9G AUSTRALIAN FUNGI, 



sporules which are always straight and never curved. This 

 species occurred on leaves with Sept oiHa peiifoi-auf^, McAlp., which 

 had evidently caused their withering. 



24. AscocHYTA JiYACiNTHi, Tassi. 



Killara, Vic; on languishing leaves of Agapanthus umhellatus, 

 L'Herit.; Oct., 1902. 



This species evidently agrees with that described and figured 

 by Tassi (Rev. Myc. p. 169, 1896) on Hyacinthiis oripntalis, in 

 Itaty, but the brown perithecia are crowded and very erumpent, 

 not embedded as figured. 



25. Cercospora loranthi, n.sp. 



Tufts minute, black, gregarious, seated upon definite, orbicular, 

 raised dark brown spots, which may be confluent, 1-2 mm. in 

 diam., on both surfaces of leaf. Hyphae straight or slightly 

 flexuous, simple, dark olivaceous, 1- or few septate, 35-40 x 4J-5/x. 

 Conidia straight or curved, pale olivaceous, rounded at both ends, 

 generally with bulbous or slightly swollen base, o-8-septate, here 

 and there constricted at septa, variable in length, 60-105 x 4-4J/x, 

 average 60-80 /m long. 



Dandenong Creek, Vie; on living leaves of Loranthus pjenduluSy 

 Sieber; Nov., 1902 (C. French, Jr.). 



The swollen, often confluent, dark brown, raised spots, like 

 pimples on the leaf, are very striking and are crowded with the 

 dark minute tufts, often seemingly merged into one mass. 



26. Coryneum acacle, n.sp. 



Pustules minute, elevating and rupturing epidermis, on greyish 

 centre of dark brown, orbicular, definitely circumscribed spots, 

 with greenish margin, on both surfaces of phyllode, 1-2 mm. diam. 

 Conidia bright olive, cylindrical, rounded at both ends and some- 

 times slightly tapering, often towards attached end, usually 5-6- 

 septate, not constricted at septum, straight, or slightly flexuous 

 and curved, generally 49-52 x 5-6 /x, but may only reach a length 

 of 35 /I, on short, hyaline basidia, 3^-4 yn long.
