194. S. (Depazea) concava, n. s. Maculis subrotundis, ex- 
cavatis, cervinis, margine fusco; peritheciis subcentralibus, 
tenerrimis, fuscellis, ostiolo brevissimo, ore rotundo ; gelatina 
subcirrhosé; sporis oblongis, uniseptatis, medio contractis. 
On pods of the garden pea, and occasionally on the leaves 
and petals. King’s Cliffe. It was also pointed out to me by 
Captain Carmichael at Appin in 1824. 
Very destructive in damp seasons to peas, in the pods of 
which it forms little round fawn-coloured pits studded in the 
centre with the short subcirrhiform masses of the spores. The 
plant is just the same on the leaves, except that in conse- 
quence of their less succulent nature the depression is not so 
evident. On the petals there are no spots, but merely scat- 
tered perithecia, especially upon the veins. Perithecia very 
delicate, but certainly present. Spores oblong, contracted in 
the middle, uniseptate, with occasionally a single nucleus in 
each cell. Other forms, arising from the total or partial sup- 
pression or elongation of one of the cells, will be seen in the 
figure. 
a XI. fig. 3. a, perithecium from petal; 6, spores. Both highly mag- 
nified.

On Convolvulus arvensis. King’s Cliffe. This species has 
been communicated to correspondents under the name of S.

There is no doubt that my plant and that of Corda are 
the same, though their habitats are so very different. I find 
it, however, not only on decayed Ag. adustus, but also on 
nettle roots. I do not know which name has the priority, mine 
or Corda’s. But as the preface of M. Corda’s Fasciculus is 
dated Aug. 1836, although not published till 1837, in which 
year also my paper appeared, it will be better at once to adopt 
Corda’s name, especially as it is very descriptive.

Mont. Ann. des Sc. Nat. n. s. 1. p. 344. Common on leaves 
of Yucca. ‘This plant has been communicated to correspond- 
ents under the name of P. circinans. I have, however, spe- 
cimens from M. Desmaziéres under the name adopted above, 
and under which it is possibly already published*. It is a true
