Cy t lindrosporium Clematidis, E. & E —On living leaves of Cle¬ 
matis Virginiana , Eaulkland, Del., September, 1885. A. Commons, No. 
285. Spots amphigenous, reddisli-brovvn, round or subangular, 1—3 
millim. in diam.; acervuli comparatively few, epipliyllous, immersed, 
scattered ; spores exuding in white tufts, fusoid-linear, 75—80 x 2i —3 !>■, 
nucleate, becoming multiseptate, somewhat curved. Seems to dilfer 
from C. Ranunculi , Bon., in its distinct spots and shorter basidia. 
Cylindrosporium pulchrum, Speg.—VVe have received from B. T. 
Galloway, Columbia, Mo , specimens of a fungus on living leaves of 
Rumex and which we believe to be the above-named species. The acerv¬ 
uli are thickly scattered over the entire surface of the leaf, are of a 
whitish color, very minute and burst out on both sides of the leaf, but 
perhaps more abundantly below. There are no definite spots, but the 
leaf is more or less tinged with yellow The conidia vary from 8—35 /'- 
long and are H—2 ! l wide, without septa. 
Cylindrosporium Apocyni, E. & E.— On leaves of Apocynum 
androscemifolium , Eaulkland, Del., October, 1886. A. Commons, No. 407. 
Spots amphigenous, dark brown, rather indefinitely limited and of rather 
irregular shape, 2—4 millim. in diam., subconcentrically marked and 
subconfluent, at length whitened by the exuding conidia, which are 
50—80 x 4—5 /-*, vermiform-cylindrical and more or less curved and finally 
faintly 3—5-septate; acervuli small, numerous, mostly erumpent above. 
The affected leaves soon become brown. 
Cytlindrosporium oercosporoides, E. & E.—On living leaves of 
Liriodendron Tulipifera , Washington, D. C., October, 1885. Com. Prof. 
F. L. Scribner. Spots amphigenous, suborbicular, large (1 cm.), brown, 
rather indefinite; acervuli hypophyllous, punctiform, minute; conidia 
erumpent, filiform, multinucleate, becoming multiseptate, 130—170 x 
3—31 hyaline (basidia obovate?). Appears like a diffused white down 
on the surface of the spots and much resembles a Cercospora , but the 
conidia appear to originate beneath the epidermis.
