Macrophoma subconica E. & E.—Jour. Mycol. 5 :i47, 1889. 
Mr. Carver has sent what we now refer to this species on the 
following hosts—On Luffa acutangula (dried pericarp), spor. 15- 
22x10-12 u ; on Dolichos sinensis, spor. 15-20x10-11 ju ; on Melia 
azederach; Pelargonium zonale, and Cassia tora, spor. 15-22x5-7 
U ; on Mucuna utilis, spor. 15-18x12-14 ju. 
The perithecia vary from 120-400 u in diameter, with a dis¬ 
tinct conic-papilliform ostiolum, and become depressed and flat¬ 
tened or collapse to concave. The ostiolum is soon deciduous 
leaving the perithecium perforated. 
Aposphaeria turmalis E. & E.—On weatherbeaten wood 
of Diospyros virginiana. 
Perithecia superficial, densely crowded and angular from mu¬ 
tual pressure, forming a continuous crust several centimeters in 
extent, ovate, globose, 300-400 ju diam. with an obscure papilli¬ 
form ostiolum. Sporules ovate or piriform, hyaline, filled with 
small nuclei, 15-20x10-12 ju. 
Dothiorella major E. & E.—On dead stems of Gossypium 
herbaceum. 
Perithecia in clusters of 3-8, stromatically connected and 
surrounded by the ruptured epidermis, with a few scattered singly, 
globose, J-J mm. diam. Sporules oblong-elliptical or ovate, 20- 
22x12 ju, on basidia of about the same length, others (sterile 
basidia) are longer than the sporules and resemble paraphyses. 
D. botryosphaerioides Sacc. on the same host has sporules 
only 8x3 ju„ 
Sphaeropsis grandiflora E. & E.—On dead leaves of Mag¬ 
nolia grandiflora. 
Perithecia scattered quite evenly over the upper side of the 
leaf, raising the cuticle into little pustules, 99-110 u diam., 
perforated at the apex. Sporules oblong-elliptical, 15-20x8-10 /u- 
Sphaeropsis sabalicola Ell. & Carver.—On Sabal andan- 
sonii, Beloit, Ala. 
Perithecia gregarious, 150-200 ji diam., often subseriate, 2-4 
in a short line, splitting the epidermis over them but hardly con¬ 
fluent, suberumpent, finally deciduous. Sporules oblong-elliptical, 
15-22x9-11 ju, on rather slender basidia about as long as the 
spores. 
Sphaeropsis begoniicola E. & E.—On Begonia, cultivated. 
Perithecia hypophyllous, on dead, indefinitely limited areas 
of the leaves, hemispheric-prominent, finally collapsing, large 
(400-50011), carbonaceo-membranaceous, with a distinct tuber- 
culo-papilliform ostiolum. Sporules elliptical, 15-22x12 ju nearly 
hyaline at first, filled with granular matter becoming brown. 
Haplosporella grandinea E. & E.—On dead limbs of Mag¬ 
nolia glauca.
