Chron. by capitate conidial forms which are not to be distinguished from species of the Hypho- mycetal genus Stilbum. Such species of the Nectrieae are associated under the genus Sphaerostilbe. Other species, formerly united with Nectria, have the perithecia seated upon a more or less byssoid subiculum; these are now separated from that genus, and united under the name of Byssonectria, analogous to the Byssosphaeria of the Sphaeriaceae. In another group, the perithecia, which resemble Nectria, are densely gregarious, and often partially immersed in a velvety subiculum, transformed from the tissues of decaying Fungi. This genus is Hypomyces, each species of which has also a conidial form, which precedes the ascigerous, and corresponds to some genus of the Mucedineae. Some of the species of Nectria and Dialonectria also have conidial forms, which would be referable to the Hyphomycetal genus Fusarium. In these instances we must recognise the relationship between the Hyphomyceteae and the Ascomyceteae, but it would be assuming too much to infer, from a few examples, that all the species of Stilbum, are conidia of Sphaerostilbe, or Tubercularia of Nectria, Isaria of Cordyceps, 1 See Gardener's Chronicle, 28th Jan.
