Indiana Fungi—Vv. 213 
Sphaeronema fimbriatum (Hl. & Hals.) Sace. On young sweet-potato 
plant, spring of 1916. (This and Nectria Ipomoeae were both in fruit on 
one plant.) 38707. 
Sphaeropsis malorum Pk. On pear, May 15, 1917. Wade. 3739. On 
quince, October 24, 1916. 3709. 
Vermicularia Dematium (VPers.) Fr. var. microspora n. var. On Acer 
saccharinum, Campus, March 17, 1916. For the most part, on decorticated 
wood. Also on inside and outside of loosened bark in the same region. 
3673. Many varieties of this species have been described, based for the 
most part upon spore size and shape. The form as it appears here, has a 
remarkably small spore as compared with other forms heretofore noted. 
So noticeable is this difference that a varietal distinction becomes neces- 
sary. The following description as differing from the species type is here 
recorded : 
Pyenidia 150 to 500 microns (Usually 235 to 325.), varying greatly in size 
and shape; spines 125 to 300 by 5 to 7%, opaque, especially dark near the 
base, pointing outward ; spores 5 to 8 by 1 to 2, hyaline. 
Melanconiales. 
Cylindrosporium Scrophulariae Sace. & Ell. On living leaves of Scutel- 
laria canescens, Griffey Creek, July 7, 1920. O’Neal. 3790. Differs some- 
what from the description as follows: the broad margin around the spots, 
is dark purple. Spores are septate and one end often broader. The three 
guttulae not noticeable. Aceryuli about 50 microns in diameter. Habit on 
the leaves is much like Septoria Scrophulariae. 
Cylindrosporium Toxicodendri EF. & BH. On Rhus Toxicodendron, 1911. 
C. H. Sutton. 3528. 
Cylindrosporium Ulmicolum E. & E. On living leaves of Morus rubra, 
Campus, October 15, 1915. This fungus was associated with a species of 
Alternaria which, however, seems to follow as a saprophyte. 3659. Spores 
45 to 65 by 2 to 6, and mostly 4-septate. 
Gloeosporium Betularum Ell. & Mart. On Betula nigra, Campus, June 
31, 1920. These leaves were taken from young trees which had been 
shipped from Tennessee. Though differing much from the orginal descrip- 
tion, there seems to bo no doubt of the species being the same as described 
from Pennsylvania. (See Am. Nat. 1882, p. 1,002.) In our specimens, the 
aceryuli are almost wholly hypophyllous and are variable in size, sometimes 
quite large and rupturing irregularly. The most striking thing about this 
species is the abundance of pointed spores. They are described as being 
obovate ; however, they also have the lower end tapering to a point. 5774. 
Gloeosporium nervisequum (Fekl.) Saec. Belongs to Gnomonia veneta 
(Sace. & Speg.) Kleb. On sycamore, University Farm, August 5, 1920. 
Spores are for the most part, 4 to 5 by 10 to 12. The aceryuli are here 
usually on the upper side of the leaf and along the outer edges of the vein— 
that is, in two rows. 3793. 
Marsonia Martini Sacc. & Ell. On living leaves of Quercus robur, Campus, 
Tune 25, 1920. 3775.
