533] MELIOLA IN PORTO RICO — STEVENS 65 



95b. M. BicOBNis VAB. GALACTiAE var. nov. 



On Oalactia duhia P. DC. 



Rio Tanama, July 6, 15, 7856 (type). 



The form on Galactia is well differentiated with large, capitate 

 hyphopodia and usually with divided setae. 



/ 

 Meliola sp. indet. Mayaguez, May 1, '13, No. 1067 on a legume 



said by Percy Wilson to be "possibly a narrow leaved form of Clitoria 



ruhiginosa Juss." 



This collection consisting of a few leaves I have not named because 



of the scanty material. It is a 4-septate form with no mycelial setae, 



but with obtuse perithecial appendages which are curved, 27-51 x 7/i, 



Perithecia 125-172/i in diameter. Mycelium quite typical in the manner 



in which the threads anastomose. Capitate hyphopodia alternate, head 



cell nearly globular. Mucronate hyphopodia opposite or alternate, neck 



long, narrow. Spores 4-septate, 41 x 17/i, obtuse. 



M. cookenana, Speg. Specimens on Lippia, Stachytarpheta and 

 Lantana, bearing this name are in the New York Garden collections. 

 The determination on Lantana is evidently erroneous. The other speci- 

 mens have not been examined.
