SEPT0R1AS OF NORTH AMERICA. 
129. Septoria Sisymbrii, Ellis. Am. Nat. XVI, p. 811; Sylloge 
III, p. 520; Ellis, N. A. F., No. 1142. 
Spots whitish, dry, irregular, large; perithecia black, delicate, 
innate, erumpent, amphigenous. scattered, 3—4 in a cluster, 112—150/On 
diameter; sporules white, cylindrical, 1—2-septate, often curved, ends 
obtuse, 30—40 x 21—3i ,". On leaves of Sisymbrium. Kentucky. 
130. Septoria Smilacena:, E. & M. Am. Nat. XVI, p. 1001; 
Sylloge III, p. 574; Ellis, N. A. F., 1146. 
Spots gray, oblong, 3—5 millim., border dark pink ; perithecia light 
brown, conoid, innate, prominent, mostly covered by the epidermis, 
generally epiphyllous, 112 y in diameter; sporules hyaline, filiform, 
guttulate, 63—114x3,"-. On leaves of Smilacina. Pennsylvania. 
Note. —The specific name is badly chosen, as there is already a 
Septoria smilaina , Dur. & Mont., but that is on Smilax and has much 
shorter, 4-septate spores. This is more nearly allied to S. brunneola , 
Niessl, which, however, is on different-colored spots and has narrower 
spores.— Eds. 
131. Septoria Solidaginis, Thum. Sylloge III, p.546; Rav. F. 
A., 784. 
Spots light brown or pallid, dry, round, one millim. in diameter, 
border purple, broad, often coalescing; perithecia black, subglobose, 
innate, slightly prominent, few in a spot, epiphyllous, 100—130,"indiam¬ 
eter ; sporules hyaline, linear, “subacute, septate in the middle,” curved 
or straight, 30—35 x 24 y, or “15 x 4,” (Sylloge.) On leaves of Soliclago 
puberula and Solidago odora. South Carolina. 
132. Septoria sonchifolia, Cke. Sylloge III, p. 552; Rav. F.

Spots brown, round or elongated ; perithecia innate ; sporules hya¬ 
line, linear, mostly straight, 20—24 x 2 ,", discharged on the upper surface 
of the leaves. On Sonchus asper. South Carolina. 
133. Septoria Specularias, B. & C. 
In Berkley’s Notices of North American Fungi, Grev. Ill, pp. 8 and 
9, are two Nos. (437 and 439) with this name. One of these (No. 439), 
Saccardo, in Syll. Ill, p. 544, has designated as Septoria specularina , B. & 
C. Spots tawny, indefinite or obsolete; perithecia light brown, subglo¬ 
bose, at length more or less depressed, prominent, scattered over the 
leaves and stems, 80—100 y in diameter; sporules hyaline, nearly straight, 
nucleolate, 25—40 x 1 y. This description applies to the specimens in 
Rav. F. Am., 262 (on Specularia , So. Car.), and to specimens from Kan¬ 
sas on Specularia perfoliata. In Grevillea, No. 439, it is said to grow on 
Specularia Lu do vidana. 
134. Septoria Specularia:, B. & C., No. 437, in Berkley’s Notices, 
is described as follows : 
“Spots pallid or obsolete; perithecia prominent, scattered ; sporules 
filiform, with two points of contrary flexure. On leaves of Specularia 
perfoliata. Pennsylvania. Michener, No. 4328.”
