In such genera as are chiefly epiphytal, in Septoria, Phyllosticta, and their allies, the minute spores are enclosed within membranaceous perithecia, and when mature these are ejected from the orifice at the apex, or are exposed by the break- ing off of the upper portion of the perithecia.

In Diplodia and Hendersonia the spores are larger, mostly coloured, often very fine in the latter genus* and multiseptate, escaping from the perithecia by a terminal pore. Probably the species are only pyc- nidia of Sphariacei, but that is of no consequence in relation to our present inquiry. Of stylospores which deserve mention on Fia. 50.—Spores of silo- account of their singu- plmpoi-agmminti. larity of formj we may note those of DilopJiospora grwminis, which are straight, and have two or three hair-like appendages at each extremity. In Discosia there is a single oblique bristle _ at each end, or at the side of the septate spores, whilst in Neottiospora a tuft of.
