Septoria Polygonina Thuem. Sacc, Syll. III. p. 554., 



On Polygonum orientale L. var. pilosum AIeisn. Peking ; 

 Oct. 1910). 



According to my observation, this fungus is accompanied 

 bj' a certain Phyllosticta-fovm that is very similar to P. poly- 

 gonoram Sacc Since the fact, that the spores of two kinds 

 like Septoria and Phyllosticta are formed sometimes in one 

 and the same species was proved by the infection experiments 

 of Dr. Klebahn, Dr. Voglino has also verified that Phyllosticta 

 and Rhabdospora on eggplants belong to the same species. In 

 my former examination, I have found that the spores oi Phoma 

 niphonia Nomura (more correctly Diaporthe or Phomopsis 

 orientalis Sacc et Speg.) and Rhabdospora curvula Berl. on 

 Moras alba L. appear in one pycnidium. Therefore it may be 

 concluded that these two species considered as different ones 

 hitherto, must be regarted as one. The causes of abnormal 

 sporeformation are, however, not yet known. From the above 

 instances one can easily conclude that there are close relations 

 among some (though not all) species oi Septoria and Phyllosticta. 



Septoria Cirsii Niessl. Sacc, Syll. III. p. 550. 



On Saussurea sp. (Peking ; Oct. 1910). 



This is another instance of the abnormal sporeformation 

 which I have mentioned above. In this species the other spore- 

 form is very similar to Phyllosticta profiisa Sacc 



Septoria Piri sp. nov. 



Spots, on leaves, roundish or elliptical, 2—5 mm. in diama- 

 ter, often confluent forming large irregular specks, darkbrown, 

 forming one or two small roundish grey centres, with black 

 points, the size of which is about one half or one sixth the spot 

 in diameter; pycnidia, amphigenous, densely gregarious, ovoidal, 

 immersed into the tissue with large round mouth, pseudo- 

 parenchymatic, darkbrown, 150—200 /-« in diameter (Fig, 7) ;
