SPECIES TO BE TRANSFERRED TO DENDROPHOMA. 



5G3. Phoma longipes, Berk. Sf Curt. 

 Dendrophoma longipes, Grove. 



Pycnidia densely scattered or subconfluent, immersed, then 

 erumpent, subglobose, obtuse or somewhat papillate, glabrous, 

 black, about 200 /x diam. ; texture thick and dark-brown. Spores 

 subcylindrical, but rather irregular, 4-5 x 0-75-1 /z, borne at 

 the apex of subulate sporophores which are fasciculate at the 

 base, and occasionally (but not often) branched above, 12-15 x 



2 ,u. (Fig. 6).

On branches of Mows rubra, South Carolina (Herb. Berk. no.

This is quite different from Phomopsis moricola, and is easily 



distinguished from Phoma Mororum, which has obsolete sporo- 

 phores. It is closely allied to Dendrophoma olivaceo-hirta, 

 Starb., but not identical with it, and has nothing to do with 

 the aseophorous form which was confused under this latter name 

 by Cooke. (This may be, as he says, Massaria olivacea, Cooke, 

 in Grevill. xvii. 92; it has dark opaque-brown fusoid spores, 

 about 50 x 16 u. Schweinitz evidently sent out an aseophorous 

 and a pycnidial form, both under the name Sphaeria olivaceo- 

 hirta, Schw.).

DOTHIORELH DIATRYPEA, GrOVC. 



Sphaeropsis diatrypea, Cooke & Ell. in Grevill. 1877, vi. 2, t. 



•95, f. 6. 



Pvcnidia subglobose, 300-400 fx diam., rather convex or even 



e above, blackish-brown, immersed 2-8 together in a 

 dingy-brown stroma, which is oblong* or lanceolate, longitudinally 

 placed, erumpent and surrounded bv the cleft epidermis. Spores 

 very numerous, oblong-ellipsoid or oblong-cylindrical, rounded 

 at the ends, hyaline, 9-11 x 3-4 /x; sporophores not seen. (Fig.
