 with several "fans." A considerable number of plants 

 were 4 ft. 6 in. high, with up to 15 4t fans."

VIIL— SPECIES PLACED BY SACCARDO IN THE 



GENUS PHOMA. 



W. B. Grove. 



The following notes on some of the foreign species placed by 

 Saccardo in Phoma are the result of an examination of the 

 specimens preserved under his names in the Kew Herbarium. 

 Many of them belong to those received by Berkeley or Cooke 

 from the United States during the last century, concerning which 

 nothing has been published since their receipt and first descrip- 

 tion ; upon them modern knowledge throws now a clearer light. 



This investigation is a continuation of that begun three years 

 ago, which found expression in the Kew Bulletin, 1917 (p. 49), 

 under the title " The British Species of F 'homo p sis." For this 

 reason the species w T hich belong to Phomopsis are placed first, 

 followed by those which prove to belong to other genera. There 

 are still many other species which have not yet been examined. 



With regard to Phomopsis it mav be mentioned here that the 

 present list adds one more to the British species, and that the 

 following names must be appended to those given in Kew 

 Bulletin, 1917, p. 50, of the species in which both A and B 

 spores have been observed (five of these have been already 

 recorded in the Journal of Botany, 1918, p. 292) : 



P. ampelina F. Pseudacaciae 



P. Asparayi P* pustulata 



P. corticis P. guercella 



P. delitescens P. Stewartii 



P. Eres P. subordinaria 



P. oncostoma P. venenosa 



P. padina P. viticola, var. 

 P. Pittospori ampelopsidis.
