Pycnidia somevvliat scattered, occasionally a few clustered to- 

 gether, conical-de]:)ressed, up to | mm. diam., shining-black, long, 

 covered by the epidermis, which is at length elevated and whitish in 

 the centre, surrounded by a circular blackish-brown halo, sometimes 

 several occupying a common blackish area which is bounded by a 

 distinct narrow black DiajJortJie-like line ; the split epidermis is 

 tinally penetrated by a minute black ostiole ; texture everywhere 

 thick, of squarish dark olive-brown parenchyma. Spores fusoid, 

 occasionally more rounded above, biguttulate, 7-9 x 2|-8 /x ; sporo- 

 phores subulate, acuminate, granular-guttulate below, 12-22 X 1^-2 [x : 

 with these a few B-spores, lunate-acuminate, rarely hooked, 20 x 1 /x.

Von Holinel mistakenly confuses this with Phoma Ilicis Desm., 

 and therefore renames it Phoniopsis Ilicis -y. Holm. The spores of 

 Phoma Ilicis Desm. are very different, being more like those of 

 llacrophoma cylindrospora. P. crustosa belongs to Diaporthe 

 crustosa Sacc. & Koum. in Rev. Mycol. 1881, p. 48,' pi. 19. f. 8 (Syll. 

 i. 682), which is also D. ilicina Cooke in Grevill. 1890, xviii. 74. 

 This Dia])orthe, as well as the Phomopsis, occurs on leaves and 

 branches. Only traces of it are found on the Ayrshire specimens. 

 The " B-spores " are doubtful, but did not seem to be merely elon- 

 gated narrow sporophores. 



321. Phoniopsis Garryae, sp. n. 



P3^cnidiis superne incompletis, stlpatis, ca. 200 /i diam., conicis, 

 })allidis, diu epidermide tectis, denique nigris. A-sporulis elliptico- 

 fusoideis, s?epe biguttulatis, utrinque acutis, 5|-7x2-24/i, sporo- 

 phoris lineari-subulatis, plerumque curvatis, 15-20 x 1| /u, suffultis : 

 B-sporulis immixtis, linearibus v. anguste fusoideis, utrinque acumi- 

 natis, 15-17 X f-1 ^, sporo])horis non visis. 



Hab. in ramulis emortuis Garryce ellipticce, socia Diaporthe. 

 West Kilbride, Ayrshire (Boyd). Aug. 



The Diaporthe will be described later. 



322. Phomopsis Hyperici, sp. n. 



Pycnidiis sparsis v. subgregariis, irregulariter seriatis, diu epider- 

 mide convexa pustulatim elevata tectis, demum vertice leviter erum- 

 pentibus, oblongis, usque 400 yu latis ; contextu crasso et f uliginoso. 

 A-sporulis fusoideis, utrinque acutis, biguttulatis, 7-8x1^-2^, 

 sporophoris lineari-subulatis, subsequilongis, e strato crasso olivaceo 

 oriundis suffultis : B-sporulis filiformibus, curvatis, plerumque hamatis, 

 25-80 xlyu, A-sporulis inmiixtis, sed sporophoris brevioribus suffultis. 



Hah. in ramulis emortuis Hyperici Androscemi. West Kilbride, 

 Ayrshire (Boyd). July. 



Both kinds of spores grew intermixed in the same pycnidium. 

 Cf. Phoma leptidula Sacc. Syll. iii. 187, which might well be the 

 C-spores of the same fungus.
