On leaves of Albizzia fastigiata, Inanda, Natal, May, 1881, Medley Wood (Wood 
No. 583) [9492] and [16445]; Winklespruit, Natal, 13.4.11 and 2.7.11, Pole Evans

Stromata usually hypophyllous, small, irregular elliptic or oval in outline, somewhat 
raised, dull black, 0-5 to 0-7 mm. in length, the long axis often lying along a vein or in 
small groups of 2-4. Stroma arising between the peridermal and the sub-epidermal cells, 
with its base at the level of the epidermis. Loculi, several, under a common, arched, 
epidermal clypeus, spherical to lenticular, 190-200 » diam. at maturity. Asci paraphysate, 
cylindrical, 80 u x 10-12 u, with a foot 15-18 u long. Spores distichous, colourless, four- 
celled, constricted at the middle, 20-244 x B-6 u. The asci do not stain blue with 
lodine. 
37. Scolecodothis capensis n. sp. 
On leaves of Olea (?) foveolata, Howiesons Poort, Grahamstown, 17.1.17, Doidge 
[10963]; 12.7.19, Doigde [12379]; Van Stadens Pass, 13.11.17, Doidge [10869]. 
Stromata amphigenous; the epiphyllous stromata develop first, they are scattered, 
round to irregular, 1-14 mm. diam., raised and convex above leaf surface, occasionally 
larger and irregular in shape by confluence, black and shining. Hypophyllous stromata 
smaller and flatter, and usually more or less undeveloped and sterile. The leaf tissue is 
not discoloured. Stroma between the epidermis and the palisade tissue. Clypeus epidermal, 
thick, opaque, 90-100 u thick. The inner part of the stroma consisting of lighter brown, 
prosenchymatous plectenchyma. Loculi 4-5 in each stroma, immersed, lenticular or 
somewhat irregular by compression, 550-650 uw diam., 200-250 » high. Asci paraphysate, 
eight-spored, narrow, ellipsoid, tapering to both ends, pedicellate, 100-120 u x 13-14 u. 
Spores parallel, hyaline, one-celled, narrow, fusiform, pointed at both ends, 60-70 u x 
5-6 u. in centre. 
Scolecodothis capensis Doidge, nov. sp. 
Stromata amphigena, sparsa, rotundata v. irregulares, 1-1} mm. diam., convexa, 
atra, nitidula. Loculi 4-5 in quoque stromate, 550-560 u diam., 200-250 vu. alti; clypeo 
opaco, aterrimo, 90-1004 crasso. Asci paraphysati, octosporo, anguste ellipsoidei, 
utrinque attenuati, pedicellati, 100-120 u x 18-14 u. Sporae parallelae, hyalinae, con- 
tinuae, fusoideae, 60-70 u x 5-6 u.

Stromata epiphyllous, minute, gregarious on irregular rusty-brown spots, 250-300 u 
in diam., unilocular; on the upper leaf surface round, punctiform, convex, shining; on 
the lower surface the epidermis becomes somewhat convex, and later the stroma becomes 
visible as a minute, dull-black point. Loculi occupying the whole thickness of the leaf, 
spherical, 250-300 vu. diam., with a short epidermal clypeus at the apex, the lateral and 
basal wall consisting of a weft of hyaline or yellowish threads; where the basal wall is
