.Syll., n. 877.

Far. fungicolum, Sacc., Syll., n. 877 ; Grevillea, pi. 157, 

 fig. d. 



Conidia elliptic-oblong base apiculate, remaining for a 

 long time continuous, then 1-septate, not constricted, 18-23

Dactylium cervinum, B. & Br., Ann. Nat. Hist., n. 1716. 



On branches of laburnum. 



There is no specimen in Berkeley's herbarium, and owing 

 to the absence of information respecting the mode of branch- 

 ing, it is uncertain whether the present belongs to Diplo- 

 sporium or to Diplocladium. 



TRICHOTHECITJM. Link. (fig. 14, p. 274.) 



Sterile hyphae creeping ; fertile, simple, erect ; conidial
