NEW JERSEY FUNGI. 
11 
apex; sporidia sausage-sliaped, about *0075 mm. long. (PI. 95, 
fig. 11.) Nos. 2503, 2480. 
Valsa decidua. C. 4 - E. 
Pustulis elongatis, erumpentibus ; peritlieciis minimis, atris, 
(12-20), ostiolis elongatis, demum partim deciduis ; ascis clavatis ; 
sporidiis allantoideis, minimis, hyalinis. 
On twigs of Azalea. 
The pustules are small, perithecia loosely collected together in 
an evanescent mealy brown stroma ; some or all of the perithecia 
often fall out when mature, leaving the pallid liber naked ; sporidia 
about *01 mm. long, curved. No. 2491. 
Valsa sociata. C. 4* E. 
Minuta, tecta ; peritheciis subglobosis, in corticis immersis, 
paucis 3-5, atro-cinctis ; ascis clavatis ; sporidiis ellipticis, unisep- 
tatis, hyalinis. 
On Benzoin twigs. 
The pustules are small, covered, and scarce visible, except by 
tufts of black threads of a Helminthosporium, which proceed from 
nearly every pustule, the clavate spores of which are multiseptate ; 
sporidia elliptical uniseptate, hyaline, *012 x '004. No. 2639. 
Valsa mahaleb. C. 3,' E. 
Although we have applied this name to the specimens, the fruit 
is too immature for description. There is evidence that it is an 
undescribed species ; but at present we can only apply the name, 
and say that the pustules are small, consisting of but 3 or 4 peri- 
thecia, and that the asci are somewhat clavate. The sporidia have 
the appearance of being very large. 
On Mahaleb cherry. No. 2605. 
Valsa subclypeata. C. 4* P. 
On Bubus. N. Jersey (Ellis, 2506). 
Valsa inconspicua. C. ^ E. 
Apparently a good species, but the specimens are too small and 
poor for a satisfactory description. Sporidia 4 nucleate, then tri- 
septate, narrowly fusiform, hyaline, '015 x '004 mm. 
On Alnus. No. 2583. 
Valsa ocularia. C. d: E. 
Pustnlis epidermide tectis, ad basin ligno adnatis. Peritheciis 
in stromate pallido congestis, nigro-cinctis ; ostiolis atris, cylin- 
dricis, erumpentibus ; ascis clavatis ; sporidiis fusiformibus, 4 
nucleatis demum leniter triseptatis, hyalinis. 
On branches of Ilex glabra (!) 
Perithecia seated on the wood collected in a pallid stroma, and 
surrounded by a black line, so that when the bark is removed they 
have an ocellate appearance. The bark is only just pierced by the 
ostiola; sporidia fusiform, quadrinucleate, at length faintly tri- 
septate, '025 X *004 mm. (PI. 95, fig. 3.) 
No. 2488.
