 t. XIX fig. 1, in Trans. Americ. Philos. 

 Soc, Vol. IV, New Series, 1834) partly 

 being somewhat indistinct, partly difficult 

 of access^) we are here giving a new 

 figure of it. The fungus grows as 

 widely extended black covers on the 



band-like stem of a Bauhinia and is occuriing in two different forms:

 from a stroma being half-hidden under the periderm and formed as a 

 truncated cone {Exosporium-iovm) ; in other cases, however, occurs the
