shining; perithelia conic-hemispheric, 200—250 p in diameter, not 
crowded, seated on the stroma about midway or a liltle above the middle 
and extending along for about one cm.; ostiolum short, conic, acute; 
asci 75—80 x 7—8 !>- (exceptionally 100 p long), spore-bearing part 65—75 P 
long; sporidia mostly biseriate, pale olive brown, fusoid, often a little 
bulging on one sde, 14—18 x 8-84 p\ paraphyses none. At Newfield, 
this occurs mostly on fallen leaves of Magnolia glauca. The specimens 
in Rav. Car. and in 1ST. A. F. are sterile, but fertile specimens have now 
been found and will be again distributed. 
I). Xylodactyla. Apex sterile, stem villose. 
a. Capitularn clavate , simple. 
21. Xylaria trachellna, Lev. (Sphseria, Cordyceps trachelina, 
Lev., Ann. Sci. Xat., 1860, V 304). 
Clubs elongated, rugose, tuberculose, apices acute, sterile, sooty- 
black, white within, stipes very long, tomentose; perithecia globose, 
prominent, black within; ostiola obsolete; asci cylindrical; sporidia 
obtusely lanceolate, dark, 20 x 7 !>■; stipe one half an inch high ; club one 
inch long, one eighth to one third of an inch thick. On trunks. New 
Granada, South America. We have included this species, as it is not 
improbable that it will be found in the contiguous territory of Central 
America. 
22. Xylaria perstcaria, Schw. Syn. Car., No. 9. On buried 
peach pits. Carolina (Schweinitz). 
Csespitose, stem flexuous, rarely branching, rooting, three inches 
long and over, as thick as a crow’s quill, at first covered with a greenish, 
villose coat, at length black ; perithecia about midway, very prominent; 
club white, changing to a flesh-colored or yellowish tint. Where the 
peach stones from which it grows lie deep in the ground, the stem is 
sometimes six inches long.
