CrypiosphaeriaGvitv. S>cot. Crypt. Fl. I://, /j. 1823. This, 

 according to the original publication cited, was monotypic, C. Taxi 

 (Sow.) Grev. being the only species described or mentioned at that 

 time, although the next year, in Fl. Edin. 359. 1824, the author 

 included many other species. In the original description he says 

 ** Sporules always ? naked." In a footnote he says ''they [the 

 plants included in the genus] are always also characterized by 

 having their spherules not enclosed in filiform tubes as in the true 

 SpJiaeriay Thus his description as well as his type excludes as- 

 comycetous fungi. Now this monotype is found in Saccardo, Syll.

cited by Saccardo as having been published at a later date than 

 the original, Scot. Crypt. Fl. 4 : //. 201. 1826, ''pro min. parted' 

 and is used to include fourteen species of pyrenomycetous fungi, 

 only one of which was ever referred to the genus by Greville and 

 that three years after the original publication of the genus. 



Cylindrosporium Grev. Scot. Crypt. Fl. i : //. 2y. 1822, was 

 based upon the single species C. concentrkwn Grev., which was 

 described and illustrated in the place cited. Unger in 1833, Die 

 Exantheme, 168, added two species to Greville's genus, but these 

 were apparently not congeneric with Greville's species. Later, 

 Berkeley and Broome examined Greville's type specimen and re- 

 ferred his species to the later genus Glocosporiiim Desm. & Mont, 

 in. Sci. Nat. Bot. III. 12 : 295. 1849, thus depriving Greville's

 Saccardo, Michelia 2:12, ''emended" it and referred two species 

 to it, one of his and one of Berkeley's. Later, in Syll. Fung, 3 : 

 737, he attributes the name to Unger '^em. Sacc." Thus the

and Greville's name used for another genus and attributed to a 

 later author.
