MAR. 1912.] /. MIYAKE.— STUDIES IN CHINESE FUNGI ■ G3 



S. Bupleuri-falcati Diedicke, pycnidia, epiphyllous and coni- 

 dia are very large. 



From the chief points of difference above mentioned, I could 

 not identifj^ my species with the known ones and have considered 

 it to be a new species and that it may be named 5. amphigena 

 according to the distinct character of the fungus. 



Braehyspoiium Phragmitis sp. nov. 



Spots, along the nervures of leaves, linear black on upper- 

 surface but yellowish on underside ; mj^celium, in the tissue, 

 hyaline; conidiophores, epiphyllous, ver\' numerous, solitary from 

 the epidermils, with swelled base, usually one-septate, dark, 

 30-40 p. long, 6—7 ^ broad, erect, simple (Fig. 10) ; conidia, 

 ovoidal, hyaline in 3'oung stage but light brown in ripeness, 

 2— septate, not or somewhat constricted at the septa, 30-36 n 

 long, 10-16 [J. broad (Fig, 11). 



On Phragmitis communis L. (Peking ; Oct. 1910). 



Compared with the known species of this genus on Gram- 

 ineae, this fungus differs from them in many respects, especially 

 in the following distinct points. 



B. Eexuosum (Corda.) Sacc, B. gracile (Wallr.) Sacc. 

 and B. graminis Boy. et Jacz. have conidiophores pushed out 

 in bundleform, and the size of spores does not coincide with 

 that of the present species. B. garcile (Wallr.) Sacc. var. 

 gramineum Rabh. has a spore which is different from that of 

 the ]:iresent species in its number of septa and in its form. 



Clasterosporium Mori Syd. Sacc, Syll. XVI. p. 1060. 



On Moras alba L. (Peking ; Oct. 1910). 



Very common in Peking and its vicinity. 



Clasterosporium Ancygdalearum (Pass.) Sacc. Sacc. Syll. 

 IV. p 391; SoRAUER, Ptilzkrankh. II p. 447 fig. 59; Prillieux, 

 II. p. 337 fig. 395-396. 



On Pranus Persica S. et Z. var. vulgaris Maxim. (Peking ; 

 Oct. 1910). 



On Prunus Armeniaca Linn. (Mentoukou near Peking ; Oct. 

 1910). 



Helminthosporium turcicum Pass. Sacc, Syll. IV. p. 420; 

 SoRAUER, Pflzkrankh. II. p. 450.
