NEW ALABAMA FUNGI 
BY J. B. ELLIS AND B. M. EVERHART. 
The following fungi were collected in the vicinity of Tus- 
kegee, Alabama, by George W. Carver, Director of the Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture and Agricultural Experiment Station at 
Tuskegee, Ala. 
Phyllosticta richardsoniae E. & E.—On leaves of Rich- 
ardsonia scabra, Tuskegee, Ala. Aug. 1901. 
Perithecia amphigenous, on irregularly shaped, dirty white 
spots and bleached areas of the leaves, mostly occupying and 
killing the tips of the leaves, perithecia scattered, globose, 80-110 
n. diam., pierced above. Sporules oblong-elliptical, abundant, 
4xiJ n . 
Phoma apocrypta E. & E.—On dead stems of Phytolacca 
decandra, Tuskegee, Ala. Oct. 1900 (Carver 704). 
Perithecia subcuticular, raising the epidermis into little pus¬ 
tules pierced by the subconical ostiolum, globose, 150-200 diam., 
scattered or often three or more approximated, or sometimes 
seriately arranged and splitting the epidermis in clefts or cracks 
2-3 mm. in length. Sporules elliptical or ovoid, 1-2 nucleate, 
with a slight smoky tinge, 3-4x1 \-2 
Its much smaller sporules as well as its pseudo-stromatic 
habit will separate it from P. herbarum West, and from P. 
phytolaccae B. & C. May be the spermogonial stage of Diaporthe 
aculeata Schw. 
Phoma zeicola E .& E.—Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 27:573. 
1900. Specimens recently sent show that the perithecia appear at 
first on definite, pallid spots, which finally become confluent.
