  groups 
  or

  Common 
  saltwort, 
  Salicomia

  Syracuse. 
  September. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  is 
  remarkable 
  for 
  the 
  large 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  spores 
  and 
  their 
  

   clustered 
  mode 
  of 
  growth.

  albiceps.

  The 
  stems 
  of 
  the 
  fungus 
  are 
  composed 
  of 
  compacted 
  filaments, 
  

   and 
  I 
  have 
  followed 
  the 
  English 
  mycologists 
  in 
  referring 
  the 
  species 
  

   to 
  the 
  genus 
  Periconia. 
  It 
  is 
  Sporocybe 
  of 
  Bonorden. 
  

  

  Gonatobotryum 
  tenellum. 
  

  

  Patches 
  thinly 
  effused, 
  subolivaceous 
  ; 
  flocci 
  subtufted, 
  erect, 
  slen- 
  

   der, 
  simple 
  or 
  rarely 
  branched, 
  not 
  nodulose-inflated, 
  septate, 
  brown, 
  

   .006 
  to 
  .014 
  in. 
  high; 
  spores 
  in 
  verticels 
  of 
  2 
  to 
  4 
  at 
  the 
  septa, 
  

   oblong, 
  simple, 
  subfuliginous, 
  .00045 
  to 
  .0005 
  in. 
  long, 
  .00016 
  to 
  

   .0002 
  broad. 
  

  

  Dead 
  stems 
  of 
  stoneroot, 
  Collinsonia 
  Canadensis. 
  North 
  Green- 
  

   bush. 
  October. 
  

  

  By 
  reason 
  of 
  the 
  equal, 
  not 
  nodulose, 
  flocci 
  the 
  species 
  does 
  not 
  

   well 
  agree 
  with 
  the 
  character 
  of 
  the 
  genus. 
  Because 
  of 
  the 
  colored 
  

   flocci 
  it 
  would 
  go 
  no 
  better 
  in 
  Arthrinium. 
  

  

  Ramularia 
  effusa. 
  

  

  Hypophyllous, 
  often 
  occupying 
  the 
  whole 
  lower 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  

   leaf, 
  whitish 
  ; 
  spores 
  very 
  variable, 
  globose, 
  obovate-elliptical, 
  ob- 
  

   long 
  or 
  cylindrical, 
  .00016 
  to 
  .0011 
  in. 
  long, 
  .00016 
  to 
  .0002 
  broad, 
  

   sometimes 
  uniseptate. 
  

  

  Living 
  leaves 
  of 
  black 
  huckleberry, 
  Gaylussacia 
  resinosa. 
  Karner. 
  

   July. 
  

  

  Sometimes 
  all 
  the 
  leaves 
  on 
  a 
  branch 
  have 
  the 
  lower 
  surface 
  

   whitened 
  by 
  this 
  fungus. 
  

  

  Ramularia 
  albomaculata. 
  

  

  Spots 
  suborbicular, 
  2 
  to 
  3 
  lines 
  in 
  diameter, 
  sometimes 
  conflu-

  pale 
  yellowish-green 
  on 
  the
