Thickened black wrinkled spots appear frequently on living leaves of various species of willow, Salix Caprea, S. cinerca, etc., also on some alpine willows, S. reticulata. These contain apothecia of this fungus, which reach their full maturity during the second summer. ' Dyscomycopsis rhyttsmoides Ablill. Black spots similar to those of Rhytiama appear on the leaves of sj-camore. The black crusts are here only subcuticular and enclose a transparent tissue from which large spherical spores are produced. The systematic position of this fungus is unknown.
