80-120x2 [j. .

Pestalozzia batatae E. & E.—On tubers of Batatas eduiis. 
Acervuli raising the cuticle into hemispherical pustules 
which roughen the surface of the tuber. Conidia clavate-oblong, 
20x5-6 fx, terminal cells hyaline, acutely conical, intermediate cells 
brown, apical cell surmounted by a crust of three spreading, hya¬ 
line bristles about 12 u long, pedicels becoming oblique.
