Abstract
The literature concerning Fumago, especially as it involves the hypothesis of the polymorphism of sooty moulds and the relation of Fumago to Capnodium, is briefly discussed. The relevant results of a cultural investigation of sooty mould on Tilia, and of an examination of herbarium specimens labelled Fumago are recorded. The conclusion is reached that the genus Fumago is invalid on the grounds that presumed type material of the lectotype species, F. vagans, consists of two entirely discordant elements.
