 TAB. CCCLXXIX.

October 29, 1799, T. A. Knight, Esq. favoured me with some apple-tree leaves, some of which were disordered, and covered with a very fine white powder, others more or less clothed in patches with dark brown particles, scarcely discernible to the naked eye. Their form was somewhat ovate, but irregular. Whether these are capsules or feeds it is undetermined. Mr. Knight observed, that on shaking the leaf over a piece of talc or glass he detected little oval bodies which shrivelled a little in drying. Some of these were transferred to other trees, and the disorder along with each, every one producing its own species.

I HAVE found this in great abundance on sticks in Hornsey wood. It forms minute, round, scattered granules.

EXTREMELY common in every herbarium on the dried plants, being formed of very compact dense granules of a sulphur colour.

THIS consists of somewhat spongy-looking brown granules. Found on dead willows.

FORMS little granules seemingly mixed with woolly fibres and covered with other loose fibres. It also has a blackish knob at the base, and may be met with on damp paper. TAB. CCCLXXX.

on French berries. The substance somewhat dense and brittle, throughout of a lightish crimson; a loose brownish wool lying about each mass.
