Asteroma tinctorium, Cke. 

 *Rav. Fung. Am. 523. 1881. 

 Cke. Grev. 12 : 25. d. Sept. 1883. 

 Sacc. Syll. 8 : 203. d. 15 Dec. 1884. 



Asteroma vagans, Desm. 

 *Barthol., Ell. & Ev. Fung. Columb. 2005. 20 March 1905. 



Asteroma venulosum, (Wallr.) Fckl. 

 Davis, J. J., Tr. Wis. Acad. 9: 166. 21 Aug. 1893. 



Asteroma vernieosum, (DC.) Fckl. 



NOTE. The specimen of Dothidea vernicosa, Fr. of the Schweinitz herba- 

 rium shows only undeveloped fungi and therefore it is uncertain whether the 

 Schweinitzian specimen is really the Asteroma vernicosum of (D C.) Fckl. 



Curtis. M. A., Bot. N. Car. 118. 1867. 



Dothidea vernicosa, Fr. . 

 S. Syn. Am. Bor. 232 no. 1900. 1834. 

 Cke. Grev. 18 : 44. Dec. 1884. 



Asteroma Xanthii, M. A. Curtis. 



NOTE. This manuscript name appears only in M. A. Curtis, Bot. N. 

 Car. 118 and there is no specimen of it in the Curtis herbarium. It is there- 

 fore impossible to say whether it could be the Asteroma Xanthii, D C. referred 

 by Cooke in Grev. to Puccinia Xanthii, S. 



Asterophora agarieieola, Cda. 



NOTE. This is the conidial form of Nyctatis lycoperdoldes, (Bull.) 

 Schrt. q. v. 



Asterophora agarieoides, Fr. 



NOTE. This is the conidial form of Nyctalis lycoperdoides, (Bull.) 

 Schrt. q. v. 



Asterophora effusa, S. 



NOTE. An examination of an authentic Schweinitzian specimen shows 

 that this is not an Asterophora in the proper sense. It appears to be one 

 of the conidial forms of Polyporus called Ptycogaster but the Schweinit/ian 

 material is not sufficient to enable one to say certainly what species it is. 



S. Syn. Am. Bor. 263 no. 2384. d. 1834. 

 Asterophora nucuum, Rav. 



NOTE. This is a misprint for Ascophora nucuum, Cda. q. v. 



Asterophora Pezizse, Cda. 



NOTE. This species of which the earlier name is Stephanoma strigosum, 

 Wallr. is the conidial form of a Hypomyces whose ascosporic condition has 

 not yet been found, as far as we know, in North America. It is the species 

 called by Tulasne, Carp. 3 : 52. 1865 Hypomyces Pezizce. For the coni- 

 dial stage alone the name should perhaps be Asterophora strigosa, (Wallr.)
