PAPERS ON BOTANY 196 
cinia cannae on Canna, 4168, 3610, 6292. San German 4168. 
On Uromyces leptodermus on Lasiacis divaricata, 4608, 4677, 
6089, 447, 4793; on Panicum barbinode, 3953; on Uredo aes- 
chynomenis on Aeschynomene americana, 3945; on Puccinia 
huberi on Panicum trichoides, Jayuya, 5981; on Puccima subs- 
triata, on Eriochloa subglabra. Mayaguez 481. On Puccinia 
gouaniae, Utuado. A paraphysate, 8-spored ascomycete was 
found associated with the Darluca but was in such condition 
that it could not be determined. 
Phyllosticta Pers. 
Phyllosticta lantanae sp. nov. 
Spots small 1-3 mm. in diameter, white above, tan colored 
below. Pycnidia 140 » in diameter, ostiole 15-17 ». Spores 
oblong, 7x2 u. 
On Lantana odorata Desecheo Island, 168, (type), Mona 
Island, 6416, 6440, Utuado, 6592, Guanica, 332. 
The spore size is in close agreement with that of P. gei Bres, 
but it does not agree with this in other regards. 
Phyllosticta clusiae sp. nov. 
Spot large, 5 cm. or more in diameter, pale, border definite, 
Pycnidia numerous, scattered profusely over the blanched area, 
epiphyllous, sub-cuticular, erumpent, 110-140 » in diameter, 
black, ostiolate. Conidia oblong-elliptical, obtuse, continuous, 
hyaline, 10x5 pz. 
On dead leaves of Clusia rosea, Maricao, 739a (type). 
It differs essentially in characters of the spot from P. ar- 
throphylli Koord., which is the only species with which it shows 
agreement in size of spores. 
Phyllosticta superfictale sp. nov. 
Pycnidia straw colored, 68x94 u in diameter. Ostiole 7 » in 
diameter, dark bordered, Pycnidia entirely superficial borne 
on the hyaline mycelium among the surface hairs of the host. 
Spores somewhat irregular, oblong, 4-5x1.5 », hyaline, con- 
tinuous.
