On the under side of the leaves of spinach. Spring and autumn. 

 Very frequent and highly injurious. — Forming effused spots, 2 — 6 lines 

 broad, resembling some small Erineuniy generally rendering the leaf 

 yellow. Flocci very short, often abruptly recurved. Dr. Greville's 

 plant is exactly the same as that I have in vievi^. There is little doubt 

 that B.farinosay Fr. is also synonymous; but he describes the branches 

 as simply elongated and corymbose.

On all sorts of decaying bodies. Extremely common. — /3. on gum, 

 apples, &c. Not uncommon. — Fries has certainly shown a correct 

 judgment in considering Floccaria glauca as a state of this species. I 

 have seen the one clearly passing into the other on the same apple, and 

 I believe that this very singular change takes place in general from a too 

 abundant supply of moisture.
