1896. ] Some Species of the Genus Meliola. 227 
Meliola amphitricha Fr., on Persea, Gainesville, Florida, 
Fungi Amer. Exsic. xo. 82.—This is not a Meliola. Our 
specimen has no perithecia, but it is doubtless Asterina dtl- 
litescens E. & M. 
Meliola amphitricha Fr. var. palmarum Berk., on Phoenix 
dactylifera, Calcutta, India, Thiim. Mycotheca Universalis 
2155.—This is referred by Gaillard! to Meliola palmi- 
cola Wint. Our specimen while it agrees with the usual form 
of this species on Sabal in the long, often three-celled hypho- 
podia, does not show the divided tips of the sete. 
Meliola amphitricha Fr., on Sabal, Gainesville, Florida, 
Ravenel: F ungi Amer. Exsic. mo. 81.—This is Meliola palmi- 
cola Wint. 
Neliola camellia (Catt.) Sacc., on Camellia japonica, Italy, 
Briosi e Cavara no. r06,—This, like the other ‘‘sooty molds” 
following insect injuries, does not at all present the charac- 
ters of a true Meliola, and I quite agree with Gaillard?! in 
‘xcluding them. It is likely that all these true saprophytic 
forms should be referred to Capnodium, even if the ordinarily 
accepted definition of that genus has to be extended to include 
em ey form a natural group and so do the true Meli- 
las, but they have little in common. : 
Meliola Jurcata Lév., Ellis N. A. F. mo. 1297, (a) on Big- 
Nua capreolata, Florida, Dr. Martin; (4) on Gonolobus, 
North Carolina, Dr. Thos. F. Wood; (c) on Sadal serrulata, 
Florida, Dr. Martin. —Both (a) and (4) are Meliola bidentata 
Cke. Gonolobus is a new host for this species, but the aise 
vo agtees exactly with the description given by Gaillard 
ui as the specimens on Bignonia; (c) is Meliola Palmicola 
int, 
Meliolg urcata Lév. ienonia, Gainesville, Florida, Ra- 
Venel: te pad abe ages —This also is Meliola biden- 
x Woke, and is perfectly distinct from MM. furcata Lév. which 
> '€Ptesented in the herbarium by the N. Pacific Exploring 
wheewition specimen collected by Wright in Nicaragua, but 
a has not been found in the United States. < 
lola heteromeles (C. & H.), N. A. F. no. 1546. —Our speci 
ct wins to be all Capnodium. I find nothing to indicate 
0 af Meliola, Meliopsis or Zucalia, where it has been vari- 
usly Placed.
