A NEW ‘‘TILLETIA.” 
By Prof. Passerini. 
We have received from Professor Passerini of Parma, the 
following description of a Tilletia, believed to be new. 
Tilletia calospoxa. Passer. Hh. 
Sporae perfecte globosae, fuscae, crebrae reticulato-costatae, costis 
parum prominulis. 
Inter T. sphcerococcam, Rabh., et T. controversam, Kuhn., 
media. Huic sporarum forma similis, dum episporii characteribus 
ad illam accedit. 
In s,p\Q,\s, Alopecuri agrostis. Parma (Italy). June, 1875. 
The globose spores are of the same size as those of Tilletia 
controversa and Tilletia Lolii, but deeper in colour, and with a 
thicker epispore than in either. The reticulations are also dif- 
ferent, forming smaller areolae than in T. controversa. The spores 
of the four species above-named are nevertheless very similar. 
The habit, however, differs amongst them, and must be taken into 
account.
