Spots orbicular, yellow ; subiculum not thickened nor excavated ; 

 peridia small, slightly elevated, subcircinating, numerous, the margin 

 distinctly scalloped and reflexed ; spores subglobose, orange, becoming

On leaves of Viola cucidlata: Union, April 24, 4246. 



This seems to differ from ^K. viola 1 in the leaf-spots not 

 being thickened, in the secidia and spores, and in the presence 

 of spermagonia. Specimens from Professor Trelease, labelled 

 JE. Petersii, B. & C., on Viola delphinifolium, cannot be distin- 

 guished from the species described above and earlier named by 

 Peck. 



M. hibisciatum, Schw. 



Hypophyllous. Spots usually few, large, thickened, defi- 

 nite, brown with a yellow border; peridia mostly densely 

 crowded, sometimes irregularly circinate, subimmersed; spores 

 broadly oval, about 18 by 37 A*. 



Spots orbicular, yellowish, confluent ; peridia irregularly but dense- 

 ly scattered, slender, yellow; spores not compact but loose, yellowish.

 low, scarcely thickened; aecidia circinating, small, short, deeply 

 and rather finely split and much recurved; spores subglobose,
