Another fungus similar in nearly all details, except colour, to 
S. leucum was found on the same cones of Pinus sylvestris at 
Tanworth-in-Arden. The appearance of the fungus suggests 
that it is a buff variety of Septocylindrium leucum, but the 
absence of 3-septate conidia and also of granules makes it ad- 
visable to describe it as a separate species.
