104 DECADES OF BRITISH FUNGI. 
Messrs. Berkeley and Broome’s interpretation of the S. epidermidis of 
Fries, having uniseptate, elliptical, brown sporidia. It is one of the 
species concerning which great confusion has existed, and to which 
many very different plants have been referred. (Fig. 10, tetrasporous 
asci, x 300 | 
17. SPH@HRELLA ISARIPHORA, De Not. Epiphyllous. Perithecia very 
small, globose, depressed, scattered, black, often concealed beneath the 
epidermis. Ostiola poriform. Asci elongated, containing the oval or 
oblong sporidia, which are almost colourless, uniseriate, and uniseptate.

M. Desmaziéres observes that this species often supports a minute para- 
sitie Zsaria, whence its name. I have never been able to find such a 
parasite, although I have sought for it diligently. M. Westendorp 
makes a similar observation of want of success in verifying the fact.

already published.

—Authentie specimens received, from M: Westendorp place it be- 
yond doubt that my plant is the same as that found in Belgium. It 
is nevertheless a true Trichobasis, with evanescent peduncles to the 
fruit, and cannot belong to Uredo as that genus is now understood. 
* Tricuosasts RHAMNI, Cooke in Seem. Journ. Bot. ii. p. 344 ; 
. Micro. Fungi, p. 210.— Since the accounts quoted were published, T 
have found a Puccinia, mixed with Trichobasis, on the same leaves, 
.. Which cannot be distinguished from Puccinia prunorum, Lk. There- 
.. fore this cannot be maintained as a distinct, species.
