Sub Sphaeria ciliatula Fr. in Soler. Suec. n. 147, nonnullae res contincntur.
In primis Cylosporella sp. (verisimiliter status spermogon. Calosphaeriae i-
psius) et Naemosphaera sp. nova. Propterea Calosphaeria Princeps sub nomine
Sphaeriae pulchellae et sub n. 146, ad Sphaeriam cilialulam est adscribenda,
nam in ÌSetula crescit et Cytosporetlam supradictam, examine microscopico,
refert.
In Sphaeria ciliatula ostioli descrlbuntur nunc breves, nunc longissimi,
Ilexuosi etc, (usque 10 mm. lon g!!!), at re vera ego in speciminibus, collis
brevibus praeditis, originalibus, Karsteanis etc., in Betula crescentibus, numquam
ascos et sporidia inveni, sed aut Cytosporellam praebuerunt, aut steri-
lia. Statum ascophorum in specimine Libertiano (in Herb. Sacc.), quoque in
cortice Beiulae et ad Calosph. Wahlembergii relatum, inveni.
Meo sensu itaque perithecia ostiolis praelongis, capilliformibus in Syllogc
descriptis et in speciminibus originalibus a me observatis, ad Naemosphaeram
supradictam pertinent. Acervuli valsiformes, c peritheciis ostiolis breviusculis
praeditis formati, qui in speciminibus originalibus et in nonnullis aliis obser-
vantur, ad Cytosporellam adscribendi, et demum acervuli valsiformes, e peritheciis
ostiolis elongatis praeditis formati et in Betula crescentes ad Calosphaeriam
cilialulam spectant. Specimina vero Sphaeriae Wahlembergii a cl. Des-
mazières in PI. Crypt. Fr. sub n. 17g edita (saltern quae vidi) ad Metan-
conem slilbostomam pertinent.
Qua de re Cahstphaeria ciliatula tantum in Betula crescit et ad cam adscribenda
sunt specimina omnia in hac planta crescentia, quae in Herbariis
nonnullis sub nomiriibus variis Calosph. Wahlembergii, C. pulchellae, C. prin-
cipis scrvanlLir. Sed his omnibus et Calosph. ciliatula ipsa, anterior est C. pusilla,
quae a typica C. ciliatula vix differret sporidiis parum maioribus et peritheciis
brevius ostiolatis. Species ideo servanda est Calosphaeria pusilla (Cfr.
ctiam Winter 1. c.) et ah ea distinguenda est, ut subspecies, vel varíelas, C.
ciliatula.
