28 Annual Report of the State Botanist. 



Epicoccum vulgare Gd. 



Living or languishing leaves of arrowhead, Sagittaria variabilis. 

 Carrollton, September. Our specimens belong to var. pallescens 

 Rabenh. 



Epicoccum diversisporum Preuss. 



Decorticated wood of spruce. Wilmurt lake. July. Notwith- 

 standing the great diversity between the habitat of our fungus and 

 of the typical form of the species to which we have referred it, the 

 agreement with the description is so close that we dare not separate 

 our plant. The spores in it vary from .0003 to .0008 in. in diameter. 

 Rarely it is not seated on a red spot. It grows in company with 

 Cladosporium entoxylinum. 



Valsa microstoma Fr. 



Branches of wild red cherry, Prunus Pennsylvanica. Hev/itt's 

 pond, Adirondack mountains. July. 



Valsa cooperta Gke. 

 Dead branches of elm, Ulmus Americana. Sandlake. June. 



Eutypella cerviculata Sacc. 



Dead trunks and branches of water beech, Carpinus Americana. 

 Lyndonville. Fairman. Carrollton and Bethlehem. September. 



Diaporthe binoculata Sacc. 



Dead branches of cucumber tree, Magnolia acuminata. CarrolJ- 

 ton. September. 



Our specimens differ from the description of D. binoculata in the 

 black circumscribing line which sometimes penetrates the wood 

 slightly. The spores also are a little smaller than the dimensions 

 given for those of that species, but in other respects the agreement 

 is so well sustained that our plant is probably not specifically dis- 

 tinct. The spores in it are .0006 to ,0007 in. long, about .0003 broad. 

 It is sometimes associated with Sphceronema Magnolice. The typical 

 form was found on Magnolia glauca. It is Valsa binoculata Ellis. 



Diaporthe tuberculosa Sacc. 



Dead trunk of June berry, Amelancliier Canadensis. Carrollton. 

 September. 



Yar. dispersa. Perithecia .02 to .025 in. broad, a little larger than 

 in the type, the ostiola often piercing the epidermis separately.
