blackish-brown; spores ellipsoid or oblong, rounded at both 
ends, not thickened above, hardly constricted, obscurely reticu- 
lated, golden-brown, then chestnut, 40—60 x 25—29 w; pedicels 
hyaline, short, thick, deciduous ; mesospores also occur. 
On Jonquil and Narcissus poeticus. Very rare; Malpas, 
May, 1889 (Rev. C. Wolley-Dod); in Gard. Chron. and Journ. 
Roy. Hort. Soc. (/.c.) it is stated to have been found also on the 
“common double Narcissus” (? N. telamonius plenus). There 
are some specimens in Herb. Brit. Mus. on daffodil leaves, sent 
to the Gard. Chron. by a correspondent, May, 1894, and labelled 
P. Lnliacearwm by Cooke, which on examination prove to be 
this species. (Fig. 179.)
