New Species of Fungi 
15 
Lophiotrema oenotherae E. & E.— Torr. Bull. 24:128. 
1897. Species found at Newfield, N. J., July 1901. Fully ma¬ 
tured, have sporidia distinctly 3-septate or constricted at the 
septa, 15-20x5-6 y. 
Phyllosticta clypeata E. & E.— On living limbs of Pints 
malus. Corvallis, Oregon, May 1902. (A. B. Cordley.) 
Spots discoid or shield-shaped, dull yellowish, J-icm. diam., 
circular or elliptical, closely embraced by the upturned epidermis, 
which, however, soon shrinks away, leaving the margin partially 
free. Perithecia scattered on the spots, depressed-globose, 
slightly prominent, 150-200 y diam. Sporules elliptical or sub- 
globose, hyaline, 3^-4x2^~3 y. 
Apparently very injurious to the trees. 
Phyllosticta virginica E. & E.— In N. A. F. 2830; is 
doubtless only a form of P. destruens Desm. This fact was rec¬ 
ognized in preparing the copy for the “North American Phyllos- 
tictas,” as shown by the reference under P. destruens on p. 15, 
but through some oversight was not fully explained and corrected. 
In the North American Phyllostictas, under Phyllosticta des¬ 
truens, add 2676 to the N. A. F. reference;, and under P. vulgaris 
cancel the Syn. Phoma virginiana and the reference to N. A. F. 
2830. 
Puccinina circinans E. & E.— Bull. Torr. Bot. Club. 
Feb. 1900, p. 61. 
Change this to Puccinia chasmatis E. & E. There is already 
a Puccinia circinans Fckl. Symb. p. 53. 
Venturia rubicola E. & E.—On dead canes of Rubus occi- 
dentalis, Tacoma Park, D. C. Oct. 1900. (C. L. Shear, 903.) 
Perithecia thickly scattered; subcuticular, membranaceous, 
or rather coarse cellular texture, pierced above, 80-110 y diam., 
tardily rupturing the cuticle and suberumpent, finally collapsing, 
surrounded by a ring or fringe of short, black continuous bris¬ 
tles mostly a little curved, 20-40x3 y . Asci sessile aparaphysate, 
oblong, 50-60x10-12 y. Sporidia crowded-biseriate, oblong- 
elliptical, biguttulate (becoming unseptate?) hyaline, 12-15X 
6-8 \y . 
Differs from V. kunzei Sacc. on Rubus caesius in its cauli- 
colous growth and large asci and sporidia. 
Hypocopra kansensis E. & E.— On cow dung. Rooks Co., 
Kansas. May 1901. (Bartholomew, 2871.) 
Perithecia ovate, f-i mm. high, J-f mm. broad, entirely sunk 
in the stroma except the erumpent, hemispherical, soon perfor¬ 
ated ostiola; stroma 1-2 mm. diam., black on the surface, inside 
about the same color as the matrix, slightly convex, often con¬ 
fluent for 1 cm. or more. Asci cylindrical, p. sp., 200-230 x 
25-30 thin, septate; sporidia obliquely; paraphyses stout, 4-5 y
