Phytopathogenic fungi -- Great Britain
=Erysiphe horridula,= Lév. BORAGE BLIGHT; amphigenous; mycelium
web-like, sometimes persistent; conceptacles minute, globose, scattered
or clustered; sporanges 20-24, oblong-ovate, attenuated downwards,
containing 3-4 spores; appendages short, flexuose, and bent upwards.—On
leaves of _Lycopsis arvensis_. Shere. October, 1865. (_Dr. Capron._)
* * * * *
=Chætomium murorum=, Corda. WALL BRISTLE-MOULD; gregarious, glaucous,
then blackish; perithecium globose, brown; hairs circinate, erect,
septate, pulverulent; spores oblong, yellowish. On plaster. Rare. (_M.
J. B._)

ADDENDA.
-------
[The following species have been added to the British Flora since the
publication of the Appendix.]
=Æcidium Parnassiæ=, Grav. PARNASSIA CLUSTER-CUPS; hypophyllous; spots
pallid; peridia in subrotund patches, irregularly disposed,
tawny-yellow, between urceolate and concave; the margin thick and nearly
entire; spores pallid. _Duby. Bot. Gall._ ii. p. 904.—On leaves of
_Parnassia palustris_, near Glasgow. (_Dr. Greville._) The original
specimen is in the Edinburgh Herbarium.
=Æcidium Statices=, Desm. SEA-LAVENDER CLUSTER-CUPS; hypophyllous; spots
subrotund, or confluent and irregular, purple; peridia in subrotund
circinating clusters, sometimes irregularly disposed on the nerves and
petioles; urceolate; margin lacerated, white; spores orange. _Desm.
Exs._ No. 132. _Cooke, Exs._ No. 444.—On leaves and petioles of
_Statices_. June, July. Fleetwood, 1859 (_Rev. A. Bloxam_). Walney
Island, Lancashire, 1871 (_C. Bailey_). Near Basingstoke, 1871 (_R. S.
Hill_). Near Chichester, 1872 (_F. V. Paxton_).
=Chætomium funicolum=, Cooke. TWINE BRISTLE-MOULD; perithecia scattered,
sub-ovate, black; hairs of the vertex very long, dichotomous or simple,
erect, slender, acute, black; sporidia lemon-shaped, dingy brown.—On
twine suspended in a vessel containing water at the British Museum. (_W.
Carruthers, F.R.S._) March, 1872. This species is most closely allied to
_C. elatum_, but much smaller and neater. It is wholly black, and
without the fibrous base of _C. elatum_. The hairs are more delicate,
not having half the diameter, and the sporidia are scarcely more than
half as long or broad. A species of _Polyactis_ afterwards made its
appearance on the same mycelium on some portion of the twine left behind
with a few immature perithecia.
