Fig. 598 AND 599. — Glenospova khartoumensis Chalmers and Archibald : 



Aleuriospores. 



A. Aleuriospores large, usually measuring 10 or more microns in dia- 



meter : — 



Parasitic on plants — (i) Curtisii, (2) Ramorum. 



B. Aleuriospores medium, measuring 6-8-9-11 microns — (3) Sacchari.

 (5) Graphii. 



II. Parasitic in man, causing black maduromycosis: — 



[a) Growth on clear maltose agar twelve days, uncapped tube 

 at 30° C. Central black rounded mass surrounded by an 

 abundant white fringe — (6) Semoni (in India). 

 [h) Growth in exactly same conditions as in [a) . Central series 

 of small elevations from which radiate furrows cutting in 

 black plateau. Fringe very slightly marked — (7) Khar- 

 toumensis (in Africa). 



Glenospora graphii Siebenmann, 1889. 



Synonyms. — Graphium penicillioides Hallier, 1869; Stemphylium 

 polymorphuM Hallier, 1869; Verticillium graphii Siebenmann, 1889; 

 Glenospora praphii Vuillemin, 1912. 



Definition.— Glenospora with aleuriospores large, 10 or more 

 microns in diameter. 



Mycelium at first white, later dark brownish. The filaments are 

 septated, 2 to 3 ^ in breadth, ramified. Fertile hyphae are erected, 

 often dichotomous or trichotomous, with terminal conidia, which 

 are ovoid with a smooth surface, and of a gre3dsh-brownish colour. 

 It is easily grown on the usual laboratory media; gelatine is not 

 liquefied. This fungus has been found in cases of otomycosis by 

 Hassestein, Bezold, Siebenmann, etc., and in a case of keratomycosis 

 by Morax and Pinoy.
