	abstract = {<p>Four 17th\&nbsp;and early 18th\&nbsp;Century examples of illustrations of\&nbsp;Xylaria\&nbsp;species are presented. One of the earliest illustrations of a\&nbsp;Xylaria\&nbsp;species is that in Mentzel{\textquoteright}s\&nbsp;Pugillus rariorum plantarumpublished in 1682 and which Fries referred to\&nbsp;Sphaeria polymorpha. An 1711 illustration by Marchant is noteworthy in the detail of the observations; perithecia and ascospores are noted and illustrated. Marchant considered this fungus to be related to marine corals. The plate was subsequently redone and incorporated by Micheli in his 1729 publication,\&nbsp;Nova plantarum genera; this Micheli plate was listed by Fries under a different species,\&nbsp;Sphaeria digitata. Although Fries mentions several illustrations ofSphaeria hypoxylon\&nbsp;not all the sources he cited contain illustrations. The earliest illustration associated\&nbsp;with this species that was located is Micheli{\textquoteright}s in 1729. These illustrations are included along with\&nbsp;discussion of the authors and books in which the illustrations appear.</p>},
