E mensura apparet, plantam nostram Cladosporio epibryo Cooke & 
Massee^^ identificam did non posse, quia inter eas e diagnosi magnae 
differentiae inveniuntur Quo in musco Cladosporium epibryum vegetat, 
nesdo, quia loco citato ephemeridis “Grevillea” solum his 
expressis verbis de habitatione hujus fungi mentionem facit: “On 
capsules of various mosses. United States. (Mrs. E. G. Britton.)” 
Bryophyton scrutatrix celeberrima, omnibus nota, Mrs. Elizabeth 
Gertrude Britton, in ephermeride hac de specibus diversis (“of 
various mosses”) gratissimum et doctissimum responsum dare posset. 
In litteratura mentio de Cladosporio herbarum in capsulis Buxbaumiae 
viridis parasito non facta est. Gratias hie optimas ago ill. ac cl. 
domino Dr. L. Hollos pro auxilio in determinatione.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT BY EDWARD B. CHAMBERLAIN 
I have collected at the foot of the Magas-Tatra Mts. in Northern 
Hungary, certain specimens of Buxbaumia viridis Brid., which have 
dark spots of greater or less size upon the surface of the capsules. 
From these spots proceed wavy threads. According to a letter of 
Dr. Ladislaus Hollos of Kecskemet, these spots are caused by a 
fungus, Cladosporium herbarum (Pers.) Link., which is parasitic upon 
many plants, 
Cladosporium herbarum forms a dense network of mycelium inside 
the capsule and on its surface minute threads, the hyphae- The lat- 
ter viewed from above are seen to spread out in a star-like mass 
The appended table gives the measurements of the various parts in 
microns. 
Judging from the diagnosis in Grevillea, and from the measure- 
ments, our plant is not identical with Cladosporium epibryum Cook &

2.) “ Caespitulis minutissimis, atris. Hyphis simplicibus, brevibus, flexuosis, 
septatis, olivaceis, superne pallidioribus ; conidiis ellipticis, utrinque rotundatis, 
uniseptatis, medio constrictis, pallide fuscis, hyalinis, 18-20x10-12^ On capsules 
of various mosses. United States. Mrs. E. G. Britton.”
