Neiv or Rare Microfungi. A. L. Smith &> J. Ramsbottom. 49 



ostiolate, membranaceous ; spores colourless, subcylindrical- 

 ellipsoid, 4-6/x x 1.5-2/x. 



On living leaves of Fuchsia coccinea. 



Recorded by Spegazzini from Chili. A specimen corres- 

 ponding to the above has been found by Mr. D. A. Boyd 

 at West Kilbride, Ayrshire, on the dead bark of 

 Fuchsia stems. There is a difference of habitat (on stems 

 instead of leaves) and no specialized spots, but the similarity 

 is otherwise very close.

Pycnidia scattered over the surface of the leaves, black, 

 small, 200/1. diam., the peridium membranaceous, of rather 

 large fuliginous cells; spores broadly fusiform or sub- 

 ellipsoid, hyaline, i-septate, g/ixT,.^/JL. 



On leaves of Papaver nudicaulis in the island of Nova 

 Zembla. Specimens have been collected by D. A. Boyd 

 on tiie leaves of Dicentra spectabilis which agree fairly 

 closely with the above description. The pycnidia are scat- 

 tered or congregate from 135/x to 170 in diam., with a minute 

 pore about 35/1 diam. The spores are fusiform or sub- 

 ellipsoid and measure 8-12// x 2-3/x. 



Sepioria Scillae Westend. in Kickx Fl. Crypt. Flandres I. 

 p. 423 (1867). 



Leaf spots pale-brown. Pycnidia semi-immersed, brown- 

 ish, becoming darker, about 200/1 in diam; spores long, 

 cylindrical, straight or slightly bent, 50-75/* x 2.7/x ; 5-7 

 irregularly septate, colourless. 



On leaves of S cilia nutans. 



Coll. by D. A. Boyd, May, 1917 at West Kilbride, 

 Ayrshire. 



Kickx describes the pycnidia of his species as brown. 

 Allescher has recorded them as black. They became darker 

 with age but so far I have not seen any black specimens.

 p. 522, 1914. 



Leaf spots at first very small, round, later up to 4 mm. 

 across, thin, transparent, surrounded by a thickish, reddish- 

 brown line. Pycnidia epiphyllous, numerous, semi- 

 immersed, the upper surface composed of darker cells, and 

 about 75-90/i wide with a pore about 12/x wide. Spores
