Conidicil stage—Fusarium sambucinitm (Fckl.) is given by Sac- 
cardo, but this was certainly not the species found by me, and, as 
Tulasne has pointed out, there are probably several species 
found associated with it. 
Spermogonial stage—Phoma pulicaris (Sacc.) is given by Sac- 
cartlo, but I found associated with it a different species with 
punctiform sporules —Phoma punctispora n. sp., Pycnidial stage. 
(Figs. 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136.) 
62. BUDDING OOSPORA. 
(Oospora gemmata , n. sp.) 
Hyphse creeping, hyaline, mouiliform, scanty, average obp. 
broad, bearing conidia laterally and at apex in great abundance. 
Conidia hyaline, elongated cylindrical, rounded at both ends, 
with granular contents, readily separating and budding freely in 
a yenst-like manner, average 13-15 x 4-4.V/1. On Lemon stem. 
Burnley, near Melbourne. 
I have provisionally placed this in the genus Oospora on account 
of the scanty mycelium. Monilia, Candida (Bon) produces conidia 
which bud in a similar manner, but they are only 6-7 p, long* 
(Figs. 137, 138.) 
63. COMPACT CLADOSPORIUM. 
(Cladosporium compaction, Sacc.) 
Forming minute, compact, crowded, punctiform tufts, giving 
dingy appearance to portions of dead twig affected. 
Hyplue densely fasciculate, olivaceous, septate, generally 
simple, occasionally forking towards base, average length 
60-7 op., breadth 5^— 7ip. 
Conidia similarly coloured, elongated-elliptical to fusiform, 
continuous or 1-septate, sometimes 3-septate, scarcely constricted 
at septa, smooth, average 11-13 X 4£-5^i., but may reach a 
length of 21/i., and when a-septate averaging 8 X 4/i. 
On dead twigs of Orange. October, 1898. Armadale, near 
Melbourne. The minute compact punctiform tufts resemble so 
many perithecia just appearing on the surface. It bursts through 
the epidermis and forms a very characteristic compact form on 
the surface. 
It occurs on the leaves of the Lemon in Italy, and while Pro¬ 
fessor Penzig found the tufts superiicial and not eruinpent, the 
sections show that they burst through the outer layer of the 
bark. (Figs. 169, 170, 171.)
