An ascomycete collected on the stem of one of the large Euphorbias ^ 
growing along the river bank of the Amanziintoti, appears to be an unde- 
scribed species of Gloniella. The ascospores are 15-septate ; I have therefore 
named the fungus Gloniella mtiltiseptata. 
Gloniella multiseptata Doidge n. sp. 
Peritheciis atris, carbonaceis, gregariis, erumpento - superficialibus 
linearibus-ellipsoideis, utrinque attenuatis, rotundatisque, rectis v. varie 
curvatis, 1-5 mm x •25-'3 mm., rima longitudinali tenuissima percursis ; 
ascis sub-clavatis v. cuneatis, rectis v. curvatis, paraphysatis, stipitatis, 
8-sporis, 80-87 x 17-20 /x; parapliysibus numerosis, linearibus, ascos 
superantibus ; sporidiis parallelis, anguste ellipsoideis v, sub-clavatis 
hyalinis, 15-septatis, rectis v. cub-clavatis 50-70 x 6-S fx.

Isariopsis griseola Sacc. 
This fungus, which is widely distributed in Europe, and which is 
reported from America as causing a leaf spot of the French bean (Phaseoliis 
vulgaris), recently made its appearance in some experimental plots ; it forms 
large dry brown areas on the leaves and causes them to drop prematurely. 
So far as I am aware this is the first time this fungus has been observed in 
S. Africa. It is chiefly interesting as one of the few plant parasites belong- 
ing to the group Stilbaceae, which consists for the most part of saprophytic 
and entomogenous fungi.
