182. Septoria expansa, Niessl. Hedw., 1883, p. 15. On Geranium 
Carolinianum. Manhattan, Kansas, June, 1887 (Kellerman.) 
“Hypophyllous, spots indeterminate, much expanded, gilvous or 
subochraceous ; perithecia scattered, rather large, semi-immersed, open¬ 
ing at the apex; cirrhi reddish; sporules filiform, slightly curved, 
50—60 x 1 y, multinucleate and indistinctly septate.” The Kansas speci¬ 
mens, which are evidently the same as those distributed by Dr. Winter in 
his Exsiccati (Ko. 2897), agree with the above description, except that the 
sporules are often 75—100 y long and mostly as much as II y wide. They 
generally have about three septa. 
183. Septoria argophylla, E. & K. n. s. On living leaves of 
Psoralea argophylla. Manhattan, Kans., June, 1887 (W. T. Swingle.) 
Spots amphigenous, minute (one millim.), nearly black at first, becom¬ 
ing dirty white in the center, with a dark, subindefinite border ; perithe¬ 
cia mostly epiphyllous, scattered, rather large, immersed; sporules 
cylindrical, curved, obtuse, hyaline, faintly 2—3-septate, 40—55 x 21—3 y. 
Approaches Phleospora. 
184. Septoria Silphii, E. & E. On leaves of Silphiumperfoliatum. 
Ames, Iowa, September, 1886. Prof. B. D. Halsted. 
Spots amphigenous, 2—5 millim. in diameter, dirty brown above, 
paler below, subrotund or limited by the veinlets of the leaf, border 
definite, slightly raised; perithecia sublenticular, mostly epiphyllous; 
sporules filiform, 35—50 x 1 y, nearly straight and only faintly nucleolate. 
The spots become dirty white in the center. Closely allied to S. Cacalice , 
E. & K.. but spots rather darker and sporules mostly shorter. 
185. Septoria littorea, Sacc. Syll. Ill, p. 512. On living and 
partly dead leaves of Apocynum cannabinum. Manhattan, Ks., June, 1887. 
Spots amphigenous, rusty color, with a small, white center, definite, 
suborbicular, 1—3 millim.; perithecia few (1—3) on a spot, epiphyllous, 
sublenticular; sporules subcylindrical, curved, nucleolate, nearly hyaline, 
obtuse at each end, mostly 50—70 x 2 y, but some of them even 90—100 y 
long. This agrees so well with the description given by Saccardo that 
there can be little doubt of its being his species. 
186. Septoria Sii, Rob. & Desm. Sacc. Syll. Ill, p. 530. On leaves 
of Cicuta maculata. Manhattan, Ks., July, 1884. (Kellerman.) 
Spots amphigenous, small (one millim.), round or nearly so, yellow¬ 
ish at first, then white, with a pale yellow border; perithecia few (1—3) on 
a spot, epiphyllous, black, punctiform ; sporules filiform, slightly curved, 
ends rather acute, yellowish-hyaline, nucleolate, 35—40 x 1—H y. 
187. Septoria Aegopodii, Desm. Crypt. Fr., 616. On withered 
leaves of Osmorrhiza longistylis. Racine, Wis., June, 1887. Dr. J. J. Davis. 
Spots amphigenous, dirty white above, with an imperfectly-defined 
dark border, greenish below, small (2—3 millim.); perithecia nearly obso¬ 
lete, pale, thickly scattered over the spots and visible on both sides, 
lenticular, 150—200 y in diameter; sporules cylindrical, granular and
