On Xymalos monospora, Kentani, 3.3.15, Pegler (Pegler No. 1999) [8866]; Zwartkop, 
near Maritzburg, Natal, 19.7.18, Doidge [11598].

This fungus is very similar in appearance to the species on Carissa, from which it 
differs chiefly 3 in the size and form on the asci and spores; the latter are three to four 
septate, but usually four-septate when mature.

Fungi belonging to this group appear to be very common in many localities, particularly 
in the neighbourhood of Kast London ; but, although material has been collected at different 
seasons of the vear, only the two species described above have been found with mature ascl. 
Immature fungi belonging to the T'richopeltaceue have been collected near East London 
and elsewhere on the following hosts: Acokanthera spectabilis, Behmaa recticulata, Buxus 
MacOwam, Chaetacme aristata, Elaeodendron capense, Elaeodendron croceum, Eugenia sp. 
Putterlichia pyracantha, Rhoicissus rhomboidea, Toddalia natalensis, Trichocladus ellipticus, 
Umtisa Listeriana.
