With the same habit as the preceding species, but perithecia larger 
{i millim.), subglobose, smooth, pale, golden-yellow, with the minute 
ostiolum darker ; asci cylindrical, 50 x 8—7 p -; sporidia biseriate, oblong- 
fusoid, 8—12x3 /^, 2-nucleate, becoming tardily uniseptate ; stroma pale, 
flattish, scarcely rising above the epidermis. On bark of Magnolia 
glauca. Autumn.

“Cmspitose, erumpent, pale red; perithecia few, oval, soft-waxy, 
subconfluent, smooth, glabrous, 5—10 on a stroma ; asci cylindrical, 8- 
spored ; sporidia uniseriate, elliptical, obtuse, uniseptate, not constricted, 
hyaline (‘demum pallidis ’), 10 x 44 P ; conidia [Fasarium Acacice, Ck. & 
Hark.), either accompanying the perithecia on the same stroma or produced 
in separate pustules of earlier growth, on a pale red, pulvinate stroma, 
curved, hyaline, acute at each end, 3-septate, 30—40 x 24 P. On Acacia 
twigs, California, (Harkness, Xos. 2162 and 2288), in a quadrisulcate man¬ 
ner as in many Valsas. Asci 45—55 x 10—12 p^ oblong-cylindrical, sub- 
sessile ; sporidia biseriate, oblong-fusoid, hyaline, 3—4-nucleate, becom¬ 
ing uniseptate, 12—16 x 4—5 p^ sometimes constricted at the septum, but 
mostly not. Some of the perithecia are scattered and stand singly, but, 
in wmll-developed specimens, they form dense clusters 1—14 millim. in 
diam.” This description is taken from the specimens in X. A. F., 773, 
on Benzoin^ collected in West Chester, Pa., and agrees fairly with that 
given by Schweinitz, except that the perithecia are not polystichous 
(lying in several layers), nor are they what would, in a general way, be 
called smooth. They are certainly not glabrous, nor are those of N. coc- 
cinea, Fr., which are called smooth, but are, at least when dry, distinctly 
furfuraceous, though not so decidedly so as in this case. Our friend, 
W. C. Stevenson, Jr., has, how^ever, compared the specimens in K. A.F., 
773, with an original specimen of N. ochroleuca, Schw., in Herb. Schw., in 
the Mus. of the Acad. Xat. Sci., at Philadelphia, and says that, out¬ 
wardly, they appear to be the same, but he did not make a microscopical 
examination, as the specimen in the Acad. Herb, was very meager. 
Found, according to Schweinitz, on various deciduous trees, both at 
Salem, X. C., and Bethlehem, Pa. 
101. Nectria atrofusca. Schw. Syn. X. Am., 1429. 
Stroma pulvinate, subcarnose, wood-color inside, darker outside, 
small (4 millim. or about that), erumpent through the epidermis, by 
the ruptured margin of which it is closely embraced; perithecia 
csespitose, nearly black, smooth and glabrous, small, mostly less than 
one sixth millim., conic, becoming ovate and obovate, and finally col¬ 
lapsing above ; ostiolum obtuse-conic, black and shining, rather large ; 
asci subcylindrical, 45—55 x 7 p, with abundant, imperfectly-devel¬ 
oped paraphyses; sporidia subbiseriate, oblong-elliptical, low^r cell
