S. seminata (B. and Rav.). Sace. Syll. Fung. 1., 543. Scattered,

ROSELLINIA. 
R. seriata, Che. and Mass. Perithecia globose, glabrous, black, about 
05 mm. diameter, growing in single or double rows, almost superficial. 
Asci cylindrical, 8-spored. Spores 1-seriate, continuous, brown, elliptical, 
/ 10-12 x 4-5 p. 
Hab. : On rotten wood, Gladfields, C. J. Guyther. Notice in Bot. Bull, VIIL., the descrip-

 GLEOSPORIUM, Mont. 
G. Kurzeanum, Wiess?. Sace. in Syil. Fung. I11., 705. ° Pustules loosely 
gregarious, innato-erumpent, of a dirty rosy-brown, small; conidia oblong- 
cylindrical 18 x 4, curved or nearly straight, binucleate, hyaline ; basidia 
rod-like, almost equal in length to the conidium, hyaline, arising from a brown 
proliferous stratum. 
Hab.: On the lower parts of the stems of a variety of Lathyrus latifolius (everlasting pea) ; 
growing in a garden in Brisbane. It is not unlikely but what this fungus may be found to attack 
some of the economic plants in cultivation belonging to Lathyrus and allied genera. 
When first observed the following might be applied to the diseased plants :—Wash with 
water in which sulphate of iron has been dissolved—say about 2 Ib. of the sulphate in 5 gallons of 
ater.
