    AscornoKE.—Peritlaccia produced amongst the conidiophorous threads, numerous, black, shining, globose, scarcely papillate; ftsci linear-clavato ; sporidia straight,oblong-lanceolate,pellucid, with two or three nucleoli, at length biseptate.—B. Sf Br. Outl. p. 395. Chcetosphceria innumera, Tul. Carp. ii. p. 253. On wood. Sporidia OlS m.m. long, 004 m.m. thick. 2579. Sphaeria botxyosa. Fr. Granular Spha3ria. Csespitose or conglomerated, rounded; perithecia globose, connate, rugose, opaque, black, depressed at the apex; asci clavate, containing an indefinite number of very minute gran- ules.—Fr. S.M. \\.p. 342. Fries, exs. no. 112. Curr. Linn. Trans. xxii. t. 46, f. 46. Fckl. exs. no. 959. Hypoxylon hotrys, Nke. Pyr. Germ. p. 34. Fcld. Sym. Myc.p. 234. Granules colourless, about (-0001 in.) -0025 m.m., endowed with Brownian motion. T should have doubted these granules being true sporidia, but I find this fruit coinciding exactly with that of authentic specimens from the Scleromycetes suecice. Fries considers the plant a Splueria, with confluent peri- thecia, but not an Hyfoxylonr—F.C Nitschke calls the syondiaovate, ob- tuse, unequilateral. 2580. Sphaeria pomiformis. Pers, Apple-shaped Sphaeria. Eather small, black; perithecia apple-shaped, even, with an impressed ring round the papillajform ostiolum ; sporidia ovate, or ovate-oblong, obtuse, bilocular, slightly constricted, hyaline, or pale brown.—Pers.

On dead wood. [Low. Carolina.] Perithecia globose, rather thin, but slightly rigid, and in consequence collapsed only at the apex. 2581. Sphseria rhytidodes. B. 4- Br. Sulcate Sphsria. Gregarious, black; perithecia seated on a spot-like mycelium, subglobose, rugoso-sulcate ; ostiola papilteform ; asci elonga ted; sporidia biseriate 3-6 septate, torulose.—5. ^ Br. Ann.
