MR. F. CURREY ON THE FRUCTIFICATION OF SIMPLE SPH^RI^. 329 



338. S. (Hendersonia) strobilina, Holl & Schm. The fruit in this species is just like 

 that of S. palina, but larger, being 0'0005 inch long. 



339. S. LoNiCERiE, Fr. S. M. ii. 492. Tab. LIX. fig. 115, ascus with sporidia, x 325. 

 Sporiclia uniseriate, colourless, or with a greenish tinge, elliptical, 0-0004 to 0-0006 

 inch long ; endochrome tripartite. 



340. S. PisiroRMis, Pers. in lit. Incorrectly arranged in this division ; it belongs to the 

 Obvallatce, and is probably the Sphseropsoid form of S. leiph<smia. 



341. S. (SPHiEROPSis) OBTUSATA, Fr. S. M. ii. 495. Spermatia colourless, curved, about 

 0-0004 inch long. 



342. S. (Hendersonia) Syringve, Fr. S. M. ii. 492. Tab. LIX. fig. 116, fruit, x 325. 

 Fruit borne on stalks, not contained in asci, irregular in size and shape, dark brown. 

 In the later arrangements it would be placed in the genus Hendersonia, or perhaps 

 in Diplodia. 



Div. 25. StJBTECT^. 



343. S. (Diplodia) Ilicis, Fr. S. M. ii. 501. Tab. LIX. fig. 117, fruit, x 325. No 

 asci. Fruit borne, I think, on short peduncles, elliptical, oblong, subglobose or tur- 

 binate, irregular in size and shape, almost colourless, but with a yellowish-green 

 tinge. 



344. S. (Diplodia) Sarmentorum, Fr. S. M. ii. 498. Tab. LIX. fig. 118, fruit, x 325. 

 No asci. Fruit borne on peduncles, dark brown, uniseptate when ripe, with sometimes 

 a large globose nucleus iu each division, irregular in size, about 0-0007 inch long 

 on an average. 



345. S. (SPHiEROPSis ?) atrovirens, )3. Buxi, Fr. No asci. Stylospores exactly like those 

 of S. Jitglandis, but not septate or nucleate. Pedimcles rather long. 



346. S. epldermidis, Fr. S. M. ii. 499. Tab. LIX. fig. 119, ascus with sporidia, X 325. 

 Sporidia uniseriate or slightly overlapping, rather light brown, elliptical, uniseptate, 

 or with the endochrome bipartite, hardly 0-0004 iach long. There is another plant 

 La the herbarium, marked by Mr. Berkeley S. epidermidis, Fr., ia which the perithecia 

 have no asci, but contain a mass of fusiform, straight or slightly curved, yeUow 



■ spores, faiatly 1-, 2-, or 3-septate, or 1-, 2-, or 3-nucleate, measuring from 0-0002 to 

 0-0006 inch. These spores are drawn to the right of the ascus in fig. 119. 



347. S. Rusci, WaUr. Tab. LIX. fig. 120, sporidia, x 450. Sporidia straight or curved, 

 normally 4-septate, occasionally 3- or 5-septate, constricted at the septa, each division 

 usually with one or more nuclei ; colour of the sporidia a clear yellowish brown ; 

 length 0-0006 to 0-0010 inch. 



348. S. SERiATA, n. s. Tab. LIX. fig. 121, sporidia, x 325. Sporidia biseriate, colourless, 

 slightly curved, with many nuclei, fusiform, 0-0008 inch long. Perithecia small, 

 globose, btu'sting in somewhat parallel Ltnes through the surface of the wood. 



Div. 26. Caulicolje. 



349. S. DoLiOLUM, Pers. ; Fr. S. M. ii. 609. Tab. LIX. fig. 122, sporidia, x 325. Sporidia 

 biseriate, or uniseriate and overlapping, yellowish brown, curved, or almost straight, 

 3-5-septate, constricted at the septa, 0001 inch long, or rather more.
