GLG@OSPORIUM. A genus 
of very destructive fungi, several 
members of which attack frnits 
like Apples, Almonds, Raspberries, 
Blackberries, Currants, Goose- 
berries, and Vines, while others 
affect Rhododendrons, Sycamores, 
&e. In all there are characteristic 
spots and pustules, which may be 
fonnd upon either leaves or frnit, 
or upon both. At first they are 
usually brownish or reddish, but 
finally become black, which latter 
circumstance has given rise to the 
popular name of Anthracnose in 
the case, say, of Gleosporium vene- 
tum, found upon both Raspberries 
and Blackberries, and most de- 
structive in America. Other well- 
known species are G. fructigenum, 
responsible for Apple Rot, or Ripe 
Rot; G. ribis, for the Currant 
Anthracnose of America, but 
occurring also in this country and 
upon the Continent; G. ampel-

Gleosporium—continued. 
ophagum, for Black Rot of Grapes; G. musarum, for the 
well-known blackish spots upon the frnits of Bananas; 
G. nervisequum, for the Sycamore Blight of America ; 
G. rhododendri, for the yellow blotches upon Rhododen- 
drons, though not recorded from England. The pustules 
are in reality the fruits of the fungus; they appear 
separately, but often coalesce or become confluent.

GLORIOSA. According to 
J. G. Baker (in the ‘Flora of 
Tropical Africa’’), this genus now 
includes five species. To those 
described on p. 74, Vol. IL, the 
following shonld be added: 
G. abyssinica (Abyssinian). 7. pro- 
duced from the upper axils ; perianth 
segments refiexed, not crisped, Zin. 
to 3in. long, Zin. to lin. broad ; pedi- 
cels 3in. to 4in. long. JU. oblong, 
acuminate, sometimes tendrilled at 
apex, Sin. to 6in. Jong, lsin. broad; 
upper ones alternate. Stem erect, 
lft. to 2ft. long, simple or branehed.

GLOSSOPETALON (from glossa, ‘a tongne, and 
petalon, a petal: in reference to the shape of the petals).

The correct 
shrubs. Flowers white, sparse, axillary, shortly peduncn- 
late; calyx deeply five-cleft; petals five, long tongne- 
shaped; stamens ten. Leaves alternate, spathulate, 
entire, small. G. meionandrum (R. G. 1894, p. 237, f. 52), 
the only species introduced, is described as a compact, 
much-branched, thorny shrub, with inconspicuons, whitish 
flowers, native of Colorado, &c. It thrives in any fairly 
good soil, and may be increased by cuttings. 
GLOW-WORM (Lampyris noctiluca). A name applied 
to a species of British Beetle found occasionally in country 
gardens, and one which should be preserved. In this 
particular species the wingless female emits the brighter 
light; but the male also gives off a phosphorescent 
light ; while even the egg, larya, and pnpa are luminons. 
In some countries the reverse obtains, and the male is 
the chief light-bearer. It is thonght that in the case of
