18-25x10-12 p\ on Hemerocallis—asci 90-150x12-15 p spor. 20- 
24x8-10 p; on Polygonum pennsylvanicum—asci 100x15 spor. 
average 15x10 p, 
Phomatospora wistariae E. & E.—On partly dead leaves 
of Wistaria frutescens. 
Perithecia mostly epiphyllous, on small, mostly round, gray 
spots, 2-4 mm. diam., bounded by a narrow dark line; but often 
confluent over a great part of the leaf, subdepressed, membra¬ 
naceous, 110-120 p. Asci oblong, sessile, 35-45x10-12 p, with¬ 
out paraphyses. Sporidia biseriate oblong-elliptical, hyaline, 
rounded at the ends, about 12x6 p. 
Metasphaeria ipomoeae E. & E.—On dead stems of 
Ipomoea. 
Perithecia scattered or 2-3 together, subcuticular, then emer¬ 
gent and mostly collapsing, mm. diam. with a disinct papilli¬ 
form ostiolum. Asci clavate, short-stipitate, 75-90x10-14 p, with 
filiform paraphyses. Sporidia overlapping and crowded, often 
biseriate above, elongate-ovate or broad fusiod-clavate, 3-4 sep¬ 
tate and constricted especially at the next to the upper septum, 
15-25 (mostly about 20) x8-I2 p. 
Comes very near M. kali (Fabr.) according to his descrip¬ 
tion and figure, differing principally in its subaggregated peri¬ 
thecia. 
Metasphaeria carveri E. & E.—On dead stems of Sesa- 
mum orientale, Glycine hispida, Cassia tora and Mucuna utilis. 
Perithecia thickly scattered or gregarious, occasionally ces- 
pitose-conglomerate, semierumpent but mostly remaining cov¬ 
ered by thin cuticule, depressed-hemispherical when fresh, 
wrinkled and collapsed when dry, 120-200 p diam. of thin mem¬ 
branaceous texture, pierced above. Asci oblong, short-stipitate, 
50-55x8-12^-, paraphyses evanescent. Sporidia biseriate, oblong- 
cylindrical, moderately curved, hyaline, 15-20x4-5 p, ends obtuse, 
contents granular, with 3-4 nuclei (becoming 2-3 septate?). 
Has the general appearance of Vermicularia. 
Metapsi-iaeria sanguinea E. & E.—On dead stems of He- 
lenium tenuifolium. 
Perithecia subcuticular, scattered or 2-3 together, membra¬ 
naceous, and finally collapsing, about 200 p diam., raising the 
red-stained cuticle into pustules which are soon ruptured at the 
apex; ostiolum papilliform, inconspicuous. Asci clavate-cylin- 
drical, 50-70x7-8 p, paraphysate. Sporidia biseriate (mostly), 
narrow-elliptical, or subfusoid, hyaline, 4-nucleate, becoming 3- 
septate, 15-18x4 p. 
The perithecia are sparingly clothed with loose, spreading 
blood-colored hyphae 40-80x3 p . 
Botryosphaeria muriculata E. & E.—On dead steams of 
a white berried Smilax.
