—"Translation of original description. 
I have not seen an authentie specimen of this species nor any- 
thing on Cercis which seems referable to it. The species is 
given here on the authority of Saccardo, l. c., who refers to this 
species a Cyphella collected on Vitis vinifera near Toulouse, 
France, by Roumeguere. Saccardo does not state that he 
made comparison with an authentic specimen from Schweinitz, 
and he has entered the species in the ‘Sylloge Fungorum’ in 
both the Basidiomycetes and the Discomycetes.
