new genus, Piluia, Massee, with one species, P. straminea, is 
described from material sent from N yasaland. 
wo other species are of some interest, namely, —— 
Worsdellii, Massee, and Phoma welwitschiae, Massee, as they w 
found on the dead tips of the leaves of Welwitschia minabilia, 
Hook. f., in Damaraland, by Mr. W. C. Worsdell.
