MICROSPHAERA FUL VOFULCRA, CKE. 



Prof. \Vm. R, Dudley, of Cornell University, in a recent communica - 

 tion called my attention to the fact, first detected by Miss Martha Merry, 

 a student in his laboratory, that the specimens distributed in the 

 .North American Fungi, no. 1323, under the above name are a Podosphcera, 

 probably P. minor, Howe, in Bull. Torr. Bot. Club. vol. V, p. 3. On 

 referring to specimens in my herbarium, sent me from California by Dr. 

 Harkness as Microsphcera fulvofiilcra, Cke., and which are presumably 

 the same as the specimens examined by Dr. Cooke and published by him 

 in Grev. vol. Y, p. 110, as M. fulvofulcra, Cke., I find they are the same 

 as the specimens distributed in N. A. F. under no. 1323, being in fact 

 not Microsphcera but PodospJicera, there being but a single ascus in each 

 sporangium. If, then, the specimens sent me by Dr. Harkness (on 

 Spiraea) are really the same as those described by Dr. Cooke in Grevillea, 

 then Microsphcera fulvofidcra, Cooke, will have to be cancelled. In any 

 case the N. A. F. specimens and those distributed by Dr. Winter in his 

 Exsiccati, no. 3045, are not a Microsphcera but a Fodosphcera and probably 

 P. minor, Howe. J. B. E.
