. PHYLLACHORA Nitschke. 
Phyllachora merrilli Eicker sp. iiov. 
Stromata gregarious, confluent, epipliyllous, convex, Iflack and shining, 
up to 6 mm. in diaineter, seated on 3fellowish spots; asci cjdindrical- 
clavate, 14-20 by 56-65 fx, short stipitate, 8-spored; sporidia obliquely 
uniseriate, or iisually partially biseriate or overlapping, elliptical, uiiisep- 
tate, at first hyaline, becoming brownish, 4-6 by 8-12 p. ; paraphyses few, 
filiform. 
Mindoro, Bulalacao (3579 Merrill) April, 1903. (Type.) On leaves of Ficus sp. 
Altliougli there are a large miinber of Phyllachoras described on Ficus, this 
species seems to dill'er from all of them. In asci and spore measurements it 
approaches closely P. infectoria Cke., and P. kanibachii P. Henn. The latter 
species has asci 10-15 by 50 by 62 /j. and sporidia 7-8 by 9-12 /x, which are lighter 
colored when mature, and although seemingly difl'erent' from the former the 
description is too incomplete to say positively whether they are the same or not, 
but it is improbable.
