1670. Dimerosporium Ludwigianum. Sacc. Hedw. 1889, 
p. 127. 
Mycelium forming pale sooty spots on both surfaces, scarcely 
determinate, adpressed ; perithecia here and there crowded, 
globular, superficial (75 p. diam.), dark sooty brown ; threads 
radiating, of the same colour, septate, unequal, loosely interwoven, 
adpressed ; asci rather thick, clavately-fusoid, obtuse at the apex, 
25-28 X 9-10 p ; sporidia shortly fusoid, uniseptate, not con- 
stricted, 10-12 x 3 fi, hyaline. 
On fading leaves of Laqenophora Billardieri. Victoria. 
1671. Dimerosporium parvulum. Cooke Grev. xx., 5. 
Perithecia minute, subglobose, membranaceous, with a brown, 
sparse, radiating mycelium, seated on irregular black spots (in 
company with Asteromella ) ; asci globose, with a small basal 
apiculus ; sporidia elliptical, uniseptate, constricted at the septum, 
hyaline, 11-20 x8 p (possibly acquiring colour when mature). 
On living leaves of Trema aspera. Queensland. (Fig. 243.) 
Genus 59. MELIOLA. Fries. 
Perithecia seated on a spot-like, superficial, black mycelium, 
globose, without mouth, membranaceous, surrounded by seUe or 
appendages ; asci often short, thick, 2-8-spored ; sporidia typi- 
cally oblong, 2-5 septate, brown, sometimes continuous or fenes- 
trate, hyaline or brown.

On both surfaces. Mycelium spot-like, quite black, spots 
orbicular ; perithecia large, globose, scarcely depressed, rarely 
collapsed and umbilicate, surrounded by rigid, shining, black 
appendages ; sporidia triseptate, oblong.
