CALONECTRIA ERUBESCENS (Rob.) Sacc. 
On Meliola bicornis Wint. on Meibomia supina, 5820, Adjuntas. On 
Meliola tortuosa Wint. on Piper umbellatum, 5692, Jajome Alto. On Meliola 
cupaniae Stev. on Cupania americana, 9318, Mayaguez. 
Calonectria graminicola, sp. nov.—Mycelium growing over the 
Meliola and covering it with a white coat, usually coextensive with 
the Meliola. Perithecia few to numerous, reddish, pale when dry, 
globose, 200-225 y, cells irregular, 10-18 windiameter. Perithecial 
setae rather numerous, tapering regularly to an obtuse apex, not 
septate, base not bulbous although swollen slightly just above 
attachment, 75 ulong, 15 u wide at base. Asci numerous, 8-spored; 
75X7-8 pw, cylindrical; paraphyses threadlike, abundant. Spores 
3-septate when mature, hyaline to pale straw colored, straight, 
curved or sigmoid, acute at each end, 30-365 yu. 
On Meliola panici Earle on Lasiacis compacta, 4663 (type), Utuado; on 
Lasiasis divaricata, 4298, Manati, 6796, Arecibo. On Meliola andirae E. on 
Andira jamaicensis, 5269, Manati. 
This fungus resembles C. melioloides Speg., but may readily be distin- 
guished by its non-septate setae and the shape of the spores. 
One of the Hypo- 
chreales, probably 
a Calonectria but 
immature and there- 
fore not determin- 
able, was profuse on 
Meliola toruloidea 
Stev. on Cassia quin- 
quadrangulata, 8394,
