septate, scarcely constricted, pale brown, 22x6 //. 

 On Phormium, California (Harkness). 



L. folliculata, E. & E. Proc. Phil. Acad. July, 1890, p. 237. 



On pale white, elliptical spots 2-4x1-1 J mm. Perithecia bur- 

 ied in the substance of the leaf with their apices slightly prominent, 

 few on a spot (1-6), small 60-75 /i diam. Asci clavate-cylindrical, 

 50 x 10-12 /i. Sporidia biseriate, oblong or clavate-oblong, 2-septate 

 and slightly constricted at the septa, 12-15 x 3 /i, yellowish-brown, 

 ends obtuse. Differs from the other species on Carex in its distinct 

 spots and smaller sporidia. 



On leaves of Carex folliculata, London, Canada (Dearness). 



L. Corallorhizae, Pk. 38th Rep. p. 105. 



Perithecia scattered, subcuticular, 1 12-125 fi diam, pierced above, 

 raising the epidermis in a papilliform manner so that the stem is 

 slightly roughened. Asci abundant, oblong-cylindrical, 75-80 x 15 /i, 

 paraphysate. Sporidia biseriate, fusoid, curved, subhyaline, nucleate, 

 then uniseptate. becoming 3-septate and constricted at the middle sep- 

 tum, 24-27x4-5 ft. 



On dead stems of Corallorhiza, Caroga, N. Y. (Peck), London, 

 Canada (Dearness). 



The diagnosis is drawn from the Canada specimens, which were 

 not fully mature, but there seems no doubt that they represent the 

 species described by Peck.

Culmicolous. Perithecia scattered or subgregarious on dark-col-
