REPORT OF THE BOTANIST. 53 
Judge Clinton remarks that the fungus curls and kills the leaves 
of the cultivated roses. The fungus is now regarded as a state of 
Spherotheca pannosa, the perfect condition of which we have not 
yet seen. 
Stysanus Stemonitis Cd. 
Fallen leaves of Amelanchier Canadensis. 
Our specimens do not fully agree with the description and are 
therefore referred here with some hesitation. The stem is black and 
has a decidedly swollen or bulbiform base so that, after the spores 
have fallen, the plant might readily be taken for a Spheeria with a 
long subnulate ostiolum. 
Daoctytium rosEum Berk. 
On apples. Albany. November. 
The apples were first attacked by Spzlocwa Pomi, then on these 
affected spots this fungus appeared, forming a whitish, scarcely 
roseate, effused pulverulent mass. 
FusisPoRIUM PHYLLOGENUM C. & P. n. sp. 
Hypophyllous, collected in suborbicular spots; flocci fasciculate, 
simple or branched, nodulose; spores cylindrical, curved, three to 
seven-septate, colorless, .0025—.003’ long. 
Living leaves of Hrigeron annuum. Bethlehem. October. 
F UsIsPORIUM PARASITICUM 7. sp. 
Flocci delicate, tufted, sometimes branched, white; spores unequal 
in length, three to tive-septate, straight or curved, usually pointed at 
one end and obtuse at the other, colorless, .0012~.002' long. 
On Spheria Collinsii. Center. July. 
ZYGODESMUS HYDNOIDEs B. & C. 
Decaying wood. Buffalo. Clinton. September. 
CH2TOMIUM FUNICOLUM Ck. 
Old broom. Albany. 
The specimens are old and without asci and are to this extent 
doubtful, but they appear to belong here. 
UncinvuLa GEntcuLata Ger. 
Leaves of Morus rubra. Poughkeepsie. Gerard. September. 
GEOGLOssUM NIGRITUM Pers. 
Marshy ground in woods. Greig. September. (Plate 1, figs. 
20-22.) 
Externally this species resembles G. Peckianwm, from which it is
