CALIFORNIAN FIELD NOTES. 27 



Spots tobacco-brown, large (1 — 1^ cm.), suborbicular or 

 elongated, border indistinct, yellowish. HyphsB in dense 

 subtubercular tufts of the same color as the spots, thickly 

 scattered over the spots on both sides of the leaf, but more 

 abundant above, yellowish, continuous, more or less crooked, 

 15 — 20x3| — 4/z. Conidia variable in size and shape, yellow- 

 ish, short-cylindrical, obtuse 1 — 2-septate, 15 — 30x5—6//, or 

 elongated 50— 85yw long and 3— 5-8eptate. These elongated 

 conidia are mostly abruptly attenuated above so as to become 



obclavate. 



This is a very distinct and well-marked species. 



CORRECTIONS. 



By some oversight Cylindrosporium Ceanothi, which was 

 published in Proc. Phil. Acad., 1891, p. 84, was repeated in 

 Erythea for October, 1893. In the same number, p. 197, 

 15th line, for 7— 8x8— 4/< read 7—8x3—4//. In the July 

 number, t). 145. 9th line from the bottom, after I insert mm.

CalOCllOrtus [Concluded from p. 2.] 



In view of what I have already written of the dehiscence 

 of the capsule and the comparative rarity and variability of 

 the hairs on the sepals, the subgenus Calochortus proper 

 might be more correctly defined thus: 



"Flowers and fruit erect on stout pedicels: fiowcn 

 campanulaie; gland usually densely hairy: capsule 

 in one group narrowly ohlong, with thick lobes, acute, septi- 

 cipal; sometimes loculicidal at the summii: sepah occasion- 

 ally hairy or sub glandular , frequently spotted within, seed 

 turgid, with white loose and spongy minutely tessellated 



testa. 



Of the ten species of this group recorded for California, all 

 co,r^ n ay-iyf^ifii mnrmrnrnus and NuttalUi are found in one
