NEW SPECIES OF FUNGI FROM VARIOUS LOCALITIES. 
J. B. ELLIS AND B. M. EVERHART. 
Aecidium jacouemontiae E. & E. On leaves of Jacque- 
montia pentantha. Yucatan, Mexico. Com. Dr. Chas. F. 
Millspaugh, No. 1192. 
Amphigenous, evenly scattered; aecidia hemispheric-erum- 
pent, then flattened at the apex, finally open, deep cup-shaped 
with the margin erect and soon entire, about i mm. diam., nearly 
slate color inside when dry, (color when fresh not seen) ; spores 
globose or angular, about 12 u diam. or ovate or elliptical, 
12-15x10-12 /z, epispore thin, contents granular, component cells 
of the aecidia subelliptical, about 15 u diam. 
Cannot be the aecidium of Puccinia opulenta Speg. which 
has the aecidia in hypophyllous groups. 
Dothiorella radicans E. & E.— On dead stems of Rhus 
toxicodendron (the climbing var. radicans). Newfield, N. J. 
May 20, 1900. 
Stromata small, about 1 mm. diam., bursting through the 
cuticle in a subseriate manner and confluent for 2-3 mm. Per- 
ithecia 3-12 in a stroma or sometimes scattered singly, hemis¬ 
pheric-prominent, about 1-3 mm. diam., rounded and obtuse at 
the apex, ostiolum inconspicuous; sporules ovate, pale, yellowish- 
brown, 10-13x5-6 a; basidia slender, about as long as the spores. 
This differs from D. rhoina E. & E. (Torr. Bull. 27:55. 1900) 
principally in its sporules nearly twice as large.
