row raised border, shaded with purple at first. Peritliecia epipliyllous, 
lenticular, inerced above 100-115/* in diameter. Sporules oblong, 2-3- 
nucleate, hyaline, 10-12 by 2i-34//. 
Phyllosticta orontii, E. & M. var. adyena, E. & E. On leaves of 
Nuphar advena , London, Canada, July, 1889. J. Dearness, 293£. Spots 
subelliptical 1-1J centimeters, pale yellow, more or less concentrically 
wrinkled, with a narrow, definite, slightly raised border. Peritliecia 
epipliyllous, innate, dark, slightly prominent, on a lighter colored, thin¬ 
ner, definitely margined spot in the center of the larger spot. Sporules 
oblong, 5-8 by 24-3/*, ends obtuse. 
Phyllosticta IIalstedii, n. s. On living leaves of Syringa vul¬ 
garis , New Brunswick, N. J., July, 1889. Dr. B. D. Halsted. Spots 
amphigenous; subrotund; red-brown; J to centimeters in diame¬ 
ter; concentrically wrinkled or zoned, with a definite, narrow, dark 
border. Peritheciafew; lenticular 100-150/*, in diameter; innate; gene¬ 
rally visible on both sides of the leaf. Sporules broad, fusoid-oblong, not 
curved; granular; 15-20 by 5-7/*; ends rounded. The specimens of 
Phyllosticta syringes , West, in De Tliiimen’s Mycotheca 1490 agree very 
well with the description in Sy’lloge, having sporules 6-8 by 2J-3/*, but 
specimens in Fungi Gallici 135 are the same as the New Jersey speci¬ 
mens; spots concentrically wrinkled, and sporules 15-20 by 5-7/*. De 
Thiimen’s Mycotheca, 1672, on leaves of Syringe Ghinensis , does not 
seem to be a Phyllosticta. 
Phyllosticta desmodii, n. s. On leaves of Desmodium, Walworth 
County, Wis. July, 1888. Dr. J. J. Davis, 47. Spots amphigenous, 
suborbicular or irregular; 2-5 millimeters in diameter; often more 
or less conlluent; dark brown, becoming whitish in the center, at length 
more or less fissured and cracked. Sporules oblong, elliptical, hyaline, 
3^-5 by 14-2//. 
Phyllosticta palmetto, n. s. On leaves of Sabal palmetto, Louis¬ 
iana, April, 1886. (Lauglois, 426 in part.) On the same host at Leland, 
Miss., April, 1889 (Tracy, 1206). Spots subelliptical ^ to 1 by | to J 
centimeter, pallid, with a yellowish shaded border. Perithecia amphi¬ 
genous, pustuliform, 110-150/* in diameter, lead colored, of fine cellular 
structure, with a small round opening in the center. Sporules cylin¬ 
drical; obtuse 2-3-nucleate, hyaline, 12-14 by 24-3//. The perithecia 
resemble minute blisters. Probably the spermogonial stage of Splice- 
rella sabaligena , E. & E., with which it was mixed in the Louisiana spec¬ 
imens. 
Phyllosticta deutzhe, n. s. On leaves of Deutzia (cult.). Spots 
amphigenous, light brown or whitish, round, 1-2 millimeters in diame¬ 
ter, with raised border on both sides of the leaf. Perithecia lenticular,
