 (See second paper, p. 21.) After inoculation tests, the damping- 

 off of poppy seedlings is proved to have been caused by the same 

 fungus. This trouble was found by the author in nurseries of 

 southern Formosa. 



Fusicladium theae K. Hara sp. nov. in Chagyokawi (Tea Jour- 

 nal) 14 4 : 16-17, 1 pi. T. 8, iv, Apr., 1919. (Japanese.) 



Acervuli amphigenous, velvety, black ; conidiophores filiform, 

 straight or curved, thickened at the base, continuous to 3-septate, 

 brownish at the lower part, light colored and often crooked at the 

 upper part 40-70 x 4-5 ft ; conidia terminal, occasionally arising 

 from the crooked edges of conidiphores, cylindric or oblongovate, 

 uniseptate almost at the middle, usually not constricted though 

 sometimes constricted, blunt at the apex, somewhat pointed at 

 the base, straight or curved, colorless or flavescent, 1 5-28 x 5-6 fi. 



On leaves of Thea sinensis. 



Type locality : Shidzuoka-ken Iwara-gun Kjiro-cho, Nov. 27,

Illustrations: 2 black and white halftone figures (figs. 8 and 9) 

 showing tufts of conidiphores and conidia. 



No Fusicladium has been reported on tea plant. This species 

 is distinct from all known species by its almost colorless conidia.

 black, globose or depressed globose, 50-150//, in diam.; well car- 

 bonaceous, fungoid-parenchymatous, dark-colored, composed of 

 polygonal cells, 3-8 \l across ; ostiola papillate or wart-like, with 

 orbicular openings 10-13 /x across; asci tufted, cylindric clavate 

 or oblongovoid, rounded at the apex, pedicellate at the base, 

 octosporous, 30-42x6-8^; ascospores biseriate, oblong-ovoid or 

 cylindric, both ends subobtuse, uniseptate, not constricted, cells 

 unequal, upper ones being slightly shorter and broader, lower
