(convex when moist), 14-34 mm. in diameter, the margin in- 
eurved when dry. Asci cylindrical, p.-sp. 50-55x4 u. Para- 
physes obscure. Sporidia uniseriate, oblong-elliptical, almost 
opaque, 6-8x3-4 u, resembling the sporidia of a Hypoxylon. 
The name Phenangium was first used by Saceardo as a sub- 
genus of Cenangium, embracing species with dark-colored 
spores. In Syll. XVI, p. 764, he gives Phenangium generic 
rank. Pheenangium Patouillard is entirely different; see Syll. 
XI, p. 442. 
Didymospheria cataline E. & E., n. sp. 
On dead stems of Artemesia californica, Avalon, Catalina 
Island, California, March, 1904. (C. F. Baker, No. 4041.) 
Perithecia scattered on the bleached stems, raising the epi- 
dermis directly over them into little black pustules about 14 
mm. in diameter, mostly slightly compressed laterally; ostiola 
papiuliform, minute, finally perforated. Asci cylindrical, short- 
stipitate, 90-100x12 u, with abundant paraphyses, slightly en- 
larged at the tips. Sporidia_uniseriate, oblong, hyaline at first, 
becoming pale brown, uniseptate and constricted in the middle, 
15-22x6-7 u. 
Allied to D. brunneola Niessl., but that species has much 
smaller (7-12x4-6 u) sporidia. 
“ON SAN JACINTO TRAILS. 
By. Blanche Trask. ” 
(Read before Section of Botany, April 18, 1905.) 
In the San Jacinto Mountains, last November, I was for- 
tunate in finding Kunoymus parishii growing luxuriantly in 
Fern Canyon; also in a canyon—or more properly gorge— 
which opens into Strawberry Valley from the east, presumably 
the habitat in which it was first found and to which Mr. Hall 
refers in his Bot. Sen., Page 93. It is in full growth just 
below the fall of a little stream which trickles over an exposed 
ledge of granite, which is a landmark from the opposite side 
of Strawberry Valley heights and facing Lily Rock; it is the 
first gorge to the left. 
The shrubs are from four to ten feet tall and there were no 
fresh flowers, while the leaves had mostly fallen. It could be 
distinguished at a distance by the long wand-like bunches of 
bare stems rising hke a smoke from the bed of the stream, 
otherwise easily confounded with the Rhododendron which 
abounds and in many places fills these arroyos. 
The fruit of Euonymus parishii is exquisitely beautiful, with 
the persistent white waxy petals open like a bud about the 
gay scarlet anilate seeds; capsule 2-3 lobed and one or two 
seeds in each cell; the third lobe very often abortive.
