 invadins: the stem.

Pustules small, black, erumpent, scattered. Sporules fusoid, 

 sometimes slightly curved, 5-6 septate, median cells coloured, two 

 terminal hyaline, may be slightly constricted at median septum, 

 crested with one hair averaging 6-10^ long, but rarely up to 17/x 

 long, and another springing obliquely from basal cell, very 

 variable in length, 9-2 2/^ long, but generally longer than apical

64. ASCOPHYTA FCENICULINA, n.sp. 



Perithecia subgregarious, erumpent then superficial, punctiform, 

 clear olivaceous by transmitted light, globose to lenticular, mem- 

 branaceous, of parenchymatous texture, with apical pore, 100-1 50/a 

 diam. Sporules olivaceous, cylindrical, straight or slightly 

 curved, not or slightly constricted at septum, occasionally a second

It differs from A. ferulce^ Pal., which occurs on white spots on 

 dead stems, in the smaller perithecia and spores which are not 

 hyaline but greenish. 



65. AscocHYTA viOLicoLA, n.sp. 



Spots whitish or pale yellow, orbicular or oval, determinate,
