OMITTED DIAGNOSES. 
sessilibus sporas 8 ovatas pellucidas simplices aut rarius 1-septatas 
globulis minutissimis 4-5 farctas foventibus, paraphysibus 0. In 
monte Saleva prope Genevam ad Juniperum emortuum cajus 
foliorum fere omnium paginam superiorem raro inferiorem infar- 
ciebat. 
Sphseria fusispoxa ( Duby ). Klot. Herb. Myc., No. 1832. 
Gregaria aut elongato-seriata demum confluens primo tecto 
demum epidermide disrupta emergens, receptaculis nigris opacis 
globoso-depressis et etiam collapsis nmic solitariis nunc in series 
digestis et tunc difformibus, ostiolo nullo, paraphysibus nullis, 
thecis clavasformibus, sporas 8 fusiformes utrinque attenuatas 
virescentes 1-septatas 2-seriales foventibus. Ad caules emortuos 
Clematidis. Affinis S. Dulcamaras a qua caracteribus laudatis 
differt et etiam S. Panacis Auct. non Fries (quas Diplodia). 
Scarcely like Melogramma vagans , to which it has been referred. 
Sphaezia (Obturata) Rhododendri ( Ces .). Klot. Herb. Myc., No. 1836. 
Forsan erit qui ad Sph. protusam (Fr.) vel obturatam (Ejnsd.) 
ducere velit. Sed donec non innotuerit exacte fructificatio sin- 
gularum Sphasriarum simplicium in plurimis speciebus deter- 
minatio asquivoca. In nostra, cujus specimina eheu ! nisi pro 
maxima parte vetusta et diffracta legere contigit, ascos cito 
evanescere puto, sporidia ovoideo-oblonga hyalina simplicia lin- 
quentes. Perithecia perfecta sub-globosa ostiolum minutum 
quidem sed distinctum papillasforme praebent.
