Specimens distributed in Ravenel's Fungi Car Exsic. 57 and 

 Ellis' N. Am. Fungi 1333, both of which have been incorrectly 

 referred to this name, are apparently good specimens of Sphaero- 

 stilbe coccophila (Desm.) Tul. The type of the present species 

 has not been seen. 



Nectria infusaria Cooke & Hark. Grevillea 12 : 101. 1884. 



Stroma (Fusarium) pulvinate, pale red; conidia curved, 3- 

 septate, hyaline, 30-40 X 2.5 mic. ; perithecia cespitose, erumpent, 

 pallid-red, few in number, soft-membranaceous, subconfluent, 

 smooth, 5-10 on a stroma; asci cylindrical, 8-spored ; spores 1- 

 seriate, elliptical, i-septate, not constricted, hyaline, 10 X 4~5 mic. 



On Acacia twigs, California. No specimen has been seen. 



Nectria Ipomoeae Halst. Rep. N. Jersey Agric. Exp. Sta. 12 : 

 281. 1891. 



Conidial phase consisting of a Fusarium; perithecia cespitose, 

 globose-conical, verrucose-squamulose, red ; asci clavate, 8-spored ; 

 spores elliptical, i-septate, slightly constricted, hyaline. 



On roots and stems of eggplant. 



A note from Mr. Halsted states that the type of this species 

 was probably destroyed. The species seems to be well character- 

 ized although no specimens in good condition have been available 

 for examination. 



Nectria Bainii Massee, Bull. Royal Gardens Kew 1899: 5. 1901. 



Perithecia gregarious, seated on a yellowish-red or orange- 

 colored mycelium, globose, red, hairy, finally naked above, 300- 

 350 mic. in diameter; asci clavate-cylindrical, shortly stipitate, 

 8-spored, 80-90 X 7~9 rnic. ; spores partially 2-seriate, oblong- 

 elliptical or subacute, i-septate, 10-12 X 5 mic, hyaline. 



Parasitic on cacao pods, Trinidad. 



A cotype specimen of this species from Kew is too minute to 

 permit fair examination. 



Nectria ditissima Tul. Fung. Carp. 3 : 73. 1865. 



American specimens referred to this name do not differ so far 

 as we can see from Nectria coccinea (Pers.) Fries. 



Nectria citisporina Ellis & Everh. Erythea 1 : 197. 1893. 



Nectria microspora Cooke & Ellis, Grevillea 5: 53. 1876.
