Forming dense masses in the inside of rotten cabbage stalks. 

 Batheaston, April.

Peziconia Fhillipsii. Ji.<SJi- Leight. Ann. N. II., No. 1453. 



Very minute, stem attenuated upwards, head globose, spores

 Fungi Britt. ii. ined. 



On soil. Trefriw. 



Spores (-0004 in.) -Ol m.m. diam. Looks at first sight like a 

 little Sphinctrina, so minute that it is quite invisible to the naked 

 eye, B. ^ Br. 



Cladotzichum uniseptatum. Coolie , 

 Effused, black ; flocci branched, furcate, nodulose, septate, upper 

 joints inflated or cupulate ; spores oblong, obtuse, constricted, uni- 

 septate, often collapsed at tlie extremities, and then apparently 

 truncate. PI, 48, fig. 2. 



On sticks, Darenth, March, 



Forming thick black velvety patches, sometimes nearly an inch 

 in length. Closely allied to C. triseptatmn, but the spores are 

 never more than uniseptate. The collapsed extremities cause 

 the spores to assume a quadrate form, and then there is some 

 resemblance to terminal septa in the line of the collapsed epispore, 

 •02 X -01 m.m. 



Virgaspozium. Cooke. 



Flocci erect, septate ; spores terminal, clavate or baculaeform, 

 multinucleate or multiseptate, hyaline. 



In habit very similar to Cladosporium, which the threads also 

 resemble, but the spores are very different. The flocci are not so 

 rigid, so highly developed, or so carbonized as in most species of 

 Helminthosporium, indeed, but for the fruit, the closest affinity is 

 with Cladosporium and Passalora. 



Virgasporium maculatum. Cooke. (PI. 48, fig. 4.J 



Epiphyllous ; flocci fasciculate, short, scattered over sub-orbicu- 

 lar or irregular tawny spots, simple or slightly branched, septate ; 

 spores terminal, linear, slightly thickened toward the base, multi- 

 septate, hyaline (•04-*08 X 005 m.m.), — Cladosporium (?) macu- 

 latum, Cooke Fungi Britt. ii., with jig. 



On fading leaves of Reseda. Jersey, 



To this genus also belongs Helminthosporium clavatum, Gerard,* 

 and probably Helminthosporium olivaceuni, B. & C, which we have 

 not seen, 



* Virgasporium clavatum. (Ger.) PI. 48, fig. 4. Hypophyllis, floccis olivaceis, 

 fasciculatis, erectis, brevibus, septatis. Sporis obclavato-elongatis, multiseptatia 

 ( 05-75 X '005 m.m,— On fading leaves of Asclejpias incarnata (Gerard), and 

 Oerardia (Peck). New York, U.S.-rThere are no definite tawny spots as in V. 

 maculatum.
