Dothidea Strelitziae, Che. 
Maculae orbiculares, fuscae, sparsae. Pseudo-peritheciis singulis, 
conico-convexis, atris, nitidis. Ascis sporidiisque imperfectis. 
On leaves of Strelitzia. Inanda. (Wood, 580.) 
The spots are about 1 mm. broad, in the centre of which is the 
black perithecium, showing a brown margin all round. 
Dothidea crotonis, Che. 
Amphigena, atra, nitida. Pseudo-peritheciis caespitosis, vel con- 
fluentibus (3- mm. diam.) convexis. Ascis clavatis. Sporidiis ovalibus 
hyalinis (*U15 X *01 mm.). 
On leaves of Croton sylvaticum. Inanda. (Wood, 466.) 
Rhytisma porrigo, Che. 
Epiphylla. Maculis orbicularibus, convexis, atris, opacis (2 mm. 
diam.) circinato-fissuratis. Ascis clavatis. Sporidiis ellipticis, 
arcte ad medio constrictis, fuscis, utrinque obtusis (*022-’025 X 
*012 mm.), paraphysibus copiosis, superne fuscis. 
On leaves. Inanda, Natal. (Wood, 660.) 
Asterina (?) stylospora, Che. 
Gregaria, atra, Hypophylla, peritheciis hemisphericis, opacis, 
intra hyphis parcis nidulantibus, macrostylosporis ellipticis (026- 
•03 X ’01-012) supra rotundatis, infra in mucro hyalino, stipti- 
formi productis, plasmate fusco, medio fascia hyalino bipartito. 
On Sponia guineensis. Inanda. (Wood, 564.) 
There can be very little doubt of this being an Asterina, although 
only the macrostylospores have been seen. These are large, dark 
brown, elliptical, with a hyaline band across the centre, dividing 
the endochrome in two parts so as to have the appearance of being 
uniseptate. Similar, but smaller, macrostylospores have been met 
with in Asterina reticulata. 
Asterina diplocarpa, Che. 
Epiphylla, effusa. Peritheciis applanato-convexis, orbicularibus 
(•13 mm. diam.) fuscis, sparsis vel segregatis. Ascis obovatis. 
Sporidiis fuscis uniseptatis, valde constrictis (’016 x ’008 mm.) 
utrinque cellulo globoso. Peritheciis aliis minoribus, subglobosis, 
macrostylosporis ovatis, fuscis, continuis ( , 018- , 02 x ’01-012 
mm.) continentibus. 
On leaves of Sida cordifolia. Inanda, Natal. (Wood, 601.) 
Asterina toruligena, Che. 
Atra, velutina, orbicularis. Peritheciis applanatis, subdiscoideis, 
convexis (*1 mm.diam.) opacis, rugulosis. Hyphis fuscis radiantibus, 
circumdatis, ascis clavatis, sporidiis arcte ellipticis, uniseptatis, 
fuscis, leniter constrictis (*012 X '005 mm.). Stromate toruloideo ; 
hyphis erectis, simplicibus, subramosis, fuscis ; articulis ellipticis, 
(*008-*01 X *004 mm. ) dissilientibus. 
On living leaves. Inanda, Natal. (Wood, 559, 635.) 
A very characteristic species, in which the perithecia are seated 
amongst an undoubted black Torula , with narrowly elliptical joints, 
which appears to originate from the creeping brown mycelium of the 
perithecia.
