NEW AND RARE BRITISH FUNGI. 
101. Sphaerella Euphorbiae, n. sp, 
Perithecia minute, covered by the cuticle, flattened, crowded or 
scattered, asci subcylindrical 70 x 10-15 mk. Sporidia 8 biseriate 
elliptical, pointed at the extremities, granular, 15-20 X 6-8 mk. 
On Euphorbia amygdaloides. Dinmore. 1876. 
The absence of elongated ostiola, the comparative wideness of the 
sporidia, their larger size and different shape distinguish tliis 
species from Plagiostoma Euphorhice. Fckl.

towards the base giving attachment to a few delicate mycelial 
threads. Asci cylindrical 45-50 X 6-8 mk. Sporidia 8 uniseriate, 
subrotund, discoid, minute, involved in gelatin, 5 x 7 mk. About 
2 mk. in thickness.

These two species of Sordaria (Nos. T04 and T05) are allied 
to S. discospora. Awd., but are obviously distinct. 
t. 94 f. 3. Perithecium. Sporidia, ascus and two hair-like 
processes.
