[VOL. II, 
Helmtnthosporiu3i spiculiferum, E. & E.—On large, white, 
dark-bordered spots, on leaves of Sabal palmetto, Langlois, 
IS'o. 426. Sterile hyphie, effused, simple, erect, brown, subundulate, con¬ 
tinuous (or faintly septate ?), 100 x 2^—3 !>■; conidia oblanceolate, pale 
brown, 5—9-septate, narrowed below into a slender, subliyaline base, 
more abruptly contracted above, wuth the apex truncate and darker 
bro\vn. Sometimes the conidia are constricted at one or more of the 
septa. Eorms a thin, velutinous coat, scarcely visible to the naked eye. 
Periconia lateralis, E. & E.—On dead herbaceous stems. June. 
Langlois, No. 489. Fertile hyphse, erect, subulate, septate, opaque, 250— 
300 P- high and 8—10 p- thick at base, nearly straight and bearing on one 
side, just below the tip, a flattish cluster of globose, yellowish-brown, 
echinulate, 10—12/^, conidia. The hyplue appear, under the lens, like a 
thin, erect, black pubescensce, and the part of the stem occupied is 
mostly blackened. The habitat is that of P. byssoides, Fr. {Sporocybe 
byssoides, in N. A. F.) The conidia have a large nucleus of a lighter 
shade. 
IsARiOPSis SUBULATA, E. & E.—On decaying stalks of Zea 3fays. 
Langlois, No. 495. Stipe subnlate, 1—H millim. high, tapering above 
and lighter colored, composed of rather closely-compacted, brown hypha), 
with free-spreading, hyaline, squarrose-spreading tips on all sides above, 
bearing the hyaline, mostly 2-nucleate, ovate, 7—8 x 4 P conidia. The 
stipe is subbulbous and strigose at base. This varies from the generic 
character as given by Fresenius, in the conidia not being septate. 
Stertgmatocystis dasytrtcha, E. & E.—On decaying wood, lying 
on the ground. May. Langlois, No. 441. Fertile hyphse, effused, velu¬ 
tinous, erect, pale, olive-brown, septate, 250—300 x 6—8 p, the oblong or 
ovate, enlarged apex thickly covered with coarse, nodulosely-branched 
sterigmata, 20—25 x 4 p, obtuse and sublobate at the tips, and with short, 
rudimentary, lateral branches or projections, which are often little more 
than mere swellings or tubercles, irregularly arranged and all together, 
forming an oblong head, 45—60 p long by 20—25 P thick ; conidia oblong- 
cylindrical, hyaline, 5—7 x li—H P, borne either singly or 2—3-catenu- 
late on the tips of the basidia. Under the lens or even to the naked eye, 
the conidia are white, causing the olivaceous, velutinous hyphse to ap¬ 
pear sprinkled with gray. The general appearance is that of Menisporn 
qlaiico-nigra, C. & E. 
JVOTES ON FLORIDA FUNGI.-No. 8. 
BY W, W. CALKIN3, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. 
36. Folyporus niphodes, E. & Br. var — Resembles Irpex some¬ 
what ; pores more open than in P. niphodes. Rare. 
37. Folyporus Floridanus, Berk.—Somewhat abundant, grow¬ 
ing unattached except at base. Not resupinate as is P. pergamenus, 
which it might be mistaken for w'ere it not for the color, which is gray¬ 
ish slaty above and dark underneath.
