60 Twenty-third Report on the State Cabinet. 



On leaves of the mandrake, Podophyllwrn peltatum. Betli- 

 lehem. June. 



The spots occur most often at or near the base of the leaf 

 lobes, where they are frequently confluent. 



.^ciDiuM PUSTULATUM Cwtis in lit., n. sp. 



Spots small, yellowish, sometimes stained with red, thick- 

 ened, often concave above, convex below ; peridia short, sub- 

 crowded, often forming a circle about a free central space ; 

 spores pale orange, subglobose, -rhs' — tsVit' ^^ diameter. 



On leaves of toad flax, Comandra umhellata. Center. June. 



iEciDIU3I (EXOTHEK^ 71. Sp. 



SjDots orbicular, scarcely thickened, reddish purple, some- 

 times stained with yellow ; peridia short, crowded, generally 

 with a small free central space ; sjDores pale orange, subglo- 

 bose, small, TToVo' in diameter. 



On leaves of the evening primrose, (Enothera biennis. 

 Knowersville. June. 



Not unfrequently a reddish purple dash extends from the 

 spot to the margin of tlie Innf. The cups sometimes occur 

 sparingly on the upper surface of the leaf. The free central 

 space appears umbilicus-like, and, when present, is a notice- 

 able feature. 



^ciDiuM Myeicatum Scliio. 



Spots dark red, much thickened, scattered, very variable in 

 size and shape, often angular ; peridia short, subimmersed, 

 scattered or subcrowded ; spores very bright orange, subglo- 

 bose, large, tisW — -siTr' i^ diameter ; sperm ogonia on the upper 

 surface. 



On leaves of the wax-myrtle, Myrica cerifera. Eiverhead. 

 July. 



The white cups, filled with brilliant orange colored spores, 

 and sitting upon their dark red or chestnut colored bed, present 

 a beautiful apjDearance. A few cups sometimes occur on the 

 upper surface. Small spots with but two or three cups have the 

 subiculum distinctly tliickened. The species is related to ^ci- 

 dlum Berberidis, but is distinguished by its shorter cups and 

 larger spores. I have not found it growing on the petioles of the 

 leaves. After a considerable time the spores fade to a pale 

 yellow. 



^ciDiiTM LiMONii n. sp. 



This is a species closely related to the preceding one, occur- 

 ring in thickened spots on the leaves (and their midribs) of 

 Statice Livionmm, at Greenport. The cups occur upon both 

 surfaces of the leaf, but more sparingly on the upper surface.
