the sporidia are bicellular. The type as well as the Philippine specimens, 
however, have only unicellular sporidia, which measure 7 to 12 m in length 
and 4 to 5 in breadth. Hence the fungus must be placed in the genus 
Phyllachora.

leaves of Saccharum spontaneum. 
The Phyllachora on Saccharum spontaneum, which is not rare in the 
Philippine Islands, has hitherto been regarded as the same as P. Sacchari 
P. Henn., found on Saccharum officinarum. It has, indeed, the same gen- 
eral appearance as the latter, but differs in the form of the sporidia. 
These are elliptic or ovate, broad, and measure 15 to 22 by 10 to 13 u 
in P. Sacchari, whereas those of P. Sacchari-spontanei are longer but 
narrower, and fusiform in shape. We have examined two specimens of 
each form from different localities, and have found the difference in the 
shape and size of the sporidia to be constant. We do not hesitate, there- 
fore, to regard the form on S. spontaneum as a distinct species.
