H. viridirufa, B. & Rav. Grev. IV, p. 14. 



"Subglobose, congested, or conflQent, greenish-rufous. Ostiola 

 impressed. Sporidia oblong, with two nuclei." 



On dead alders, South Carolina (Ravenel). 



In Grevillea XI, p. 129, this is referred to Hypoxylon, but if the 

 specimen of H. rufo-viridis, B. & Rav., in Rav. Car. fasc. V. No. 53, 

 is the same as H. viridi-rufa, B. & Rav*., in Grev. 1. c, the stroma is 

 not carbonaceous (as it should be in Hypoxylon), but carnose. The 

 specimen referred to is, in our copy, without fruit apparently im- 

 mature. 



H. solenostoma, B. & Rav. Grev. IV, p. 14. 



" Subglobose, pale rufous, rather irregular. Ostiola cylindrical, 

 elongated. Sporidia globose, 4 /i diam." 



On decaying Pachyma cocox, Schw., Carolina. 



B. Stroma pulrinate, sporidia colored. 



H. gelatinosa (Tode).

Stromata gregarious, superficial, pulvinate, or subhemispherical. 

 carnose, soft, punctate from the slightly prominent ostiola, l|-3 mm. 

 in diam. at first with a thin, light-colored tomentum at the base, pale, 

 becoming yellowish or at length greenish, whitish within, subrugose, 

 and partially collapsing when dry. Asci cylindrical, contracted into 

 a short pedicel at the base, 80-90 x 3J-4J p, 8-spored. Sporidia com- 

 posed of two unequal cells, the upper nearly spherical (4 //), the lower 

 ellipsoid, or ovoid, (3 p.), yellowish. Probably common throughout. 

 Var. viridis (Tode) is reported by Peck on maple chips, New York 

 State. 



On rotten wood (Carya cfec), South Carolina (Ravenel), Penn- 

 sylvania (Everhart), Connecticut (Thaxter). The stroma is at first of 

 a yellowish-horn-color, becoming dirty-yellowish and dusted with the 

 greenish sporidia (brownish-yellow under the microscope). 



H. chlorospora, B. & C. Grev. IV, p. 14. 



Stromata small, greenish-black, nearly round, sessile, convex, 

 (1-1 \ fx), roughened by the rather prominent ostiola, Asci narrow-cylin- 

 drical, about 75x4 /i, with eight two-celled sporidia, each cell subcu- 

 bical or nearly globose, of an olivaceous color and 3-3| /i in diam. 



On decaying bark. Newfield, N. J. also reported from New York.
