SIROSPHAERA Sydow gen. nov. Sphaeropsidearum 
(Etym. seriar= catena et sphaera pro pycnidio) 
Pycnidia in stromate superficiali ex hyphis obscure fuscis 
laxiuscule composite botryose aggregata, globoso-conoidea, atra, 
subcarbonacea, parenchymatice contexta, minute ostiolata. Ba- 
sidia filiformia, simplicia, hyalina. Sporulae catenulatae, minu- 
tissimae, continuae dilutissime brunneolae.

SIROSPHAERA BOTRYOSA Syd. sp. nov. (Fig. 6). 
Pycnidiis hypophyllis, in stromate omnino superficiali atro ex 
hyphis obscure fuscis laxiuscule composite dense botryose ag- 
gregatis et circulos rotundatos 0.5-1. 3 mm latos formantibus, in 
stromate subperficialibus vel basi tantum leniter immersis, glo- 
boso-conoideis vel e mutua pressione leniter angulatis aut ir- 
regularibus, minutis, 100-150 /x diam., atris, subcarbonaceis, os- 
tiolo distincto saepe papilliformiter producto praeditis, contextu 
parietis exterioris crassiusculi pluristratosis distincte parenchy- 
matico fusco ex cgllulis 8-10 /x diam. composite, parietis interioris 
hyaline indistincte minuteque cellulose, tota cavitate (ostiolo 
excepto) basidiis densissime stipatis vestita; basidiis filiformi- 
bus, simplicibus, hyalinis, 8-11 p longis, 0.8-1 p, latis; sporulis 
distincte catenulatis, ovatis vel ellipsoideis, continuis, utrinque 
minutissime 1-guttulatis, 2-2.5 /x longis, 1.5 p. latis, dilutissime
