Vermicularia pomicola n. sp. 



Perithecia gregarious, hemispheric or subglobose, bristly with 

 numerous subulate black erect or divergent setae, 120-280 ,a long, 

 7-8 tJ. broad ; spores straight or slightly curved, pointed at each end, 

 25-35 /^- long, 4-5 // broad. 



On apples lying on the ground. New Lebanon. September. 



Spores longer than in Vermicularia pomona Sacc. 

 which occurs on appletree leaves and is considered a variety of 

 V . t r i c h e 1 1 a Fr. 



Perithecia gregaria, hemisphaerica subglobosave, setis numer- 

 osis subulatis, atris, erectis divergentibusve ornata, 120-280 x 7-8/^-; 

 sporae rectae vel leviter curvae, utrinque acutae, 25-35 x 4-5 ,a. 



Verticillium agaricinum (Lk.) Cd. 



On F 1 a m m u 1 a s q u a 1 i d a Pk. Thompsons lake, Albany 

 CO. September. The parasite forms a thin whitish pruinosity on 

 the surface of the deformed pileus. It occurs also on the pileus 

 ofTricholoma russula (Schaeff.) Fr. at Pittsford, Mon- 

 roe CO. September. F. S. Boughton. The spores of the parasite 

 are very variable, 6-12 //long and 4-5 />■ broad. The mycelium 

 causes the pileus to become enlarged, irregular or deformed and 

 the lamellae to become irregular and sometimes branched or even 

 anastomosing and discolored. It is perhaps the conidial stage of 

 some species of Hypomyces. 



Viburnum venosum Britton 



Orient Point. July. R. Latham. The species is well named, 

 the veins of the leaves being very prominent and conspicuous on 

 the lower surface. 



Vicia villosa Roth 



Canton, St Lawrence co. June. G. H. Chadwick. Introduced 

 and cultivated for fodder, but escaping from cultivation and mani- 

 festing a tendency to become naturalized. The flowers are com- 

 monly blue and resemble those of Vicia c r a c c a L. but a 

 white flowered form occurs.
