The fungus occupies the whole lower surface of the leaves and it 
overspreads them with a white flocculent stratum of its spores. It is 
similar in habit to R. effusum, which attacks the leaves of the common 
huckleberry, Gaylnssacia resinosa. It sometimes kills both leaves and 
twigs. It differs from R. Andromeda in its shorter hyphse, broader 
spores and different habit. 
Verticillium enecans Speg. 
On some unrecognized species of Marasmius. Voorheesville, 
Albany county. August. 
The parasite completely overspreads the host plant with a thin 
white felty covering of its hyphse and soon kills it. 
Cladosporium caricicolum Cd. 
Living leaves of carices. Jordanville. June. 
The leaves in our specimens were attacked near the middle and so 
weakened by the fungus that the apical half had drooped and 
withered.

Dead and languishing leaves of flower-de-luce, Iris Germanica. 
Menands. September. 
Phragmotrichum Chailletii Kzc.

county. July. I am not aware that this interesting and peculiar 
fungus has before been detected in this country.
