Perithecia scattered, growing under the bark and attached to it, 

 so that when the bark is peeled off, they come with it, globose, J mm. 

 diam., collapsing below. Ostiola papilliform, bai'ely piercing the 

 cuticle and only slightly raising it. Asci clavate-cylindrical, with 

 abundant paraphyses, 65-70x7-9 //. Sporidia biseriate, oblong- 

 elliptical, 2-nucleate, 12-15x3^ //, becoming ovata-oblong and uni- 

 septate. 



On dead stems o{ Anc/elica atropurpnrea, Londpn, Canada. 



Judging from the specimens in F. Eur. and F. G., this is different 

 from S. iiiAella, Niessl.

Epiphyllous on dark brown, (3-4 mm.), concentrically wi'inkled 

 spots with a distinct, raised border. Perithecia erumpent, subglobose, 

 120-150 fjL diam., of coarse, cellular structure. Asci oblong, sessile, 

 40-75x12-14 fi. Sporidia biseriate, ovate-oblong, uniseptate and 

 constricted, 14-15 x 5 /«, ends obtuse.

Perithecia gregarious, 100-125 [i diam., covered by the cinereous 

 cuticle, which is scarcely ruptured over them. Asci subovate, 22-25 

 X 12-15 [I. Sporidia crowded, oblong-clavate, uniseptate, constricted 

 at the septum, subhyaline, 10-12 x 3|-4 [i.

S. smilacina, E. & E. Journ. Mycol. II, p. 101. 



Perithecia scattered, depressed-globose, 165 /i diam., covered by 

 the cuticle, which is blackened directly over them and barely pierced 

 by the minute ostiola. Asci oblong, sessile, about 35 x 7 /i. Sporidia 

 biseriate or crowded, hyaline, fusiform-oblong or clavate-oblong, uni- 

 septate, 8-11 X 2| (1. The pycnidial perithecia are entirely similar to 

 the ascigerous perithecia, only a little more prominent and mostly on 

 bleached stems, and contain stylospores oblong or elliptical-oblong, 

 hyaline, 2-nucleate, uniseptate and slightly constricted, 7-8 x 3-3^ fi.
