Glomerella rufomaculans (Berk.) S. & S. (= Gloeosporium 

 rufomaculans (Berk.) Thiim., page 102. — On the fruits and twigs 

 of the apple. Causes a rotting of the former and cankers on the 

 latter. The fruit rot originates as small, yellowish-brown spots 

 usually with a purplish-red border ; the spots enlarge, becoming dark 

 brown in center with light brown margins and gradually become 

 more or less sunken; the twig or branch cankers are circular or 

 oblong, somewhat sunken, dry and more or less cracked. 



The acervuli {Gloeosporium fructigenum, G. rufomaculans) ar- 

 ranged in circles and discharge an abundance of sticky, pink spores, 

 spores are variable in size and shape, 28 x 3.5-7 /a. 



The perithecia are subspherical, more or less grouped, asci sub- 

 clavate, 55-70 /*; ascospores 12-22 x 3-5 [i.

Glomerella rufomaculans vaccinii Shear. — On the upper 

 surface of leaf and on fruit of the cranberry, causing the anthrac- 

 nose disease. Acervuli small, scattered over both leaves and old 

 berries; conidiophores non-septate, tapering, 15 to 20 /x long; conidia 

 Hght flesh-colored in mass, oblong to elliptical, sometimes slightly 

 smaller at one end, hyaline, 12-18 x 4.5-6 /*; perithecia membranous, 

 subglobose or slightly pear-shaped; asci clavate, sessile or short 

 stipitate, 60-72 x 10-12 fi; sometimes accompanied by apparently 

 evanescent paraphyses; sometimes slightly unequilateral or curved 

 hyaline becoming pale green-yellow, 9-18 x 5-7.5 //..
