If any mycologist can dress one or more of these synonyms

A NEW SPECIES OF RHYTISMA 
W. A. KELLERMAN. 
At West Mansfield, Logan County, Ohio, July, 1901, a 
thicket several acres in extent of Ilex verticillata was inspected 
and found to be universally and abundantly affected with a 
Rbytisma, which though immature seemed to be an undescribed 
species. Specimens representing the stage are issued in Ohio 
Fungi, No. 76. Mr. Ellis received the same form immature 
from Professor Carver, 292, on the same host (apparently), at 
Tuskegee, Alabama. He also says: “In the specimens issued 
in N. A. F. 3134, and F. Col. 535 collected on the same host 
m Vigo County, Indiana, by Professor Underwood, the stro- 
ast&ta are amphigenous but more prominent below, instead of be¬ 
ing concave , a character not found in any other species of Rhv- 
tisma on Ilex.” 
The accompanying figures illustrate the important charac¬ 
ters of the form in question. At St. in Plate 1 is shown a dia- 
jgramatic transverse-section in which the concavity of the un¬ 
derside of the stroma is pronounced. On the leaf in the same 
Igure are shown a number of stromata of varying sizes, most 
of which are ruptured above in the somewhat regular manner. 
Figures represent the characteristic asci (A), accompanied by 
the slender elongated paraphyses (P). The ascus to the left 
contains ascospores, the others are empty or immature. The 
spores are also shown on the same Plate (S). Mature speci-
