Report of the Botanist. 55 



Septoria destruens Desm. 



Leaves of mallows, Malva rotundifolia. New Baltimore. 

 Howe. West Albany. June. 



Septoria sanguinea Desm. 



Leaves of cherry trees. New Baltimore. Howe. River- 

 head. July. 



Septoria viride-tingens Curtis in lit. n. sp."^ 



Spots obscure, vague, confluent, mostly tinged with green ; 

 perithecia very abundant, minute, of a waxy appearance, dull 

 amber colored, rarely becoming black ; spores thread-like, 

 not septate, yimr'-wfr' long. 



On leaves of the wild leek. Allium tricoccum. Helderberg 

 Mts. May. 



The leaves attacked by this parasite turn yellow as if dying, 

 with a motling, in a confused manner, of a dull green. The 

 perithecia are more abundant on these greenish spots, but not at 

 all limited to them, for they occur upon nearly the whole of the 

 upper surface of the leaf and sparingly on the lower surface. 

 The larger spots often have an arid central space, either wholly 

 or partially retaining the greenish border. 



Stilbospora magna Berlc. 



Dead branches of ash trees. West Albany. June. 



Cytispoea carphosperma Fr. 



Fallen twigs of plum trees. New Baltimore. Howe. 



CONIOTHECIUM TORULOIDEUM B. & C. 



Dead branches of willows. Alban}-. May. 



Spiloc^a Pomi Fr. 



On apples. Common. 



ArEGMA MUCRONATUil Fr. 



Leaves of rose bushes. New Baltimore. Howe. Green 

 bush. October. 



The specimens of Dr. Howe, as well as those of my own col 

 lecting, have the spores 8 — 10-septate, not 5 — 7- septate, as de- 

 scribed. Still I hesitate to consider them any thing more than 

 an American variety of the species. 



Teiphragmium clavellosum BerJc. 



Leaves of sarsaparilla, Aralia nudicaulis. Jordanville and 

 North Elba. 



* This, and otlier names similarly referred, were given by Rev. M. A. Curtis, to 

 whom specimens were sent for identification ; but, having drawn up the descrip- 

 tions myself, I must be responsible for their accuracy.
