422 BOTANICAL GAZETTE [NOVEMBER 
On coriaceous leaves, Myrsine (?), Apiahy, May 1888; no. 2382 
(type). 
The type specimen is heavily overgrown with several parasites. There 
is considerable variation in the character of the mycelium, which is sometimes 
straight, sometimes quite crooked. I have not been able to see the mycelial 
setae around the bases of the perithecia from which this species takes it name. 
MELIOLA ARGENTINA Speg. (fig. 2).—Fung. Arg., Pug. I, no. 177; 
Sacc. 1:61. 
On Cyperaceae, Buenos Aires, February 1880 (type). 
The mycelium is very characteristic, close, dense, somewhat like M. manca, 
but distinguished by its very thick mycelial setae, which are striking, being 
darker and thicker than the mycelium. They are about 15 pw thick at base and 
over 800» long. The capitate hyphopodia are angular, that is, not smooth or 
echinulate as shown in fig. 2. The type is heavily overgrown by a Conto- 
thyrium. 
MELIOLA BRASILIENSIS Speg. (fig. 3).—Fung. Arg., Pug. IV, 
No... 116+. Sace. 1566 
On leaves of Bignoniaceae (?), Apiahy; no. 1551. (type). 
The young perithecia are surrounded by an areola of- radiating hyphae. 
The perithecia also possess short hairs as figured and described by Dr. SPEGAZ- 
ZINI. 
MELIOLA CALVA Speg. (fig. 4).—F. Puigg., Pug. I, no. 233; 
Sacc. 9:414. 
On Laurinaceae, Apiahy, August 1881 (type). 
Heavily overgrown with “ Podosporium penicillium Speg.”’ 
MELIOLA CLAVATISPORA Speg. (fig. 5).—F. Puigg., Pug. 1, 
no. 241; Sacc. 92422. 
On leaves of Apocynaceae, Apiahy, April 1881; no. 1701 (type). 
Perhaps the most striking character is in the sessile, nearly globular 
capitate hyphopodia. 
MELIOLA CORONATA Shee. (fig. 6).—F. Guar., Pug. I, no. 175; 
Sacc. 9:428. 
On Luchea divaricata, Guarapi, July 1883; no. 3847 (type). 
The figure shows perithecial hairs to be more conspicuous than they 
usually are.
