344. Gloeospokium ribis (Lib.) Desm. & Mont. 
On Ribes triste Pall. La Pointe. 
On Ribes vulgare Lam. (cult.) Kenosha. 
On Ribes prostratum L’Her. Mellen. On the latter 
host the conidi a are but little curved and mostly 
20—24 microns long; probably the forma ribis 
nigri americana of Saccardo. This is said to be 
the conidial form of Drepanopeziza ribis Kleb. 
359. Under the name Phyllosticta cruenta Pr. (properly (Pr.) 
Kickx) specimens were reported on Uvularia 
grandiflora Smith and Smilacina. The American 
form on Smilacina with globose sporules has been 
separated by Peck (Keport of the State Botanist, 
1905, p. 26) under the name Phyllosticta pallidior. 
This has also been collected at Waupaca on 
Smilacina racemosa Desf. with the deeply col¬ 
ored border 1—1% mm wide. In specimens 
from Adams county on Smilacina stellata Desf. 
the colored border is less than 1 mm. wide and 
the color is often reduced or even lacking from a 
portion or sometimes all of the periphery of the 
spot. The sporules are spherical, 10 microns in 
diameter. The specimen on Uvularia seems dif¬ 
ferent from this forming elliptical to oblong 
spots 1—3 cm long, pale brown above pale gray 
beneath and without a colored border. The 
pycnidia are amphigenous, globose, black, 70—100 
microns in diameter and the sporules are elliptical 
5—7 X 3—4 microns with a single vacuole. In 
Farlow’s Host Index Phyllosticta uvularice Gal¬ 
loway is given under Uvularia grandiflora Smith. 
Kot being able to find a description of this species 
I appealed to Dr. Galloway who referred the mat¬ 
ter to Mrs. Flora W. Patterson, Mycologist of the 
Bureau of Plant Industry. Prom her report I 
quote as follows: “It is safe to write to Dr. Davis 
that the description of his fungus does not fit 
Phyllosticta uvularice as represented in our col-
