﻿368 Peck : New Species of 



Seftoria. 



On SUene Virguiica, Auburn, Ala., May 29, 1897. Earle & 



Baker. 



Spots pallid, irregular, 2-8 mm., sometimes confluent, with an 

 indistinct brownish border : perithecia scattered, abundant, black, 

 thin-walled, with a large ostiolum, about So ;i : sporules cylindri- 

 cal, straight or bent, ends rounded, continuous or at length uni- 

 septate, 20-30 x 3 /*. 



This seems to differ from 5. silcnicola Sacc. (S. Silaics E. & M.), 



and 5. noctiflora E. & K. in the darker perithecia and somewhat 



* 



shorter and broader spores. Unfortunately the N. A. F. speci- 

 mens of both these species to which I have access are sterile. 

 The spotting of the leaves in both agrees quite closely with that 

 produced by our fungus. The description of S. dirnera Sacc. in- 

 dicates that it is very near our form, but it is not recorded from 

 this country and I have seen no specimens. It does not seem ad- 

 visable to propose a new name for this form until it can be com- 

 pared with good specimens of the three above-mentioned species.
