abundant, 600-700 x 11 p, dark, opaque, Gees above to 
cells ae in M7. Con ear asci usually 2-spored, evanes- 
cent; ascospores 4-septate, constricted, broadly cylindrical, 
obtuse, dark fuscous, 50-55 x 18-22 4.

It forms conspicuous black velvety patches, and is well 
marked by the thick opaque mycelial threads, the abundant, 
long, densely opaque, slightly forked setae, the peculiar 
roughening of the surface of the perithecium and the large 
dark spores. 
Meliola Psychotriae sp. nov. 
Amphigenous but mostly ep phylious, forming small black 
orbicular patches 1-34 in diameter; mycelium abundant, 
threads fuscous, 7-8 p thick, cells 25-35 p long; capitate hy- 
phopodia alternate, usually closely appressed to the mycelial 
thread, about 25 x 10-11 4, basal cell 7-8 # long, head cell 
regularly elliptical; mucronate hyphopodia opposite, 16~—20 # 
long, subconical or the base slightly swollen, often curved, 
apex truncate ; setae frequent, erect, 250-300 x 8 p, tapering 
upward but obtuse, apex paler; perithecia small, 125-150 p, 
subcollapsing, of small, compact ineegulat cells 7-8 ww in 
diameter; asci elliptical, 2-spore ascospores 4-septate, 
elliptical, constricted, pale fuscous, ends narrowed but obtuse, 
about 35 x 13-14 4.

This is perhaps nearest to IZ. amécgua Pat. & Gaill., but 
differs in the more slender mycelium and setae, the much 
smaller perithecia and the different characters of the hypho- 
podia and the broader more elliptical spores. 
Meliola Thouiniae sp. nov. 
Epiphyllous, forming thin blackish patches 3-6 mm 
diameter, often effused and indeterminate; mycelial: ees
