MICROSCOPIC FUNGI NEW TO, OR RARE IN, BRITAIN. 7 



The occurrence of this species is noteworthy, as Welwitsch had 

 previously collected it in Portugal on Scirpus maritimus.

MICROSCOPIC FUNGI NEW TO, OR RARE IN, BRITAIN. 

 By Annie Lokrain Sjiith, 



The Fungi included in the following list have heen sent to me 

 at various times for identification or verification, or they have been 

 collected by myself. Nine species (to which an asterisk is prefixed) 

 are new to Britaui, and two genera — Piptocephalis and Lizonia. For 

 the discovery of the former we are indebted to C. F. Jenkin, Esq., 

 Newport, Monmouth, who is specially to be congratulated for the 

 interesting additions he has made to our too scanty records of 

 Phycomycetes. The various species of Hyphomycetes I have ob- 

 tained from the culture of material in the Botanical Laboratory of 

 the British Museum, Cromwell Road. I have recorded in each case 

 the district from winch the leaves, &c., were gathered. It is almost 

 certain that most or indeed all of them are of frequent occurrence, 

 but from their microscopic nature they have easily been overlooked 

 by field- workers. ' 



Gonatohotrijs simplex has been found growing on decaying fruits 

 of black bryony ; I got it growing very plentifully on the stalks and 

 fruits of white bryony. The two hosts have something of the same 

 habit of growth, which accounts for the appearance of the fungus.
