Stevens & Dalbey: New Porto Rican Fungi

mens examined independently they might not be placed in even 

 the same genus. Here the typical Penicillium-likQ branching is 

 rare, the conidiophores are longer (340 /x) and more attenuate, 

 more lax, and typically show lateral sporiferous branches. 



MiCROCLAVA Stev. 

 Microclava Coccolobiae sp. nov. 

 Fig. 10 



Mycelium internal, pale to brown. Conidiophores simple, 

 about 70 /A high, 3 fi thick at base ; stipe usually unicellular, upper 

 part broadening gradually to 8 /x in thickness, and consisting of 

 three superimposed cells. 



On Coccoloba diversifolia, Maricoa, SSyy (type). 



Wageria gen. nov. 



Mycelium dark, superficial, with hyphopodia. Perithecium 

 spherical, not ostiolate. Both typically perisporiaceous. Asci 

 8-spored. Spores dark, 2-celled. Perithecium with one or few 

 vermiform appendages. 



Type species, W. portoricensis. 



The genus is named in honor of Dr. Harold Wager, of Eng- 

 land. It differs from Dimerium Sacc. and Syd. in the possession 

 of the vermiform appendage. It differs from Phaeodimeriella 

 Th. and Acanthostigma in the absence of true setae. 



Wageria portoricensis sp. nov. 



Figs. II, 12 



Mycelium pale-brown, superficial, branching irregularly, 4 /x 

 thick. Hyphopodia numerous, averaging about 35 apart, irregu- 

 larly located, not opposite, nor regularly alternate, when young 

 nearly spherical, soon becoming quite irregular in outline, usual 

 diameter about 7/x, occasionally exceeding lO/x, usually with a 

 central clear spot probably indicating attachment. Perithecia 

 spherical, non-ostiolate, small, 47-55 ju, in diameter, with few asci 

 which mature successively, not simultaneously. Perithecia with 

 1-3, usually I, coiled, vermiform appendages, dark, 40-80 X y ix. 

 Asci irregular in shape, 8-spored, inordinate. Spores 2-celled, 

 obtuse, dark, 21 X 6-7 /x.
