This forms 813 of the Fungi of Ceylon. The description is 
‘‘ Elfusum nigrum ; sporis magnis subglobosis. With Mona- 
tospora fusigera. Spores *0001- *0008 in diameter.” It is 
listed in Saccardo as Goniosporinm confusum (SylL, IV., p. 245). 
Monatospora fusigera B. & Br. is Fungi of Ceylon, 891, 
described as “ Floccis hyalinis, apice attenuatis ; sporis fusi- 
formibus fuscis, utrinque obtusiusculis (148). Apparently on 
the leaves of som,e palm. Spores *001 long.” 
In Herb. Kew suh G. confusum are only the duplicates of 
Thwaites 148, marked Monatospora fusigera and Gymnosporium 
confusum ; under Monatospora fusigera is a sheet bearing 
three pieces, labelled Monatospora fusig er a y two of which are 
chiefly Gymnosporium. 
Coniosporium confusum has linear acervuli, up to 4 m,m. 
long, bordered by the upturned epidermis of the host ; its 
conidia are rather pale yellowish-brown, spherical, 14-36 {k 
diameter, or oval, 16-30 X 10-20 
Monatospora fusigera forms a thin black crust over the 
substratum,, and overruns the acervuli of the Coniosporium. 
Its hyphæ are hyaline, loosely interwoven, about 2 ^ diameter. 
The conidia are fuliginous to black, narrow-oval, ends blunt, 
sometimes acuminate, 14-19 X 7-9 |jl.
