96 SUMMARY OF CURRENT RESEARCHES RELATING TO 



family, Stegasphaeriacese, very near to Clypeosph^riaceffi ; and in tli& 

 same family, Stegaphora ulmea, formerly Gnomonia sp. Other new 

 genera of Ascomycetes are—Fi/cnopeUis (Trichopeltacearum) ; Stegano- 

 pijcnis (Sphserioide^) ; Discothecium (Leptostromatge) ; and a new- 

 genus of Hyphomycetes, Xiphomyces (Tuberculariaceae), with very large 

 continuous acrogenous yellow-brown conidia. A. L. S. 



Fungi Papuani. — H.and P. Sydow {Engler's lot Jahrl., 1916, 54^ 

 246-61, 3 figs. ; see also Ann. Mycol, 1916, 14, 468-9). These include 

 Basidiomycetes, Ascomycetes and Fungi Imperfecta A number of new 

 species are described in each group, and as new genera Scrosperma 

 (Sphseropsidese), and Sarophonm (Hyphomycetes). A. L. S. 



Contributions to Mycology. IX. — Fr. von Hohnel {Zeitschr. f, 

 Gdhrimgsphysiologie, 1915, 5, 191-215 ; see also Ann. J7^co/., 1916,14, 

 122-3). Yon Hohnel publishes an account of llyxosporium, a genus 

 of Melanconiea3, the species of which grow on branches of trees. He 

 has subdivided it into fourteen new genera, and finds Myxosporium as 

 understood by Link and others does not exist. . A. L. S. 



Fungi from Various Localities. — Fr. Bubak (Ann. My col., 191(>, 

 14, 341-52, 2 figs.). The author deals mostly with new species — one 

 Entomophthora, the others belonging to Sphseropsidese or Hyphomycetes,, 

 and mostly collected in Bohemia. A new genus, Titseospora (Mucedinege)^ 

 is described, with peculiar curved septate spores. It has been found in 

 Europe and America. Another, Colnmnophora (Demetieae), has been 

 fipjured and described : it grows on the stroma of Rhytisma Salicis.

Mycological Notes. — R. G. Fragoso [Mem. Real. Soc. Esp. Hist. 

 Nat., 1919, 11, 77-123, 1 fig.). A large number of microfungi belong- 

 ing to many different families and genera are listed. Several are new to 

 science. Many of them, such as species of Phyllachora and Erisyphey 

 are parasitic on living plants. A full index is provided. A. L. S. 



Contribution to the Knowledge of the Fungus-Flora of the 

 Philippine Islands.— H. and P. Sydow {Ann. Mycoh, 1917, 15, 165- 

 268, 3 figs.). This list includes representatives of many different 

 groups. Most abundant of all are the Pyrenomycetes, and many of the 

 species recorded are new. The authors have also described new genera ; 

 these are : — Ceratochaete, Teratone^na, Irene, Melanomyces, Linotexis,. 

 Bolosplisera, Dimerinopsis, Baker omyces, Prostigme, Linoholus, Lino- 

 carpon, Hyalocrea, Epinectria, Stereocrea, Lasiostemma, Chsetaspis, Pleio- 

 stomella, iSynpeUis, Metanoplaca, Chaetoplaca, Eremothecella, Yatesula, and 

 Peltella. Among Discomycetes they have also estabhshed new genera : — 

 Benguetia, with a spreading disc and a dense black hypothecium ; 

 Calloriopsis, as the name implies, near to Calloria ; and Ramosiella, near 

 to JEgyron. In Sphnpropsidea? they have placed as new — Stenocarpella, 

 Botryogene, Discotheciella, and Peltaster. Leucodochium is a new genus 

 of Tuberculariaceae ; the conidia are green coloured. FuUgo septica is 

 the only Myxomycete recorded. A. L. S.
