ERIOSPORA, 0. g. 
Stroma multicellulare ; cellulis globosis poro unico communi 
sporas filiformes tenerrimas primo quaternatim sporophoras coro- 
nantibus effundentibus. 
438. Eriospora leucostoma. On dead leaves of Typha, Spye 
Park, Wilts, Feb. 1850, C. E. Broome. 
Spots pitch-brown, very thin and diffused toward the edges, 
not a line broad, marked in the centre with a punctiform white- 
bordered pulverulent aperture. Stroma depressed. Cells vary- 
ing in number, generally globose, but sometimes from the con- 
fluence of one or more depressed. Spores very long, filiform, so 
delicate that they wave from the minute currents formed by the 
evaporation of the water in which they are placed for examina- 
tion on the table of the microscope, at first seated four together 
ou short cylindrical sporophores, but soon falling off. 
Not unlike the foregoing species, but the spores forbid its 
being placed in the same genus. It exactly answers to the genus 
Robergea of the Ascosporous series.

439. Gleosporium paradoxum, Mont. in litt. = Myxosportum 
paradoxum, D. Not. Mic. Dec. 2. fig. 10. On leaves of ivy, Pen- 
zance, J. Ralfs, Esq. ; King’s Cliffe. 
440. G. labes, Mont. in litt.= Asteroma labes, Berk. Brit. Fung. 
no. 346. 
441, G. concentricum, Berk. & Br. = Cylindrosporum concen- 
tricum, Grev. Scot. Crypt. Fl. t..27. 
Authentic specimens lately forwarded for imspection by Dr. 
Greville show the spores to be produced beneath the cuticle, and 
to form little heaps by oozing out as in other species of Glao- 
sporium. ‘The notion formerly broached, of its bemg a form of 
Cystopus candida, arose from a specimen in Sir W, J. Hooker’s 
herbarium received from Dr. Greville, but which unfortunately 
was not the true plant, but a form of the common white rust with 
cylindrical truncate spores.
