soid or cylindrical, curved, pellucid, obsoletely septate, (rarely 

 elliptical and one-celled). Hyphae fasciculate, simple or 

 branched. 



Pionnotes, Pries, Summ. Veg., p. 481 ; Sacc, SylL, iv. 

 p. 726. 



Perhaps too closely allied to the genus Fusariv/m, and dis- 

 tinguished principally by the broadly effused, gelatinous 

 sporodochium that becomes rigid when dry. 



Pionnotes uda. Sacc. 



Broadly effused, tremelloid, dingy orange ; hyphae decum- 

 bent, sparingly branched, septate ; conidia elongated, curved, 

 3-5 septate, acute at both ends, orange, 40-50 x 5-6 /i.

Pionnotes Biasolettiana. Corda. 



Irregular or effused, fleshy-tremelloid, thick, reddish- 

 orange ; stroma floccose ; hyphae septate, simple or sparingly 

 branched, fasciculate; conidial stratum rather thick, gelati- 

 nous, orange-red, viscid; conidia fusiform, acute at both

Fusarium Biasolettianum, Corda. 



On rose branches. 



MICEOCEEA. Desm. 



Sporodochium conical or pulvinate, slender ; conidia nar- 

 rowly falciform, many-septate, borne at the tips of filiform 

 conidiophores. 



Mictocera, Desm., Ann. Sci. Nat., 1848, p. 359 ; Sacc, Syll., 

 iv. p. 727. 



Closely allied to Fusarium, but distinguished by the small, 

 horn-like sporodochium. 



Microcera coccophila. Desm.
