some of the pycnidia there were large numbers of the filiform 
spores, which ‘were seen both in situ. (parallel, crowded, an 
intermixed with the A-spores) and loose among the spore-mass. 
They were of various shapes, flexuous, curved, arcuate, and 
hooked, but always filiform; their sporophores were but little 
different from those of the A-spores. ‘This species may be 
considered the most typical Phomopsis of all those examined.

tinent also on Cytisus and Sambucus, but this is doubtful. This 
species forms short linear black flecks, arranged longitudinally 
on the stem, about 1 mm. long on the average, but also shorter 
or longer in some cases. The statement in the description that 
the Sand it are “‘ very short’’ is not in accordance with the 
specimens issued by Ss wee il. no. 59), in which they
