Septotinia, A New Genus of the Ciborioideae

Abstract

Among the many species commonly referred to Ciboria or Sclerotinia are several other groups having well-marked generic characters which wTarrant their segregation under new generic names, for example those species having a conidial stage of the Botrytis cinerea type. The genus to be described in this paper is characterized by a type of conidial fructification heretofore entirely unsuspected as belonging to an apothecial fungus. The apothecial stage, here for the first time reported, is typical of the Ciborioideae.2 But one species of this genus is at present known to the author.
