Type M. micoma. 
Microclava miconia sp. nov. Fig. 11. 
Mycelium internal, hyaline, 3 » thick, septate, bearing many 
swellings, and small protuberances, branches arising at very 
obtuse angles. Conidiophores, simple, erect or ascending, 
straight, 30-100 », 2% » thick near top, tapering gradually to 
base, 2 », stipe about 4septate, apex bearing 2 basal, straw- 
colored cells and 2 oval dark cells. 
On Miconia laevigata. Aguas Buenas 302 (type). 
This fungus forms dense growths of conidiophores over the 
leaf surface, often associated with a Microthyriaceous fungus,

though possibly not parasitic upon it. No close relative of this 
fungus seems to exist though it clearly belongs to the Dematia- 
ceae. Its relationship is probably with some such form as 
Triposporium which if two-spored and with each spore re- 
duced to one cell might simulate the condition here presented. 
Microclava coccolobiae sp. nov. 
Mycelium internal pale to brown, Conidiophores simple, 
about 70 » high, 3 » thick at base, stipe usually unicellular. 
Upper part broadening gradually to 8 » in thickness, and con- 
sisting of three superimposed cells.
