REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST I915 39 



Puccinia conii (Strauss) Fuckel, II, III. 

 On leaves of Conium maculatu m L. Eastport, Long 

 Island. Collected by Dr C. H. Peck, August. 



Ramularia cichorii Dearness & House, n. sp. 



Spots scattered, small, grayish brown, alike on both sides of the 

 leaf, bounded by usually 2 or 3 concentric ridges, 2-3 mm in 

 diameter; tufts epiphyllous, minute, scarcely visible in the absence 

 of sporules ; conidia hyaline, not numerous on the tufts, even, 

 continuous, 15-22 x 2^ ^. 



On living leaves of Cichorium intybus L. Evans Mills, 

 N. Y. July. Collected by Dr C. H. Peck. 



Scolescosporium coryli Dearness & House, n. sp. 



Spots arid, definitely narrow bordered, 2-3 mm broad; acervuli 

 epiphyllous, brown, irregular on the veinlets, hemispherical on the 

 flat surface of the leaf, 100-150 p; conidia four-celled, apical cell 

 hyaline, somewhat elongate, subacute, others smoky brown, the 

 basal one rounded; some of the spores curved, 12 x 5 fi. 



On languishing leaves of Corylus americana Walt. 

 Coleman's, N. Y. Collected by Dr C. H. Peck, October 3, 1908. 



Septoria cryptotaeniae Ell. & Rati 



On leaves of Deringa canadensis (L.) Kuntze. Fonda. 

 Collected by Dr C. H. Peck, June. 



Septoria mollisia Dearness & House, n. sp. 



The affected part of the leaf, often the whole leaf, sordid or 

 dull brown; pycnidia epiphyllous, waxy brown, punctate, very 

 numerous, evenly scattered, 50-150 ^ in diameter, widely open, 

 saucerlike, suggesting Mollisia or Belonopsis ; sporules straight, 

 continuous, long and very narrow, 35-65 (mostly 60) by .5— .75 /*. 



On leaves of Antennaria neodioica Greene and A . 

 canadensis Greene, collected by M. S. Baxter near Greece, 

 Monroe county, N. Y., May 1913. This species differs from 

 Septoria lanariae Fairm. in lacking definite, margined 

 spots and having longer, narrower sporules. 



It may be questioned whether the waxy appearing rim is a part 

 of a true pycnidial wall and whether the plant should not be called 

 a Cylindrosporium.
