ADDITIONS TO RAMULARIA AND 
CERCOSFORA. 
BY J. B. EBT.IS AND B. M. EVERHART. 
Ramularia Veronicje, Fckl. Symb., p. 361.—On leaves of Vero¬ 
nica peregrina, Racine, Wis., May, 1887, Dr. J. J..Davis. Tufts amphig- 
enous, white, abundant, covering both surfaces of the leaves, especially 
the tips, which soon become discolored and dead ; hyphae slender, con¬ 
tinuous, granular, simple, subdentate above, 20—30 x 2U—3 arising 
from a tubercular base ; conidia cylindrical, granular, continuous, ends 
obtuse, 20—30 x 3 
The above description does not agree well with that given byFuckel, 
who says “conidiis cylindraceis ellipticisve, magnitudine varia. sirnpli- 
cibus.” The specimens in de Thumeirs Austrian Fungi, 892, on 
Veronica lieder op folia, have the conidia broader and shorter, 12—20 x 4 
but do not differ in other respects. The specimens in our copy of Myco- 
theca Marchica (798), on Veronica officinalis , show neither hyphae nor 
conidia. Saccardo places this in his genus Ovularia , but no elliptical 
conidia were seen in the Wisconsin specimens, which do not seem to us 
specifically distinct. It is more probable that the form of the conidia 
may vary on the different species of the host, as Fuckel makes them 
either cylindrical or elliptical. 
Ramularia Sidalceje, E. & E.—On Sidalcece. British Columbia, 
July, 1887, Prof. J. Macoun. Maculicolous; spots amphigenous, 2—4 
millim. in diameter, dark purple, with a dirty whitish or grayish center 
and subindefinite margin ; fertile hyphae hypopliyllous, arising in dense 
fascicles through the stomata of the leaf, hyaline, simple, 15—20 x 3 
subdenticulate and subangularly bent above, or entire; conidia subca- 
tenulate, hyaline, oblong or oblong-cylindrical, continuous or uniseptate, 
12—22 x 24—3 !>. This seems to be quite different from Ttamularia Malvce , 
Fckl.
