Nectria ipomeae, Halst, Rep. N. Jersey. Agric. Expt. 

 St., 1891, p. 281, figs. Perithecia in little clusters, conico- 

 globose, acutely papillate, verrucosely squamulose, red; 

 asci cylindric-clavate, 8-spored; spores hyaline, cylindric- 

 oblong, i-septate, slightly constricted at the septum. 



A Fitsarium condition is present with this species. 



Nectria pandani, Tul., Fung. Carpol., iii. p. 71 (as a foot- 

 note). Perithecia crowded, globose-ovate, papillate, pallid ; 

 asci cylindrical , 80 x 6 /x ; spores monostichous, shortly 

 lanceolate, straight, 10X4 ft, i-septate. 



Often accompanied by a conidial form scarcely differing 

 from Acrostalagmus tinnabarinus, except in its pale colour. 

 The Nectria springs from pustules of Melanconium pan- 

 dani, Lev., of which it is suspected as being the ascigerous 

 condition.

 cal, 8-10 X 4*4 /A, i-septate, slightly constricted at the

Conidia cylindrical, ends rounded, 20-30 x 3 '3-4*4 /A, 

 borne on long conidiophores, forming dense tufts. 



Nectria goroshankiniana, Wahrl., Orchideenwurzelpilze, 

 p. n, f. 17, 22, 25. Perithecia solitary or 3-5, rarely 

 more, in a cluster, seated on a reddish-brown, well- 

 developed stroma, ovoid, apex subacute, deep red,
