MELIOLA PERPUSILLA Syd. sp. nov. 
Ephiphylla, rarius caulicola, maculas minutissimas 0.4-1 mm 
latas atras efformans ; myceiio radiante ex hyphis longis remote 
ramosis brunneis 8-10 /x, satis composite; hyphopodiis capitatis 
tereti-cylindraceis, rectis, erectis, brunneis, 16-24 /x, longis, 8.5-10 
fx latis, cellula basali minuta ; hyphopodiis mucronatis non visis ; 
setis mycelicis simplicibus, rectis vel leniter flexuosis, apice 
acutis, interne subopacis, sursum plerumque pellucidis, 200-320 
fx longis, 8-10 fx latis ; peritheciis 1-4 in quaque macula, globosis, 
atris, in sicco profunde umbilicatis, 100-150 jx diam., contextu 
perenchymatico ex cellulis 8-10 /x diam. composite; ascis ovatis, 
2-4-sporis, 30-42 fx longis, 20-30 fx latis, sporidiis oblongis, utrin- 
que late rotundatis, 4-septatis, ad septa leniter constrictis, fuscis,

Luzon, Province of Nueva Vizcaya, Bur. Sci. 20257 McGregor, January, 
1913, on living leaves and stems of Tylophora. 
The species is -well characterized by forming only very small spots, by 
the terete-cylindrical hyphopodia, and the small sporidia. 
MELIOLA PELLICULOSA Syd. sp. nov. 
Amphigena, foliorum superficiem pellicula plus minus continua 
aterrima facile separabili obducens ; myceiio ex hyphis densissime 
intertextis obscure fuscis 7-9 /x crassis ramosis septatis com- 
posite; hyphopodiis capitatis numerosissimis, breviter cylindra- 
ceis vel subclavatis, apice late rotundatis, 14-20 /x longis, 8-10 g 
latis, fuscis, cellula basali brevi; hyphopodiis mucronatis rario- 
ribus, ampulliformibus, usque 21 /x longis; setis mycelicis rectis, 
rigidis, apice acutis, simplicibus, opacis, superne subinde plus 
minus dilutioribus, 150-320 /x longis, 7-9 /x latis; peritheciis 
sparsis, minutis, globosis, tuberculatis, 100-130 /x diam.; ascis 
bisporis, ovatis, 40-50 /x longis, 25-35 g latis ; sporidiis oblongis, 
utrinque late rotundatis, 4-septatis, ad septa valde constrictis, 
obscure brunneis, 39-45 /x longis, 14-17 g latis. 
Luzon, vicinity of Manila, Merrill S 155, February 22, 1913, on living or 
languishing leaves of Lumnitzera racemosa. 
In external appearance and microscopical characters the species agrees 
fairly well with Meliola gymnosporiae Syd. which, however, produces no 
setae. 
MELIOLA CYLINDROPHORA Rehm. 
Myceiio epiphyllo, rarius hypophyllo, maculas minutas 1-4 mm 
latas aegre conspicuas formante, laxo, radiante, ex hyphis longi- 
usculis rectis ramosis fuscis 7-8 p. latis septatis composite; 
hyphopodiis capitatis numerosissimis, plerumque perfecte oppo- 
sitis, cylindraceis, fere semper rectis et aequalibus, apice late
