1890. |; FAIRMAN—FUNGI OF WESTERN NEW YORK. 51 
On dead stems of Solanum dulcamara, Ridgeway, Orleans Co., N. 
Y., May, 1889. 
This might be referred to V. Dematium, but until the limits of that 
species are fixed we propose this as new. 
9g. Phoma Weldiana, ». sf. 
Perithecia few, scattered, black, shining, small, oval or rotund. 
25-39 w. diam. Spores oblong, pointed at one end abruptly, or both at 
times rounded, 10-15x3 w. 
On decorticated wood of Luonymus atropurpureus. Vyndonville, 
N. Y., May, 1889. . 
Name (Weldiana) after Miss L. A. Weld, who has assisted me in 
the determination of host plants and in the preparation of the plates. 
10. Phoma albovestita, x. sp. 
Cortical spots mostly surrounded by a white zone, most apparent 
before rupture. 
Perithecia small, erumpent, nestling in the inner bark, occasion- 
ally clustered, dull black. Spores oblong, ends obtusely rounded. 
4-7 X1¥%-2 pm. 
On bark of /Juglans cinerea, May, 1 889. 
11. Phoma Lyndonvillensis, x, sf., (Plate 3, fig. 4). 
Occupying faded spots on the stem. Perithecia ostiolate filled 
with minute oval or oblong sporules, sometimes nucleated, 3-6 u. diam. 
On stems of JZalva rotundifolia, April, 1888. Found on the stems 
of plants which had been attacked the previous fall by Septoria malvicola 
E.and M. Both the Phoma and Septoria may be connected as states of 
some higher or ascomycetous fungus. In the spring, as early as the snow 
has gone, one can find, on the green stems of the A7a/va, here and there, 
bleached or dead spots, generally one inch long on which the Phoma 
grows. There is a Phoma Malvacearum, but the above peculiar growth 
has induced me to separate our plant. 
12. Phoma Rudbeckia, z. s/. 
Perithecia numerous, erumpent, globose depressed, ostiolate, light 
black. Sporules oblong, rounded at the ends, 4-6 uw. long, 2-3 «. broad, 
hyaline.
