This species and M. circinans are remarkable in that they have both 

 mycelial and perithecial setae and one is loath to admit that two distinct 

 species showing this very unique character are to be found in Porto 

 Rico, especially upon the same host, and more especially upon the same 

 plant, No. 9221. Still, a study of these two forms bears in the convic- 

 tion that they are actually distinct, one with apiculate spores, the other 

 obtuse, one with cylindrical, narrow, capitate, hyphopodia, the other 

 with thick angular ones, one with thick setae and mycelium, the other 

 thin. 



SECTION E 



Spores, 4-sep'tate, mycelial setae simple. No perithecial appendages.
