2. Toruloidea Unangstii sp. nov. 
Pulvinate, sometimes confluent, but usually in small patches, 
yellow ; mycelium creeping, branched, filiform ; sporophores erect, 
short, bearing long chains of spores ; spores yellow, ovoid to ellip- 
soid, 2-3 X 3-4 
On decayed wood. Transfer, Pa. 
Specimens examined: Pennsylvania, Sumstine and Unangst 
(type). 
Type specimen is in the herbarium of the Carnegie Museum, 
Pittsburgh, Pa. 
3. Toruloidea Nicotianae (Pezz. and Sacc.) 
Oospora Nicotianae Pezz. and Sacc. Syll. Fung. 14: 1037. 1899. 
Pulvinate or effused, in small patches, white ; mycelium fili- 
form, creeping, branched, septate ; sporophores short, erect ; spores 
in chains, globose to ellipsoid, 2.5-3 /a. 
On tobacco leaves. 
Specimens examined: Ohio. 
The original description says the spores are papillate. The 
specimens examined did not show this character. 
4. Toruloidea Tulipiferae (Ellis & Mart) 
Oospora Tulipiferae Ellis & Mart. Amer. Nat. 16: 1004. 1882. 
Thin, effused, white or slightly colored; mycelium subhyaline 
or light brown, septate ; sporophores short, erect ; spores hyaline 
or subhyaline, ellipsoid to cylindrical, concatenate, chains long, 
branched, 3-4 X 7~9 
On leaves of Liriodendron. 
Specimens examined: Pennsylvania, Martin. 
The specimen examined is likely a part of the original collec- 
tion, but it was not sufficient for a satisfactory examination. 
The plants grow on light brown spots on the leaves. A drawing 
on the label by Dr. Martin shows the chains of spores several 
times branched. The description here given is more or less com- 
piled from the original.
