SYNOPSIS PYRENOMYCETUM. 
Botryosphaeria viburni, Cooke. 
Stromatibus erumpentibus, gregariis, minimis mm. diam.), 
corticolis, depresso-pulvinatis, atro-fuscis, superficie tuberculosis, 
albo-farctis. Peritheciis (6-10) subimmersis, vertice convexis, 
pertusis. Ascis clavatis. Sporidiis arcte ellipticis, continuis, fla- 
vescentibus, intus granulosis (*018--021 x ’008 mm.). 
On branches of Viburnum opulus. United States. 
Closely allied to B. ar alios , Curt., of which it may be a 
variety. 
Botryosphaeria hypericorum, Cooke in Herb. Berk. 9030 bis. 
Subelliptica, planiuscula, atra. Peritheciis parvulis, connatis, 
albo-farctis, epidermide fissa arcte cinctis. Ascis clavatis, octo- 
sporis. Sporidiis anguste ellipticis, continuis, hyalinis (circa 
•02 x *005 mm. immaturis). 
On stems of Hypericum proliferum. United States (No. 
2864). 
Although the sporidia are so immature that it is difficult to dis- 
tinguish clearly their form and size, yet the habit and structure is 
so distinctly that of the present genus, that it has been inserted, 
subject to some reservation as to the sporidia. 
Botryosphaeria hypoxyloidea, Cooke. 
Mox superficialis, hypoxyloidea. Peritheciis minimis, in pus- 
tulas orbicularibus, convexis rugosis, atris, opacis, confluentibus. 
Ascis cylindrico-clavatis, octosporis. Sporidiis ellipticis, continuis, 
hyalinis, *012 x *005 mm. 
On branches (unknown.) Australia. 
Has just the habit and appearance of some species of Hy poxy Ion, 
but not carbonaceous. 
Botryosphaeria stomatica, Schiveinitz in Herb. Berk. No. 8823. 
Latissime effusa, emergens, lignum atro inquinans. Peritheciis 
semi-immersis majusculis, ostiolis validis prominentibus, cylindraceis 
obtusis insignis. Ascis clavatis, octosporis, sporidiis ellipticis, con- 
tinuis, fuscis *012- , 013 x ’005 mm. 
On rotten wood. Indiana, United States. (Schweinitz.) 
Botryosphaeria (Myrmaecium) collematoides, B. Sf Rav. 
Stromate effuso, tenui, atro. Peritheciis parvulis, ovalibus, con- 
gestis, demum apice applanato, opaco, botryoideo-aggregatis, sub- 
confluentibus. Ascis cylindraceis, octosporis. Sporidiis ellipticis, 
uniseptatis, vix constrictis, fuscis (*015 x '007 mm.). 
On bark. United States. 
This species, M. insidens , Schw., and M. grandinea, Berk., have 
been confounded together, but they are all' manifestly distinct, 
although similar in habit and external appearance. 
Endothia Parryi ( Farlom .) 
Stromatibus pulvinate erumpentibus. Peritheciis numerosis, con- 
centrice aggregatis, fuscis, epidermide cinnabarina cinctis. Ascis 
lineari-clavatis, *76-110 x *1 6-20 p,, aparaphysatis ; sporidiis octo-
