262 WILSON--SOME FUNGI FROM TIBET. 
fusca; sporulis oblongis, inaequilateralibus vel subcurvulis, 
3-septatis, raro 4~5-septatis, ad septa paullo constrictis, castaneo- 
brunneis, ad apicem basemque cilio hyalino ad 35 longo 
praeditis, 23-26 x 7-8 (sine ciliis) loculis ultimis minoribus ; 
sporophoris simplicibus longitudine variabilis (ad 40), hyalinis, 
continuis. 
Hab. in foliis vivis Rhododendri calvescentis, Bali. f. et 
Forrest,” in S.E. dibet.. G, Borrest. No..14,331. July IQI7. 
The greyish-brown patches produced by this species on the 
upper. surface of the leaf are directly opposite the groups of 
aecidia of Aecidium sino-rhododendri on the lower surface, and 
it appears possible that Labridium Rhododendri can only infect 
the leaf where the resistance of the tissues has been lowered by 
the presence of the Aecidium. 
Only one other species of Labridium is known, L. hians, 
described by Vestergren in Sweden on Potentilla reptans.t 
In the present species many of the pycnidia are irregular in 
form and partly confluent (fig. 4), but other simple types 
occur (B’, fig. 4) which resemble those of L. hians described by 
Vestergren. The dehiscence by aslit-like opening is very marked 
(fig. 5), the lips opening when moist and closing when dried. 
The spores are considerably larger than those of L. hians, but 
are similar in form (fig. 6). In view of the close agreement in 
spore form, the irregularity of many of the fructifications cannot 
be considered a character of sufficient importance to justify the 
exclusion of this species from the genus Labridium.

The species has not been previously recorded on this host. 
Epichloe or he Pat. On a grass, probably Andropogon 
sp. around Tengyueh, Yunnan. Lat. 25° N., alt. 
a aatee nia No. 18,549. G. Forrest. Oct. 1919. 
First recorded by Patouillard { from Fac-Bin, Tonkin. As 
all the inflorescences are attacked and flower development. 
prevented, exact identification of the host species is impossible. 
All the glumes are enclosed by a hard black stroma which closely 
simulates Claviceps purpurea in appearance.
