Report of the State Botanist. Ill 



Dead branches and galls of oak, Quercus ilicifolia. Karner. 

 May. 



Apparently intermediate in character between M. dryina and 

 M. nerviseqim^ having spores like those of the former and peri- 

 thecia somewhat resembling those of the latter. 



Sphaeronema Lonicerae n. sp. 



Perithecia numerous, scattered uniformly, small, .009 to .012 in. 

 broad, at first covered by the epidermis, then erumpent, nar- 

 rowed above into a rostrum about as long as the diameter of the 

 perithecium, black ; spores numerous, elliptical or oblong, color- 

 less, .00016 to .0003 in. long, .00008 to .00012 broad, oozing out 

 in wet weather and forming a minute hyaline globule. 



Living stems of hairy honeysuckle, Lonicera hirsuta. Brown- 

 ville. June. 



This is easily distinguished from Sphferographium Lonicenp., 

 which has fusiform curved quadrinucleate spores. 



Septoria Trailiana Sacc. 

 Livino' leaves of self-heal, Brunella vulodris. Menands. 



August. 



Micropera Nemopanthis n. sp. 



Perithecia densely and prominently caespitose, minute, black, 

 opening on the application of moisture and revealing the whitish, 

 gelatinous contents ; spores subfiliform, curved or sigmoid, taper- 

 ing tow^ard each end, .OOIG to .0024 in. long ; sporophores short.* 



Dead branches of mountain holly, Nemopanthes Canadensis, 

 Karner. May. 



Gloeosporiuni Platani Oud. 



Living or languishing leaves of sycamore, Platanus occidentalis. 

 Shokan. September. 



This is quite distinct from G. neTviseiiuum^ both in habit and 

 in the size and color of the acervuli. 



Glosospormm phomoides Sacc. 

 Fruit' of tomato. Menands. September. 



Gloeosporiuni fructigenum Berk. 

 On grapes. Menands. September and October. 

 This is destructive to the fruit, causing it to decav.
