NEW BRITISH FUNGI. 
var. Axnelanchieris . Sporules # 005-'006 mm. long. 
On Amelanchier. Kew. 
Coniothyrium cassieecolum, Cooke. 
Perithecia gregarious, globose, covered with the thin cuticle, 
prominent, at length often free, brown, irregular in size. Sporules 
oval, unicellular, without nucleus, pellucid, pale brown (*006 X *004 
mm.). 
On stems of Cassia marylandica. Kew. 
Diplodina ammophilae, Trail in Scot . Nat. i. 76. 
Perithecia scattered in the spaces between the nerves, oval, 
opening by a slightly papillate ostiolum on back of leaf, dark. 
Sporules hyaline, broadly fusiform ('03-*012 mm.), uniseptate ; 
cells very distinctly outlined. Each end of the spore bears a short 
mucoid appendage, or papilla. 
On dead leaves of Ammophila arundinacea. Aberdeen. 
Diplodia Coryphee, Cooke. 
Immersed, erumpent, cracking the cuticle in linear longitudinal 
fissures. Perithecia small, black, covered. Sporules subglobose, 
or oval, not constricted, uniseptate, with a thin epispore, pale fuli- 
ginous ('014--017 x *01). 
On petioles of fan palms. Kew. 
Diplodia inconspicua, Cooke. 
Hypophyllous. Perithecia minute, immersed, inconspicuous, 
gregarious, over the whole under surface of the leaf, covered by the 
cuticle, which is not discoloured. Sporules elliptical, not con- 
stricted, uniseptate, pale brown (’012 x ‘006 mm.). 
On dead leaves of Buxus sempervirens. Kew. 
Very different from D. Buxi. Difficult to distinguish, as the 
cuticle is hardly elevated and but slightly darker over the minute 
perithecia, which latter are about one-tenth of a millemetre in 
diameter. 
Diplodia genistarum, Cooke. 
Somewhat scattered. Perithecia immersed in the bark, covered 
by the cuticle, scarcely visible, globose. Sporules elliptical, uni- 
septate, not constricted, rather pale brown (-O^-’Oldx *006 mm.). 
On twigs of Genista cetnensis and Coronilla emerus. Kew. 
Diplodia Paulowniae, Cooke. 
Somewhat scattered. Perithecia subglobose, black, at length 
erumpent, but not superficial. Sporules elliptic, scarcely con- 
stricted, uniseptate, clear brown ( , 020- , 022 x *008 mm.). 
On twigs of Paulownia imperialis . Kew. 
Mixed with Plceospora and Phoma. 
Hendeisonia equiseti, Irail in Scot. Nat. i. 76. 
Perithecia subdermal, with a small ostiolum, nearly spherical 
(about 180 m. in diam.). Sporules pale brown, fusiform, or nearly 
cylindrical, with rather obtuse ends (-012-02 x *002- , 003 mm.), 
triseptate. 
In dead stems of Equisetum. Aberdeen.
