NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF LEPIOTA.

BY A. P. MORGAN.

(^Concluded frotn page 203.)

VIII. HIATULOIDES. Pileus suhmemhranaceous, thin,
soft and Hexible, umhonate; the Hesh well nigh obsolete except
beneath the central disc; the dermis radintely Hbrillose and pli-
cate-sulcate often to the umbo; the cuticle separating into scales.
Stipe slender and sometimes much elongated, fistulous and fra-
gile, subglabrous; the annulus thin and membranaceous.

A tribe of many species taking its name from Lepiota
hiatuloides Speg. Like the genus Hiatula to which it is related,
its members abound in tropical regions ; in colder climates some
of them appear in greenhouses, on hot beds and in similar situa-
tions.

a. Pileus white with pallid or brozvnish scales.

60. LEPIOTA FARINOSA Peck, 43 N. Y. Rep. 1889.
Pileus submembranaceous, oblong-ovoid then campanulate
and expanded, umbonate, the dermis white beneath the cuticle,
flocculose-farinaceous, plicate-sulcate around the margin ; the cu-
ticle thin, whitish or pale alutaceous, at first continuous, very soon
separating into small scales except upon the umbo, which at
length are widely scattered and deciduous. Stipe tapering up-
ward from a clavate base, more or less elongated and flexuous,
hollow, white, subglabrous ; the annulus a thin membrane, sub-
O persistent. Lamellae rather narrow, close, free, white ; spores
22 elliptic-ovoid, sometimes oblique, 8-10x5-7 mic. uniguttulate.
I Caespitose ; growing on old manure heaps, in the rich soil

<^ of gardens, etc. Boston, Mass., Forster; Preston, O. Common

2 fournal of Mycology [Vol. 13

and abundant. Pileus 5-8 cm. in diameter; the stipe 6-10 cm.
in height, 3-5 mm. thick at the apex and 7-12 mm. thick below.
Probably confused generally with Lepiota cretacea from which
it seems'to differ chiefly in the pale color of the cuticle.

61. LEPIOTA MASTOIDEA. Agaricus mastoideus
Fries, Syst. Myc. I. 1821, based on a figure and description
OF Battarra, Fungi Arim. 1755; A. (Lepiota) subremotus
B. & C, Ann. and Mag. N. H. 1859.

Pileus submembranaceous, at first elliptic-ovoid then cam-
panulate and explanate, abruptly umbonate; the dermis radiately
fibrillose, plicate-sulcate around the margin, beneath the cuticle
snow-white ; the cuticle whitish or drab, gradually separating
into minute scales and warts, except upon the umbo. Stipe tap-
ering upward from a bulbous base, slender, fistulous, whitish,
subglabrous, the annulus thin, membranaceous. Lamellae rather
narrow, close, white, free and remote from the stipe ; spores ellip-
tic-ovoid, 7-9 X 5-6 mic, uniguttulate.

Subcaespitose ; growing in rich soil about old stumps in
woods. New England, Sprague: Miami Valley, O., Lea, Mor-
gan. Pileus 6-8 cm. in diameter; the stipe 7-10 cm. in length,
3-4 mm. thick at the apex and 5-8 mm. thick at the base. Mr.
Lea's specimens were found at Waynesville ; my figures were
made in Dayton (1878) ; I have specimens collected about Pres-
ton ; so the plant is an undoubted native to this region. A.
(Amanita) umbonatus Schumacher, En. PI. Saellandiae, the
pileus furnished with brownish scales, is described by Berkeley
and figured by Cooke under the name Agaricus mastoideus.
Lepiota subremota "entirely yellow or white," Bull. Cornell Uni-
versity, Vol. in. No. I, should have had another name and been
described.

62. LEPIOTA RUGULOSA Peck, Bull. Torr. Club,
1900.

Pileus submembranaceous, broadly convex or nearly plane,
umbonate ; the dermis radiately fibrillose, plicate-rugulose, all
white, the cuticle at length breaking up into minute fibrous scales.
Stipe slender, nearly equal, fistulous, rufescent beneath the white
silkv-fibrillose cuticle ; the annulus membranaceous, subpersistent,
white. Lamellae narrow, close, free, white ; spores elliptic-oblong,
6-8x4-5 mic.

Growing on the ground in woods. Washington, D. C. Mrs.
Williams; Preston, O. Pileus 1-2 cm. in diameter, the stipe
2-3 cm. long and 2-3 mm. thick. I find this among undetermined
specimens of 1896; it makes beautiful specimens; my notes do
not add much to Prof. Peck's description.

Flora Carn. 1772; Amanita petiolo procero, annulato^ in

ACETABULUM PILE! IMMISSO, ETC., HaLLER, HiST. StIRP. HeL-
VETIAE, 1768.

Pileus fleshy, ovoid then campanulate and expanded, um-
bonate; the flesh thick, soft, white, deeply impressed around the
apex of the stipe ; the dermis beneath the cuticle radiately fibril-
lose and rufescent ; the cuticle thick, at first smooth and continu-
ous, rufous to umber in color, at length torn asunder, except
upon the umbo, into large irregular scales which become scat-
tered and gradually fall away. Stipe tall, tapering upward from
a bulbous base, fistulous, fibrous-stuffed; the cuticle thin, floe-
culose, rufous or brownish, at length drawn apart into minute
scales ; the annulus thick, soft, subcoriaceous, mobile, raised
high upon the stipe. Lamellae broad, close, white or pinkish,
tapering slightly inward, free and remote from the apex of the
stipe; spores elliptic or obovoid, apiculate, 14-18x9-11 mic. with
one or more oily guttulae.

Solitary or gregarious, growing in meadows, pastures and
open woods. Recorded from all parts of N. America. Pileus
8-16 cm. in diameter; the stipe 15-25 cm. in height, the bulbous
base 2-3 cm. in thickness, tapering upward from 12-16 mm. below
to 8-12 mm. at the apex. A splendid Agaric, known from the
earliest times and found in all the countries of the earth.

75. LEPIOTA RHACODIOIDES P. Hennings, in
Engl. Bot. Jahrb, 1901 ; Sylloge XVII, 3.

Pileus fleshy, campanulate-explanate, obtusely umbonate,
covered as far as the middle with scattered, broad, brown, mem-
branaceous scales, around the margin even, glabrous, whitish.
Stipe very tall arising from a bulbous base, cylindric, even,
glabrous, whitish or brownish; the annulus thick, mobile. La-
mellae free, close, lanceolate, whitish; spores elliptic, 12-17 x
8-10 mic. uniguttulate.

Growing among old leaves. Pileus 15-20 cm. in diameter;
the stipe 20-30 cm. in height, the bulbous base 3-4 cm. in thick-
ness, tapering upward to 2-3 cm. The pileus lacks the umbo of
L. procera and appears to be covered all over with the brown
shaggy scales, which at length are deciduous around the margin
and quite to the middle. This or a similar plant is reported from
western New York by Prof. Peck in the 48 N. Y. Report; it is
probably to be met with elsewhere. It differs from Lepiota
rhacodes in having the spores of L. procera.

76. LEPIOTA RHACODES Vittadini, Fung. mang.
1835 ; Stevenson, Brit. Fungi; Cooke, Illustr. Pl. 22.

Pileus fleshy, at first globose then convex and explanate or
slightly depressed ; the flesh very thick, soft, white changing
immediately to saflfron-red when cut or broken ; the dermis
fibrillose-tomentose beneath the cuticle ; cuticle thick, smooth,
bay-brown, at first continuous, soon cracking and becoming re-
ticulate, then separating into large irregular scales, which are
drawn apart and persist upon the surface. Stipe tapering upward
from a bulbous base, thick, stout, fistulous, fibrous-stuffed,
smooth and glabrous, whitish ; the annulus thick, mobile, fibrous-
lacerate. Lamellae broad, close, whitish or pinkish, tapering
inward and remote from the apex of the stipe ; spores elliptic-
ovoid, 10-12x6-8 mic.

Solitary or subcaespitose ; growing in rich soil in fields and
woods. Reported from various parts of the country from New
England to the Pacific coast ; but it is certainly rare. Pileus 10-
15 cm. in diameter; the stipe 12-20 cm. long and 1-2 cm. thick
above the very thick bulbous base.

-jj. LEPIOTA MORGANI, Agaricus Morgani Peck,
Botanical Gazette, 1879.

Pileus fleshy, at first globose then convex and expanded;
the flesh thick, firm, white, deeply impressed around the apex
of the stipe ; the dermis white beneath the cuticle, radiately
fibrillose; the cuticle at first continuous, buff to pale umber,
soon broken up, except in the center, into irregular scales and
patches, which are gradually drawn apart and at length are
more or less deciduous. Stipe hard and firm, tapering upward
from a thickened base, with a narrow tubule, fibrous-stuffed, the
surface glabrous, buif to pale umber; annulus thick, soft, sub-
coriaceous, mobile, raised high upon the stipe. Lamellae rather
broad, ventricose, close, remote from the stipe, at first white
then changing to a greenish hue, at length dull green ; spores
in mass at first bright green, fading to dull green ; with age
becoming sordid, subelliptic, obliquely apiculate, 9-11x6-8 mic,
with a large guttule.

Gregarious ; growing in meadows, pastures and open
woods ; sometimes seen grouped in large rings. Met with
throughout the Mississippi Valley from Michigan to the Gulf
States and from Pennsylvania westward to Kansas and Nebraska,
Pileus 10-20 cm. in diameter, the stipe 15-20 cm. in height, 1-2
cm. thick at the apex and 2-4 cm. thick at the base.

h. Lcpiotae of s)iiall size; the annulus thin memhranaceous,
and not easily movable.

78. LEPIOTA AMERICANA Peck, 49 N. Y. Rep. 1895 ;
Agaricus americanus Peck, 23 N. Y. Rep, 1870.

Pileus fleshy, ovoid then campanulate and expanded, um-
bonate; the flesh thin, white, reddening when cut or broken; the
dermis radiately fibrillose beneath the cuticle and at first white;
the cuticle brick-color or bay-brown, at first continuous, soon
breaking up except upon the umbo into small scales, which are
gradually drawn apart and scattered over the surface. Stipe
tapering upward from a base m.ore or less thickened and elon-
gated, fistulous, smooth and glabrous, white, reddening when
handled ; ' the annulus thin, membranaceous. Lamellae rather
narrow, close, free, white; the spores subelliptic, 8-10x5-7 mic.
uniguttulate.

Solitary or subcaespitose ; growing in rich soil in grassy
grounds or around old stumps, Eastern U. S. west to Michigan
and Ohio, south to Alabama. Pileus 5-10 cm. in diameter; the
stipe 8-12 cm. in length, 4-6 mm. thick at the apex, 8-12 mm,
thick at the swollen base. When young and growing the whole
plant except the epidermis of the pileus is white, but when
handled or in drying it assumes a dull reddish or smoky-red
color. It is quite probable that Agaricus Badhami B. & Br,
catalogued by Sprague. Proc. Soc. N. H|., Boston, 1859, was
based upon specimens of this plant.

79. LEPIOTA CALOCEPS Atkinson, Journal My-
cology, 1902.

Pileus fleshy, ovoid then convex and expanded ; the flesh
thick, firm, white ; the dermis with a brownish or tawny-oliva-
ceous cuticle, at first continuous, at length cracking and separat-
ing into rectan.f^ular or nearly square areas. Stipe arising from
a bulbous base, fistulous, white above, dull flesh-color below,
covered up to the annulus by angular patches of the dermis simi-
lar to those on the pileus. Lamellae rather narrow, close, free,
dingy white ; spores elliptic-oblong, obliquely apiculate, 6-8 x
■2.5-3.0 mic.

Gregarious ; growing on the ground in woods. New York,
Atkinson. Pileus 4-8 cm. in diameter, the stipe 6-10 cm. in
height and 6-10 mm. thick. It is possible this species belongs
more properly in the Clypeolariae.

Pileus fleshy, ovoid then convex and expanded, subumbo-
nate ; the flesh thick, soft, white, impressd around the apex of
the stipe ; the dermis white-fibrillose beneath the cuticle ; the cuti-
cle thin, firm, whitish or sometimes dusky in the center, splitting

and peeling up around the margin or breaking away in scales,
sometimes altogether persistent. Stipe arising from a slightly
thickened or bulbous base, fistulous, fibrous-stuffed, white, smooth
and glabrous ; the annulus firm, membranaceous. Lamellae broad,
close, white, tapering inward and remote from the stipe ; spores
elHptic-oblong, 14-16x9-11 mic.

Growing in pastures and fields. New England, Frost; N.
Carolina, Curtis; Alabama, Atkinson; Pacific Coast Cat. Pileus
5-7 cm. in diameter, the stipe 6-8 cm. long and 6-10 mm. thick.
Withering and Persoon considered this species to be a small form
of Lepiota procera ; the size of the spores lends countenance to
this opinion.

81. LEPIOTA NAUCINOIDE§, Agaricus naucinoides
Peck, 29 N. Y. Rep. 1876; Agaricus naucinus Peck, 23 N. Y.
Ref. 1870; Morgan, Myc. Flora M. V.

Pileus fieshy, subovoid and obtuse, then convex, expanded
and explanate, subumbonate ; the flesh thick, white ; the dermis a
thin membrane, white or smoky white, its surface commonly
smooth and glabrous, but sometimes the cuticle breaks up into
very minute fibrillose scales. Stipe tapering upward from a cla-
vate base, fistulous, fibrous-stuffed, white, smooth and glabrous
or becoming slightly fibrillose toward the base ; the annulus thin,
membranaceous, white, persistent. Lamellae broad, close, free,
white, after maturity slowly changing in color to a dull livid ;
spores elliptic-ovoid, 8-9 x 5-6 mic. uniguttulate.

Gregarious ; growing in grassy grounds, pastures, roadsides,
etc. Eastern U. S. westward to Kansas. Pileus 4-8 cm. in diam-
eter; the stipe 8-12 cm. in height, 6-12 mm. thick at the apex, 1-2
cm. thick at the base. European writers evidently confuse two
species. Agaricus naucinus of Fries, and Berkeley, is A. sphae-
rosporus Krombliz. Lepiota naucina Bresadola, Fung. Mang.
is A. naucinoides Peck. Agaricus naucinus with spherical spores

82. LEPIOTA SOLIDIPES Peck, 52 N. Y. Rep. 1898.

Pileus fleshy, subhemispheric then convex and nearly plane ;
the flesh thick white ; the dermis a continuous membrane, the
surface smooth and glabrous, white sometimes with a slight pink-
ish tint. Stipe nearly equal or somewhat bulbous, solid, whitish,
silky-fibrillose ; the annulus thin, subevanescent. Lamellae close,
free, white ; spores subglobose, 4-5 mic. in diameter.

Growing in damp or swampy ground. New York, Peck.

THE RUSTS OF GUATEMALA.*

FRANK D. KERN.

Two botanical excursions have been made to Guatemala,
Central America, by Professor W. A. Kellerman ; one during the
months of January, February and March, 1905, and another dur-
ing- the corresponding season of 1906. The principal object of
the trips was to secure collections of parasitic fungi, but a large
amount of material which will serve to illustrate the general
botanical character of the country was brought back. The trips
covered the territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, special
attention being given to collecting in the higher altiudes of the
intervening mountainous and volcanic regions.

Professor Kellerman has very generously sent much of his
material to a number of workers for identification and study, the
collections of rusts with some notes having been placed in the
hands of the writer. The present communication is a report
of the studies upon the larger portion of the material. There still
remain a number of specimens, some of which may be unde-
scribed, but concerning which no definite conclusions have yet
been reached. In all determinations and in the drawing up of
descriptions of new species the writer has been aided by Prof. J.
C. Arthur and enjoyed the privilege of access to his herbarium
and library.

In many instances new hosts have been added and the geo-
graphical distribution has often been extended. It has been
found necessary to describe several species as new. Perhaps the
most notable single collection is the Aecidium on Byrsonima
crassifolia. The species are distributed among all the larger
groups of the Uredinales.

another species of RavcncUa, R. papillifcra Syd. on Cassia biflora
from Bahama Islands, collected by J. J. and A. R. Northrop, but
this material has since been examined by X. L. Britton, of the
New York Botanical Garden, who reports that it is Cassia an-

A common species in the North American tropics wherever
this host occurs. The type of R. Huniphrcyana was said to be
on Cassia sp., but a careful examination shows that it is undoubt-
edly Poinciana pulcherrima. As pointed out by W. H. Long
(Jour. Myc. 12:236 1906), Ravenelia pulcherrima Arth. is a
synonym of R. Humphreyana.

of this number was determined by John Donnell Smith.

11. PUCCINIOSIRA BRICKELLIAE Diet. & Holw. —
On BrickelUa cavanillesii Gray (host no. 5198), Volcano Cerro
Ouemado, Depart. Quezaltenango, Feb. 8, 1906, no. 5448.

This species has previously been known only from Mexico.
J. M. Greenman, who examined the host, is somewhat doubtful
about the specific determination.

12. PUCCINIOSIRA PALLIDULA (Speg.) Lagerh. —
On Triumfetta sp. (host no. 4584). Guatemala, Depart. Guate-
mala, alt. 1465 m., Feb. 3, 1905, no. 4608.

tomentosa Willd. (host no. 5234), Guatemala, Depart. Guatemala,
alt. 1465 m., Feb. 2, 1905, no. 5304.

This host was submitted to John Donnell Smith, who applied
the above specific name with an indication that it is not a typical
specimen.

Jan. 1907] The Rusts of Guatemala 21

Although all previous collections of this species have been
on Celosia, these specimens on Iresine agree so well with the type
specimen, and the similarity between the hosts is so great, that
they are placed here without hesitation. The hosts have been
detenmined by J. N. Rose and W. A. Kellerman.

15. UROMYCES HELLERIANA Arth. — On Cayaponia

Laguna, Depart. Amatitlan, alt. 1200 m., Feb. 11, 1905, no. 4348,
Jan. 20. 1906. no. 5437.

This species is morphologically very similar to Puccinia
Gonolohi Rav., but differs in its habits of growth, spreading
evenly over the surface, extending to the young shoots and some-
times forming witches' brooms, while in P. Gonolobi the sori are
in small groups.

18. PUCCINIA TITHONIAE Diet. & Holw. — On Ti-
thonia ttibaefonnis Cass, (host no. 4374, det. by John Donnell
Smith), Guatemala, Depart. Guatemala, alt. 1465 m., Feb. 3, 1905,

no.) no. 5373: San Filipe, alt. 615 m., Depart. Retalhuleu, Feb.
4, 1906, no. 5446.

This species is very similar in the uredinial and telial stages
to Puccinia conoclinii Seym, and has about the same host dis-
tribution. It may be distinguished by its larger spores, the
thicker walls and more pronounced umbo of the teliospores.

Jan. 1907] The Rusts of Guatemala 23

The hosts of the first three collections were determined by
John Donnell Smith, that of the last collection by J. M. Green-
man. Only urediniospores could be found on any of the collec-
tions of Hyptis. Two collections, one on Hyptis urticioides, and
one on H. lilacina, are not included here, as they differ in having
urediniospores with more dense and finer markings and several
scattered pores. These have not been assigned to any species.

32. PUCCINIA HELIOTROPII Kern & Kellerm. sp. nov.

III. Telia hypophyllous, gregarious, densely crowded in
orbicular groups, 1.5-4 mm. across, often confluent, round, small,
0.1-0.2 mm. across, early naked, pulverulent, chestnut-brown,
becoming cinereous by germination, ruptured epidermis incon-
spicuous ; teliospores oblong, rounded or obtuse above, usually
narrowed below, 14-10 x 30-40 /a, somewhat constricted at sep-
tum, wall pale cinnamon-brown, thin, about i yu,, thicker at apex
(2-4 /a), smooth; pedicel colorless, about half length of spore.

On Heliotropmrn indicum L. (host no. 4372), Gualan, De-
part. Zacapa, alt. 122 m.. Mar. 12, 1905, no. 4326 (type) and Dec.
30, 1905, no. 5422.

Host no. 4372 was determined by John Donnell Smith and
the same collection also bears aecia which without doubt belong
to an entirely distinct species of rust. This species is of the or-
dinary leptopuccinia type. It differs from Puccinia heliotropi-
cola Speg. by the longer and more oblong spores with a thickened
apex.

33. PERIDERMIUM GRACILE Arth. & Kern.— On
Pinus aiifolia Lindl., Antigua, Depart. Sacatepequez, Feb. 13,
1905, nos. 4626, 5355, 5324.

One of the above collections (host) was submitted to C. S.
Sargent for identification, the others have been determined by
comparison. The type of the species was on the same host from
Oaxaca, Mexico.

34. AECIDIUM CISSI Wint.— On Cissus sicyoides L,
(host no. 5223, det. by J. M. Greenman), Gualan, Depart. Zacapa

O. Pycnia epiphyllous, gregarious, abundant on discolored
spots opposite the aecia, inconspicuous, punctiform, subepidermal,
becoming dark brown, globoid, 100-115/A wide, 80-105/^ high; os-
tiolar filaments up to 6.Sju, long.

24 Journal oj Mycology [Vol. 13

I. Aiecia hypophyllous, gregarious, numerous on indefinite
discolored spots, 0.5-1.5 cm. across, especially extending along the
veins, short, 0.2-0.3 mm. in diameter ; peridium white, margin
erect, slightly erose, peridial cells rhomboidal, 15-25/^ long, some-
what overlapping, walls of equal thickness 2-4/^, inner moderately
verrucose, outer smooth, transversely striate ; aeciospores globoid.
16-18 X 18-231U,, wall colorless, thin, about ijx, finely and incon-
spicuously verrucose.

On HcUotropinm indicum L (host no. 4372), Gualan, Depart.
Zacapa, alt. 122 m.. Mar. 12, 1905, no. 4326.

The specimens from which this species is described are a
part of the same collection from which Puccinia Hcliotropii sp.
nov. is described in this paper. In gross appearance and habit of
growth this species differs from Aecidium Heliotropii Tr. & Gal.
zndAccidkim bi forme Peck. It may possibly be identical with
Aecidium heliotropidatum Schw. of which no specimens have
been examined. The description, however, indicates a distinct
difiference in the distribution on the leaf surface and in the man-
ner of development in the groups.

36. AECIDIUM BYRSONIMAE Kern & Kellerm. sp. nov.

0. Pycnia amphigenous and caulicolous, preceding or
among the aecia, numerous, evenly scattered over the hj'pertro-
phied leaves and branches, conspicuous, subcuticular, becoming
chestnut-brown, conical, large, 1 50-200^11 broad, by 75-851U, high;
ostiolar filaments wanting.

1. Aecia amphigenous and caulicolous, from an unlimited
mycelium causing extensive hypertrophy, numerous, scattered
often crowded, cylindrical, long, deep-seated, 0.5-0.7 mm. in diam.
by 1-1.5 mm. high; peridium white, margin erose, somewhat re-
curved, often deeply torn, peridial cells rhomboidal, overlapping
35-50/1 long, outer wall 3-4^^ thick, smooth, inner wall 5-7/i. thick,
coarsely verrucose. transversely striate ; aeciospores angularly
oval or oblong, often truncate at base, and narrowed above,
26-35X 39-57/Jt. wall pale yellow, coarsely verrucose, thick (3-5/t)
much thicker above (5-15/x,).

On Byrsoniina crassifoUa (L.) H. B. K. (host no. 4368),
Sierra de las Minas, Depart. Baja Verapaz, alt. 615 m., Mar
10, 1905. no. 4325.

An interesting species because of the hypertrophy it produces.
the prominent subcuticular pycnia, and the long and numerous
aecia, but especially on account of the very odd spores, which are

Jan. 1907] The Rusts of Guntemala 25

exceedingly large, with coarsely marked thick walls, much thick-
ened above. The characters of the pycnia and eacia are so un-
like those of autoecious species on Malpighiaceae that it is as-
sumed to be heteroecious. The fact that the pychia are sugcuti-
•cular indicates that it does not belong to the Uromyces-Puccinia
group but to some genus of the Raveneliatae or Uropyxidatae
Both host and fungus of a specimen in the New York Botanical
Garden, collected at Rancho Guerro, Jalisco, Mexico, June 15
1892, by M. E. Jones, said to be on an Ericaceous host, agree
perfectly with this Guatemalan specimen. Because of the long
bladdery peridia there is a resemblance to Peridermium, and the
Mexican specimen has been so labelled, but there can now be no
doubt that it belongs here.

37. UREDO BIOCELLATA Arth.— On Pluchea odorata
Cass, (host no. 5202, det. by J. M. Greenman), Amatitlan, Depart.
Abiatitlan, Jan. 25, 1906, no. 5388.

The sides of the spores in this species are inflated in a very
conspicuous manner making them unusually odd. It has been
known before only from the type locality, Florida Keys, on Plu-
chea purpurascciis.

38. UREDO FICINA Juel.— On Ficus aurea Nutt ; Gua-
lan, Depart. Zacapa, Jan i, 1906, no. 5456.

This species differs from the common Ficus rust, Uredo Fici
Cast., in its larger spores and especially in the paraphyses, which
are curv^ed, strong and thick-walled as compared with the more
erect, slender, thin-walled ones of U. Fici. The host of the Gua-
temalan specimen agrees so well with a specimen from Florida
known to be Ficus aurea, that it has been called by that name
The fungus on the Florida specimen is also U. Hcina. The species
is chiefly known from South America, where the type was col-
lected.

39. UREDO CABRERIANA Kern 8c Kellerm. sp. nov.

II. Uredinia chiefly hypophyllous, gregarious in orbicular
groups 2-4 mm. across, or scattered singly, roundish, 0.5-1 mm.
across, subepidermal, soon naked, chestnut-brown, pulverulent,
ruptured epidermis conspicuous ; paraphyses intermixed with the
spores, spatulate or sometimes capitate, often irregular, 10-23 x
40-80/X, heads solid, stipes hollow ; urediniospores broadly obovate-
ellipsoid, 17-27x27-34/7., wall dark chestnut-brown, thick (3-4/x,),
thicker above {S~7 P-) coarsely echinulate with blunt conical tu-
bercles 3-4 ju, apart, pores 3, rarely 4, equatorial.

On Buettneria lateralis Presl. (?) (host no. 5219), Livings-
ton, Depart. Izabal, Jan. 18, 1905, no. 5465.

26 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 13'

This host was determined from fragments by John Donnell
Smith, who expresses some doubt as to the correctness of the spe-
cific name. With the exception of two species of Aecidium from
South America, described by P. Hennings, this is the only rust re-
ported on a host belonging to this family, StercuHaceae, or any
closely related family. No other spore structures being present
the species is described as Uredo. The thickened apex of the
spores, the intermixed paraphyses. and the gross appearance of
the sori indicate that its relationship is with the Ravcneliatae.

The name is to honor Sn. Manuel Estrada Cabrera, Presi-
dent of Guatemala, patron of education and applied science.

40. UREDO TRIXITIS Kern & Kellerm. sp. nov.

II. Uredinia hypophyllous, scattered, small, round, 0.3-0.5
mm. across, soon naked, becoming somewhat pulverulent, dark
chestnut brown, ruptured epidermis conspicuous ; without
peridium or praphyses ; urediniospores broadly ellipsoid, some-
times somewhat narrowed below, 19-24x25-30/1.. wall light
chestnut-brown, medium thick (2-3 /t), sparsely and rather in-
conspicuously echinulate. pores distinct, 2, opposite.

On Trixis frutescens P. Br. (host no. 5204), San Lucas, De-
part. Solola, Feb. 15, 1906, no. 5432.

This host was determined by J. M. Greenman and belongs to
a section of the Carduaccae which does not include any other
genera known to bear rusts.

THE LEPIOTAS OF SWEDEN.

II. C. BEARDSLEE.

The following notes on the species of Lepiota collected in
Sweden by Mr. C. G. Lloyd and the writer during the summer
of '05 may be of interest in connection with the papers upon this
genus which are appearing in the Journal.

The numlx^r of species collected was not large, probably
partly at least because work was necessarily stopped the first
week of September. Doubtless other species might have been
found in the same collecting grounds if work had continued a
few weeks longer. The species detected were six in number.
L. procera, naucina, rhacodes, cristata, metulaespora. and amian-
thina. Of Lepiota procer little need be said. It was found in
the same surroundings in which it would have appeared in the
United States and agreed with our plant in every detail. There
is, however, food for reflection in the fact that this fine species
which lends itself so well to description and illustration that it
is easily recognized, even by the amateur, has been reported from
so manv stations and is known to have so wide a distribution-

Jan. 1907] The Lepiotas of Stveden 27

Is it not at least possible that some of its relatives are also widely
distributed, but owing to the greater difficulty of their recogni-
tion, are not so widely recognized? It is hard for one w-hose
views on "new species" are perhaps a little "cranky" to account
otherwise for the facts, for instance, in regard to L. seminuda.
This pretty species is abundant at Asheville, perhaps the most
abundant species of Lepiota. Specimens and photographs have
been seen by Bresadola who has verified the determination, and
pronounced it correct in every detail. Still this species so far as
I know is reported by only one collector. Prof. Morgan finding
it at Preston. I greatly suspect that several of our new species
will be found on further investigation to be referable to this
abundant and variable species.

Lepiota rhacodes is a beautiful and striking species. As we
found it it is large and robust, with a rounded almost hemispher-
ical pileus, whose flesh is remarkably thick and firm, and which
is covered with large strongly revolute scales, which render it
very striking. It is at once recognized by the student of the group
at first sight. The flesh and gills redden when bruised as in L.
Americana, but the red color is not as bright and the change is
slower. This species is doubtless rare in the United States. I
have never seen anything even approaching it, though it has
been found in New England. Cooke's figure is not good, but
it will easily be recognized wdien found from the description.

Lepiota naucina was found only once, but then in some abund-
ance in the parks at Stockholm. It is of course in outward ap-
pearance like our own L. naucinoides. The main point of interest
was the form of the spores, as Fries stated that the spores of his
species were round, which has led to the separation of our species
in which the spores are elliptical and apiculate. Upon examination
the spores were found to be identical with those of the American
plant, and there can be no question that L. naucina as it is at
present known to European mycologists is identical with L. nau-
cinoides. It seems hardly probable that the traditional plant has
been incorrectly determined. It is much easier to believe that the
form of the spores was originally given incorrectly. The species
is plentiful in Sv.-eden and is, so far as I could learn, universally
recognized as Fries' species.

L. cristata and L. amianthina need no comment. They were
in agreement with the plants known by the same names with us.

The last species to appear at Drottningholm was an old
friend, which is abundant at Asheville, and quite generally dis-
tributed in the U. S. It belongs to a group whose status is at
present unsatisfactory, the Clypeolariae. Our species need
further examination and comparison Avith well authenticated spec-
imens of the European species before w^e shall be certain of their
identity. The species found is known in Europe as L. metulae-
spora. Fries considered it the same as Bulliard's species, L. cly-

28 Jour7ial of Mycology [Vol. 13

peolaria, and so published it. BuUiard's plant is, however, dif-
ferent. It occurs in Sweden but is not as common and in spite
of careful search I failed to find it. It is said to have a darker
umbo and shorter spores than the true L. metulaespora. The
plants we found were well marked by their soft appressed tomen-
tose pileus, flocculose veil, and long: spores. These were 15-20
X 5-6 mic, and were spindle shaped. The Asheville specimens
have slightly shorter spores but agree in all other details with
the Swedish plants. At Asheville there are three species of
Lepiota belonging to this group, L. metulaespora, floralis and a
third species upon which I am unwilling at present to express an
opinion. Possibly it may prove to be the true L. clypeolaria,
though it seems at present doubtful. Lepiota floralis occurs
rarely in open sandy ground and seems to correspond v^ell with
Ravenel's plant, which was found in his garden from which he
distributed at least three other new species, L. oligosarcus, ful-
vaster, and psilopus. These are all small species and from the
specimens examined can not be well understood. I have exam-
ined two of Ravenel's specimens of L. floralis, one in very good
preservation at Washington, the other in the herbarium at Bilt-
more. The spores in the latter were examined and were rather
larger than the measurements given by Morgan, being 11-13X
4-5 mic. and spindle shaped. It is worth suggesting that this
species needs further investigation before its status can be con-
sidered satisfactory. The conditions under which it is found
suggest very strongly that it is only a depauperate form of L.
metulaespora. An almost unbroken series of forms can be found
in this region connecting the two species, and the points of dif-
ference are such as may well be explained by the fact that one
form is found in sheltered places in woods and the other in sterile
sandy soil in open places.

NEW GENERA OF UREDINALES.

BY J. C. ARTHUR.

As the rusts are more carefully studied, and increased at-
tention is given to the minute details of their structure, it becomes
possible to find characters which enable one to group the species
under genera that show relationship better than by the earlier
method of using some obvious character to place many diverse
forms under a few genera. The rusts are minute plants, and the
diagnostic characters must be sought for with a corresponding
minutia. In addition to the strictly morphological characters, the
recognition of the invariable relation of the pycnia to the other
spore-forms, by which it is possible to judge with much certainty
of the nature of the life-cycle, has made it feasible to draw from

Jan. 1907] New Genera of Uredinales 29

the whole set oi spore-forms in assembling the characters held
in comiTion. In addition to these two sources of information re-
garding relationship sufficient knowledge of the whole body of
Uredinales is now available so that some importance must be at-
tached to the pari passu relationship of the host on which the
fungus occurs.

In establishing the following genera these three points of
view for determining relationship have been taken into account,
zic, morphological characters, life-cycle, and family of the host.

POLIOMA Arthur gen. nov.

Cycle of development includes pycnia and telia, both sub-
epidermal.

Pycnia flask-shaped or globoid, central cavity usually large,
ostiolar filaments apparently wanting.

Telia erum.pent, somewhat indefinite, without peridium or
paraphyses ; teliospores pedicelled, two-celled, wall very pale or
colorless, homogeneous, smooth, one pore in each cell and apical.
Spores usually germinate upon maturity.

Type species : Piiccinia nivea Holw., on Salvia purpurea
Cav. Genus related to Eriosporangiiini, but without as many
spore-forms. The generic name is taken from the Greek for
grayness, in allusion to the usual appearance of the telial sori.

III. Telia hypophyllous, scattered or somewhat confluent
in compact groups, round, 0.3-0.4 mm. across, soon naked, pul-
vinate, dirty white, becoming cinereous by germination, ruptured
epidermis not noticeable ; teliospores oblong or lanceolate-oblong,
rounded or obtuse at apex, 12-15 x 40-48/^, slightly or not con-
stricted at septum, wall colorless, medium thin, 1-2/1,, not thick-
ened above, smooth ; pedicel hyaline, short.

(type of Uredo Loeseneriana) . The type specimen from South
America was detected by the writer in tbe phanerogamic collec-
tion of the Field Museum in Chicago, upon sheet no. 77528. The
spiral markings of the urediniospores naturally suggest the simi-
lar markings on the urediniospores of Pileolaria. The teliospores
are in both cases one-celled. Yet these resemblances are doubtless
superficial, and while they would consign both genera to the
genus Uromyces, under the old system of single characters, the
genus Pileolaria clearly shows affinities in the direction of Ra-
Z'enelia, while Spirechina is closely related to Knehneola, its chief
diflPerence being the one-celled teliospores. The generic name is
taken from the Greek for spiral and prickly husk.

PROSPODIUM Arthur gen. nov.

Cycle of development includes pycnia, uredinia and telia, all
subcuticular.

Pycnia hemispherical, hymenium flat, without ostiolar fila-
ments.

Uredinia early naked, encircled by paraphyses ; uredinio-
spores borne singly on pedicels, wall colored, echinulate, often'
with a hygroscopic layer.

Telia erumpent, surrounded more or less by paraphyses ;
teliospores two-celled by transverse septum, wall colored, with a
thin, hygroscopic, hyaline layer, sparsely papillose, pores one in
each cell, apical in upper cell, near the pedicel in' lower cell ; pedi-
cel refractive, usually appendaged.

Type species : Puccinia appcndiculata Wint., on Bignonia^
ceae. This genus is related to Uropyxis by its subcuticular pyc-
nia, encircling paraphyses in the uredinia, and hygroscopic layer
of the teliospores, but differs in having only one pore in each
cell of the teliospores.

THE GENUS CORTINARIUS WITH KEY TOITHE
SPECIES.

BY C. H. KAUFFMAN.

The editor of the Journal has asked me to furnish an ac-
count of the genus Cortinarius with Key to the species. What
follows is given in response to this invitation. I desire to call
attention to what was published in the Bulletin of the Torrey
Botanical Club, based mainly on my study of the species found
at Ithaca, N. Y. The cuts prepared for the illustration there
have been kindly loaned for use here.

I quote from the same article the following:
"It is absolutely useless to pick up an old, dried specimen of
Cortinarius, and ask any one to recognize it. Once in a while
some easily known plant may be recognized in that way, but in
the majority of cases old plants of different species look so much
alike that it is mere guessing to say anything about them. The
first thing to rememlDer is that young, unexpanded plants must
be examined as well as mature ones. Next a careful description
must be made, ivith special reference to the difference in the color
of the gills in the young and old plants. Then a similar compari-
son of the color of pileus and stem ; and then a search for an an-
nulus or universal veil, and its character. Finally, a careful test
of the pileus and stem for gluten or viscidity. (One must remem-
ber that old. dry plants may lose this character.) These points
are absolutely essential. In addition to the above, the following
characters are often useful : the shape of the pileus : the size of the
parts ; the smoothness of the surface of pileus and stem ; the
character of the edge of the gills ; the nature of the bulbous base
of the stem ; the appearance of the flesh. In fact, the notes can-

not be too full, provided they contain the essential facts mentioned
first." (Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club.)

THE KEY.

The key which is here presented is a revision, with many
additions, of the key printed in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botan-
ical Club, June, 1905. It is based on the study of fresh plants ;
but there have been added a few which the writer has not seen,
but which have characters so easily recognized, and so different
from others, that they were thought worthy of inclusion. This
key, like its predecessor, necessarily has many shortcomings. As
long as we are not sure what American plants are really identical
with European ones, and so long as good figures or photographs
of the species described for North America, are lacking, we are
easily able to mistake the meanings of the descriptions, which are
often of the very briefest. Hence this list is merely offered as a
slight forward step towards opening up for amateurs the study
of this interesting genus.

Six species, which the writer believes to be undescribed,
have been included, although their descriptions have not yet been
published. All of them have been collected or been received from
various places more than once, and by inserting them in the key,
we may be able to help those who continue to come across them.
It is hoped soon to publish descriptions of them elsewhere.

It is to be noted that the key has been built largely on the
size of the spores. This will necessitate, it is hoped, the study
of the plant under the microscope, and so initiate the beginner
at once into the proper study of these fungi. We know that two
different species of mushrooms have again and again been placed
under one name because of similar external appearances, when
an examination of the spores would have shown a difference of
as much as 8 microns in some cases. In deciding on the size
of spores, the measurement of mature spores only should be taken,
which may be recognized by the dark wall or the roughness of the
exospore ; even in plants with yellowish spores a difference be-
tween young and mature spores can be made out.

EDITOR'S NOTES.

This No. of the Journal is issued somewhat earher and the
size is less than usual, on account of the editor's contemplated
trip to Guatemala. The next No. may be correspondingly de-
layed by his prolonged absence. We regret also that no account
can at present be given of the mycological papers presented at
the New York Meeting of the A. A. A. S. and affiliated societies.

In this No. we are concluding the installments of Professor
Morgan's monograph of the North American species of Lepiota.
The parts will be reprinted as a single pamphlet. This then, as
well as the North American species of Marasmius, by the same
author, will we are sure be welcomed by very many botanists.
Those interesting special groups can now be observed and studied
systmatically and advantageously — scarcely the case when the
literature pertaining to many of the species remained practically
inaccessable except perhaps to the specialist himself.

As serving a similar purpose and likewise of special advantage
to the student of mycology — therefore it can be placed in the
same category, namely, the article we are giving this month by
Mr. Kauffman of the University of Michigan. His excellent
work on the species of Cortinarius. to which difficult and im-
portant group he is still devoting himself, will be keenly appre-
ciated by those interested in the Agarics. To the numerous other
contributors in the past we are equally grateful for important
articles — all of which in fact can justly be claimed as creditable
to American mycology.

The Journal has set for itself the aim to index and in a
measure to represent the work of our mycologists — and inci-
dentally to give by brief notes some idea of the work in the
entire mycological world. In our scope we include monographic
articles of lesser or greater extent — and we expect to present
from time to time much work of the latter character.

McALPINE'S STUDIES OF AUSTRAILIAN RUSTS.

BY J. C. ARTHUR.

Among the notable recent contributions to uredinology the
volume on "The Rusts of Australia, their structure, nature and
classification," by D. McAlpine, is worthy of special attention.
It was prepared under the auspices of the Department of Agri-
culture of Victoria, and is an octavo volume of 349 pages of text
and 55 full-page plates, partly colored, and the others half-tones
from excellent photographs and photomicrographs. The press
work and binding are well done, and the volume as a whole is
a good piece of book-making.

The body of the work is occupied by a systematic account
of 161 species of rusts, all so far known to occur in Australia,
distributed under 9 genera. The descriptions of the species are
admirably drawn with uniform diagnostic characters for each
of the spore-forms. The care exercised to study fully each kind
of spore, and especially to search out and describe the spermo-
gonia, is worthy of highest commendation. All collections are
reported by place, date and name of collector. Much care has
also been taken in citing bibliography and synonymy for each
species, and many notes and observations are appended. Prac-

(41)

42 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 13-

tically every species is illustrated in a most satisfactory manner,
to show not only the spore-forms, but in many instances the gross
appearance of the fungus and the distortions it produces as

well.

Preceding the systematic part twenty chapters are devoted to
a discussion of the general subject of rusts in its various aspects,
and from the most modern points of view. It is by much the
best account now available in the English language.

Following the systematic account is a glossary, bibliography,
and three ample indexes. Nothing has been forgotten that might
make the work serviceable and complete.

The thoroughness with which the author has accomplished
his task, the culmination of many ye?rs of observation and study,
has insured a valuable work of reference for both local and other
botanists. But even more than this, the broad spirit in which
the work has been conceived, and the ability shown to discover
and interpret the less obvious morphological structures, give
added value to the record of facts. The author states that there
was "a special object in view in thus recording and describing
the rust-fungi of Australia, for this can afterwards be used as a
basis in working out the life-history of those particular fornis
which attack our cultivated and economic plants," which is
clearly a sensible method of procedure in attacking the difificult
problem of the harmful rusts. It was the author, who a short
time ago established the interesting genus Uromycladium with
its half dozen or more species, founded upon heretofore unrecog-
nized fruiting structures, and his perspicacity brought to light the
fascicled arrangement of teliospores in the plum and peach rust,
which has put a new interpretation upon the affinities of this
and similar rusts. It is this clear insight, and the accuracy and
fullness of details, that commend the work to all students of the
rusts in every part of the world.

March 1907] Spore Forms of Spegazzinia Ornata Sacc 43

SPORE FORMS OF SPEGAZZINIA ORNATA SAGC.^

ERNST A. BESSEY.

The group, Tubercularieae Dematieae, to which genus Spe-
gassinia belongs is a rather artificial one containing some fungi
of undoubted close relationship but others whose affinities are
certainly with other groups. The genus Spegazzinia seems to
stand rather apart from) any other genera in this group on account
of the peculiar structure of the spores. The genus was first de-
scribed by Saccardo" from specimens collected in Italy, with the
single species 6". ornata. Some six or more species have since
been described so that representatives of this genus are known
to occur also in South America, Mexico and United States, and
doubtless many other parts of the world. The species are mostly
saprophytic,^ attacking different leaves, herbaceous stems and
wood, and in one instance observed by the writer, the dead skin
of a pomelo (Citrus deciunana) . They are most commonly found
on dead parts of grasses. The specimens examined by the writer
were collected by him in Florida on dead grasses, pineapple leaves
and pomelo skin, in addition to specimens collected by Lang-
lois in Louisiana (under the name of 6^. tessarthra) and a spec-
imen on unknown host from Texas. Through the kindness of
Professor Saccardo who sent the writer, on request, an authentic
specimen of 6". ornata collected by him in Treviso in 1877, i^ was
possible to identify all the above-mentioned specimens as be-
longing to this species. The differences between the specimens
on different hosts in different localities were not greater than the
difference between spores in the same lot of material.

The mycelium within the substratum is colorless. On the
surface are produced here and there larger or smaller masses of
closely woven, thick-celled, dark-colored septate threads. In some
cases these bodies may attain a diameter of 5 mm. and be from
50-100 fjL thick, forming a definite sporodochium, but often there
are not more than one or two layers of threads. In such a case it
is difficult to see why the fungus is put in with the Tubercula-
rieae. Arising from these dark-colored threads are conidiophores
which bear two kinds of conidia (Fig. 3), long-stalked, spiny
conidia and short-stalked, smooth conidia ; the latter are borne
on stalks 5-8 /x long, occasionally longer, arising directly from the
hyphae of the sporodochium. These conidia are cruciately four-
celled and flattened in the plane in which the stalk lies (Figs. 6,

panying and perhaps parasitic upon species of Meliola.

7, 8), the latter being attached at the middle of one edge of one
of the cells. The spores are 6-8 /a thick and 13-16 /x wide and
high. Usually the conidiophore separates from the spore leav-
ing a portion but one or two microns long, although occasionally
the whole conidiophore may remain attached when the spore
separates from the sporodochium. The spiny spores are long-
stalked, the stalks being 30-120 (usually 50-70) /^ long. These
conidiophores are non-septate. The spores are like the precedmg,
four-celled, but the constrictions between the cells are deeper and
the outer portions are spiny ; the plane passing through the four
cells is perpendicular to the conidiophore which is fastened at the
point where the four cells meet (Figs, i, 2 and 4). In the orig-
inal description of the species, as well as that occurring in the
Sylloge Fungorum.-* the fungus is described as consisting of su-
perficial sporodochia with fasciculately-radiating, filiform, non-
septate, fuscous hyphae, 99-100x2-3 /a, terminating in fulginous,
mostly four-celled, sporophores upon which are borne on sub-
hvaline, acicular sterigmata, sarciniform-four-celled, fulginous.
smooth conidia, constricted at the septa, 16-20 /x in diameter.
Essentially the same description is given in Die natiirlichen Pflan-
zenfamilien.'^ Examination of Fig. 3 (which was drawn with
camera lucida) will convince one, however, that this description
is erroneous, for it will be seen that the two forms of spores are
borne independently of one another directly from the sporodochial
hyphae, instead of the smooth spores being conidia borne upon
a spiny, long-stalked sporophore. The writer made pure cul-
tures of the fungus obtained on dead pineapple leaves and found
that under certain conditions only smooth-celled conidia would
be formed, while at other times, none but the long-stalked, spiny
forms would appear; while still again both would be mixed on
the same sporodochium. Hanging drop cultures were then made
to observe the germination of the two types. The smaller smooth
spores germinated quickly, usually within a day or two, mostly
with one germ tube from each cell' (Figs. 7, 8, and 9, Fig. 9 being
an abnormally-shaped and unusually large spore). The germ
tubes are stout with several granules near the partitions. The
spiny spores germinated with difiiculty after three days, or even
longer, producing first many hyaline, bladder-like structures from

It is the intention of the writers to issue, as material accu-
miulates, exsiccati of fungi under the above title, the scope of
the work being limited to Ascomycetes, Deuteromycetes and
Phycomycetes. This material will be issued in unbound fasci-
cles of twenty-five numbers each. The following is an annotated
list of the contents of the first fascicle :

The names cited in the synonymy of this species are all
based on material collected from the same host in different coun-
tries. The first came from Portugal, the second from South Car-
olina, the third is merely a renaming of the second, the fourth
is fronl Missouri, and the last from Italy. The only points of
difference which are emphasized by the descriptions are the size
of the spots, the color of their margin, and such minor discrep-
ancies in spore measurements as are to be expected. The gross
characters are too variable to be of primary taxonomic value,
while the spore measurements of these descriptions present less
variation than is found in a single collection of material in quan-
tity.

21. Phyllosticta sassafras Cooke, Grevillea, 12:26. 1883.

This species was originally described from material collected
in South Carolina by Ravenel and sent to Cooke for identification
and distribution. In their paper on the genus Ellis & Everhart
say of this species : "All the specimens are sterile and the species
must be considered doaUful" (N. Am. Phyllostictas 44). The
present material contains an abundance of very minute spores
which conform well to the original measurements.

NOTES FROM MYGOLOGICAL LITERATURE. XXII.

W. A. KELLERMAN.

Arthur, J. C.

Clear and convincing- "Reasons for Desiring a Better Classi-
fication of the Uredinales" are given in the July No. of the
Journal of Mycology, 1906. No review or brief resume can do
the article justice and we content ourselves with giving a few
of Dr. Arthur's extracts : "There are two especially^ prominent
reasons for the consistent naming of the species of rusts, and
for other plants as well. One is to be able to designate each
particular kind as desired by using an authoritative name, and
the other is to indicate the relationship which that kind holds to
other kinds according to its recognized place in a natural system.
* * * One of the impediments at the present time to an under-
standing of the interrelationship of rusts lies in the lack of reason-
able segregation of genera.' In support of this statement one need
only recall the fact that the genus Puccinia as now constituted
contains more than half of all known species of rusts, and w^hat
may not be so well known, that within this category are contained
groups of the most diverse forms and affinities. * * * If ^ye
require that a genus should represent as fully as possible a group
of organisms giving evidence of having been derived from the
same ancestors, and therefore with species more closely related
genetically to one-anothcr than to those of any other genus, it
becomes necessary to explain a well known parallelism, brought
to our attention by Fischer of S-vitzerland. He showed that in
many cases the teliospores of a species having an extremely ab-
breviated life-cycle, e. g. Puccinia Leucanthemi, closely resemble
in structure those of an autoecious species, e. g., P. Aecidii-
Leucanthemi, in which the host of its aecia is the same or prac-
tically so as the host of the abbreviated species. Tranzscliel
has successfully applied this rule of parallelism in predicting the
host of the unrecognized aecia in certain heteroecious species. In
such cases of parallelism there can be no doubt that the forms in
question have truly descended from a common ancestor, but
dating a long way back, even to the early days when all the rusts

March 1907] Notes from Mycological Literature 73

had four spore-forms. Searching for an adequate cause to ac-
count for the breaking up of a primitive species into two or more
modern parallel species with different lengths of life-cycle, I think
it may be found in the augmented influence of parasitism."

Mycological Notes. No. 22. C. G. Lloyd.

This No. issued from Cincinnati, July, 1906, contains the
following : Sur quelques rares Gastromycees ; Eastern Stations
for Western Plants; A Novelty from Minnesota; The Genus
Holocotylon ; Lycoperdon wrightii in Africa and Java;
Tylostoma Berteroanum ; Un Mitremyces de la Nouvelle
Caledonie (par N. Patouillard) ; Lycoperdon subvelatum in
Europe ; Puffballs of Mauritius ; Boudier's Plates. The Novelty
from Minnesota is a specimen sent by Dr. S. Whetstone which
Mr. Lloyd makes the type of a new genus, namely Whetstonia.
The new species is W^h. strobiliformis. The plant is most closely
allied to the genus Phellorina, from w^hich it differs in the perma-
nent cells of the gleba.

Hedwigia, Band XLV, Heft 2, 16 Jan. 1906.

One article in Heft 2, Bd. XLV, Hedwigia, 16 Januar 1906,
is mycological, namely : P. Magnus, Notwendige Umaeunderung
des Namens der Pilzgattung Marssonia Fisch. [It is changed
to Marssonina P. Mag. n. n. and all the species are renamed.]

Smith, Clayton O.

During the autumn of 1905 some diseased oleanders were sent
from a nursery to the plant pathological laboratory of the Uni-
versity of California, says Clayton O. Smith (in October
Botanical Gazette, 1905), and this investigator began a study of
the olive knob of the specimens, reaching the conclusion that
he had to do with "A bacterial Disease of Oleander, Bacillus
Oleae (Arcang.) Trev." This trouble affecting the stems and
leaves, forming large, hard, woody knobs, occurs in Egypt,
Europe and California. It was described by the Romans but its
bacterial origin has only been recognized since 1886.

Atkinson, Geo. F.

In the Botanical Gazette, October 1906, is given Professor
Atkinson's paper on "The Development of Agaricus campestris,"
(with six splendid plates), which was read last winter at New
Orleans. We quote his introductory words as follows : In some
respects the history of the study of the Hymeniales does not
present the same progress which can be seen in the other groups
of fungi, or indeed in nearly all other groups of plants. The
earliest period, that of the study and classification of species and
genera, presents in the main the same aspects which have been
characteristic of the early study of all plants ; but the progress

74 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 13

made up to the present time is not in proportion to the time and
energT^' expended, due to certain difficulties, some inherent in
the nature of the plants themselves, and others due to the lack of
an adequate knowledge of their anatomy and development. The
second period, that of the study of the morphology and develop-
ment, began more than half a cenury ago. It is true that in the
early part of the 19th century, nearly a century ago, quite an
elaborate theory of the development of the Hymeniales, especially
the Agaricaceae. was evolved by Nees von Esenbeck. But his
theory, embellished as it is with his philosophical ideas of the
evolution and metamorphosis of these plants from the puffballs
and truffles; in which he was evidently influenced by the phil-
osophy expressed in the J'o7'zvort of Goethe's Farhenlehre, that
in a book dealing with natural phenomena the writer should make
use of a lively imagination in order to make it real to the reader ;
and especially because there is such a lack of definiteness as to
the forms studied, though it is quite evident he refers more
especially to species of Amanita, presents little that is helpful
to the present discussion. At that early period it was an important
forward step to show, as Dutrochet did, in 1834, that the large
fungi were only the fruit bodies of the plants then known as
"Byssus," which spread usually underground or in the substance
of organic bodies ; and for Trog in 1837 to recognize the two
different parts in the life history, the vegetative stage or
mycelium and the fruiting stage or carpophore, and that this is
the product of germinating spores ; though Micheli had stated as
early as 1729 that the fruit bodies of some fungi did not come
immediately from the seed (spores), but the seeds first produce
a large root which grows for several years in the ground, and
then gives rise to the fruit body (referring to Poly poms
tuberaster). But during the early and middle portion of the 19th
century the work on the morphology and anatomy of these plants,
and the descriptions and illustrations of species, was far in ad-
vance of the work on development and the organization of the
parts of the fruit body. Unfortunately the study of the
morphology and development of the Hymeniales has not kept pace
with the same studies in other groups of plants.

Kauffman, C. H.

In the 8th Annual Report of the Michigan Academy of
Science, Mr. Kauffman lists many "Unreported Fungi" from
Petoskey, Detroit, and Ann Arbor, for 1905, the names with
localities covering about ten or more pages. A new species of
Cortinarius is given, namely, C. rnhripes. It has an oval bulb
that is deep brick red to vemiillion, shading off to a pellucid
pinkish tinge at the apex of stem. The stem is attached to roots
of Acer saccharinum and Quercus rubra on which it forms
niycorhica.

Fungi Columbiani, Century XXII, 30 Jan. 1907.

The Fungi Columbani (Ellis & Everhart's), Century XXII,
was issued Jan. 30, 1907. The genera most largely represented
are Aecidium, Peronospora, Puccinia, Uromyces, and Ustilago,
Mr. Flam Bartholomew is the author of these exsiccati.

FauU, J. Horace.

A preliminary note is given in Science, N. S. 23:152-3, 26
Jan. 1906, by J. Horace Faull, on "Ascus and Spore formation
in the Laboulbeniaceae." An effort is made to fill the gap of
the differences of opinion concerning the systematic position of
this group — which De Bary (1884) doubtfully referred to the
Ascomycetes; Thaxter (1895) referred them to Ascomycetes ;
Karsten (1895) said they were not Ascomycetes at all; Fngler
(1903) elevated them to the rank of a class quite removed from
both the Smuts and Ascomycetes. Recent investigations by J.
Horace Faull of microtome sections of well preserved perithecia
revealed features that are apparently of undoubted significance
in their bearing on the problem of the phylogenetic position of
this group; this is the basis for the statement: "Indeed, the
phenomena of sporogenesis agree in all essentials with those
already described for the Ascomycetes," by this author.

Blakeslee, A. F.

In Science of July 27, 1906, A. F. Blakeslee discusses
"Zygospores and sexual strains in the common bread Mould,
Rhizopus nigricans." He says : "Even since de Bary discovered
the zygospores of Rhizopus in 1865 — now forty years ago —
various and conflicting theories, based many of them upon the
character of the substratum upon which the zygospores were
accidentally found, have been brought forward to account tor
the rarity of their occurence. The writer has attempted to show
the insufficiency of the assumption that external conditions are
of more than secondary importance." He then takes up the
matter of the occurence in nature of the strains of this species.

Mycological Notes. No. 23, C. G. Lloyd.

The principal article in this No. pertains to "The Genus

without a sterile base, opening by a definite mouth. Capillitium
of short, separate threads or long, intertwined threads. Spores

pedicellate." We quote Mr. Lloyd further: "We would extend
the limits of the genus Bovistella as above, for the following
reasons. When Prof. Morgan proposed the genus he knew but
one species and he clearly defined it as having a sterile base and
short, separate capillitium threads. If we had but this one species
it would be easy to define our genus, but there are many related
plants in the world ; some agreeing in both these characters, some
having only one of them, and others neither. The genus
Bovistella shades by a continuous series of species into Lycoperdon
on one hand and Bovista on the other." Plates 33, 70, 86, 87, 88,
89 illustrate the twenty-one species described.

Hariot, P. et Patouillard, N.

In the Bulletin de la Societe de France, vol. 23, Fasc. 3, we
find description and illustration of a curious new genus, the
authors remarking that le genre Colletomanginia est done une
sorte d'Hvpoxvlon compose, au meme titre que le receptacle
dune Morille est une agregation de Pezizes. It is placed, how-
ever, in the group Xylariaceae with the following description:
Colletomanginia n. 'g. — Major, lignoso-carnosa, superficie
cristato-alveolata ; cristis steribilus sporiferam partem in alveo-
lis dispositam circumscribentibus ; peritheciis immersis ; ascis
octosporis, paraphysatis ; sporis continuis._ atris. Only one
species is given, C. paradoxa, from East Africa.

March 1907] Notes from Mycological Literature Tl

Garrett, A. O.

Some account of Puccinia scandica Johans., Puccinia caricis-
asteris Arth., Aecidium monoicum Peck, and Caeoma confluens
(Pers.) Schroeter is given by A. O. Garrett in the July No. of
the Journal of M3'Cology, 1906, under the title "Field Notes on
the Uredineae." The notes refer to collections made during the
three years past at the head of Big Cottonwood Canyon, about
30 miles from Salt Lake City, the altitude ranging from 8,500
to 9,500 feet.

Arthur, Joseph Charles, and Kern, Frank Dunn.

A paper, "North American Species of Peridermium," read
before the Botanical Section of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, Nevv' Orleans, Jan. i, 1906, is published
in the August No. of the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club.
The genus Peridermium as used by those authors embraces all
aecial forms possessing peridia, inhabiting the Pinaceae and Gne-
taceae. The paper describes 2^ species, ranging from Mexico to
Alaska, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts, and also 3
species not yet found in America, but which doubtless occur as
the telial forms are abundant. The authors say further that some
important characters are used in the diagnoses not hitherto em-
ployed for American forms, such as those derived from the pres-
ence and form of pycnia, the structure, especially the cross-section
view of the peridium, and the thickness of the w^all of the spores.
Only 3 of the 27 forms have been definitely associated with the
telial forms. Cultures are absolutely demanded, say the authors,
before the Peridermium tangle can be straightened. Useful keys
are given both for the species and the hosts. Ten of the species
are new and several new names are given besides.

Arthur, Joseph Charles.

Twelve new species are described by the author in the Octo-
ber Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club, 1906, under the title
"New Species of Uredineae — V." They are from various parts
of western Canada, western and southern United States, Mexico
and the West Indies. Dr. Arthur says this assortment of species
is m.ore than usually interesting, as it embraces some belonging
to little-known genera, and some that clarify knowledge of com-
mon forms.

Dietel, P.

An excellent monograph of the genus Ravenelia has been
published in Beihefte zum Botanischen Centralblatt, 20 [Abt.]
11:343 413, PI. V-VI, 1906 — "]\Ionographie der Gattung Raven-
elia Berk.," P. Dietel. It was established in 1853 with two spe-
cies; Cooke reviewed the genus in 1880 when 8 species were
known; now there are 81 species — 7 of them being first de-

78 Journal of Mycology [Vol. \%

scribed in this paper by Dietel. About two dozen pages are de-
voted to a review of the literature, the ^Morphology Relationship,
Distribution, Synopsis, etc. The species are fully described, syn-
onomy, hosts and distribution given and the literature cited under
each species. Long's Pleoravenelia and Neoravenelia are not
accepted as valid genera. For the Ravenelias in the narrow
sense the new Section HaploravcneVm is proposed. Pleoravenelia
is used as a Section to include the remaining species. Five new
species from Mexico are described.

Nichols, Susie Percival.

This study of "the Nature and Origin of the binucleated
cells in some Basidomycetes," Trans. Wise. Acad. Sci. Arts and
Let. 15:30-70, PI. VI^ 1905, deals with Hypholoma perplexum
Pk., Coprinus, Poria, Pholiota praecox, Lepiota naucina, Dictyo-
phora duplicata, and Lycoperdon pyriforme. The results ob-
tained show that the binucleated cells do not originate through
the formation of an especial reproductive apparatus. Their for-
mation is not necessarily followed immediately by the formation
of a carpophore. At present there is no evidence that the binu-
cleated cells of Basidiomycetes ever originate by a fusion of their
adjacent cells such as Blackman finds at the base of the aecidium
in Phragmidum violaceum and Gymnosporangium clavariae-
forme.

Morgan, A. P.

In the January No. (1907) of the Journal of Mycology Prof.
A. P. Morgan concludes his paper, "North American Species of
Lepiota." It was begun in the July No. (1906) ; installments ap-
peared also in the September, and November Nos. The author
includes 90 species in the monograph, several of them being new.
Concise but ftill descriptions are given. The main groups of
species are eleven in number, arranged under three sections : an-
niili infcri, annuJi niobilis, and annuli superi. In addition synoptic
descriptive lines are used at proper intervals, greatly facilitating
the use of this important paper on our Lepiotas. Professor Mor-
gan's wide acquaintance with the species enables him to prepare
admirable descriptions ; but partial synomy is given.

Reed, George M.

Under the title "Infection experiments with Erysiphe gra-
minis DC." Mr. Reed gives in the 15th vol. (1904) of the Trans-
actions of the Wisconsin Academy of Science, Arts and Letters,
pp. 135-162, published in 1905, a full resume of Neger's and
Salmon's infection work, and then proceeds to outline his own
experiments with this species — which (combining all reports)
infects fifty-five species of Grasses. Of this number only sixteen
belong to this country, according to Mr. Reed. We find from the
tables and notes given that plants on which spores were sown
were Triticum vulgare, Avena sativa, Hordeum vulgare, H. ju-
batum, Bromus mollis, Poa pratensis, P. trivialis, P. nemoralis, P.
compressa, Secale cereale, Lolium perenne, Festuca elatior, F.

Christman, A. H.

Some of the earlier observations bearing on the question as
to the manner in which Rusts pass the winter are given, then
experiments detailed by the author of "Observation on the Winter-
ing of Grain Rusts," are published in the Transactions of the
Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters, Vol. XV
(1904), 1905. The work pertained to the winter of 1902-3. The
conclusion reached was, that in the latitude of Madison, in a
period of three months, during which the temperature scarcely
raises above the freezing point, viable uredospores may be obtained
at practically any time. The spores taken from very exposed sit-
uations gave about 10% of germinations. Of Oat Rust spores
collected late in January, 60% germinated.

discussing briefly the symbiotic relationship and mode of life of
these plants, then outlining their use as soil-makers by attacking
rocks, dealing with the uses of Lichens as food — the Cladonias
for moose, caribou, and deer, the Cladonia rangiferina for the
reindeer; for man the Lecanora esculenta (Northern Africa),
Cetraria islandica (Iceland), also dyes of various colors have been
extracted from Lichens and are still being used in various ways.
These colors are usually reds, purples or blues, and they are used
for coloring cloth, wood, jiaper, etc.

March 1907] Notes from Mycological Literature 81

Sheldon, John L.

Under the title of "A Rare Uromyces" is given an account
of observations on Aecidium houstoniatum Schw., on Houstonia
coeralea L. and the Uromyces on Sisyrinchium graminoides Bick.
Clumps of Hbustonia with aecidia were transplanted beside plants
of Sisyrinchium, and a short time thereafter the latter developed
Uredosori. Are the two Rusts alternate forms or at all connected?
That on Sisyrinchium differed from the description of the U.
sisyrinchii Mont., it has uredospores, differently shaped teleuto-
spores which germinate at maturity in the living host, and the
epispore is smooth. A full technical description is given. See
Torreya, 6 1249, Dec. 1906.

Salmon, Ernest S.

An interesting paper "On the variation shown by the conidial
stage of Phylloctinia corylea (Pers.) Karst. I," is published
by this author in Annales Mycologici, December 1905, illustrated
by 3 full-page plates. The statement is made that P. corylea
shows in its conidial stage marked and constant morphological
differences confined to certain hosts. Using characters shown
by the conidiophore, two morphological varieties, var. rigida and
var. suhspiralis, can be distinguished ; a third variety, var. angu-
lata, can be based on the shape of the conidium. The examin-
ation of a large number of host-plants has shown further that
there are other more or less important morphological variations,
some of which will probably also require to be separated from
the type.

critical revision of the species, but only an attempt to bring to-
gether all references to species credited to the Archipelago by
various authors. New species are Phyllachora merrilli Ricker

rhacodes, cristaca, metulaespora and amianthina. These are some
excerpts : L-. procera agreed with our plant in every detail. . . .
Of L. naucina the spores are found to be identical with those of
the American plant [i. e., A. naucinoides]. . . . L. rachodes
is rare in the U. S., the red color not as bright in the specimens
in Sweden. . . . L. cristata and L. amianthina were in agree-
ment with the plants known by the same names with us. . . .
The Ashville specimens of L. metulaespora have slightly shorter
spores, but agree in all of the details with the Swedish plants

Kern, Frank D.

The "Fourth contribution to Guatemalan Mycology" in con-
nection with Professor KcUerman's study and exploration in
Guatemala was published by Mr. Kern in the January No. of the
Journal of Mycology, 1907. It comprises a critical study of
40 species, one-eighth of them being new. Specialists named the
hosts and Mr. Kern states that in all determinations and the
drawing up of descriptions of new species he w^as aided by Prof.
J. C. Arthur, and enjoyed the privilege of access to his her-
barium and library. This is the first report ever made on Rusts of
that country and in many instances new hosts have been added

EDITOR'S NOTES.

Thk somewhat belated appearance of the present No. is due
to the editor's absence in Central America, being engaged the
entire winter in making mycological explorations in Guatemala.

The advantages of annual meetings of scientific workers are
recognized by all — the chief being perhaps the inspiration of
contact. Whether the reading of technical papers is worth the
time consumed is doubted by many. Could not the time be still
more limited for such, and the gist of the matter be told orally?

The fusion of three botanical societies or organizations, as
accomplished at the last meeting of the A. A. A. S., is another
step in the right direction. An audience of some size is as-
sured — and surely this is an advantage, especially if discussion
is secured of the radical propositions, new ideas, and progressive
work. The annual fee should be low — real students and devoted
investigators are seldom money makers. They of all persons
should not be debarred membership. Something can be said
in favor of the custom of such societies making grants for re-
search work, but much more against it. It is a tax on many
workers who can ill afford to make such contributions to others —
they themselves are in dire need of funds for experiment and re-
search. Let the pleasure of giving still remain with those in-
telligent and liberal-minded men whose devotion and sagacity
have enabled them to accumulate much of this world's goods.

ARTHUR'S UREDINALES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN

FLORA.

W. A. KELLERMAN.

This exhaustive monograph constitutes Part 2 of Volume 7
of an important publication which is being issued by the New
York Botanical Garden, as rapidly as the Orders are worked
up by specialists. This paper is the fourth Part appearing to
date.

The Order Uredinales, by Joseph Charles Arthur, as here
treated, consists of the three families Coleosporiaccac, Ure-
dinaceae, and Aecidiaceae. The first family occupies pages 85-
96, and the second, pages 97-128 of this Part of the Flora; four-
teen (of the thirty-seven) genera of the family x\ecidiaceae are
included in the remaining pages (129-160) of Part 2. Only a
few botanists, if indeed any outside the devotees of Uredinology,
will not be surprised at the radical treatment of this group — the
innovations proposed.

It is the purpose of this review to point out what Dr. Arthur
has done rather than to pronounce juclgment on any part of his
work. For years he has devoted his energies to the study of
Rusts. His culture-work, study of life cycles, genetic relation-
ships, and morphology, have prepared the way for, and culmi-
nated in this splendid monograph, wdiich w'e will now proceed
to analyze.

understood unless given in his own words, which are as follows:
Spores of five morphological sorts, not all present in every genus ;

1. Basidiospores ; minute, thin- walled, without surface

sculpturing.

2. Pycniospores ; small, smooth, of unknown function.

3. Aeciospores ; verrucosely sculptured, borne in chains.

4. Urediniospores ; echinately or verrucosely sculptured,

singly, or sometimes in chains (Coleosporium,
Melampsoropsis. )

5. Teliospores ; smooth or variously sculptured but not

echinulate, borne singly or in chains.

The last four named may be present but any one or all but
the teliospores may be wanting in certain genera. In many gen-
era an alternation of phases is conspicuously shown, says the
author, the pycnia (rarely absent) with one other spore-struc-
ture comprising the gametophytic phases, and the telia usually
with one other spore-structure, the sporophytic phase. In every
species the mycelium eventually gives rise to teliospores, which
produce in germination four bodies, either remaining within the
spore-cell {Coleosporiimi ), or borne in the air on a short my-
celium, each basidium supporting a single, stalked or sessile
basidiospore.

Whether the basidia are internal or external is the funda-
mental character determining the families ; if internal, the family
Coleosporiaceae ; if external, the families Uredinaceae and Aeci-
diaceae. The two latter families are readily separated according
to the character of the teliospores — they are compacted laterally
into a crust or column (rarely solitary within the tissues) in the
Uredinaceae, and free or fascicled in the Aecidiaceae.

Dr. Arthur recognizes for the first family two North Ameri-
can genera — Coleosporium, the life-cycle with all spore forms ;
and Galloxvaya, with only telia. The latter genus was proposed
by the author of the monograph under consideration, last year,
before the Botanical Congress at Vienna, to include the single
species G. pini {Coleosporium pint Gall.)

The genus Coleosporium is concisely but fullv described.
Attention is here called to one of the statements, as follows :
''Teliospores sessile (by successive formation and by displace-
ment due to lateral pressure often appearing catenulate and pedi-
cellate), one-celled (by early division of the contents appearing
four-celled)." Dietel's Stichopsora is not recognized as a valid
genus, but placed as a synonym under Coleosporium.

The synopsis or key to the species (twenty-four in number)
of Coleosporium is similar in structure to all the species-keys
that follow and can be explained in a few words. The main
divisions are based on the groups of the hosts. Thus, "Telia
and uredinia inhabiting monocotyledonous hosts (Orchidaceae)"
leads to C. bletiae ; "Telia and uredinia inhabiting dicotyledonous

May 1907] Uredinales of North American Flora 91

hosts" leads to "Hosts belonging to Grossulariaceae" (C. nbi-
cola), to "Host belonging to family Loasaceae" (C. mentzeliae),
etc. In case of some groups (say Carduaceae) the tribes are rec-
ognized (as Vernonieae, Eupatorieae, Astereae, etc.) in separat-
ing the species. Then below this, when there are two or more
species, morphological characters are called into requisition.
Synonomy and exact citations both for the genus and species are
given. The convenient paragraphing of the full though concise
descriptions is to be highly commended. Under each species the
hosts are enumerated — the family in each case first given ; then
follow the type locality, the distribution, illustrations when any,
and finally the exsiccati are cited.

Four new species of Coleosporium are here described,
namely, C. begoniae from Alexico, C. lacinariae from Florida and
Alabama, C. arnicale from Washington, and C. occidentale also
from the State last named. Some new combinations are made ;
thus Dietel and Holway's Stichopsora mentzeliae and Schwei-
nitz's Caeoma (Uredo) helianthi are made Coleosporiums ; and
of the latter are listed, as synonyms, Dietel and Holway's C.
viguierae and C. verbesinae. Uredo terebinthinaceae and Cae-
oma (Uredo) terebinthinaceae of Schweinitz are included in
Coleosporium terebinthinaceae (Schw.) Arthur.

When we turn to the family Uredinaceae we realize more
fully the radical and progressive mode of treatment. The diag-
nosis of the family, which has the basidia external, is otherwise
sufficiently concise and definite, the main points expressed as
follows : Telia forming a more or less definite crust or column ;
teliospores compacted into layers, or rarely solitary within the
tissues (Uredinopsis), sessile. And this family includes these
eighteen genera : Uredo, Physopella, Bubakia, Pucciniastrum,
Melampsoridium, Melampsorella, Hyalopsora, Calyptospora,
Necium, Uredinopsis, Melampsoropsis, Cronartium, Cerotelium,
Cionothrix. Alveolaria, Baeodromus, Endophyllum, and Puccino-
sira. Even one claiming to be a uredinologist could scarcely say
this list with his eyes shut — in fact he might stumblle if his
eyes were open !

The genus Uredo, Arthuri sensu, includes the plants mostly
going under the names of Melampsora Cast., Physonema Lev.,
Podosporium Lev., Podocystis Fries, and Caeoma Tul. It is
evident that this is not the form genus Uredo so familiar to all,
in service so long, and perhaps destined to further use in the
same sense. In fact Dr. Arthur has elsewhere said that he pro-
poses "in his own work to retain such names as Peridermium,
Caeoma, Roestelia, Uromyces, and Puccinia as form genera for
imperfectly understood species, and even Uredo and Aecidium
in their customary acceptance as form genera, if a better course
does not become evident. These will constitute an Anhang for
recording undistributed and imperfectly known forms." It is

92 Jouryial of Mycology [Vol. 13

understood of course that the application of the rule of priority
has brought the real generic name Uredo uppermost. Our spe-
cies then are as newly denominated: Uredo medusae (Thuem.)
Arthur; Uredo contluens (Juel) Arthur; Uredo rostrupiana
Arthur; Uredo bigelowii (Thuem.) Arth. ; Uredo albertensis
Arthur ; and Uredo lini Schum.

The second genus of this family, Physopella, includes the
Uredo vitis Thuem., Uredo ficina Juel, Uredo fici Cast., Uredo
artocarpi B. & C, and Uredo aeschynomenis Arth. The third
genus, Bubakia, was based on Thichobasis crotonis Cooke ; and
one more species of our flora is added, namely, Bubakia mexi-
cana Arthur n. sp.

The three genera just enumerated constitute the subfamily
Uredinatae — having their pycnia and other sori subcuticular or
originating between the epidermis and mesophyll ; the teliospores
compacted into dense layers forming a crust ; aecia when present
with periderm. The next seven genera (Nos. 4-10 of this
family) form the subfamily Pucciniastratac — having subcuticu-
lar pycnia but the other sori originating between the epidermis
and mesophyll ; teliospores divided by vertical partitions or one-
celled, forming imperfect layers, or solitary ; aecia when present
with cylindrical periderm, rupturing irregularly above. The
members of this subfamily are enumerated in the next para-
graph.

The genus Pucciniastrum Otth, established in 1861, is re-
tained, the genera proposed by Mganus in 1875, Phragmopsora
and Thekopsora, being listed as synonyms. Under this we find
the forms well known in literature as Uredo goodyerae Tranz.,
Uredo hydrangeae B. & C, Uredo agrimoniae Schw., Uredo arc-
ticus Lagerh., Uredo pustulata Pers. (and Melampsora epilobii
Fckl.), Aecidium pyrolae Pers. (Melampsora pirolae Schroet.
and Uredo chimaphilae Peck)_, Melampsora sparsa Wint. (Puc-
ciniastrum arbuti D. & H. and Uredo copelandi Syd.), Uredo
minima Schw. and Caeoma azaleae Schw., and Aecidium ( ?)
myrtilli Schum. (Melampsora vaccinii Wint.). The last named
species may be taken as a fair case to display the usual synonomy
that thorough study develops. The name is used in the mono-
graph is Pucciniastrum myrtilH (Schum.) Arth. 1906; the syn-
onyms being :

Aecidium ( ?) myrtilli Schum.. 1803.
Uredo pustulata vaccinii Alb. & Schw., 1805.
Uredo vacciniorum DC, 181 5.
Caeoma vacciniorum Link. 1825.

Melampsora vaccinionnn Schroet., 1887.
Pucciniastrum vacciniorum Dietel, 1897.

May 1907] Uredinales of North American Flora 98

The fifth genus, Melampsoridium, estabHshed by Klebahn,
1899, includes one species, M. betulae (Schum.) Arthur — the
aecia on Larix not yet found in America, the uredinia and teha
on Betula, widely distributed. The sixth genus also includes
but one species — Melampsorella elatina (Alb. & Schw.) Arthur,
the aecia on Abies and the I and II forms on Alsine and Ce-
rastium. The seventh genus has this representation : Hyalopsora
aspidotus (Peck) Magn., Hyalopsora polypodii (DC.) Magn.,
Hyalopsora laeviuscula (Diet. & Holw.) Arthur, and Hyalopsora
cheilanthis (Peck) Arthur; the hosts for these all being plantae
polypodiaeceae. The next occurs on Vaccinium (the aecia on
Abies not recorded for America), namely Calyptospora colum-
naris (Alb. & Schw.) Kuehn. Then we haye a new genus,
Necium, with the single species, N. farlowii Arthur n. sp. on
Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr. The tenth genus is exclusively
filicicolous, Uredinopsis, founded by Magnus in 1893. The
American species are U. osmunda Magn., U. mirabilis (Peck)
Magn., U. pteridis Diet. & Holw., U. copelandi Syd., U. struthi-
opteridis Stroemer, and U. phegopteridis Arthur n. sp.

The last two subfamilies of the Order Uredinaceae are Chryso-
myxatae, with the cingle genus Melampsoropsis ; and Cronar-
tiatae, with the genera Cronartium, Cerotelium, Cionothrix, Al-
veolaria, Baeodromus, Endophyllum. and Pucciniosira. In both
these subfamilies the pycnia and other sori originate beneath the
epidermis, and the teliospores are catenulate. In Chysomyxatae
the aecia (if present) rupture their periderm apically ; in Cro~
nartiatae, when present their inflated periderm has circumscissile
dehiscence. The urediniospores in the first are catenulate; in
the second they are borne singly on pedicles.

We content ourselves with a mere enumeration of the spe-
cies of the two subfamilies just outlined, most of which will be at
once recognized by mycologists: Melampsoropsis empetri (Pers.)
Arth.; M. pyrolae (DC.) Arth. ; M. ledicola (Peck) Arth. ; M.
cassandrae (Peck & Clinton) Arth.; M. abietina (Alb. & Schw.)
Arthur; M. arctostaphyli (Dietel) Arth. ; M. piperiana Arthur
n. sp. ; M. chiogenis (Dietel) Arth.; Cronartium comptoniae
Arth.; Cr. comandrae Peck. ; Cr. quercus (Brondeau) Schroet. ;
Cr. ribicola Fisch. de Waldh. ; Cr. coleospoirides (Diet. & Holw.)
Arthur; Cerotelia canavaliae Arth.; Cionothrix Arthur n. gen.
and C. praelonga (Wint.) Arthur; Alveolaria cordiae Lagerh. ;
Baeodromus eupatorii Arthur ; B. holwayi Arth. ; B. californicus
Arth; Endophyllum rivinae (B. & C.) Arthur; End. vernoniae
Arthur; Pucciniosira pallida (Speg.) Lagerh.; and P. brickelliae
Diet, and Holw.

An analysis of the Aecidiaceae will be reserved until the
next part of the North American Flora appears with the con-
clusion of that family.

Here it may be remarked that the large page, clear type,

careful citation, admirable descriptions, host lists, etc., as well
as the synoptic keys to the families, the genera, and the species,
are all to be most highly commended.

This publication deals with minute plants and as has been
well said they must be studied with a corresponding minutia.
We may regret it but it was inevitable — the simplicity of the
old order of things has disappeared. To know the Rusts is to
know their life histories, their spore forms, the structure of the
sorus, and the various morphological characters — all of which,
together with apparent phylogenetic relationships, have been em-
ployed by the author in constructing this exhaustive monograph,
epoch making and destined to become classic.

AN APPLE ROT DUE TO VOLUTELLA.

F. L. STEVENS AND J. G. HALL.
N. C. Agr. Exp. Station.

A black rot of apples closely imitating in appearance that
caused by Sphaeropsis. but differing from the sphaeropsis rot
in several details, has been observed frequently in various sec-
tions of this State, on native apples and on apples shipped into
the State from a distance.

In general appearance the disease consists of a rotten black
spot upon the fruit. The central and older portions of the de-
cayed region are of an intense coal black color. The younger
region of the spot, its outer border, a zone about 14 mm. in
width, is brownish.

Close inspection reveals the presence of slightly elevated
pimple-like places in the cuticle. These are found to within
3 or 4 mm. of the edge of the spot, and become larger and
more pronounced as the center of the spot is approached. Indeed
the black color of the spot is due to the thick setting of these
black pimples all over its surface. In many instances unless
the spot be very old no other development is seen, and the dis-
ease might readily be considered to be the ordinary black roi
caused by Sphaeropsis, and doubtless often passes for it. In
older spots however, the pimples are seen to have broken through
the cuticle of the apple, and each pimple appears as a small
wart-like excresence, and a good lens shows that it is thickly
beset with stiff black hairs. These hairs constitute the distinctive
character of this disease, and serve to separate it with ease and
certainty from the Sphaeropsis rot, provided the rot has devel-
oped far enough to exhil^it this character.

On slicing the apple open it is seen that the zone most re-
cently invaded is brownish, while all the older portion is black.

May 1907] An Apple Rot Due to Volutella 95

While the decayed portions are softer than the healthy, this
is in no sense a wet rot, the softness being due to a spongy
dryness rather than to a watery dissolution. Upon microscopic
examination the cells of the old, dark, diseased portion of the
apple are found to be filled with a tangled mass of black or
dark brown fungous threads which are richly septate and much
branched ( Fig. i ) . In thickness they vary from 5 to 7 ju. in
the older portions. In the newly invaded cells the mycelium is
usually only about 2 ju. thick and is colorless.

As the spot ages the mycelium develops more abundantly in
a few layers of cells next to the cuticle, particularly immediately
under the cuticle. From this sub-cuticular. layer of tangled my-
celium there develops a cushion of hyphae which are arranged
parallel and stand upright, perpendicular to the substratum.
These hyphae are quite uniform in thickness and regular in
arrangement, composed of short, rectangular cells (Fig. 2).
These upright hyphae increase in length, rupture the cuticle and
develop the tubercular mass, "sporodochium," characteristic of
the order Tuberculariales. The sporodochia attain a height of
100 to 125 /x and a diameter nearly twice as great. About
midway from base to top of the sporodochium the hyphae be-
come narrower and the setae have their insertion. The setae
develop directly from hyphae which stand amid sporophores and
are indistinguishable from them, their only point of difference
being that the setigerous hyphae broaden out at the end and
develop into typical setae while the sporogenous proceed to spore
development. Each setum is produced from the tip of a single
hypha (Fig. 3). The setae are from 100 to 400/* long, taper-
ing from the base to tip. At base they are 5 to 8 /u. broad
and bear from 2 to 5 septae (Fig. 4).

At the upper end of the erect fuscous or black hyphae.
which constitute the sporodochium is a simple, slender hyaline
stalk ''condiophore'' from 25 to 35 ju, by 3 //. which bears
the spore. The conidiophores together constitute the outermost
layer of the sporodochium. The spores are produced acrogen-
ously. being cut off from the tips of the conidiophore by con-
striction of the fertile hyphae.

The spores are oblong-fusoid to falcate-fusoid with acute
ends (Fig. 5) hyaline or very slightly olivaceous, continuous,
though with the low power of the microscope they often appear
uniseptate ov/ing to peculiarities of the protoplasm in this region.
They measure from 17 to 23 /a long by 2.5 to 3.5 m broad.

Placed in apple agar in hanging drop cultures they germin-
ate in about three hours ; at first by a single liyphal thread near
one end of the spore, but later other points of germination can
be seen. When germination begins the spores become very
coarsely granular. The granules become fewer in number and
larger as germination proceeds. Later by the migration of the

96 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 13

granules into the young- hyphae clear spaces appear. Often the
end of the germ tube swells, becomes cut ofif by a wall and rap-
idly assumes a dark color and, in general, takes on the appear-
ance of the black bodies which are so characteristic a feature
in the germination of the anthacnoses. As with the anthracnoses
this body may remain without further development or it may
germinate immediately (Fig. 6).

There has been much doubt as to the true nature of these
structures. Frank^ regarded them as holdfasts to assist in
securing penetration into the host. Hasselbring- as the result of
recent investigation regards them in he same light. Other writ-
ers have variously considered them as spores, secondary spores,
buds, gemmae chlamydospores, etc. References to the literature
regarding these bodies is to be found in Hasselbring's article.

These structures have been described for Colletotrichum
and Gleosporium, one of the authors of this paper having studied
them in some twenty-five species from these two genera,^ in
Polystigma, Fusicladium and V^olutella.*

Transfers into solidified pea agar and apple agar plates were
made under aseptic conditions from the regions immediately be-
neath the skin in a diseased spot, also from the diseased tissue
near the boundary between diseased and healthy portions, and
in every instance pure cultures of the fungus were obtained.
Pure cultures were also obtained by plating from water contain-
ing the spores of the fungus.

Grown upon plain agar or pea agar the mycelium was hya-
line with many black tubercles ; on agar containing carbohydrates
as starch or sugar the mycelium was densely black.

In none of the cultures upon artificial media were spores
formed. On sterilized apple twigs, however, spores were formed
in great abundance. The mycelium on this medium was at most
only slightly fuscous and was in most cases hyaline.

Inoculations were made from mycelium grown in pure cul-
tures by pricking the skin of an apple and laying on, or insert-
ing, a bit of the mycelium. Within a few days a well developed
spot was obtained.

Many attempts were made to secure inoculations through
unbroken cuticle but in no instance with success. It is evident
that a bruise or break of some kind is necessary. This evidence
correlates well with the fact that the disease, as is true of so
many fruit diseases, is much more conmion at the blossom end,

or the stem end, than at other points. The rot occurs at either
end of the fruit more often than elsewhere, because it is at these
places that the cuticle is most liable to injury.

The tubercular development places the fungus unquestion-
ably among the Tuberculariales. Further the road is not so clear.
Judging strictly from the color of the mycelium it must go to
the Dematiae, but a glance over its possible kin there reveals none
which are of certain affinity. Admitting that it is possibly a
Mucedineae, it clearly must belong to the genus Volutella. This
genus is made up mainly of light colored fungi, though several
of the genus are very dark, notably V. Acalyphae, oxyspora,
Violae, CitruUi and Allii. From a structural viewpoint this
fungus seems much closer to Volutella than to any of the Dema-
tiae. In view of the purely physiological nature of the color
character, as shown by our cultures, it being dependent upon the
presence of carbohydrates — which is present in abundance in
the natural medium of the apple — we believe we are doing no
violence to facts in placing it in the genus Volutella.

As a Volutella it stands closest to the species named above,
yet is distinct enough from them to be regarded as a separate
species for which a description is herewith proposed.

It dififers from oxyspora in larger sporodochium, 150-400
y. and longer setae, shorter spores and longer basidia ; from
Citrulli in shape of spores ; from Allii, sporodochia larger not
convex or elongate, setae longer ; from Violae in character of
sporodochium, see Bot. Gaz. 26:85, P^- XIV: from Acalyphae
in size of spores.

the prominent subcuticular pycnia, and the long and numerous aecia,
but especially on account of the very odd spores, which are exceedingly
large, with coarsely marked thick walls, much thickened above. The
characters of the pycnia and aecia are so unlike those of autoecious
species on Malpighiaceae that it is assumed to be heteroecious. The
fact that the pycnia are subcuticular indicates that it does not belong
to the Uromyces-Puccinia group but to some genus of the Raveneliatae
or Uropyxidatae. Both host and fungus of a specimen in the New
York Botanical Garden, collected at Rancho Guerro, Jalisco, Mexico,
June 15, 1892, by M. E. Jones, said to be on an Ericaceous host, agree
perfectly with this Guatemalan specimen. Because of the long, bladdery
peridia there is a resemblance to Peridermium, and the Mexican speci-
men has been so labeled, but there can now be no doubt that it belongs
here.

This fungus was found in a single locality, a moist mountain ra-
vine, infesting a dense clump of the large grass which for the most
part had succumbed to the parasite. The material was submitted to
Professor Atkinson for identification. This species was first detected in
Trinidad, the host being Panicum palmi folium.

been collected on the continent, the other collections coming from the
West India Islands. The host has been identified by John Donnell Smith.

was originally collected in Mexico by E. W. D. Holway. on Tithonia
tubaeformis and T. tagetiflora. The authors of the species remark that it
is much like P. helianthi Schw., but the spores are darker, average-
smaller, and the septum is less thickened at the sides.

THE PHALLOIDEAE OF TEXAS.

BY WILLIAM H. LONG.

The fall of 1902 was unusually wet for this State and cold
weather was late in coming, as our first good frost did not occur
until Nov. 22. Such climatic conditions brought forth a wealth
of fungi ; the Basidiomycetes and Gastromycetes being especially
abundant. It was the good fortune of the writer to collect and
have photographed five species of that unique and interesting
group of Gastromycetes — the Phalloids.

He was especially fortunate in securing an abundance of
eggs, expanded plants, etc., of two species, thereby making
possible a study of the variations that occur in a given species.
The habitats of these plants are much the same, at least for
four out of the five species collected. They require a soil loose
enough so that the eggs can form readily, and it must he fairly
rich in decaying vegetable matter and usually not shaded.

In an old sandy field, that had not been ploughed for seven
or eight months, four species were found, viz: Mntinus caninus,
Phallus rubicundus. Phallus impiidicus var. imperialis, and Sim-
blum sphaerocephalum. This field was on the north slope of

May 1907] The Phalloideae of Texas 103

a hill that was originally covered with post oak (Quercus minor)
and black jack {Q. nigra), but the trees had been cut off for
some years and the old stumps were in various stages of decay.

At the base and in the immediate vicinity of these rotting
stumps the plants mentioned were usually found. On the mar-
gin of this field in the grassy unbroken sod Simblum texense was
collected. This field was planted in v/heat in the fall of 1901
and was used as a pasture for cattle during 1902.

Nearly all of the photographs secured were taken by a local
photographer on cloudy days and in some instances v/Iien the
rain was falling, as this group will not admit of delay if photo-
graphs of the freshly expanded plants are desired. Some here
reproduced therefore do not show details as well as could be
desired.

The abundance of material at hand of some species made
it possible for the writer to determine the relative values of
the various characters of a given species.

The following characters were found to be constant for
any given species, viz : Color of stipe, pileus and eggs, surface
markings of cap. structure of stipe as to number, shape and
openings of the chambers ; variable characters v/ere : shape of
both stipe and pileus within narrow limits, presence or absence
of a veil, size of stipe and cap and shape and size of ,eggs.

Take the cap of Phallus impudiciis for instance. It was
invariably white and strongly reticulate, but its size and shape
was very variable in some plants being very unsymmetrical but
more or less conic to campanulate but even in specimens only
two inches tall the surface had the characteristic crests and
ridges. On some specimens no veil could be detected, while
on others there was a strongly developed veil, but this point
%\'ill be discussed more in detail later in this article.

In Simblum texense the variation in shape and size of pileus
and stipe was very marked ; the stipe being cylindrical, fusiform,
clavate. attenuate downward or upward, terete or angular, while
its color and structure was constant ; the pileus likewise was very
variable as to shape and size, some specimens being deeply con-
stricted at juncture of pileus and stipe, while in others there
was no constriction. Some had the Simblum characters well
defined, while others looked more like a Lysurus with short
arms than a Simblum. Indeed it is difficult to determine the
genus of this plant from the ordinary field specimens.

The first specimens found of Phallus impndicus var. imper-
ialis, consisted of two separate bunches of eggs. One bunch of
four eggs from a common rhizomorph, the other of eight plants
also from a common root. All of the eggs in the first group
were infested by the larvae of some unknown fly (Mttscidae),
also several eggs in the second group. This is the first instance
to the writer's knowledge of an insect attacking the eggs of

104 /ournal of Mycology [Vol. 13

any of the Phalloids, altho it is well known that various species
of flies (Miiscidae) eagerly suck the syrupy mass of spores as
the gleba deliquesces — by this means the wider distribution of the
spores is accomplished ; while the passage through the digestive
tube of the fly may aid in the germination of the spores. A
microscopic examination of the excreta from the flies that are
feeding on the deliquescent gleba shows it to be composed largely
of spores, apparently unharmed. This syrupy mass acts on them
like a dose of salts, producing a kind of diarrhoea.

A third insect was found feeding on all the Phalloids except
Simhlnm- tcxcnse — a species of dung beetle or "tumble bug"
(Geotrupes opacus Hald.), The beetles first attack the stipe.
One was found on the stipe of Phallus impudicus eating a circle
around it, thereby cutting it down ; its mate was at the base of
the plant, busily engaged in digging a hole in the ground ; when
the stipe fell both beetles attacked it.

This species of dung beetle apparently makes no balls but
digs holes under the mass of dung on which they may be feed-
ing. It is interesting to note that the same process was followed
while feeding on the Phalloids. They eat the stipe down to the
ground but do not attack the volva ; the entire stipe and cap
was often devoured so that nothing was left but the stump of
the stipe in the volva and the numerous holes that the beetles
had dug near by. I found specimens of Phallus rubicundus,
Phallus impudicus, Mutinus caninus, and Sinihlum sphaeroce-
phalum, all attacked and eaten by this beetle, but strange to
say, not one plant of the many specirriens found of Simblum
texcnse was eaten — probably because this plant has not the foetid
odour so characteristic of this group.

At one time I had about one hundred and fifty to two hund-
red eggs of the various species of Phalloids in my "incubator"
and during the course of their expansion it was noticed that
cold had a marked eflPect on the elongation of the stipe — in
all cases checking it ; and when the thermometer was below or
near freezing point stopping all elongation. This was so marked
that I had to resort to artificial heat to get some of my eggs
to expand. This indicates that the elongation of the stipe or
receptaculum is a growth process as advanced by Errera and
Burt. The large number of eggs of the various species of Phal-
laids that T collected, together with the cool weather during
November, forced me to devise some means whereby I could
with little trouble hatch them, as there was no hot house con-
venient. At first, T used with fairly good success the following
plan. I took a pine box one and a half to two feet deep and
covered the bottom with clean white sand to the depth of eight
to ten inches. The eggs were then washed and wrapped with
tissue paper, leaving only the upper part free ; they were then
put into holes in the sand with only the upper and free surface

May 1907] The Phalloideae of Texas 105

exposed, the sand being previously thoroughly wetted. The
box was then covered with glass and placed near a wood stove
and every eight or twelve hours — usually once at night and
again early next morning, a gallon of water, hot as the hand
could stand, was poured over the eggs and on the sand ; by
this means the sand and the air in the interior of the box
was kept warm and moist. Eggs of Phallus inipudicus. Phallus
rubicundus, Mutinus caninus, and Simblum texense were thus
hatched. The writer found great trouble in getting the eggs
of Simblum texense to hatch in a moist chamber on account
of a species of white mould attacking and destroying them.
In warm w,eather all that is necessary is to keep the sand wet
and the box in the sun light with the glass over it. Some sixty
to a hundred eggs of Simblum texense were expanded by this
means.

Later, when some one hundred or more eggs of Phallus im-
pudicus, some as large as a man's fist and weighing one pound,
were found, it became necessary to devise another way for hatch-
ing, as such a quantity of large eggs occupied much space and
could not be kept warm by the methods given above. A hole was
dug on the south side of my house and into this was set a large
box about three feet long, three wide, and two feet deep ; which
was filled with sand to a depth of twelve to fourteen inches.
Into the sand after wetting it were put the eggs, the box cov-
ered with glass and left exposed to the sun's rays during the
day; at night it was covered with a blanket. In this box I
hatched most of my Phallus impudicus specimens. The last egg
expanded on January 23rd, two months after they were put in ;
but very few of the eggs of the other species would expand
under these conditions. Simblum sphaerocephalum was exceed-
ingly difficult to hatch ; only two good specimens were obtained.

A careful study of the specimens of Phallus impudicus and
Phallus rubicundus, as they were expanding, seems to indicate
that Dictyophora is not a good genus. Many of the plants, espe-
cially of Phallus impudicus, showed veils of varying degrees of
permanency — from a mere film to one of appreciable thickness,
and in every respect, as to texture, size, thickness, and position
comparable to the so-called veil of D. ravenelii. This veil in
Phallus impudicus and Phallus rubicundus lies in the unexpanded
plant as a zone of tissue next to the stipe. As the stipe elongates
this membrane usually ruptures at edge of cap or beneath it,
then as elongation continues bands and shreds of it may be left
on the stipe. It will be found in one of three places and some-
times in all of them; first, as a veil hanging from top of stipe
beneath the cap; second, as a distinct membrane in bands and
patches on the stipe; third, as an enveloping sac-like membrane
around the base of the stipe inside of the volva ; here it seems to
be a prolongation of the inner cup-like membrane of the volva

106 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 18

that fits closely to the base of the stipe. This membrance like that
of Phallus ra-venelii is not composed of pseudoparenchyma, but
in every other respect it is a true veil. It seems to me that on
the believers in the genus Dictyophora falls the burden of proving
that the veils of those plants that they place under this genus
are not homologous to this veil in Phallus impudicus.

That those species with a persistent, well developed, meshed
pseudoparenchymatous veil, like Phallus duplicatus, deserve spe-
cial rank seems not proven — for intergrading forms of more
or less persistent and well defined veils are present in many
species of Phallus ; furthermore, the presence of a well defined
veil in Phallus impudicus, the original type of the Phallus genus,
would make this genus have as one of its characters a veil and
the genus Dictyophora would now be identical in all respects to
Phallus and wiuld therefore be reduced to synonomy.

The fact that the earlier writers did not mention this veil on
Phallus impudicus is no proof that it did not exist, and when
found would become as much a character of the genus as if it had
been described at first. I have in my collection three species
of Phalloids, Phallus impudicus. Phallus rubicuiidus, and Phal-
lus aurantiacus ( ?) — the last from Hawaii, on which even
when dry the veils show plainly, as much so as on D. ravenelii
I have further a specimen of D. dupUcata from New York that
shows two veils, one the usual meshed veil beneath the cap, the
other membraneous and in patches on the stipe just as in the
other Phalli. Now this second veil may be one of two things,
either a part of a true second veil that was formed beneath the
usual veil, or, what is more probable, it is the lower part of the
usual veil left clinging to the stipe. That such is the character
of the lower part of the veil of D. duplicata. see Burt in the Phal-
loideae of the United States, II. Systematic Account, pp. 387 and

388-

The veils in my specimens were especially pronounced in

plants that were slow in opening both in Phallus impudicus and
Phallus rubicundus. Those eggs that had been some three or four
weeks in the "incubator" usually had thicker and more permanent
veils than those that opened two or three days after collecting,
while those found in the open fields had veils well developed if
eggs opened during rainy weather. Also those plants that opened
after cold weather came had veils. Specimens of Pltallus rubi-
cundus collected at Austin, Texas, during April, May and June,
have no sign of a veil of any kind, not even the alcoholic ma-
terial (of which I have some ten to fifteen specimens) shows
any trace of a veil. Considering these facts it would seem that
this layer of tissue that sometimes tears loos and forms a veil
and sometimes does not, acts as an organ of nutrition in which is
stored, or through which passes, food to be used bv the stipe and
cap; if this be the case then in warm damp weather the matur-

May 1907] The Phalloideae oj Texas 107

ing stipe and cap would use most of this in their development,
so that at elongation of plant no real veil would appear. In other
words, it would cling to the under side of the cap and to the
inner surface of the volva ; but if the amount of water during
the growing season was in excess of the quantity usually present,
then this tissue with others v/ould be more strongly developed
than normally and therefore would be more likely to appear as a
veil at maturity of the plant ; or if from any cause, as cold, re-
moval from earth, etc., the later developm.ent of plant should be
checked, then this tissue would appear as a veil ; this is only an
hypothesis the proof of which remains yet to be worked out. At
any rate the fact remains that in these two species the veil may

twentieth the two large bunches of eggs were found in a low
damp place, rich in vegetable debris, one bunch was so badly
eaten by the fly larvae that none of the eggs hatched, but two
of the eggs of the larger bunch hatched. This bunch is seen in
photograph No. i then No. 2 shows it with two eggs hatched,
and some had been removed from bunch being destroyed by the
larvae.

On November the fourteenth, in an old cornfield near a
small creek in a low but well drained place, some four or five
eggs, also as many expanded plants and quite a number of de-
cayed ones were found. All of the gleba had been cleaned off
of the older plants by the flies and one with the gleba just be-
ginning to deliguesce was a perfect mass of large blue bottle
flies, so thoroughly had the flies done their work that not a drop
of the gleba had fallen on the stipe or on the ground from any
of the expanded plants. On November the twentieth in an old
cornfield in a jatch of Johnson grass {Sorghum halapcnsc), I
found a second lot of eggs and plants, some twenty to thirty in
all, and finally on November the twenty-third I collected fifty-
three eggs and eight to ten expanded plants in twenty minutes'
time, from a spot about ten yards square. Some of these eggs
were as large as a man's fist, and one weighed fourteen ounces.
This was also in an old corn field, on the margin of the same
creek. These eggs were by far the finest and the largest I had
yet found and their abundance fairly made my '"'eyes bulge;"
from this "garden" alone, I gathered in all about one hundred
eggs and plants. They were growing in limited areas, as if the
mycelium had started from some central point and had spread
for four or five yards in more or less of a circle.

I had to be careful not to step on the eggs they were so
thick in the center of this circle; I just piled them up in
heaps like potatoes, some fifteen to twenty in a pile. The
eggs were usually about one-third to one-fourth out of the
ground and being of a purplish tint and in bare soil they
were easily seen. They were especially numerous in the old
corn rows, often from one to four or more eggs being being
found at the base of each old corn stalk, the mycelium usually
filling the corn roots and extending down into the soil twelve to
eighteen inches and then branchig out in all directions. All of
this lot were collected after our first frost and freeze, but most
of them opened in my "incubator."

As late as the middle of January, after snow, sleet and
severe cold, I collected some four or five live eggs and two or
three freshly expanded plants. The expanded plants were very
short, the pilei barely being clear of the volva. The large eggs did
not make such tall plants, the extra size making a larger pileus,
more jelly, and thicker peridium of the volva. Often this inner
peridium would be so thick and tough that it did not rupture

May 1907] The Phalloideae oj Texas 109

sufficiently for the entire pileus to emerge and so a large part —
more than half in some cases — of the pileus and often all the
gleba was torn ofif and remained in the volva.

Some of the eggs that remained in the incubator for three or
four weeks before expanding had the lower part of the stipe,
especially the portion remaining in the volva, stained with the
purplish hue of the volva. This was noticeably true of plants
from small eggs, which apparently were not fully matured when
collected. These eggs opened, but did not make large plants,
and the bases of the stipes and the inner cup adjacent to the
stipe were stained by the purple juice from the volva.

It was on immature and depauperate specimens of this plant
that Cragin founded "Phallus purpuratus." Here is a description
made from plants hatched from the same lot of eggs as the
normal P. impudicus, only the eggs were small and apparently
immature. A comparison of this description with Cragin's will
show that the plants are identical. Eggs globose, i^ to i^inches,
smooth or wrinkled, firm or somewhat soft, of a purple-pink
color, portion of plant exterior to volva about 2 inches, stipe of
a spongy-cellular appearance, equal or fusiform, of 3-several lay-
ers of chambers thick, inner chambers largest, portion of stipe en-
closed in volva suffused with pink, also inner portion of volva or
cup in which the base of stipe rests, a deeper pink ; stipe 3 in.
tall by |-inch thick, pileus pitted and reticulate about if -inch tall,
conic-campanulate. The eggs from which this description was
drawn were collected November 25 and opened December 26.

There is no doubt that Cragin's plant is only an immature
and depauperate form of P. impudicus var. imperialis, caused by
cold weather, for the plant on which his description was based
was collected in October ; in Kansas this would be after cold,
frosty weather had come.

In eggs that stand for several weeks before opening, the
jelly becomes watery and shrink in size, until the outer region
of the volva lies against the unexpanded stipe and pileus, while
the lower half of the volva being firmer and not so gelatinous,
holds its shape and size. Eggs under such conditions look much
like an acorn in its cup. This was noticed of other species of
Phalloids also. It was probably such an immature specimen as
this that Mr. Lloyd speaks of in his Mycological Notes. Among
the 100 or more plants that expanded from the eggs were several
with the margin of the pileus sterile for ^ to ^ inch and more or
less strongly crinkled to sinuate-dentate ; this form would cor-
respond to Phallus iosmos Burt, while P. roseus would be a
larger form of P. purpuratus and probably due to the same
causes. None of these seem to deserve even a variety rank.

ones, ovate to globose, 2-3 cm. tall by 1-3 cm. thick. Stipe cy-
lindric-fusiform to fusiform, hollow, scarlet, 9-15 cm. tall by i^
to 2.\ cm. in diameter, walls of several chambers thick, which
open onto outer and inner surfaces of stipe as pits ; chambers
fsodiametric, pseudoparenchymatous ; apex perforate or imper-
forate, but usually perforate as the plant ages, by scarlet top of
apex falling entirely off of plant ; joined to pileus by a narrow
irregular scarlet collar or ring. Pileus conic, smooth or rugose,
scarlet, sometimes extending below gleba into a narrow sterile
border, whose edges are finely crinkled to dentate, pseudoparen-
chymatous, 1-2 cm. wide to 2-3 cm. tall. Gleba at first Isabella
color, becoming a dirty yellowish brown when deliquescing, odor
very foetid. Veil v/a nting or when present, membranous floc-
cose, white beneath pieus or in hands or patches on the stipe or
clinging to stipe within volva as in P. impudicus. Spores oblong

places Austin, Tex., April, May and Nov., 1900, or in old sandy
fields near rotting oak stumps and along fences in sandy soil.
Denton, Tex., Nov. to Jan., 1902 and 1903.

This species was very abundant at Austin, Texas, during the
nionths of April and May, 1900, caused by the excessively wet
season. All the Austin specimens were found on lawns or in
other grassy unshaded places, often in groups of 4-6 plants, usu-
ally one large expanded plant surrounded by eggs of various
ages, which usually produced much smaller plants than the first
and central one, all attached to a common net work of mycelium,
but usually not in contact as were the eggs of P. impudicus.
Sonje eggs were two or three inches from central plant, but all
within a radius of 4 inches and when the dirt was washed away
v;erc seen to be attached to a common network of white mycelial
strands. This mycilium ramified in all directions among the old
and decaying grass roots that lie some 3 or 4 inches below the
living turf. The eggs in some of these bunches produced wee
plants, often only one inch tall but perfect copies of their larger
brothers.

The mycelium seems to be perennial in the soil as the owners
of the lawn from which most of the plants were obtained, stated
that every year for ten years they had noticed "the red stinking
things on their lawn."

The caps of the Austin sj)ccime'is show all degrees of rough-
ness, some are smooth, other have upper part smooth and lower
part wrinkled, some have one side smooth, the other rugose, while
still others — usually the large plants — are strongly wrinkled
over the entire surface, the ridges in all cases are longitudinal
and more pronounced on lower half and at margin of the pileus,
(See Fig. 6.) The caps of the Denton plants are smooth or
only slightly rugose. This .shows that too much stress should
not be laid on the smoothness or rugosity of the pileus as it

May 1907] The Phalloideae of Texas 111

varies materially in the same species. The Austin specimens
were larger and in greater numbers than the Denton plants,
due to the warmer weather and richer soil. The Austin plants
often showed a sterile fringe from 2-4 mm. broad at base of
caps while the Denton specimens did not have this sterile border;
the Denton plants were solitary while the Austin ones were
grouped. The spores of the Austin plants are of two types,
one of the common size and shape 2-4 /x but intermixed with
the mare found ovate to ovate-oblong spores from 3-4 and
6-8 ft, in size ; these large spores cling together in bunches of 2-8
at their smaller ends, indicating that they might not be true spores
but only basidia, otherwise they have every appearance of true
spores ; the Denton plants have the usual type of spore. No
veils were noticed on any of the Austin specimens at the time
they were collected and a careful examination of alcoholic
material (some 20 plants) shows no sign of a veil; apparently
only the Denton plants hav.e this character and some of them did
not show it. The veil in this species is not as well developed
or as persistent as the veil of P. impudicus. It was usually a
mere membrane that disappeared as the plants aged, but is iden-
tical in position and characters with that of Dictyophora ravenciii.
It was more pronounced on plants slow to expand under artificial
methods. The volva occasionally ruptures circumciscily and the
upper part is carried on the apex of the pileus. This is caused
by the egg becoming too dry and the volva adhered to the apex,
when the stipe elongated the volva ruptured as indicated. The
same thing was seen by the writer at Ithaca, N. Y., in a speci-
men of Mutinus caninus, due to the same cause ; it is a common
occurrence with Simblln/m texense. . That P. rnbicundus is only a
red form of D. ravenelii as suggested by Burt (The Phalloideae
of the United States, II. Bot. Gaz. 22:385, 1896) I do not
believe as I have never found any white forms or any approach
to white ones among the many plants I have seen and collected
in this state.

much larger than the others and composed of longitudinal cham-
bers which are many times longer than broad, irregularly poly-
gonal in cross section, opening neither inwardly nor outwardly.
Pileus depressed hemispherical or often, in field specimens, cap-
like and usually with remains of volva adhering to apex, com-
posed of more or less isodiametric meshes, the outer row of
which is usually free from stipe at its outer and lower margin,
meshes verv^ irregular in shape and size from 10-20 in all, 8-10
marginal, usual size 4-5 mm. across and of 4-6 sides, bars pale
yellow only faintly transversely rugose, pileus on plants in
field always more or less distorted so that the true character
of the plant is difficult to determine, gleba mass brown, not readily
deliquescent but usually persistent between the bars till rains or
dews wash it oflf, when it does deliquesce, it blackens and has
the odor of carrion. When fresh gleba and entire plant has a
very pronounced and pleasant amy! acetate odour.

Volva ciramiscissile, upper part borne aloft on pileus, spores
greenish hyaline, oval to ovate 3x7/1,. Eggs depressed globose
to globose-ovate. 1-4 cm. in diameter, rooting, solitary, rarely in
pairs from a common root, occasionally twin plants from same
egg, gelatinous layer not continuous but divided into chambers
by cortical plates which are prolonged from bars of meshes out-
ward to the outer layer of volva and downward toward the
base of the egg, the nuinber of chambers corresponding approxi-
mately to the number of meshes in the pileus. In open grassy
pastures, Sept.-Dec. This was by far our most abundant Phalloid
during 1902, several hundred eggs and expanded plants being
found. After every rain the eggs appear in great numbers over

May 1907] The Phalloideae of Texas 113

the prairie pastures. This species seems to be especially adapted
to xerophytic conditions, as the eggs will persist during dry
weather in a dried up condition, but when rain comes they swell
up and finally elongate. Several eggs were collected and allowed
to dry and shrink till they became hard and apparently dead,
they were then placed in water, which was at once absorbed and
the eggs gradually assumed their normal condition, they were
then put in a moist chamber and several expanded.

This plant is unique in many respects. First, its agreeable
odour so different from the usual Phalloid ; second, its ovate
spores ; third, its persistent gleba, which in the field specimens
rarely deliquesces but dries up and remains on the pileus as a
hard brownish mass to be finally washed off by the rains ; fourth,
the utter absence of all visits from insects of any kind, no flies
were ever seen to visit them, even when the gleba had deliquesced
and become black and foetid ; no herbarium insects even will eat
the dried plants, for I have them in my herbarium now after a
lapse of 5 years, absolutely untouched by anything and yet
exposed in an open box, while most of my other Phalloids
have been badly damaged by a small beetle. Fifth, the great
variability of its pileus as to shape, no two plants being alike
especially when the elongation occurs in the open field. Sixth, its
circumscissile volva, on most plants the upper part of the volva
is carried up on top of the pileus as the stipe elongates and
remains there as a persistent cap, usually covering all of the
meshes except the outer and marginal row. This method of
rupturing the volva is caused by the eggs becoming partially dried
before elongation and the outer layer of the volva is thus brought
into contact with the top of the pileus and adheres more or
less firmly to it according to the amount of drying that the
eggs have undergone, now when the plant begins to elongate the
volva ruptures helozv this adhering portion and thus becomes cir-
cumscissile. the sam.e phenomenon was noticed in eggs of P. riibi-
cundiis which had dried before expanding, also in eggs of Mntinus
caninus. Eggs of S. texense that have not dried any before col-
lection when put into a moist chamber ruptured the volva at the
apex in the usual way as do most Phalloids. Some specimens
of this plant when dry look much like a Lysurus so that this
may be Ellis's Lysurus texensis.

It has been four years since the body of this article was
written and only a stray Phalloid has been seen in that time;
except in Oct. 1905, when some 30 or 40 specimens of Sinihlum
sphaerocephalum were collected in a low damp place among tall
grass and weeds ; a few of these plants were nearly white.

Two other Phalloids have been reported from Texas, both
of which are supposed to be in the Ellis Collection, now the pro-
perty of Columbia University, but twice within the last four years
has a careful search through this collection failed to bring to

specimens are lost as both Burt and myself have been unable to
locate them.

NOTES FROM MYCOLOGICAL LITERATURE. XXIII.

W. A, KELLERMAN.

Peck, Charles H.

"A New Species of Galera" — G. kellermani — is described
in the July No. of the Journal of Mycology by Professor Peck,
who adds : The distinguishing characters of this species are its
broadly expanded or plane grayish brown pileus with its minutely
granulose or mealy surface, its persistently striate margin and
its very narrow gills becoming brownish with age. The indica-
tion of a veil is also unusual. A full-page half tone illustrates
the new species.

Hedgcock, Geo. G. and Spaulding, Parley.

These authors outline a "New Method of Mounting Fungi
Grown in Cultures for the Herbarium." The plan is to grow
the specimens on rather stiff agar-agar and protect them (the
agar plates having been divided into square blocks) by means
of perforated cardboard — see Journal of Mycology for July
1906. They say that "This method of mounting has proven very
convenient with specimens of Stilbum, Graphium, Ceratosto-
mella, Hormodendron and other similar fungi ; it is best, how-
ever, to poison the specimen after mounting, by spraying it with
a strychnine solution."

Kellerman, W. A.

An itinerary of a "Mycological Expedition to Guatemala" is
given in the July number of the Journal of Mycology (1906),
with some account of the general topography of the country, the
climate, hydrography, the general character of the vegetation in
the several regions visited, including Lakes Atitlan and Amatitlan,
also three of the highest volcanoes.

Charles, Vera K.

The "Occurrence of Lasiodiplodia on Theobroma cacao and
Mangifera indica," see Journal of Mycology, July, 1906, deals
with a preliminary study of infected plants from Brazil and
Florida. It is supposed that the species is L. tubericola E. & E.
— to be determined by cultures, and reported later.

Bergen, Joseph Y, and Davis, Bradley M.

In a new and excellent text book called "Principles of Bot-
any," Messrs. Bergen and Davis devote two chapters to Fungi,
the first entitled "The Fungi and Their Relation to Fermentation
and Disease" (pp. 227-271), and the second, "Summary of the
Life Histories and Evolution of the Fungi," (pp. 272-4). The
five classes are considered : Bacteria, Schizomycetes; Yeasts
Saccharomycetes ; the alga-like fungi, Phycomycetes; the sac
fungi, Ascomycetes; and the basidia fungi, Basidiomycetes. Many
text figures are used, also two full-page plates — one (colored)
illustrating a Lichen, and the other an Agaric, a wound parasite
( PI euro tus ulmarius ) .

Garrett, A. O.

Fasicle Two of "Fungi Utahenses," collected and distributed
by A. O. Garrett, High School, Salt Lake City, Utah, is devoted
exclusively to Puccinias, including two species of Aecidium.
"Commencing with the next fascicle, the printing of the original
descriptions will be discontinued."

Blakeslee, Albert Francis.

In the September number of the Botanical Gazette (1906)
Albert Francis Blakeslee discusses the "Differentiation of sex in
Thallus Gametophyte and Sporophyte." Referring to the pre-
vious paper in which was given an account of Zygospore Germi-
nations in Some Mucorineae, the author says the purpose of the
present paper is to point out the bearing which the investigations
already made in this group may have upon the questions of sex-
uality in other forms.

Kauffrnan, C. H.

A contribution from the Botannical Department of the Uni-
versity of Michigan, published in the Botanical Gazette, Septem-
ber 1906, is devoted to "Cortinarius as a Mycorhiza-producing
Fungus." The author, C. H. Kauffman, publishes a new species,
Cortinarius rubipes, and its study is the basis for the article here
noted. He says his own observations seem to show that it is
undoubtedly a fact that one fungus may be attached to trees of
very different families. Cortinarius rubipes Kauff. is connected
with three forest symbionts.

Smith, Ralph E. and Smith, Elizabeth H.

Under the title of "A New Fungus of Economic Import-
ance" the authors give an account of a destructive rotting of lem-
ons in Southern California, which proved to be caused by a hith-
erto undescribed fungus. A new genus is proposed, Pifhiacystis,
which differs from Pithium in mode of swarmspore formation,
and from Pithiopsis in habit. It is more exactly intermediate
between the Saprolegnieae and Peronosporeae than either of
these genera. The new species is called Pifhiacystis citrophthora,
parasitic on lemons, and occasionally on other Citrus fruits, caus-
ing decay of green fruit on the tree and in the storehouse.

Long, W. H.

In the "Notes on new or rare Species of Ravenelia," Prof.
W. H. Long publishes critical comments on many species of this
interesting genus, and describes two new species, namely : Ra-
venelia piscidiae (for Florida) and Ravenelia arthuri (from
Jamaica). He states that three characters of great importance
should always be noted, to-wit, ( i ) the position of the sori,

whether sub-epidermal or sub-cuticular ; (2) the number and
position of the germ spores of the uredo-spores ; and (3) the
position and number of the cysts. In his opinion R. mexicana,
R. mim.osae-sensitivae and R. inconspicua are all one and the
same species. Four other species [he continues] are so closely
related that they should be considered as one species, viz.: R.
expansa Diet. & Holw., R. fragrans Long, R. humphreyana P.
Henn. and R. pulcherrima Arthur.

Mr. Elam Bartholomew distributed this installment of his
exsiccati December 10. 1906. A wide range of species is repre-
sented— the only very large number of species in any genera
being those of Puccinia, over a dozen ; and Uromyces, little less
than a dozen.

The alphabetical list of articles, authors, subjects, new species
and hosts, new names and synomyns, entitled "Index to North
American Mycology," which is complete for the time subsequent
to Dec. 31, 1900, was continued in the Journal of Mycology
throughout the year 1906, installments appearing in the March,
May, September, and November Nos.

The Bureaux de le "Revue de Viticulture," Paris, issues a
17-page illustrated account of the new fungus — "Sur le Stearo-
phora radicicola, champignon des Racines de la Vigne" — which
the authors detected in the living tissues and of which they say:
"nous avions d'abord songe a rattacher cette espe nouvelle au
groupe, d'ailleurs mal nomme, des Endoconidium ; les donnees
vague et insuffisantes, pubhees sur la genese des spores dans ce
genre, ne nous ont pas permis de confirmer cette assimilation, et
nous esperons pouvoir etablir, dans un travail ulterieur, que le
Stearophora constitue un groupe special representant vraisembla-
blement un type primitif d'Ascomycetes a asques dissocies."

Fungi Utahenses, Fascicle Three, July 19, 1906.

The Nos. 51-75 include twenty pkts. of Puccinia, one Caeoma,
two Chrysomyxa, one Hyalospora, and one Aecidium. Author,

In Bulletin 70, Experiment Station, State of Washington, we
find an account of the "Powdery Mildews of Washington," the
Erysiphaceae. Following the general account is a key to the
genera, then the genera and species are fully described, the ap-
pendages and spores illustrated by one full-page plate.

Douglas, Gertrude E.

This is a very interesting study, "The Rate of Growth of
Panaeolus Retirugis," Contribution No. 113 from the Department
of Botany of Cornell University. Measurements were taken
morning and evening during the latter part of March and early
April — complete records obtained for 18 plants, the rate of
growth then worked out in curves. The stem grows slowly at
ifirst, then very rapidly 40 to 56 hours, for about 24 hours slowly
again until it ceases. Growth is more rapid by night than by day.

EDITOR'S NOTES.

In a Paris letter of July last Mr. C. G. Lloyd says : "There
has been so much changing of names lately in the Polyporii that
we feel it well to state our position in this regard. The most
and best systematic work on Polyporus was done by Fries.
His system and names have been in use for two generations, and
are familiar to all. We therefore feel that no attempt should
be made to change them, except in very exceptional cases. . .
As to the genera, the question is not so simple. The genus Poly-
porus is too large and should be broken up, but I feel that as
much of the old should be retained as possible, particularly the
four leading sections with which we are all familiar." I need
not add that Mr. Lloyd condemns very emphatically the work
that has been done the last few years in making new genera
of polyporoids. In fact we must admit that at the hands of
a number of competent mycologists the work here alluded to
has not found favor.

We quote the above and allude to the situation there com-
mented upon, to emphasize the difference that obtains between
that case and the one presented by such work as is outlined
in the review in the first part of this No. of the Journal. To
Dr. Arthur's scheme it is expected that some, possibly many,
will object; for here too is "a vast array of new names." When
we read "Pyropolyporus," "Cianoderma," "Coriolus," we get no
new idea, at least no new information is suggested. But when
we are presented with "Uredinatae," Pucciniastratae," "Chryso-
myxatae," "Cronartiatae," we must form a new conception, and
look from a new point of view. So also the "vast array" of
new genera or new meaning in old genera, as "Cronartium,"
"Cerotelium," "Cionothrix," "Alveolaria," "Baeodromus," "En-
dophyllum," and Pucciniosira," stand in each case for advanced
views based on advanced knowledsfe and new valuations.

POLYPORUS PENNSYLVANICUS SP. NOV.

DAVID R. SUMSTINE.

Pileus orbicular, entire, convex to depressed, subumbilicate^
2-6 cm. broad, even, glabrous or with few scattered innate fibrils,
pale ochraceous, tan-colored to isabelline, margin thin, acute, in-
flexed, with few fugacious cilia; context white, i-io mm. thick;
tubes white, unequally haxagonal, irregular, angular, 0.5-1 mm.
long, about 2 to a mm., varying in shape and size, dissepiments
thin, edges becoming serrulate or fimbriate, decurrent; spores
large, elliptic-fusoid, nucleate, hyaline ; stipe central or some-
times somewhat excentric, 2-4 cm. long, 2-10 mm. thick, con-
colorous with the pileus or a little lighter, yellow tomentose,
especially so at the base, solid, white within, increasing above-
and expanding into the pileus, sometimes the tubes are decur-
rent to the base of the stipe giving the stipe a lacerated or retic-
ulated appearance.

The fresh plants emit a very perceptible nitrous odor.

Growing on fallen sticks, Fern Hollow, Allegheny County,
Pennsylvania.

June 12, 1906. (Type.) Also collected at Sandy Creek,.
Allegheny County.

Type specimens are in the Herbarium of the Carnegie Mu-
seum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

This plant is related to P. polyporus, P. arcularius, P. ele-
gans, P. lentus. It is most closely related to P. lentus if pub-

lentus is said to have a squamulose pileus and a thin and short
stipe. This description is not appHcable to my specimens.
Twelve sporophores in different stages of development were col-
lected and none of them appear squamulose. The pileus of an
old weathered specimen of P. lentus may become smooth just
as we find it to be the case in old specimens of P. polyporus and
P. arcularius. h\\ my specimens both old and young have a
smooth pileus. .

A STUDY OF THE LEAF-TIP BLIGHT OF DRACyCNA

FRAGRANS.

JOHN L. SHELDON.

Last winter, several diseased plants of Dracaena fragrans
were noticed in the greenhouses of the West Virginia Experiment
Station. Most of the lower leaves were dead and the middle
ones were dead at the tips. There were small black specks scat-
tered through the dead portions of the leaves, for the most part
on the upper side. A microscopical examination showed that [
the leaves had probablv been killed by a species of Gheosporium. \

After consulting 'the pathological literature in the station;
library, I decided that Dr. HalstecP had found the same disease
some years before and had called it a "leaf-tip blight." He says
in his description of it, "The fungus which was destroying the j

leaf inch by inch is a species of anthracnose of the genus Gloeos-
porium."

Several anthracnoses were being studied when this one on
the dracaena was found. Pure cultures of it were obtained for
comparison with the others. Conidia began to develop in the
cultures when they were only a day old. These conidia were
borne on the ends of hyphae from the sides of the filaments of
the radiating mycelium. A little later, acervuli began to appear
in the cultures, the mature conidia collecting in little pinkish
masses on the surface of the culture medium.

Developing along with, and for some time after, the acer-
vuli, were small black bodies resembling young acervuli ; these
bodies proved to be perithecia, containing long, slender para-
physes and club-shaped asci with hyaline, single-celled spores.
In size and general appearance, the conidia and ascospores were
alike except that most of the ascopores were slightly curved.
The perithecia varied from spherical to flask-shaped and long-
rostrate, the long-rostrate forms being for the most part deeper
in the culture medium. There was a tendency to produce only
the perithecial stage after the fungus had been grown for several
generations on artificial media.

After perithecia were obtained in the cultures, the leaves
were examined and patches of perithecia were found on them.
Pure cultures were then obtained from some of these perithecia,
and both conidial and perithecial stages developed from the as-
cospores, proving that the acervuli and perithecia on the leaves
were stages of the same fungus.

Inoculation experiments were now begun by inoculating
pieces of sterilized bean stems with conidia from the pure cul-
tures. In a few days acervuli began to show on the bean stems,
and later, perithecia. These perithecia were superficial, some-
what hairy and flask-shaped, while those on the dracsena leaves
were sub-epidermal and sub-spherical.

Three plants of Dracaena fragrans were placed side by side
in the greenhouse. After waiting several weeks to see whether
they had the same disease, two of them were inoculatd with
conidia from a pure culture. Several of the leaves were killed
back from the tips from one to three inches and one had a spot
on it. Acervuli developed in all the dead areas and perithecia
in one. The fungus was transferred from the inoculated plants
to the third by spraying them with a hose. The fungus spread
very rapidly on the infected leaves when they were removed and
placed in a moist chamber, acervuli and perithecia developing
in abundance.

I am in doubt about the taxonomy of this fungus. Dr.
Halsted^ called it a species of Gloeosporium, and so it seems to

^T7

I

140 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 13

be in one of its conidial stages, but where does its perithecial
stage belong? Species of Gloeosporium, and their near km, the
CoUetotrichiims, are so common that it does seem as if some one
must have found the perithecial stage of a few of them and de-
scribed them as species of long-established genera. This might
have been done without a knowledge of the acervial stage. There
are a few records of species of Laestadia, Physalospora, and the
comparatively new genus GlomercUa with known conidial stages
of species of Gloeosporium and CoUctoirichum; there is also a
considerable number of hosts which have species of Gloeospo-
rium and Collctotrichum (one or both) and species of Laestadia
and Physalospora (one or both) occurring upon them, but
whether any relationship exists between these acervial and
perithecial stages is probablv unknown.

This fungus, which causes the leaf-tip blight of Dracaem
fragrans, is verv similar to species of Laestadia, Physalospora,
and Glomerella having both acervial and perithecial stages, espe-
cially P. Vanillae A. Zimmerm., P. Cattleyac Maubl. & Lasnier,
and 'the apparentlv composite species Glomerella rufomaculans
(Berk.) Sp. & v. Schr. If the presence of paraphyses is taken
into consideration, it cannot be a species of Laestadia, since this
genus is not paraphysate; neither can it be a species of Glom-
erella, as this genus was originally described,' for the perithecia
in the leaves and many of the cultures are simple instead of
"caespitose or more or less compound and immersed in a stroma"
and paraphysate instead of "aparaphysate." Since it corresponds
more nearly to the genus Physalospora than to either Laestadia
or Glomerella, it is placed in this genus for the present and the
name Physalospora Dracaenae n. sp. proposed.

Mycological Writings oj Theodor Holmskjold, Etc. 141

THE MYCOLOGICAL WRITINGS OF THEODOR HOLMS-
KJOLD AND THEIR RELATION TO
PERSOON'S COMMENTATIO.

ELIAS J. DURAND.

The writer has had occasion recently to gather information
concerning the writings of Theodor Holmskjold and their rela-
tion to Persoon's Commentatio de fungis clavaeformibus. The
desired facts were finally obtained with some difficulty, and tlien
only after considerable time had been spent in looking through
literature in several libraries. Some of the publications con-
sulted are r: :-e in x^merican collections, and there is reason to
believe that 'liey are not common in those of Europe. Since
the facts ob- 'ned have already been found to be of value to
several work- s it seems desirable to put them on record in the
hope that the may be of interest to some other mycologists.

Theodor Holm, or Holmskjold, to give him his title of
nobility, was born in Nyborg, Denmark, June 14, 1732, and died
at Copenhagen, September 14, 1794. His only important mycol-
ogical work was a volume published at Copenhagen, in 1790.
I have not seen a copy of this first edition, but according to
Persoon it bore the title : Beata ruris Fungis danicis a Thcodoro
Holmskjold impensa. There is every reason to believe that it
bore also the secondary title "Coryphaei clavarias ramariasque
complectentes cum brevi structurae interioris expositione." It
was in folio form with 118 pages of text in both Danish and
Latin in parallel columns, and accompanied by 33 plates in color
with elaborate explanation. Since the volume was issued for
private circulation only and was not offered for sale very few
copies came into the hands of the public. At the death of the
author distribution ceased entirely. This work was regarded as
of great value by Persoon, and was regularly referred to by him
as "Holiusk. Coryph." , but mention of it is not common in the
writings of other authors.

Holmskj old's work was first made generally accessible in
1795 when the latin text was printed in Usteri's Annalen der
Botanik of which it constituted pages 30-149 of Stuck 17. This
article bore the title Coryphaei, etc., as above. This and the
next were in octavo form.

Two years later, in 1797, Persoon published in separate form
a new edition of Holmskjold's work under the following title:
"Coryphaei clavarias ramariasque complectentes cum brevi struc-
turae interioris expositione auctore Theodoro Holmskiold.
Denuo cum adnotationibus editi nee non commentatione de
fungis clavaeformibus aucti a C. H. Persoon." There were 239
pages illustrated by 4 colored plates. Pages 1-119 of this volume

142 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 13

correspond very closely to the text printed in Usteri's Annalen,
with the publication of which Persoon did not seem to have been
acquainted at the time since he made no mention of it. Per-
soon's "adnotationes" occupied pages 120-130, while the "Com-
mentatio de fungis clavaeformibus" constituted pages 133-236
of the text, pages 237-239 being explanations of the four colored
plates.

In the same year (1797) Persoon's Adnotationes and Com-
mentatio alone were printed separately by the same publisher
(Wolf), and under the title: "C. H. Persoonii commentatio de
fungis clavaeformibus sistens specierum bus usque notarum
descriptiones cum dififerentiis specificis, nee non auctorum syn-
onymis." There were 124 pages of text with 4 colored plates.
While I have not collated the texts, pages 1-104 correspond page
for page to pages 133-236 of the volume mentioned in the last
paragraph, except that on pages 101-104 a slight difference in
the spacing of some of the paragraphs makes a slight change
in the lines on the pages. The "adnotationes" occupied pages
107-116. The explanation of figures on pp. 117-118 is more
condensed, while the addenda, pp. 105-106, and the indices, pp.
1 19-124, are new matter. The 4 plates are the same.

This separate publication of the Commentatio, Persoon said,
was intended for the convenience of those who already possessed
the 17th fascicle of Usteri's Annalen in which Holmskjold's
Coryphaei had appeared.

After the death of Holmskjold, in 1794, his effects were
sold at auction, and the whole edition of his 1790 publication
together with all his descriptive notes and copper plates were
purchased by the agent of the king. From these manuscripts a
second volume treating of the other groups of fungi was pre-
pared under the editorship of Eric Viborg, so that in 1799 the
"Beata ruris" was issued in two volumes. Whether volume one
of this work consisted of the remaining undistributed copies of
the 1790 publication or was a reprint from the original plates
could not be determined. The work does not seem to l)e very
rare and is frequently referred to in mycological literature.

From what has been said it will be noted that Holmskjold's
text has appeared in four forms: (i) as a privately distributed
folio volume with plates, 1790; (2) as a contribution to Usteri's
Annalen without plates, 1795; (3) as a volume edited by Per-
soon without plates, 1797; (4) as volume i of "Beata ruris,"
etc., with plates. 1799. Persoon's Commentatio appeared first
in his edition of Holmskjold. 1797. and in the same year as a
reprint from the last with a modified title and slightly modified
text.

Die conidien werden terminal an langen septierten conidio-

conidiophoren durch kurze hyaline zwischenstucke verbunden.
Die Kettenform ist iiberaus verganglich, und nur ein Conidie
bleibt am Condiophor sitzen. In diesem Zustande kann eine
Verwechslung des Pilzes mit Cercospora nur dan moglich sein,
wenn man das charakteristische glasige Zwischenstiick, mit
welchem die Sporen aufsitzen, unbeachtet lasst. Die Conidien
haben vorherrschend die Form einer Keule, jedoch Kommen
sehr verschiedene Variationen vor ; ihre Farbung ist etwas heller
wie die der conidiophoren, ihre Oberflache nallig glatt und die
derbe, dicke Zellwand ist and den Septen nicht eingeschuiirt. . . .
Die vegetativen Hyphen sind fast farblos, oder doch bedeutend
blasser wie die Sporen, welche wie vorher bemerkt, heller wie
die Conidientrager sind. . .

Long, 'William H.

An article by this author entitled "The Phalloideae of
Texas" was published in the Journal of Mycology, May 1907.
The species discussed were Phallus rubicundus, Ph. impudicus
var. impenalis. Mutinus caninus, Simblum sphaerocephalum, and
S. texense (Dictybole texense), all illustrated by half-tones..
Constant characters for any given species were color of stipe,
pileus and eggs ; surface markings of cap ; structure of stipe as
to number, shape and openings of the chambers. Variable char-
acters were shape of both stipe and pileus within narrow limits ;
presence or absence of a veil ; size of stipe and cap ; and shape
and size ^ of eggs. Study of many specimens of the species of
Phallus "seems to indicate that Dictvophora is not a good genus.
Many of the plants especially of Phallus impudicus showed veils;
of varying degrees of permanency."

Fungi Utahenses. Fascicle Five, ig Jan., 1907.

This set contains specimens Nos. 101-125. Fourteen are
species of Puccinia, one Phragmidium [Ph. horteliae Garrett n.
sp. on Hortelia gordonii Hort.], one Pucciniastrum and nine
Uromyces.

Selby, A. D.

Under the caption "On the Occurrence of Phytophthora in-
festans Mont., and Plasmopora cubenses (B. & C.) Humphrey,
in Ohio," it is stated (in the Ohio Naturalist of February, 1907),
that of the first, specimens were collected in Ohio in the early
eighties ; and of the latter, in 1895. Their histories are further
outHned and environments discussed.

Wilson, Guy West.

An interesting species — "Melanospora parasitica" — collected
in a park in New York City, is reported in Torreya for March,
1907. It occurred on Isaria farinosa (Dicks) Fries, the conidial
stage of Cordyceps mihtaris (L.) Sacc. According to Sac-
cardo's Sylloge two ascomycetous fungi occur on this host — but
Mr. Wilson finds that they are one and the same species. It was
first described as Sphaeronema parasitica by Tulane, but shortly
afterward transferred to the genus Melanospora. The species
from America was described by Ellis and Everhart as Ceratosto-
ma biparasiticum. This and the Sphaeronema first mentioned
are synonyms of Melanospora parasitica L. Tul. & C. Tul.

Sumstine, David R.

Lentinus pulcherrimus n. sp. is described by Supt. Sumstine
as "A new Lentinus from Pennsylvania" — see the March num-
ber of Torreya, 1907. The plants resemble Coltricia cinnamonea
(Jacq.) Murr. and closely allied to L. villosus, sepiarius, sparsi-
barbis and pyramidatus ; to separate it from which a key is
given.

Arthur, J. C.

The morphological charcters, life cycle, and family of the
host are taken into account in establishing "New Genera of
Uredinales," as reported in the January number of the Journal
OF i\lYCOLOGY, 1907. Dr. Arthur remarks that the Rusts are
minute plants and the diagnostic characters must be sought for
with corresponding minutiae. The new genera proposed are (i)
Pelioma, in which the cycle of development includes pycnia and

172 Journal of Mycology [Vol.13

telia, both subepidermal — the type species being Puccinia nivea
Holw. ; (2) Spirechina, the cycle imperfectly known, only ure-
dinia and telia recognized, both subepidermal — based on Uredo
loeseneriana P. Henn. ; (3) Prospodiuni, cycle includes pycnia,
uredinia and telia, all subcuticular — the type Puccinia appen-
diculata Wint. ; (4) Nephylictis, cycle includes pycnia and telia,
both subcuticular — type species Puccinia elegans Schroet.

Howe, Jr., Reginald Heber.

A list is given of "Some Lichens of Mt. Watatic, Massa-
chusetts," the Bryologist for May, 1906, 38 species, which were
collected in the ascent to its summit (1875 feet) Dec. 28, 1905.

Saccardo, P. A.

Six "New Fungi from New York" are described in the
March number of the Journal of Mycology : Pleosphaeria fair-
maniana, Sphaeropsis Americana, Sphaeropsis rumicicola, Diplo-
dia hortensis, Hymenopsis hydrophila, and Zygodesmus avel-
laneus. All arc illustrated by text figures.

■Wilson, Guy West, and Seaver, Fred Jay.

It is the intention of the writers, as stated in the Journal
OF Mycology for March, 1907, to issue, as material accumulates,
exsiccati of fungi under the title "Ascomycetes and Lower
Fungi," the scope of the work being limited to Ascomycetes, Deu-
teromycetes and Phycomycetes. An annotated list of the contents
of the first fascicle, 25 species, is given. Synonomy is included
and three new combinations are made : Gloniopsis smilacis
(Schw.), Nectria purpurea (L.), and Rhytisma andromed'ae-
ligustrinae (Schw.).

Morgan, A. P.

A monographic enumeration with synoptic keys has been
begun by this author, in the Journal of Mycology for March,
1907, of the North American Species of Agaricaceae. A synop-
sis of the genera of Melanosporae, also the 20 species of Panaeo-
lus, form the first installment.

Arthur, J. C.

In a review of "McAlpine's Studies of Australian Rusts,"
Journal of Mycology, March, 1907, Dr. Arthur says the
thoroughness with which the author has accomplished his task,
the culmination of many years of observation and study, has in-
sured a valuable work of reference for both local and other bot-
anists.

July 1907] Notes from Mycological Literature 173

Bessey, Ernst A.

The genus Spegazzinia seems to stand rather apart from
any of the genera in the group Tubercularieae Dematieae, says
the author, on account of the peculiar structure of the spores.
The article, "Spore Forms of Spegazzinia ornata Sacc," in the
Journal of Mycology, March, 1907, shows that the statement in
Sylloge Fungorum is erroneous, and that the conidiospores bear
two kinds of spores — long-stalked spiny conidia and short-
stalked, smooth conidia; the two kinds of spores borne inde-
pendently of each other directly from the sporodochial hyphae.
A plate of gC'od illustrative figures accompanies the article.

A special article in Science, April 26, 1907, gives an account
of "A Plant-tumor of Bacterial Origin." For two years the
authors have been studying a tumor or gall which occurs natur-
ally on the cultivated marguerite, or Paris Daisy. The organism
has been isolated and galls have been reproduced abundantly —
the inoculation having been made with needle picks — on the
natural herb, on stems of tobacco, tomato, potato, su.^ar beets,
peach trees, the galls in the latter case closely resembling young
stages of crown gall. "It is too early, perhaps, to say positively
that the cause of the wide-spread and destructive crown-gall of

174 Jouryial of Mycolog;y [Vol.13

the peach has been determined by these inoculations, but it looks

that way That the crown-gall of the peach is due

to a myxomycete [Dendrophagus globusus] the writers have
never been willing to aduiit." The organism has been named
Bacterium tumefaciens n. sp.

Winslow, C. E, A., and Rogers, Anne F.

The "Generic Characters in the Coccaceae" is the title of
an article in Science, May 24, 1906. They say "The best basis
for a natural classification is the statistical study of a large series
of individuals, which will disclose the points about which the
largest number of races are grouped, which are presumably the
type centers around which the organisms vary." Six generic
groups are established : Streptococus, Aurococcus n. g., Diplo-
coccus, Albococcus n. g. — these forming the family Para-
coccaceae (parasitic forms) ; and Micrococcus, Sarcina, Rhodo-
coccus n. g. — forming the Metacoccaceae (saprophytic forms).

Kellerman, Karl F., and Fawcett, Edna H.

An abstract of "Movements of Certain Bacteria in Soils,"
published in Science, May 24, 1907, indicates that in sterilized
favorable soils saturated with water, Bacillus ochraceus, Pseu-
domonas radicicola, and the paracolon organism grow with equal
speed, progressing about one inch in 48 hours. In soils barely
moist Pseudomonas radicicola progresses at the rate of one inch
in y2. hours, while the two other forms are reduced to a rate of
about one inch in 8 days.

Mr. Lloyd issued "Letter No. 10" from Paris, July, 1906,
(8 pages) commenting on Polyporii received from American cor-
respondents, preceded by some general remarks on work by poly-

porists, and followed by a statement touching the Mycological
Situation in America. Among other things he says : "The most
and best systematic work on Polyporus was done by Fries. His
system and names have been in general use for two generations,
and are familiar to all. We therefore feel that no attempt should
be made to change them except in very exceptional cases."

Society of American Bacteriologists, Eighth Annual Meeting.
The report of the meeting held convocation week, 1906-7,

or less to concern general botany or taxonomy are the following :
Movements of Certain Bacteria in the Soil (Karl F. Kellerman
and Edna H. Fawcett) ; General Characters in Coccaceae (C.
E. A. Winslow and Anna F. Rogers) ; On the Cultivation of
Spirillum obermeieri (T. G. Nevy and R. R. Knapp) ; Bacteria

Massee, George.

In the Philippine Journal of Science, April, 1907, the author
gives a list of 18 species of "Philippine Myxogastres," remark-
ing that "it is not surprising, but on the contrary, somewhat
gratifying, to announce that no new species have been discov-
ered."

Ricker, P. L.

The "Third Supplement to the New Genera of Fungi pub-
lished since the year 1900, with citations and the original de-
scriptions" compiled by P. L. Ricker, is printed in the March,
May and July Numbers of the Journal of Mycology.

Holway, E. W. D.

Professor Holway has distributed Part HI, (Vol. I) of his
North American Uredineae. Hosts of about fifteen families are
included, and the serial number of the Rusts has now reached
120. New species here published are : Puccinia sidalceae Hol-
way n. sp. on Sidalcea oregana (Nutt.) Gray; Puccinia ornatula
Holway n. sp. on Viola (canadensis?), Alpine meadow glacier,
B. C. ; and Puccinia glabella Holway n. sp. on Boisduvalia gla-
bella (Nutt.) Walp. The critical work shown in this valuable
publication has been emphasized previously, so also has the ad-
mirable plates been mentioned. In this part some of the photo-
graphs, even when amplification is 500 diameters, are remarkably
and surprisingly excellent.

Guttenberg, Hermann Ritter von.

The anatomy of galls caused by fungi has not generally
been fully investigated in connection with the gall-producing
agent, or as the author says, "Stehen eingehendere Untersu-
chungen ueber die von Pilzen on hoeheren Pflanzen hevorge-
rufenen Missmildungen, ueber die Pilzgallen oder Mycocecidien,
derzeit noch aus." In this brochure of 70 pages and four double-
page lithographic plates entitled ''Beitraege zur Physiologischen
Anatomic der Pilzgallen," he has given an exhaustive account of
Albugo Candida on Capsella bursa-pastoris, Exoascus amentorum
on Alnus incana, Ustilago maydis on Zea Mays, Puccinia adoxae
on Adoxa moschatellina. and Exobasdium rhododendri on Rho-
dodendron ferrugineum and Rh. hirsutum.

Harshberger, John W.

It is not usual to regard Physarum cinereum as "A Grass-
Killing Slime iMould," but under this caption the author reports
in the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, held
at Philadelphia, Vol. XLV, No. 184, that the grass had been
destroyed in spots by this organism, "the blades of grass were
killed by the Plasmodium of this myxomycete spreading across
the lawn." "It left is saprophytic habit, assuming a grass-killing
one."

Kauffman, C. H.

A revision, with many additions, of the Key printed in the
June (1905) Torrey Bulletin is given in the January Number of
the Journal of Mycology, 1907, with 8 pages of plates, under
the title of "The Genus Cortinarius with key to the species." Mr.
Kauffman offers pertinent suggestions in regard to studying these
plants, stating inter alia that young unexpanded plants must be
examined as well as mature ones. Next, a careful description
must be made with special reference to the difference in the
color of the gills in the young and old plants, etc. Amateurs
and beginners have here just such suggestions as they need in
undertaking the study of the many species of the genus. The
admiral)le key deals with about seven dozen species.

"Gloeosporium rufomaculans (Berk.) v. Thiimen, from the cul-
tivated grape, Vitis sp. ; G. fructigenum Berk., from the apple;

an apparently unnamed Gloeosporium from the cranberry, Vac-
cinium macrocarpum ; G. elasticae Cooke & Massee, from the
leaves of the rubber plant, Ficus elastica ; a form from the locust,
Gleditschia triacanthus, which does not appear to have been re-
ported before ; one from Ginkgo biloba, also not heretofore re-
ported ; Colletotrichum gossypii Southw., from cotton ; and C.
Lindemuthianum (Sacc. & Magnus) Bri. & Cav., from the culti-
vated bean." The one from the apple only has its ascogenous
form reported heretofore. The authors used in the cultures ster-
ilized corn meal, 75° to 50° F. Referring to the fact that forms
occurring on dififerent hosts have been generally regarded as
different species, they say their study "leads to the conclusion
that they cannot be successfully segregated as species on mor-
phological grounds." They use the name Glomerella rufomacu-
lans (Berk.) Spauld. & v. Schrenk.

Hasselbring, Heinrich. |m ^

In the Botanical Gazette for April, 1907, this author dis-
cusses "Gravity as a Form-Stimulus in Fungi." He experi-
mented with Polystictus cinnabarinus, Schizophyllum cummune,
and some species of Corprinus. He says in conclusion, "it fol-
lows from the foregoing observations on three widely separated
forms of the Basidiomycetes, that although gravity has no effect
on the organization of the hymenophore, it has a marked influ-
ence on determining the configuration of the fruit-body of some
forms. This effect is most marked in the more primitive forms,
which are thereby shown to be the more plastic. In the more
highly differentiated forms [Coprinus] this effect of gravity dis-
appears."

the name of Bacillus indurans has been given. This report is
found in the proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South
Wales, 1905, Part 2, August 30th.

180 Notes from Mycological Literature [Vol. 13

Hedgcock, George Grant.

ICxpcrinients touching "Zonation in Artificial Cultures of
Cephalothecium and Other Fungi." are reported in the 17th
Annual Report of the Missouri Botanical Garden. The fungi
used were Cephalothecium, Penicillium, ]\Iucor and Hormoden-
dron ; they were grown on agar plates under five conditions of
light. It was found that the cultures grown under red and
orange light and in darkness exhibited uniform dense spore form-
ation over the whole surface of the mycelium. Those under blue
light and in ordinary light exhibited distinct daily rings of growth
of alternating denser spore formation.

Hedgcock, George Grant.

A very important paper giving the result of "Studies upon
some Chromogcnic Fungi which discolor Wood," is published in
the 17th Annual Report of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Dr.
Hedgcock made a thorough study of the fungus-flora of the
lumber pile. He reports exhaustively on about two dozen
species. The arrangement is after this fashion : ( i ) wood-
bluing fungi (Ceratostomella) ; (H) wood-blackening and wood-
browning fungi ( Graphium, Hormodendrum, Hormiscium, &c.) ;
(HI) wood-reddening fungi (Penicillium, Fusarium). Each
fungus was grown upon a number of kinds of wood, as well as
upon potato, rice. bean, sweet potato, and other similar media in
tubes, in addition to cultures on agar media made from wood and
other vegetable decoctions. In many instances new conidial stages
of fnugi were discovered ; the new species are fully described.

Lyman, George Richard.

The very important work by this author on "Culture Studies
on Polymorphism of Hymenomycetes" is reported, as one of the
contributions from the Cryptogramic Laboratory of Harvard
L^niversity, in the proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural
History, Vol. 33, No. 4, p. 125-209, pi. 18-26. Secondary spores
are common, produced in immense numbers and varied fashion,
in the Phy corny cetes and Ascomycetes. But among the
Autobasidiomycetes they are less commonly known, less varied,
the basidiospores being the main or only agent of reproduction.
The paper reviews the present knowledge and then includes an
account of cultures of 28 species, — over 100 having been studied.
Of the 28 species, five possess oidia, and chlamydospores were
produced in abundance for about half dozen species. The perfect
form of Aegerita Candida was detected, namely, Peniophora
Candida (Pers.) Lyman n. sp. The author concludes that
conidia and other highly specialized secondary methods of repro-
duction are rare, occurring more frequently in the Thelephoraceae,

lows an account of cultures from zygosporic material used by
the latter author; and this is the judgment: The evidence at
hand leads one to the conclusion that the large majority of the
Mucorineae are heterothallic.

Chester, Frederick D.

In the 15th Annual Report of the Delaware College Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, 1903, we find a valuable article
entitled : "Observations on an Important Group of Soil Bacteria ;

subtilus group is understood those members of the genus Bacillus,
as defined by Migula, which produce spores, liquefy gelatine
and grov; under aerobic conditions. A synopsis is given, also
descriptions of the ten species.

Hori, S.

It is noted that Ustilago esculenta P. Henn. causes the
jafifected plants Zizania latifolia, at Tokio, Japan, to retain their
green color for a long time in autumn, and thus they are at once
distinguished from the normal plants which turn yellow early in
autumxU. The smutted part, extremity of the shoot, remains
entirely concealed for a long time between the leaves and the leaf
.•sheaths.

EDTOR'S NOTES.

In the April No. of the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical
Club is published a new caste of the American Code of Botanical
Nomenclature, being the 1904 Philadelphia canons with a few
amendments. These changes are made in part to meet the re-
quirements of the 1905 Vienna Code ; but some of the rules and
recommendations of the Vienna Congress are not acceptable to
the members and alternates of the Nomenclature Commission of
the Botanical Club of the A. A. A. S.

In Mycolog}- as in other branches of Botany, uniform and
concerted action among taxonomists is greatly to be desired;
and all efforts leading to stability and uniformity are to be com-
niended. Our Commission is insistent on the principle of types
which the Vienna Congress failed to recognize. Another con-
tention of the Americans — consistent and commendable — is that
nothing should be arbitrary or exceptional in application. Ob-
jectionable therefore, is the action of the Vienna Congress in
excluding a large number of generic names from the operation
of all nomenclatorial rules, and in requiring diagnosis of new
species to be in the Latin language after January ist, 1908.

We have several comments to make on the new code, though
space requires that one or two only be given here. Canon i,
should, we think, be omitted. There is a general agreement
approximately if not essentially uniform as to the meaning of
species in Nature — and even the conception of genus is not so
divergent but that the work of specialists generally secures ap-
proval. We see no advantage in an attempted definition of
species — surely the rules and practices in nomenclature are not
dependent on the theoretical statement. Again, a genus may
exist even if there is but one species and not a group, and any
one of the entire series mentioned in Canons 3 and 4 may be
similarly restricted — then wherefore "group" the representative?
We think it adequate to substitute for the four Canons men-
tioned, the mere statement that the groups in ascending series
recognized in botany are species, genera, tribes, families, orders,
classes and divisions ; and names of a lower group or of inter-
mediate groups, when necessary, may be formed from the pre-
ceding by using the prefix siih.

PROTOCORONOSPORA, A NEW GENUS OF FUNGI.

(Preliminary Note.)

GEO. F. ATKINSON AND C. W. EDGERTON.

The senior author discovered a fungous disease of the cul-
tivated vetch during July which does not seem to have been
described before, and was first observed on the stems and pods
from a small patch of vetch on the Horticultural grounds of Cor-
nell University and later collected on vetch in the fields on the
University farm where it seems to be abundant and a serious
pest, often being associated with an Ascochyta. On the pods it
often occurs quite pure, and here it is easily seen with the un-
aided eye to be distinct from the disease caused by the Ascochyta.
It is, however, frequently mixed, even on the pods, with this
fungus, but the very characteristic spots alone serve to distin-
guish it.

The spots are elongated, either narrow or elliptical, some-
times with a dull purple border. On the pods they are oblique.
The spores ooze out in mass and have a pale pink or flesh color,
but when spread in a thin layer, form a whitish film.

The fungus is subepidermal. The epidermis is ruptured in
the form of a slit through which the spores escape. The myce-
lium becomes brown and then black, and the epidermis is later

^blackened ; in age the spots are black oblique lines as seen on

g>the pods, and many of them are sterile probably through failure

l^of the fungus to fruit.

186 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 13

The structure of the fungus causing this new disease of
vetch is very interesting. It resembles that of species of Corti-
cium. The basidia form a definite hymenium which is seated on
the pseudo-parenchymatous subhymenium, which is two or three
cell-layers in thickness. The nourishing mycehum extends out
into the surrounding tissue of the host. The spores are sessile ;
and are borne on a basidium in a whorl or crown at the end.
The spores are oblong to subelliptical, straight or curved, con-
tinuous, hyahne, granular, and measure 12-20x3-3.5 P- ^'^ the
spores fall away from the basidia others are produced as shown
by cultures. Conidia similar to the basidiospores are produced
on slender conidiophores which are intermingled with the basi-
dia. This character recalls that of the genus Exobasidium. The
spores also bud in yeast-like fashion from one or both ends,
rarely from the side, and the sporidia thus produced are similar
to the spores.

The fungus appears to be the type of a new genus for which
the name Protocoronospora is proposed, and a provisional diag-
nosis is given as follows :

Protocoronospora Atkinson and Edgerton new genus.
Stroma pseudoparenchymatous, two or three cell layers in thick-
ness, formed by the compact branching of the mycelium, the ulti-
mate exterior branches producing the basidia which form a hy-
menium. Spores sessile, hyaline, colorless, continuous, smooth,
several (usually four-eight) on a basidium. Spores budding and
forming sporidia similar in form. Conidia also similar in form
on slender short conidiophores intermingled with the basidia.

P. nigricans Atkinson and Edgerton n. sp. — Forming
narrow elongated spots on the pods, stems, leaves and bracts,
spots oblique on the pods and from 2-5 mm. to 1-2 mm. Spots
at first white or with purple border, later black. Stroma sub-
epidermal, of pseudoparenchymatous cells 6-9 jx in diameter, two
to three cell layers in thickness. Basidia clavate to subcylin-
drical, 20-30 x 6-8 /x, 4-8 spored. Spores sessile, and basidia con-
tinuing to form new spores, at least in artificial culture. Spores
pale pink in mass, oblong to sulx^lliptical, hyaline, continuous,
smooth, granular, straight or curved, 12-20x3-3.5 /^^ usually be-
coming once septate on germination. Mycelium from the stroma
penetrating the adjacent tissues. Parasitic on pods, stems, leaves
and bracts of Vicia sativa.

Sept. 1907] Poisoning by Amanita Phalloides 187

A CASE OF POISONING BY AMANITA PHALLOIDES.

OTTO E. JENNINGS.

The writer's attention was recently called by Judge J. D.
Shafer, of Pittsburg-, to a newspaper account of a fatal case of
mushroom poisoning at the little village of Deep Valley in the
extreme southwestern point of Pennsylvania, and, acting upon
Judge Shafer's urgent suggestion, the case was immediately
investigated.

It was found that the village physician. Dr. Philip Dinsmore,
together with three other members of the family and Mr. Frank
Roberts, the man-of-all-work, had eaten with the evening meal,
between six and seven o'clock, Sunday, August 4, a mess of
mushrooms gathered that afternoon by Mr. Roberts. There had
been about a quart of the mushrooms and they had been pre-
pared by frying in flour and butter. All ate of the mushrooms
excepting one little girl.

Between one and two o'clock the next morning all who had
eaten of the mushrooms were taken violently sick, vomiting ex-
cessively and having an extreme diarrhoea. These symptoms
continuing during Monday, Dr. H. C. Rice, of Freeport, Pa., was
summoned and a treatment begun consisting of the sub-cutaneous
injection of atropine and as far as possible the administration of
narcotics and oleaginous purgatives.

The vomiting and diarrhoea continued for about three days,
other symptoms being subnormal temperature, more or less de-
lirium, and in the case of Dr. Dinsmore, severe muscular cramps
of the limbs and extremities, and, evidently, of the muscular walls
of the abdomen also, the patient dying early Thursday morning.

At the time of the writer's visit (Saturday, August 10)
Mr. Roberts had so far recovered as to be about, but the other
three patients were still confined to their beds. The vomiting
and diarrhoea had ceased, but there was considerable enlargement
of the liver with distension of the gall-bladder and the patients
were becoming jaundiced.

Saturday morning Mr. Roberts escorted the writer to a lit-
tle patch of about two acres of woods, lying at the base of the
hillside along the creek, where the mushrooms had been gathered
for the fatal meal. Two species were abundant, Cantharellus*
and the white form of Amanita phalloides Fr., and the latter
species was indicated as the one composing the greater part of
the mess taken. Other species indicated as having been also

selected were Amanitopsis vaginata (Bull.) Roz., and Russiila
emetica Fr. — a very few. The only test applied in selecting the
fungi had apparently been the pleasing appearance and the ten-
derness of the mushroom. Roberts' indentification of Amanita
as composing the greater part of those eaten was independently
verified by one of the patients, Dr. Dinsmore's sister, who had
prepared the fungi for eating.

From the evidence obtained it is quite clear that the pois-
oning was due to the deadly Amanita, and it will be noticed that
the symptoms exhibited were in close agreement with those as-
cribed to phallin poisoning by chestnut,** although Dr. Rice
characterized the intestinal discharges as "serous" and not as-
suming the "rice-water" condition, and neither extreme saliva-
tion nor decided suppression of the urine was noticed.

In connection with the supposed action of phaUin in decom-
posing the blood corpuscles and in bringing about the escape of
the blood serum from the system by way of the alimentary canal
it may be mentioned as a partial confirmation that the undertaker
experienced considerable trouble in preparing the corpse for bur-
ial,— less than half the usual amount of blood could be extracted ;
thus indicating a depletion of blood supply before death occurred.

A NEW SPECIES OF PROTOMYCES.

J. J. DAVIS.

For the purpose of securing a name under which to distri-
bute specimens in Fungi Columhiani I submit the following:

Protomyces gravidus n. sp. — Causing hypertrophic swell-
ings on stems, branches, petioles and midribs. Spores, either
sub-epidermal or in the vascular bundles but not usually in both,
numerous, surface more or less irregularly uneven, generally
globose but some times elliptical, ovate or polygonal, 30-55 x 27-
40 IX, plurinucleate ; epispore thin (1-3 fi), brown; endospore in
maturity thick (3-5/"-), hyaline. On Bidens cernua L. and Bidens
connata Muhl., Dousman ; on the same hosts and sparingly on
Bidens frondosa L., Racine ; on Bidens cernna L.. Berryville. all
in Wisconsin. July to November.

What I have called the endospore should rather perhaps be
considered a peripheral layer of cytoplasm in a resting condition
the true endospore being a hyaline membrane i /i, or less thick.

Sept. 1907] A New Species of Protomyces 189

In the 35th Rep. of the New York State Botanist, p. 138, is
reported the occurrence of Protomyces marcrosporus Ung. on
leaves and stems of Ambrosia trifida L., at Albany, with a brief
description that corresponds with the fungus on Bidens. Prof.
Peck informs me that it was abundant at one station during one
season. Through the kindness of Dr. Farlow I have had an op-
portunity to examine sections of a gall on Ambrosia artemisiaefolia
L. which was sent him from Nantucket, Mass. in August 1905,
containing spores similar to those in the Bidens galls.

Sydow described in Annales Mycologici, i : 237, Entyloma
leucanthcmi which v/as distributed by Vestergren {Microm. No.
808.) under the name Protomycopsis leucanthemi (Syd.) Magn.
but I have been unable to learn of a publication of the characters
of the genus. Again through the kindness of Dr. Farlow I have
been able to examine sections containing this fungus. The spores
are similar to those in Bidens but they appear to occur in the leaf
blade without gall formation and no mention is made of such
swellings by Sydow. I therefore hesitate to distribute my ma-
terial under the name given by Magnus.

I have found the fungus here considered on no hosts other
than Bidens — not even on Coreopsis growing with affected Bi-
dens — and for my present purpose the question as to the rela-
tion between the Ambrosia and Bidens inhabiting forms may be
left open.

I have made many attempts to observe the germination of
the spores, at all seasons of the year, using material kept con-
tinuously out of doors but without result.

CULTURES OF UREDINEAE IN 1906.^

BY J. C. ARTHUR.

The present article forms the seventh of a series of reports^
by the author upon the culture of plant rusts, covering the years
from 1899 to the close of 1906. As in previous years the grass
and sedge rusts have constituted a large part of the list of species
under trial. This is partly due to the economic and scientific
interest connected with them, but even more, possibly, to the
greater ease with which wintered-over and viable spores may
be secured for cultural study. Among the species whose life-

cycle has now been worked out for the first time, the one hav-
ing the greatest economic import does not belong to the grass
or sedge forms, but inhabits flax. The discovery of the full
developmental history of this serious menace to successful flax
growing, brought about by the cooperation of Professor Henry
L. Bolley of North Dakota, widely known for his interest and
scientific studies in promoting the flax industry, has been a matter
of much satisfaction. It greatly clarifies the problem of con-
trolling the flax rust in the interest of the cultivator.

The work of testing the viability of spores, making the
sowings, and recorded data, required, as in previous years, the
undivided attention of a person to whom the whole work could
be intrusted. The expense of such an assistant was this year
met by a grant from the Botanical Society of America. It was
the second time the Society has given material aid to this series
of investigations.

Through the kindness of Professor R. A. Harper, I was
so fortunate as to enlist the interest of Dr. E. W. Olive, lecturer
at the University of Wisconsin, who consented to supervise
the season's work. The forethought and constant watchfulness,
the enthusiastic application, and especially the maturity of judg-
ment and breadth of knowledge brought to bear on the work by
Dr. Olive materially increased the completeness of the results.

As in former years correspondents have provided much
of the material used in the trials, partly upon their own initiative,
and partly in response to suggestion, for all of which I am under
heavv obligation. Teliosporic material was sent bv Messrs. A.

D. Selby, Wooster, Ohio : H. H. Whetzel, Ithaca, N. Y. ; Chas.

E. Fairman, Lyndonville, N. Y. ; W. A. Kellerman, Columbus,
Ohio; H. L. Shantz, Columbia, Mo.; J. J. Davis, Racine, Wis.;
John L. Sheldon, Morgantown, W. Va. ; H. L. Bolley, Agricul-
tural College, N. D. ; E. Bartholomew. Stockton, Kans. ; Geo.
E. Morris, Waltham, Mass.; Guy W. Wilson, Lafayette, Ind. ;
E. Bethel, Denver, Colo. ; and especially by Rev. J. M. Bates,
Red Cloud, Neb. Aeciosporic material was sent by Messrs. Her-
man von Schrenk, St. Louis, Mo. ; H. H. Whetzel, Ithaca, N. Y. ;
C. L. Shear, Tacoma Park, D. C. : D. Reddick, Ithaca, N. Y. ;
and P. H. Rolfs. Lake City, Fla., all the collections being either
Caeoma or Peridermium on species of Pinus. Host plants are
often required for the work, which do not grow in this vicinity,
and can not be purchased from dealers, and for a number of
such plants in good growing condition I am indebted to Messrs.
William Trelease of the Missouri Botanical Garden. St. Louis,
Mo. ; John L. Sheldon, Morgantown. W. Va. ; P. B. Kennedy,
Reno, Nev. ; and J. J. Davis, Racine, Wis.

During the present season 94 collections of material with
resting spores and 15 collections with active spores were em-
ployed, from which 293 drop cultures and 6 Petri dish cultures

Sept. 1907] Cultures of Uredineae in igo6 191

were made to test the germinating condition of the spores. Out
of the 94 collections with resting spores 46 could not be made
to germinate, although no reason could be assigned why they
should not. This gave 48 collections of available material be-
longing to 30 species of rusts, exclusive of the aecial pine rusts,
and from these 223 sowings were made. Beside these 53 sowings
were made with Caeoma and Peridermium spores from pine,
all without infection, 27 sowings with teliospores of Gymno-
sporangium, and 23 sowings with various aeciospores. Alto-
gether 326 sowings were made, and for this purpose 134 species
of hosts were required, which were grown temporarily in the
greenhouse, where practically all the work was done. The re-
sults of this work are given in the following paragraphs, and
are divided into negative results, positive results with species
whose life histories have already been previously determined, and
positive results with species whose life histories have not before
been fully known.

Of the trials giving negative results the following may be
recorded to serve for reference in further studies.

1. PucciNiA on Car ex P ennsylvanica Lam., collected near

Lafayette, Ind., was sown on Trillium reciirvatum, Napaea dioica,

twice on Thalictnim dioiciim. These sowings were made under
seemingly favorable conditions and yet no infection resulted.
In 1903 Dr. W. Tranzschel of St. Petersburg established the
connection between Puccinia Polygoni-amphihii Pers. on Poly-
gonum amphibiiim and the aecia on Geranium palustre and G.
pratcnse, and a year later the writer corroborated the discovery
with corresponding American species of hosts. In 1904 Dr.
Tranzschel showed that the rust on climbing species of Poly-
gonum, often included with the preceding, is distinct, either as a
true species or a biological species, for it produces its aecia on
Geranium pusillum. To see if this also could be substantiated
with American material the above sowings were made with seem-
ingly excellent teliosporic material, but the negative results leave
the matter an open question. The only other native Geranium
on which this form might be expected to grow readily is G. caro-
linianum, which was unfortunately not at hand for the test.

4. Puccixi.A on Mnhlcnhergia diffusa Schreb., sent by Rev.
J. M. Bates from Red Cloud, Neb., was sowm on Trillium rccur-
vatum, Actaca alba, AncmoncUa thalictroides, Isopyrum biter-
natnm, Caidophyllum thalictroides, Apios Apio'i, Viola pubescens,
Dirca palustris, Althaea rosea, Callirrhoe involucrata, Napaea
dioica, Hibiscus Moscheutos, Marcrocalyx Nyctelea, Polemonium
reptans, Ambrosia triUda, and Lactuca canadensis, with no infec-
tion. This taken with previous trials shows that the rusts on
different species of Muhlenbergia are in all probability biologi-
cally complex.

5. Puccinia Schedonnardi K. & S., sent by Rev. J. M.
Bates from Red Cloud, Neb., was sown on Callirrhoe involucrata,
Althaea rosea, and Ceanothus americanus, with no infection.
Like material from the same source was sown in 1902 on eight
other species of hosts with negative results."' The small sori
and fine leaves of the grass make the manipulation of material
of this species somewhat uncertain.

6. Puccinia emaculata Schw. on Paniaim capillare, ob-
tained in the vicinity of Lafayette, Ind., where it is very com-
mon, was sown on Polygala Senega and Napaea dioica. This
rust was sown in previous seasons on eighteen other species of
hosts."

Fairman from Ridgeway, N. Y., was sown on Polemonium rep-
tans, Houstonia purpurea. Ambrosia trifida, Rudbcckia laciniata,

with no infection. What was doubtless the same rust, and also
from western New York, was sown in 1905 on two other species
of hosts with negative results.'^

This rust has heretofore been considered to belong to Uromy-
ces J unci (Desm.) Tul., but recent study has shown that it is
morphologically quite distinct from that species, especially as it
has urediniospores that are echinulate and four-pored, instead of
verrucose and two-pored, as in the European species, which by
the way apparently does not occur in the United States east of
Nebraska and Kansas. It was described by Schweinitz (Trans.
Am. Phil. Soc. 4:2^^. 1832.) as a new species under the name
Puccinia Junci. As that specific name is not now available, I
suggest that the species be called Uromyces effusus, in allusion to
the copious distribution of the sori over the surface of the host,
and would characterize it as follows :

Uromyces effusus sp. nov.

O and I. Pycnia and aecia unknown.

II. Uredinia amphigenous. scattered, oblong or linear, 0.1-0.3 mm.
wide by 0..3-1.5 mm. long, tardily naked, dark cinnamon-brown, ruptured
epidermis very conspicuous ; urediniospores broadly ellipsoid or oval, 14-19
by 18-26 M, wall light yellow about 1.5m thick, rather sparingly and bluntly
echinulate, pores 4, equatorial.

III. Telia amphigenous, numerous, scattered, oblong or linear, 0.2-
0.5 mm. wide by 0.3-2 mm. or more long, rarely confluent, finally naked,
ruptured epidermiis very conspicuous; teliospores obovate or broadly oval,
13-19 by 24-33 m. obtuse or rarely acute at apex, usually narrowed below ;
wall chestnut-brown, 1.5-2/^ thick, much thicker above, 6-10 M, smooth;
pedicel tinted, about as long as the spore.

it would seem that what now passes under one name is either
a segregate, or a series of biological species., and that the Uro-
myces on Spartina in Indiana differs in some way from that in
Nebraska.

The following species of rusts were successfully grown, and
the data supplement that obtained from previous cultures of
this series, or that recorded by other American or European in-
vestigators.

1. Melampsora Bigelowii Thuem. — Teliosporic material
obtained near Lafayette, Ind., on Salix sp., was sown April 25
on Larix dccidna, pycnia appearing in abundance May 2, and
fully grown aecia about May 12.^

2. Cronartium Quercus (Brond.) Schroet. — Work with
this species was suggested by Dr. C. L. Shear, who also provided
freshly gathered aecia on Pinus virginiana Mill., sending these a
number of times in varying quantity. Dr. Shear made a num-
ber of cultures in the open in the spring of 1905, and presented
a paper embodying his observations and conclusions^" at the New
Orleans meeting of the American Mycological Society, but which
did not appear in print until June, 1906, after all data to be
presented here were secured.

Aeciospores from material provided by Dr. Shear was sown
May 12 in the greenhouse on three plants of Quercus alba and
two plants of Q. vchitina. On May 19 another sowing was made
on two other plants of Q. velntina. This work coming late in
the season did not receive daily examination, but on June I
all the plants of Q. vchitina showed uredinia, and one of them
also had developed telia. By June 25 the remaining four plants
had produced telia. The plants of Q. alba remained free from
infection.

The aecia used for these cultures were the typical form of
Peridcrmium Cerebrum Peck. There seems no reason to doubt
the identity of the American, European and Japanese fungus,
which has passed under a number of names, but a discussion of
the literature and facts will not be taken up in this place.

3. PucciNiA Opizii Bubak. — Aecia on various wild species
of Lactuca, and even on the garden L. sativa, are common in
the extended region of the upper Mississippi valley. They were
described by Burrill (Bull. 111. Lab. Nat. Hist. ^:232. 1885),
but the name Aecidium composiiarum Lactucae Burr, was first
published three years later (Saccardo, Syll. fung. 7: 799. 1888).
This form has often appeared in considerable abundance within

Sept. 1907] Cidtures of Uredmcae in igo6 195-

a hundred feet of my laboratory door, and much attention has
been bestowed upon it. The first clue to its connection was
found on the last day of April of this year, when in company
with Mr. F. D. Kern, the writer detected at Fair Oaks, Ind.,
a hundred miles north of this place, in two well separated spots,
some plants of Lactnca canadensis thickly covered with aecia,
and intermixed with the affected leaves some leaves of a small,
narrow leaved Carex, bearing teliospores of the previous year's
growth. No evidence of fruiting could be found on the Carex,
and roots brought back and grown in pots have shown no signs
of fruit, so that the Carex has not been specifically determined.
TeHosporic material was obtained from both localities, and May
2 one was sown on Lactnca canadensis and Onagra biennis, the
other on L. virosa and two plants of L. canadensis. Onagra
showed no infection, but all plants of Lactuca gave rise to pycnia
May 9, and aecia May 15, in great abundance. Another sowing
was made May 14 on L. sativa, which gave pycnia May 14, and
aecia May 28, with ample development.

This rust is taken to be the same as the one which Dr.
Fr. Bubak studied in Bohemia by means of cultures, and which
he has very fully described. ^^ No Bohemian collections, however,
are at hand with which to make comparison, but two European
collections of aecia (Sydow, Uredineen 334 and iioo) show
essential morphological agreement with American aecia on Lac-
tuca. Dr. Bubak (1. c.) has stated that to him the American
and European collections appear distinct, but without saying
wherein the difference may lie. To me the differences appear
to be habitual. On thin leaved hosts both pycnia and aecia are
in more open and indefinite groups. On hosts from the western
prairies, which have firm and strongly developed leaves the
groups of aecia are usually compact and circumscribed, and sur-
round the often amphigenous pycnia. The European aecia be-
longing to the species are known under the name Accidium lac-
tuciniim Lagherh. & Lindr.

4. PucciNiA Sambuci (Schw.) Arth. — Teliosporic mate-
rial on Carex Frankii Kunth, brought from Frankfort, Ind., by
Mr. F. D. Kern, was sown May 10 on Sambncus canadensis,
giving numerous pycnia May 16, and abundance of aecia May
26. This adds another host to this common species, those already
known being Carex trichocarpa, C. lurida, and C. Inpulina}-

5. PucciNiA Peckii (DeT.) Kellerm. — Teliosporic mate-
rial on Carex trichocarpa Muhl., brought from Fair Oaks, Ind.,
was sown on Onagra biennis May 4, and gave rise to pycnia
May 14, and to aecia May 17, both in abundance. Another

6. PucciNiA ALBiPERiDiA Aith. — This rust on three species
of hosts was obtained in different locaHties near Lafayette. Ind.,
and sown with the following results :

From Carex squarrosa L., sown in greenhouse April 16 on Ribes rotundi-

folium; April 21, pycnia; April 30, aecia.
From C. squarrosa L., sown in garden April 21 on R. gracile; April 25,

pycnia ; May 13, aecia.
From C. squarrosa L., sown in greenhouse April 16 on R. rubrum ; no

infection.
From C. tetanica Schk., sown in greenhouse April 20 on R. Cynosbati;

April 27, pycnia; May 9. aecia.
From C. critiita Lam., sown on R. Cynosbati in greenhouse April 26, then

plant transferred to garden ; May 4, pycnia ; May 17, aecia.

These results add one more telial host to those previously
used for cultures.^* They also have given an opportunity for
a study of the differences between the pale aecia obtained by
cultures and the highly colored aecia usually observed in the field.
The aecia grown wholly in the greenhouse were pale, as in pre-
vious years ; those on the plant which had the pot plunged into
the garden soil after the fungus became established, were much
more colored ; and those raised from sowings made in the gar-
den were highly colored and presented essentially the same
appearance as others that came upon some nearby bushes of
Ribes from natural infection. The result of observations during
the last six years, coupled with the cultures of this year, make
the conclusion almost inevitable that shade, moist air, and slow
growth, tend to make the aecia smaller, wdth less coloring mat-
ter in the peridial cells and surrounding mycelium, and also
tend to produce less hypertrophy of the tissues of the host,
and that this accounts for the differences observed between aecia
grown in cultures and those very common on Ribes Cynosbati,
R. rotnndifoliuin, R. gracile, and similar species of gooseberries
throughout tlie eastern United States. All collections of this
sort, therefore, may be called Pnccinia albipcridia, but whether
this is a distinct species from the very similar rust of Europe,
Puccinia Grossulariae (Schum.) Lagerh., or one of the several
biological .species e.stablished by Klebahn, still remains an open
question.

11. PucciNiA suBNiTENs Diet. — Teliosporic material on
Distichlis spicata (L.) Greene, sent by Rev. J. M. Bates from
Red Cloud, Neb., was sown April 5 on Chenopodium album.
Bursa Bursa-pastoris, and Sarcobatus vermictilatus, giving a weak
infection only on the Chenopodium. As the Sarcobatus plant
soon died, another sowing was made May 5 on two other plants
of Sarcobatus, but with no infection. It was sown again May
10, and May 19, on Sarcobatus, still with no infection. Still a
fifth sowing was made May 29 on two plants of Sarcobatus,
and one of Chenopodium album, with a weak infection of the
latter, and with apparently a few pycnia showing on one leaf
of Sarcobatus. The plants of Sarcobatus were sent by Dr. P. B.
Kennedy from Reno, Nev., and had not become established when
the sowings were made. They were obtained where Distichlis
spicata grew intermixed, well covered with Puccinia subnitens,
and the Sarcobatus was well besprinkled with aecia, not dis-
tinguishable from those now known to belong to this grass rust.^*
The particular object in view was to determine experimentally if
Puccinia subnitens will grow on Sarcobatus. The single seem-
ing infection is doubtful, as it may have come from spores trans-
ported with the plants. The question remains an open one.

year's cultures the opinion was expressed that this rust may be
composed of biological races, but the present work shows that
adaptation to the hosts is not so close but that under specially
favorable conditions the rust may be transferred from one host
to another.

i6. PucciNix\ Pruni-spinosae Pers. — Aecia on Hepatica
acutiloba DC, from near Lafayette, Ind., were sown April 28
on Prunus scrotina and Amygdalus Per ska, giving rise May 21
to uredinia on the former host, but with no infection on the lat-
ter host. Like material was sown May 2 on Prunus serotina and
P. puniila, giving rise to the uredinia in both instances May 21.
These results abundantly confirm, and somewhat extend, the
work of last year.-*

17. Uromyces Scirpi (Cast.) Burr. — Teliosporic material
on Scirpus Huviatilis (Torr.) A. Gray, sent by Rev. J. M. Bates
from Walbach, Neb., was sown May 22 on Cicuta maculata, giv-
ing abundance of pycnia May 31, and of aecia June 8. A sow-
ing made June i on Pastinaca sativa, the plants being especially
thriftv, gave no infection. On June 5 another sowing was made
on Oxypolis rigidus and Cicuta maculata, with no infection on
the former, but with fine showing of pycnia on the latter June 12,
and of aecia June 22.

There is apparently no morphological difference between the
American rust and the corresponding European one, and the
hosts are also much alike. Sixteen years ago Dr. P. Dietel
showed by cultures-^ that in central Germany aecia are produced
on Siuni' I ati folium, which in habit and structure is much like
Cicuta maculata. He also found that, most curiously, aecia
could be grown from the same material on Hippurus vulgaris,
which belongs to another family of plants, showing that, in all
probability, the species is not closely circumscribed.

Cultures made by Dr. Fr. Bubak in 1901 from Bohemian
material brought to light a biological form which only infected
Berula angustifolia.^^

In 1902 Dr. H. Klebahn attempted to repeat Dietel's cul-
tures, and found that teliosporic material from the same immedi-
ate region, the exact locality having been changed and the rust
destroyed, gave abundant aecia on Pastinaca sativa, but only
slightly infected Hippurus vulgaris, and infected Slum latifolium
and Glaux martima not at all.-'^ The year following he carried
out more extensive cultures. Teliosporic material raised from
aeciospores on Pastinaca sativa, infected both Pastinaca and
Berula angustifoUa. Teliosporic material from central Germany

infected both these hosts. Similar material from northern Ger-
many infected only Berula. In 1904 aecia were raised in a
similar way on Oenanthe aquatica.'^

One of the earliest cultures with this pleophagic species was
made by Mr. C. B. Plowright with English material, raising aecia
on Glaux maritima, which belongs to the Primulas eaer^

A careful microscopic study of all these forms shows close
agreement in morphological characters, and altogether there
appears to be no reason to treat these cultural forms other than
biological races of a single species. Scirpus Huviatilis is the
American representative of the European S. maritimus, and by
many authors is given the latter name. The writer has examined
American collections that appear to belong to this species, as
follows: on S. fltiviatilis from Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska,
South Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin; on Cicuta maculata from
Illinois, Iowa, and Colorado; on Oenanthe calif ornica from
central California, Sium cictitae folium from Wisconsin, and on
Glaux maritima from Montana and Wyoming.

18. Gymnosporangium Juniperi-virginianae Schw. —
Galls from a tree of Juniperus virginiana near the laboratory,
brought in by Mr. F. D. Kern, were used for sowing May i on
Malus coronaria, Sorbus americana, and Crataegus Pringlei.
Only the first gave infection, which showed abundant pycnia on
May 14, but failed to develop aecia on account of injuries.-'

19. Gymnosporangium GLOiiOSUM Pari. — Galls from a
tree of Juniperus virginiana, found in the vicinity of Lafayette,
Ind., were brought in by Mr. Guy W. Wilson, and used for mak-
ing three sowings on Crataegus Pringlei, and one each on Malus
coronaria and Amelanchier sp. All sowings on Crataegus gave
abundance of pycnia, and one plant finally produced well formed
aecia, the other plants not growing well. No infection was ob-
tained on the other two hosts.

Similar material was also received from Dr. John A. Shel-
don, of Morgantown. W. Va.. and sown May 19 on Crataegus
Pringlei. Mains coronaria, and Sorbus americana, all giving rise
to an abundance of pycnia. As none of the plants grew well,
only the sowing on Sorbus formed aecia, these finally reaching
maturitv and showing the characteristic structure of the species.

These results are parallel with, and confirm the work by Dr.
Roland Thaxter. done some years ago.-"

Sept. 1907] Cultures of Uredineae in 1906 201

The following three species have never before been tested
by means of cultures, so far as the writer knows. Although few
in number, they make an important addition to our knowledge of
life histories :

I. Melampsora Lixi (Link) Desmaz. — For a number of
years attempts have been made to obtain cultures of this cosmo-
politan rust, and learn its full cycle of development. Many col-
lections from different parts of the country, gathered at different
times from November to April, have been tested, but with uni-
form failure to secure germination of the teliospores. The most
numerous and promising collections were sent by Professor H.
L. Bolley, of North Dakota, but equally in vain until one made
the last day of April on cultivated flax, dug from under a snow
bank, was received. This showed strong germination of the
teliospores, and on May 4 was sown on Linum Leimsii, Larix
laricina, and the day following on Tsuga canadensis, and Ari-
saema triphyUum. No clues were available, but judging from
the willow, poplar, and some other species of the same genus, it
was assumed that it might be heteroecious. Nevertheless, on
May 16 pycnia began to appear on the flax, and on May 21 aecia.
The next sowing was made May 18 on Linum usitatissimum,
plants of which had not before been available, giving rise to
pycnia May 26. and aecia May 30. Another equally successful
sowing on the same host was made May 29, but exact record
for the appearance of the sori was not kept.

The pycnia are small, pale, and inconspicuous, although
numerous. They are globoid, subepidermal, and without ostiolar
filaments. The aecia are of the caeoma form, that is, are with-
out peridia. They are also rather pale, and not as prominent
as the uredinia, for which, however, they might easily be mis-
taken. So far as I can learn they have never been collected,
although probably common throughout the world. This may
be due to their being inconspicuous, and quite as much to the
earliness of their appearance.

The economic bearing of the discovery is to some extent
obvious. Knowing the autoecious nature of the rust makes the
destruction of old flax straw in flax growing regions a matter
of moment, in order to lessen and retard the appearance of the
rust in growing fields of flax. Upon reporting the first success
to Professor Bolley he replied under date of May 23, 1906: "I
am very much pleased to receive your letter, for with the in-
formation I am able to determine the source of a rust epidemic
that we had in our flax breeding plots last year. I now find
everywhere in the flax stubble plenty of volunteer flax with
almost every plant more or less infected with spermogonia and
aecidia." It will now be possible to intelligently devise methods
for the practical control of flax rust.

2. Uromyces on Juncus tenuis. — This rust, which has
generally passed under the name of Uromyces Junci, is very com-
mon in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains from
Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. It is often highly parasitized,
so that the sori contain few or no well grown teliospores. A
number of attempts to bring the rust under culture have failed
because the teliospores could not be made to germinate. In
1902 a sowing was made on Iris virsicolor without success.

Unparasitized material on Juncus tenuis Willd. was found
near Lafayette, Ind., April 3, that proved to be viable, and was
sown April 20 on Lactuca canadensis, L. virosa, Senecio obo-
vatus, Rudbeckia laciniata, Ambrosia triUda, A. artemisiaefolia,
and Silphium perfoliatum. Much to our delight pycnia were
observed on the last host April 30, and were followed by a great
abundance of aecia May 7. Another sowing was made May 4
on vS". perfoliatum and S. terebinthinaceuni, and the next day on
Partheniuni intcgrifolium. Only the first was infected, showing
pycnia May 17, and May 31. The plant of S. terebinthinaceum
was weak and did not grow well. Later sowings May 9 on
Polymnia canadensis, and June 5 on Pathenium intcgrifolium
and Silpkimn terebinthinaceuni, gave no infection.

Another collection of teliospores on Juncus tenuis was sent
by Dr. John L. Sheldon from Morgantown, W. Va., which was
found close to Houstonia caerulea bearing aecia. This material
was sown May 19 on Houstonia caerulea, H. purpurea and 6"//-
phium perfoliatum. No infection occurred on the Houstonias,
but pycnia appeared on the Silphium May 29, and aecia June
4, both abundant and well formed.

Since obtaining the unequivocal cultural results, a morpho-
logical study has been made of the rust, which clearly demon-
strates that it is specifically distinct from Uromyces Junci
(Desm.) Tul. As it appears never to have been recognized as
an autonomous species, the following name and description are
submitted :

Uromyces Silphii (Syd.) nom. nov. (Accidium conupositarium Sil-
phii Burr. Saccardo, Syll. Fung. 7:798. 1888; Accidium Silphii Sydow,
Uredineen 1546.)

0. Pycnia chiefly epiphyllous, in small groups, golden brown, sub-
globose or ellipsoid, subepidermal, 80-100 M broad by 80-110 /* high; osti-
olar filaments up to 65 m long.

1. Aecia amphigenous, in groups 4-10 mm. across, crowded about
the pycnia on discolored spots, deep-seated, short, 0.2-0.4 mm. in diameter;
peridium colorless, margin recurved, lacerate, peridial cells rhombic, 20-28 M
across, outer wall thick, 6-8 M, transversely striate, inner wall thinner,
4-6 M, moderately verrucose ; aeciospores angularly globoid, small, 13-18 M
in diameter, wall colorless, thin, about 1 m, minutely verrucose.

II. Uredinia amphigenous, scattered, roundish or somewhat elon-
gated, small, 0.2-0.3 mm. wide, by 0.3-0.5 mm. long, tardily naked, dark
cinnamon-brown, ruptured epidermis not conspicuous ; urediniospores
broadly ellipsoid or sometimes obovate, 13-19 by 15-23 m, wall golden yel-
low, about 1.5 M thick, sparsely and bluntly echinulate, pores 5 or 6, scat-
tered.

III. Telia amphigenous, scattered, roundish or somewhat elongated,
small, 0.2-0.3 mm. wide by 0.2-0.6 mm. long, tardily naked, firm, somewhat
pulvinate, blackish brown, ruptured epidermis noticeable; teliospores an-
gularly obovate, rounded, truncate or occasionally pointed above, usually
narrowed below, 12-19 by 26-35 At, wall chestnut-brown, 1.5-2 m thick, much
thicker above, 7-10 m, smooth; pedicel light chestnut-brown, one to one
and a half times length of spore.

On /uncus tenuis Willd., Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Min-
nesota, South Dakota, Missouri, New York, Maine, Massachusetts, West
Virginia, Louisiana, Texas; /. dichotainus Ell., Florida.

It has been issued in the following exsiccati : aecial stage — Ellis &

Earle, Econ. Fungi 52, 528; Griffiths, W. Am. Fungi 244 (host /. tenuis
not /. longistylis) ; Ellis & Ev. Fungi. Columb. 2394.

The following key will serve to separate the three common
species of Uromyces on Juncus, when the urediniospores are
present. In the absence of uredinia the urediniospores can usu-
ally be found to some extent in telial sori, even those that have
withstood the winter, and are collected in the spring following
their maturity, and especially so if they are parasitized.

Urediniospores verrucose, pores 2, equatorial U. Junci (Desm.) Tul.

Urediniospores echinulate, pores 4, equatorial U. effusus Arth.

Urediniospores echinulate, pores 5-6, scattered ....[/. Silphii ( Syd. ) Arth.

3. Gymnosporangium Nelsoni Arth. — At the time this
species was published it was stated that Prof. Aven Nelson, the
collector of the type material, considered it highly probable that
the aecia found on Amelanchier in the vicinity belonged to the
species. Teliosporic material on Juniperus scopulorum Sarg.,
sent by Mr. E. Bethel from Colorado this spring, gave the first
opportunity to test the suggestion. Sowings were made May
29 on the leaves of Amelanchier canadensis, Sorbus americana,
Crataegus Pringlei, Pyrus japonica, and Aronia nigra. On June
12 a few pycnia were observed on the Amelanchier and Sorbus,
but owing doubtless to indifferent growth of the hosts no aecia
were formed. The other hosts remained without infection. This
helps in a small way to confirm Professor Nelson's suggestion,
but is not conclusive.

SUMMARY.

The following is a complete list of successful cultures made
during the season of 1906. It is divided into two series : species
previously reported by the writer or other investigators, and
species now reported for the first time.

AN HISTORICAL REVIEW OF THE PROPOSED GENERA
OF PHYCOMYCETES.

I. PERONOSPORALES.
GUY WEST WILSON.

In the present consideration of the generic types of the Phy-
comycetes the genera will be arranged chronologically under each
order, with the type species, the synonyms, the homonyms, and
such other information under each genus as may seem desirable.
This is followed by an alphabetical list of the genera with their
type species, in which the tenable names are printed in black type
while those which are untenable are in common type.

The subject of the generic types of the Phycomycetes was
first taken up at the suggestion of Dr. J. C. Arthur, while a
student in his laboratory, and the results embodied in a thesis
which was presented to the Faculty of Purdue University, to
the authorities of which institution I am indebted for permis-
sion to publish the material contained in the thesis. I wish to
also express my hearty appreciation of the courtesies shown me
by Dr. Arthur and by Dr. J. H. Barnhart in the way of critical
and bibliographical assistance and the loan of otherwise inacces-
sable books and by those in charge of the various libraries con-
sulted both in Lafayette and New York.

206 Journal oj Mycology [Vol. 13

1. ALBUGO Roussel. Fl. Calvados, ed. 2. 47. 1806.

The name Albugo was first used for a subgenus by Persoon*
who included under it the white spored species of Uredo, of which
he recognized two, U. Candida and U. Cheiranthi, the first of
which is the type species. Roussel elevated the subgenus to
generic rank with Persoon's first species as the monotype of
the genus. In this species he followed Persoon in including the
white rust of the Crnciferac and of Tragopogon, and by way of
good measure added some fungus on Urtica which in all prob-
ability belongs to the Uredinales. The genus is usually credited
to S. F. Grayj who used the name in the same sense fifteen
years later.

Synonym : Cystopiis Lev., not Blume.

2. PERONOSPORA Corda, Icon. Fung, i: 20. 1837.
This genus was published for a single species, P. rumicis,

which is figured on pi. 5. f. 2j^.

3. BREMJA Regel. Bot. Zeit. 1:666. 1843.

The only species which has so far been referred to the
genus is B. Lactncac Regel, a fairly good figure of which (pi. ?5)
accompanies the description.

Synonym: AcUnohotrysY{.o^vci.

4. CYSTOPUS Leville. Ann. Sc. Nat. III. 8: 371. 1847.
The genus is characterized and five species of livedo, of

which the first is U . Candida, are cited as members of the genus.
Except the last species named these are all congeneric. While
it is customary to credit to Leville the names of all these species
under the genus Cystopiis, he refrained, not only in this but in
subsequent papers, from forming the combinations with which
he is so generously credited by his contemporaries. The name
is untenable as the genus is a typonym of Albugo. It has also
been applied to an Orchidaceous^ genus.

5. ACTINOBOTRYS Hoflfman. Bot. Zeit. 14: 154.
T856.

But one species, A. Tulasnei, was described, the figure of a
portion of the conidiophore of which (pi. 5. /. 22) is unmistak-
ably that of Bremia Lactiicae Regel, 1843.

6. BASIDIOPHORA Roze & Cornu, Ann. Sci. Nat. V.
II : 84. 1869.

This genus is founded on a single species, B. entospora, which
is described at great length and carefully figured {pi. 4).
Synonym : Gilletia Sacc. & Penz.

7. PHYTOPHTHORA de Bary, Jour. Roy. Agr. Soc.
II. 12 : 240. 1876.

The present genus was founded for a single species, Perono-
spora infestans, which is renamed Phytophthora infestans de
Bary. The species and its life history are discussed in detail
and illustrations are given (/. j, 4). A duly accredited reprint
of this article§ is usually cited instead of the original place of
publication.

8. SCLEROSPORA Schroter. de Bary, Bot. Zeit 39:
621. 1881.

The present name was used by Schroter* as a subgenus of
Peronospora, under which there was placed a single species pre-
viously described by Saccardo as Protomyces graminicola. The
first use of the name in a generic sense is in a paper by de Bary
in which he enumerates the valid genera of Peronosporaceae
among which is Sclerospora Schroter. The first binominal com-
bined with the generic name is in Cohn's Kryptogamen Flora
von Sclilesien|] where the type of the subgenus of 1879 becomes
S. graminicola (Sacc.) Schrot. Up to this time no other species
had been associated with the name Sclerospora whether regarded
as a genus or as a subgenus.

9. GILLETIA Saccardo & Penzig; Sacc. Michelia 2:
587. 1882.

The only species which is referred to this genus is G. spinu-
ligera Sacc. & Therry, of which the authors say "Oogonia ignota,
sed totus fungi habitus peronosperoideus." The fungus is co-
specific with Basidiophora entospora Roze & Cornu. The type
specimens of both these species were collected in France on
Leptilion canadensis (L.) Britton. The same generic name has
since been used in Commelinaceae.^

10. PLASMOPARA Schroter, in Cohn, Krypf. Fl.
Schles. 3: 236. 1886.

Eight species were referred to this genus by its author
who founded it as "Gatt. Plasmopara. (Peronospora Sect. I.
Zoosporiparae und Sect. II. Plasmatoparae de Bary)." The
generic name is merely a modification of de Bary's second sec-
tional name, which implies that the conidia germinate by a plasma.
This is true only of de Barv's second section, the species of the
first germinating by zoospores. Two species, Peronospora pyg-
maea Unger and P. densa Rabenh., are included by de Bary in
his section Plasmatoparae of which P. pygmaea is the type. As

this species is the first one from this section which is cited by
Schroter it is the type of the genus. Of his other species two
were known to de Bary, while the others, including the type of
Basidiophora, are of later date.

11. CHLOROSPORA Spegazzini, Rev. Argent. Hist.
Nat. 1 : 29. 1891.

The single species of this genus, C. vastatrix, is described
as having monopodially branched conidiophores and colored
conidia which germinate by a plasma. The genus is, therefore,
very close to Plasmopara.

12. DREPANOCONIS Schrot. & P. Henn. ; Henning's,
Hedwigia 35: 211. 1896.

This genus, which is placed by its authors in Albnginaccac,
contains a single species D. hrasiliensis, the true position of
which is probably among the Hyphomycetes.

13. PSEUDOPERONOSPORA Rostewzew, Ann. Inst.
Agron. Moscow 9 147. 1903 ; Flora 92 :4_22. 1903.

The present genus was founded upon Peronospora cubcnsis
B. & C. and a Russian variety of that species. The characters
of thes fungi and their relatives are discussed in detail and the
article, which is in Russian, is profusely illustrated. There is
no room to question the identity of the genus and its type. A
translation of the article appeared in Flora about eight or ten
months later.

Synonym: Peronoplasmopora (Berlese) Clinton.

14. KAWAKAMIA Miyabe, Mag. Bot. Tokyo i7:(3o6).
1903.

This genus is founded on a single species, Peronospora cy-
peri Miyabe & Tdeta. Although published in the Japanese sec-
tion of the Magazine the descriptions of both genus and species
are in English.

15. PERONOPLASMOPARA Clinton, Ann. Rep.
Conn. State Agr. Exp. St. 29 1234. 1905.

Berlese* proposed this name for a subgenus of Plasmopara
in which he included two species, Plasmopara Celtidis (Waite)
Berlese and P. cubcnsis (R. & C.) Humphrey. He described
both species and figured the latter, which is therefore the sub-
generic type. When Clinton elevated the subgenus to generic
rank he designated "Types: PcronopJasmopara cubcnsis (B.
& C.) Clinton, Pcronoplasmopara celtidis (Waite) Clinton." As
it is manifestly impossible for a genus to have more than one
type, and as his discussion is based almost entirely upon the
first species which he mentions we must consider both subgenus
and genus as founded upon Peronospora cubcnsis B. & C.

The genus is founded upon an imperfectly known species,
P. syr'mgae, which may belong either to the Peronosporales or
to the Anclystidales.

17. MYCELOPHAGUS Mangin, Compt, Rend. Acad.
Sci. Paris 136:472. 1906.

The genus is founded on a poorly described and imperfectly
known species, M. castaneae, which probably belongs to An-
dystidaceae.

NOTES FROM MYCOLOGICAL LITERATURE. XXV.

W. A. KELLERMAN.

Moore, C. L.

In Bulletin Vol. i. No. i, Pictou Academy, N. S.. there is
given a general account of the Myxomycetes and a list of 33
"Myxomycetes of Pictou County."

Magnus, P.

An interesting article appeared in the Berichte der Deutschen
Botanischen Gesellschafft, Jahrgang 1904, Band XXII, Heft 7,
entitled "Puccinia Ruebsaumeni P. Magn. n. sp., eine einen ein-
jaehrigen Hexenbesen bildende Art." The species has heretofore
been confused with or included in Puccinia caulinicola Schneid.
(P. Schneideri Schroet.) from which it differs in its larger
spores ; it is restricted to Origanon vulgare. A plate of figures
shows the hexenbesen, mycelium with haustoria in situ and the
teleutospores.

Fawcett, H. S.

In Report in Botany and Horticulture (Florida Agricultural
Station, An. Rep. 1906) Air. Fawcett gives an account of the
important diseases for the year — Colletotrichum lindemuthianum
(Sacc. & Magn.) Bri. & Cav. ; Alternaria brassicae var.
nigrescens Pegl. ; Cercospora apii Hals ; Cladosporium citri
Penz. ; Colletotrichum glocosporioides Penz. ; Pseudoperonspora
cubensis (B. & C.) Rost. ; Gloeosporium mangiferae, &c.

Saccardo, P. A.

In "Notae Mycologicae," Series IX, Annales Mycologici for
April, 1907, the author describes 7 new species, one of which
is North American, namely, Tuljerculina davisiana Sacc. et Trav.
sp, n. ; hab. in foliis adhuc vivis Salicis cordatae.

Griffiths, David.

Dr. Griffiths reports "Concerning some West American
Fungi" in the Bulletin of the Torry Botanical Club, April, 1907.
They are species of his personal collecting for the past four or
five years, new or worthy of record. The new species are:
Sclerospora farlowii ; Ustilago microchloae, Sorosporium
ovarium. Urocystis sophiae, Aecidium cannonii, Puccinia eurotiae.

Campbell, Douglas Houghton.

Chapter VI in A University text-book of Botany, 2nd Edi-
tion, 1907, is devoted to the Fungi. The general character of the
Subkingdom Fungi is given briefly ; similarly the Structure and
Affinities are discussed. The bulk of the chapter is concerned

with the classification — the author recognizing the usual three
classes — the Phycomycetes including the subclasses Omycetes
and Zygomycetes ; the two classes constituting the Eu-mycetes ;
Ascomycetes composed of Hemiascineae, and Euasceae ; and
Basidiomycetes composed of the three sub-classes ; Hemibasideae,
Protobasidiomycetes, and Autobasidiomycetes. Five pages are
devoted to the Lichens and one page to Bibliography. Numerous
text figures are used.

Rolfs, F. M.

Experiments in reciprocal inoculation wath pure cultures
shows that Cytospora rubescens Xitschke is the pycnidial stage
of Valsa leucostoma — a fungus well known in Europe, Aus-
tralia and the United States. "Professor F. C. Stewart of the
New York Agricultural Experiment Station, was the first Amer-
ican to call attention to the parasitic nature of the fungus.'* At
the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station it is an active par-
asite attacking the twigs, limbs and trunk of the peach, plum,
apricot and cherrytrees. This is reported under the head of
"Dieback of the Peach Trees" in Science of July 19, 1907.

Lauterbom, Robert.

In Heft 5, Band XXV, 2.(> June 1907, an account is given
of "Eine neue Gattung der Schwefelbacterien (Thioploca schrnid-
lei nov. gen. nov. spec.)" — belonging to the family Beggiotoa-
ceae, occurring in Untersees des Bodensees in der Gegend von
Ermatingen, in 15-20 m. Tiefe das Innere des kalkreichen
Grundschlicks durchziehend.

Burlingham, Gertrude Simmons.

In the February Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club
(1907) Miss Burlingham gives an account of "Some Lactarii
from Windham County, Vermont,'' based on collections made
mostly near Newfane, elevation about 500 meters, from the mid-
dle of July to the middle of September. She describes the fol-
lowing : Lactarius aspideoides Burlingham n. sp. ; L. bensleyae
Burlingham n. sp. ; L. isabellinus Burlingham n. sp. ; L. minus-
culus Burlingham n. sp. ; L. nitidis Burlingham n. sp. ; and raises
Pecki var. oculatus (of L. subdulcis) to specific rank; besides
listing three dozen or more other species. The article concludes
with an excellent key to the species of Vermont.

Peck, Charles Horton.

Dr. Peck describes 20 new species in the Bulletin of the
Torrey Botanical Club for February 1907. Over half of them
are Agarics, the others of various groups. Of the specially inter-
esting forms may be noted Hydnum sulcatipes with stem like
some species of Helvella, and Peckiella hymenioides on Lactarius
uvidus, externally similar to P. hymenii. Lentinus ventricosus
Peck. Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 23:414, 1896, is transferred to the
genus Armillaria.

Wilson, Guy West.

A monograph of the genus Albugo is published in the Feb-
ruary No. of the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club, under
the title "Studies in North American Peronosporales — The
genus Albugo." A brief general account of Albugo [Albugo

given, followed by a key to the species. S)^nonymv in full, with
citations, is printed ; also a complete list of the hosts arranged
alphabetically under families. One new species is described —
A. occidentalis ; and species excludendae are Cystopus euphorbiae
Cke. & Mass. and C. salsolae and C. schlechteri P. Sydow.
Oospores of nine of the thirteen species are illustrated by figures.

Shear, Cornelius Lett.

For some time Mr. Shear has been studying the diseases of
the Cranberry during which time he has encountered many new
fungi and his interesting paper recently published in the Bulle-
tin of the Torrey Botanical Club (June), entitled "New Species
of Fungi", deals mainly with the vacciniicolous species. He

describes 20 to 30 new species and proposes three new genera,
two of the latter belonging to Sphaeropsidales (Plagiorhabdus,
and Bothrodiscus), and one to the Ascomycetae (Acanthorhyn-
chus). The generic names are significant: the first from plagios^
oblique, and rhabdos, rod in allusion to the oblique appendage of
the spores ; the second from hothros, pit, and discos, disk ; and the
third form acanthos, thorn, and rhynchos, beak, suggested by
the spiny beak.

EDITOR'S NOTES.

We have referred to the American Code of Botanical Nomen-
clature as recently published in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botani-
cal Club, April, 1907, and made a suggestion in connection with
the subject dealt with in Section I. As to Section II (formation
of names), we have nothing to say except approbation, unless it
be to note that Canon 8 does not require that the names for Sub-
classes and higher groups have the feminine form. All other
group names, if we except the (jcnus, are required by preceding
Canons to have the termination -ac. Moreover, such usage has
found almost universal acceptance ; we beUeve the 8th Canon
could properly require this.

Professor Saccardo has taken the lead in many phases of
classificatory and nomenclatural reform in Mycology. We desire
to call attention to his "Disposizione e Nomenclatura" of mycolo-
gical groups recently published in the Bullctino dclla Societa Bo-
tanica Italiana, which we will reproduce in full in the next Num-
ber of the Journal. In this he is consistent as regards the mat-
ter of terminations referred to above ; and he has made his groups
conform to advanced nomenclatorial views. For example, the
termination -accae is used for family names, and -ales for the or-
ders ; all other terminations are in -ae. A brief excerpt in advance
of the full list exhibits these points :

OBITUARY: Professor A. P. MORGAN.

W. A. KELLERMAN.

The death of Professor Morgan has removed from us a
genuine naturalist, an eminent mycologist, and splendid man.
On this Journal particularly will fall a heavy loss — valued con-
tributor as he was, beginning with the first volume and at
numerous times assisting even to the end of the thirteenth; in
fact, the MS. he had nearly or quite completed will be used also
in the beginning of the fourteenth volume.

It is a pleasure to state that the deep interest in nature,
particularly the vegetable world, which his daily life, study, and
publications evinced, had nothing of sordid motive — this was
not an agency or means of accumulating wealth or even a method
of earning a livelihood. His later years on the farm were quite
favorable to sympathetic enjoyment of nature and most fully
embraced. My own visit at his home a summer or two ago, with
a short ramble through his fields and woods, put me in touch
with a type of naturalist too rare these later days; revealed to
me a soul alive to the beauties of nature and responsive to her

> sweetest influences.

> Professor Morgan began studying the higher fungi when little
assistance in this country was available. There was Frost of

5 Vermont, with whom he at once came in contact, as also our
J Nestor of Agaricology, Peck of Albany. We suspect their friend-
j ly communications aided and encouraged him greatly. But an
i independent and critical mind was exhibited at once. The work

(23.3)

234 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 13

that he has done from first to last is his own — his papers being
a presentation of his own good judgment. His name is indissol-
ubly linked with American Mycology — great as the strides, and
changes in altitude in the future may be. His name has been
associated by Peck, Saccardo, Massee, and Ellis, with several
interesting species, for example, Boletus Morgani, Polyporus
Morgani, Lepiota Morgani, Russula Morgani, Cantharellus Mor-
gani. Hypoxylon Morgani, Feziza Morgani.

He did not attend scientific meetings, and therefore person-
ally he was unknown to most of the botanists — not so of course
his work extensive and valuable, which is not dependent on per-
sonal contact.

No portrait has been published, though we were insistent on
having a good photograph, — which then after some reluctance
he promised at an early opportune time. But it proved too late,
and consequently I will use one of the pictures I made for my own
pleasure as I kodaked him at his own home, standing on the
porch with the members of his family, Mrs. Morgan being en the
right. From this charming point he had a view for miles over
the rich and beautiful Miami Valley. I have asked Mrs. Morgan
for a brief outline of her husband's life and the following points
she has kindlv furnished me :

Andrew Frice Morgan, born at Centerville, Ohio, 27th Octo-
ber, 1836, son of Harrison S. Morgan and Lydia Ann Newman;
died of pneumonia at his b.ome, Preston, Ohio, Octoi:er 19, 1907.
Incineration by the Cincinnati Cremation Co., October 21, 1907.

He began the study of Botany while a teacher in the schools
of Dayton, Ohio. Was first assistant then principal in the ward
schools, afterward Professor of Mathematics in the Dayton High
School. From this position he went into the army, first in the
84th Ohio Infantry — carrying a stoutly bound copy of Gray's
Manual in his knapsack — and again as First Lieutenant in the
Fourth Independent Battalion O. V. C. Being a member of the
Dayton Light Guards he was a well drilled soldier and did a great
deal of work drilling volunteers. At the close of his army service
he was very ill with typhoid fever and to avoid confinement in
the school room traveled in the states of Wisconsin and Minne-
sota representing the school book firm of Wilson Hinkle & Co. for
seven years. A partial paralysis closed his career. He could
neither read nor write for two years. In 1870 he married Laura
M. Vail of Pomfret, Vermont, and when he quit traveling for the
school book firm he went to his wife's old home midway between
the White and Green mountain ranges. Here he began his first
study of fungi. He procured a copy of Hymenomvcetes Europaei
by Elias Fries. I find this written on the blank leaf of the well
worn volume, "Cost $8.25. Imported by Scribner Wei ford &
Armstrong. New York City, June 2, 1876." He identified the
Lichens with the aid of Tuckerman of Amherst, Mass. and

Nov. 1907] Obituary : Professor A. P. Morgan 235

Mosses with the aid of Frost of Brattleboro, making the personal
acquaintance of both these men. His early gatherings of Agarics
were determined by Chas. H. Peck of Albany, N. Y., with whom
he has kept up communication ever since. After more than three
years of this delightful recuperating of health he returned to Day-
ton, Ohio, and was Principal of the Second District School for
several years.

He has lived on the little farm in Preston for twenty-three
years — "the happiest of his life !" he says, studying, reading,
working in his own way. He was reading An Introduction to
Logic, by H. W. B. Joseph Oxford, a few days before his death
and had just finished reading with great pleasure Ernest Mach's
Space and Geometry.

We append a list of Professor Morgan's publications —
which we have been able to complete with Dr. Farlow's assistance.

TWO NEW HYPOGAEOUS SECOTIACEAE.

BY WILLIAM ALBERT SETCHELL.

In the immediate vicinity of Berkeley, and in fact upon the
campus of the University of CaHfornia itself, as well as elsewhere,
Dr. N. L. Gardner and myself have not infrequently found speci-
mens of two members of the Secotium-family which appear to be
new and which are strange in their habitat. They g-row in exact-
ly the same fashion that many of the so-called hypogaei do, —
i. e., not really buried in the ground, but partially buried under
earth and absolutely covered over with a compact layer (or layers)
of fallen leaves and other debris. It is in just such places and
covered in exactly the same way, that we have found many of
the true hypogaei, such as specimens of Hymenogaster, Hydnan-
gium, Tuber, etc., in this same region. The method of searching
for these Secotiaceae is just the same as that employed for the
Hymenogastraceae, Tuberaceae, etc., viz., of raking off the cover-
ing of dead leaves and exposing the ground underneath, when
they may be seen either superficial on the earth, or else very
slightly buried in it. It seems proper to call attention to this
matter of habitat, since, so far as the literature is known to me,
there is almost no mention of such habitat favored by other mem-
bers of the same group (cf. however, Bucholtz, Hedwigia, vol. 40,
p. 314, 1901) and also because of the .suppo.sed absence of hypo-
gaeous species in this family, the statement has been made that
the members of this group are all epigaeous. (cf. Fischer, in
Engler and Prantl, die nat. Pflanzcnfam. T. i * * p. 299, 1898).

Another striking thing about the plants with which this
article is concerned is, that they both appear at first sight to be

Nov. 1907] Two New Hypogaeotis Secotiaceae 237

young individuals of some Hymenomycetous species. On first
being; uncovered one looks very much like some species of
Coprinus or similar genus, while the other has a very strik-
ing resemblance to a young Russula with a red pileus. Both
have well developed stipes, what appear at first sight to be gills,
and one has a transverse veil, although the last is slight. On
careful examination, however, it is seen that they are members
of the Secotiaceae and, although new, are related to species long
described.

Both of these plants belong to the genus Secotium as extend-
ed by Fischer in his account of this family in the Engler and
Prantl. A careful study of all the forms included under Seco-
tium in this extended sense, however, will probably result in a
splitting into several different genera, each reasonably distinct
from the other. I am not sufficiently acquainted with the species
described otherwise than from description and shall consequently
not undertake any segregation which has not already been pro-
posed. I realize the difficulties in proposing any satisfactory
ultimate segregation except as the result of extensive and compre-
hensive study of types and of fresh or well prepared alcoholic
materials representing various conditions and stages of develop-
ment. In general appearance, all the species are agaricoid rather
than like the members of the Hymenogastraceae, while in struct-
ure of the mature gleba, they in common with the other Secoti-
aceae. range from those closely resembling the Hymenogastraceae
to those which have gill-like structures which anastomose only
slightly. In color of spores, the members of this genus in its
extended sense range from colorless through yellow and brown
to black, while in shape of spores, they vary from globular through
ovoid to fusiform. These extreme variations make the proper
reference as to genus very uncertain in the case of new species.

The type of the genus Secotium is 6^. Guienzii Kunze from
the neighborhood of the Cape of Good Hope. It was briefly de-
scribed by Kunze in 1840 (Flora, p. 322) and it has been well
illustrated from the original specimens, by Corda (Icones Fun-
gorum, vol. 5, pi. 6, f. 10-18, 1842), so that we may judge fairly
of all necessary details of its structure. With its distinct volva,
the coarse veins of the gleba, its lack of anything resembling
lamellae, its fairly regular chambers, and obovoid, colorless
spores, it differs very decidedly from either of the two plants
which are the subject of this article, as well as from all other
species which have thus far been referred to the same genus with
it. In the same work, Corda also figures Berkeley's S. melano-
sporimi (loc. cit., pi. 6, f. 19-24) which most nearly of all yet
described species resembles S. Guienaii, but it has no persistent
and conspicuous volva, what appears to be a sort of arachnoid
transverse veil, and very dark, brownish-black, ovoid spores. It
has, however, similar veins running out through the gleba.

238 fournal of Mycology [Vol.13

Finally Corda illustrates and describes a second species of Berk-
eley's, viz. — 5, coarctatnm, from Swan River in Southwestern
Australia, the same locality whence the original specimens of the
preceding species also came. S. coarctatnm seems to be close
to the plant described below under the name of .S'. tennipes and
its characters will be discussed in that connection. It is certainly
some considerably different from both the species mentioned
above. There is one other type which especially concerns us in the
present consideration and that is the S. Mattirolanus which is the
type of the genus Elasmomyces of Cavara (cf. Malpighia, 1898).
This genus is subsumed under Secotium by Fischer (loc. cit.) but
with the statement that it is doubtless to be considered independ-
ent, only the difficulty at present is to determine just which of
the described species of Secotium are to be associated with it as
well as perhaps the exact lines of demarcation between the two
genera. The species, to be described below under the name of
Elasmomyces rnssnloides, is very close to Cavara's plant and a
farther discussion will be found in connection with the description
of it. Of the other species referred to this genus few are
known to me from actual specimens. The widely distributed 5*.
acuminatum (or ^S. agaricoidcs Hollos) has not occurred to me
nor does it occur in Californian collections, unless indeed, as
hardly seems probable from the descriptions, it is identical with
S. nuhigenmn, Harkness, as Hollos supposes (cf. Hollos, Die
Gastromyceten Ungarns, p. 37, 1904, under 5. agaricoidcs, also
Lloyd, Mycological Notes, p. 139). Hollos has also referred
under the same species the 5. erythroce phahim Tulasne, a species
collected by myself in New Zealand, which seems certainly amply
distinct from the Hungarian plant, at least. A careful search for
the type specimen of 5". nuhigcnum, Harkness, in his collection in
the Herbarium of the California Academy of San Francisco, even
before the bulk of that collection was destroyed by the fire follow-
ing the earthquake of April iS, 1906, failed to disclose it and there
seems to be no doubt that Harkness failed to retain, or at least,
to carefully preserve it. The Secotium Texense B. & C, as well
as the S. dccipiens Peck, seem properly to be referred to the genus
Gyrophragmium as .has been done (cf. Lloyd, loc. cit. pp. 154 and

197)-

Tn all there seems to be only six species of those credited to
this genus which have been referred to as having been found in
the United States, vife. :

S. texense B. & C, now referred to Gyrophragmium.

6". decipiens Peck, now referred to Gyrophragmium.

^. nuhigenum Harkness, which has been referred, but probably

erroneously to S. acuminatum Mont.
S. Warnci Peck, which seems by unanimous consent to be referred

to S. acnminatum Mont,

Nov. 1907] Two New Hypogaeous Secotiaceae 239

S. coarctatiim B. & C, to which species a specimen from Texas
has been referred by Lloyd (cf. under 5. tenuipes below) and

5. macrosporum Lloyd, from Texas (Lloyd, Myc. Notes, p. 139,
pi. 13, f. 12-16, 1898).

It will be seen from this list that there are only four species,
in all probability, of Secotium in our flora and neither of two de-
scribed below are likely to belong to any one of these. They have
been compared as carefully as possible with all the descriptions
and figures so far as known to me and seem reasonably, if not
amply, distinct.

Secotium tenuipes sp. nov. — Gregarium ; peridio subglo-
boso aut late ovoideo, subumbonato, basi plus minusve truncato et
velo horizontali exiguo evanescente arachnoideoque instructo,
1-2 cm. lato et 1-1.5 cm. alto, luteo-fusco ad fusco, glabro, car-
noso ; gleba a stipite fere libera sed ad apicem extremam lamelli-
formiter decurrente, lacunis sinuosis aut regulariter aut indef-
inite, labyrinthico marginibus lamelliformibus, luteo-fusca, sine
venis propriis ; stipite longo aut brevi (ad 2 cm.), gracile, evolvato,
striato, per glebam libere percurrente sed ad apicem in glebam
expanso; basidiis 2-4-sporiferis, sterigmatibus distinctis subintu-
mescentibusque ; sporis ellipticis aut ovoideis, 12-1611 longis, 8-12/1
latis, luteofuscis, levibus. In terram argillaceam sub foliis Euca-
lyptus et Quercus prope Berkeley et San Francisco, Californiam.
Plate io7,^f. 4-8.

This species is not uncommon under the leaves of Euca-
lyptus Globulus and of some other trees, particularly oaks, in
the vicinity of the Eucalyptus, both in the neighborhood of Berk-
eley and of San Francisco. When first uncovered it looks very
much like a Bolbitius, or a Coprinus, especially when the lamelli-
form gleba is exposed more than usual at the base. This
aspect is very well shown in the figure on plate 107. It is
usually four to five centimeters in height, with a longer or shorter
stipe, an evanescent and somewhat arachnoid veil, and the whole
plant is a yellow-brown to a dark-brown color. They generally
appear more or less bent, flattened under the weight of the layer
of leaves which entirely conceals them from view until exposed
by the use of the rake. They occur scattered over a considerable
area, as a rule, in twos or threes together and seem to prefer
slight slopes which are well drained and yet retain moisture
longer than the neighboring levels. There is little trace of any
structure which might be supposed to represent a volva, but the
transverse veil while scanty and arachnoid, is still distinct in the
early sta.o^es of adult development. In structure of the gleba,
the specimens seem to vary considerably. In some, the chambers
are very regular in shape and position and this is particularly to
be seen in a transverse section of what we may call the pileus.
Even on the margins which abut on the stipe and the lower ex-

240 Journal of Afycology [Vol.13

posed portions, the gill-like structure is not very pronounced, but
in other specimens the gill-like structure of the gleba is very
plainly to be seen. It is always more or less apparent in longi-
tudinal sections as may be seen on comparing figures 5 and 6 on
Plate 107. In some cases the anastomosing plates seem much like
those of a Favolus. altliough it i-^ difficult to make certain of any
regularity such as occurs usually in specie^ of that genus. The
polyporoid and agaricoid resemblances arc, however, more strik-
ing than hymenogastroid. The chambering, nevertheless, is
sufficiently complete to range this species in the Hymenogastrineae
rather than in any other group of equal rank.

In appearance and structure, this species varies so much from
5. Guienzii, the type of the genus that it may well be doubted
whether it will ultimately be considered cogeneric with it, but, at
present, it seems best to refer to Secotium rather than attempt
to split up that genus. Its nearest relatives are 5^. coaractum
Berkeley and S. Gnnnii Berkeley. It resembles very closely the
figures of Berkeley (Hooker's Journal of Botany, 1845) and of
Corda (Icones Fungorum, pt. I, pi. 6, f. 25-30), but differs from
them in the shape of the pileus (or peridium) and in the shape
and size of the spores. From 5". Gnnnii Berkeley as described
by IMassee (Grevillea, vol. 19, p. 96. 1891 ), it difi:ers in tb.e slender
sterigmata and in the shape and size of the spores. Lloyd (The
Lycoperdaceae of Australia, New Zealand and Neighboring
Islands, p. 7, pi. 26, f. 7 and 8) figures a plant from Texas, under
the name of S. coarctaium, which may belong to this species. It
agrees reasonably well in habit, but the spores appear to be more
globular than in our plants. I am indebted to Dr. Ed. Fischer of
Bern, for examining material and giving me the benefit of his
opinion concerning the position of this plant.

and occurs in small numbers usually more or less buried in the
soil and covered by a thick layer of leaves. W.hen the leaves are

raked off it is seen partially (up to about half) buried and looking
very much like a young- Russula of one or other of the common
red-topped species. The illusion is not dispelled when it is re-
moved from its place and examined, for the pseudo-lamallae
showing- at the base of the peridium give still a very decided
agaricoid appearance. When the gleba is cut across, however,
all doubt is removed, since, except for the percurrent stipe, the
structure is thoroughly hymenogastroid. The lacunae are regular
and open and there is no such inner indefinite and confusing
lamelliform structure as has been mentioned as occurring- in the
preceding species. A comparison of figures 2, 5, and 6 will show
what is meant better than words may describe. The basidia are
most commonly 2-spored in the specimens I have examined and the
spores while simply appearing rough under a moderate power
still show something of the irregular reticulation of raised lines
which appear distinctly when subjected to examination with an
oil immersion objective. In some specimens cystidia appear very
niimerous while in others few are to be seen. The affinities of
this species are very closely with E. Mattirolanits Cav., from which
it is to be distinguished by the color of the peridium, the more
rounded and thicker margins, and the smaller sculptured spores.
Dr. Ed. Fischer has kindly compared our specimens with an
original plant from Cavara and points out these distinctions.
From Secotium (Elasmomyces) Krjnkozvcnse Bucholtz and S.
(Elasmomyces) Michailowskiannm Bucholtz, so far as I may
judge from the descriptions, this species differs in color as well
as size and markings of the spores. These three species seem to
be the only Secotiums thus far described with which it is neces-
sary to compare our plan.

SACCARDO'S RECENT ARRANGEMENT AND NOMEN«
CLATURE OF THE FUNGI.

A REVIEW BY W. A. KELLERMAN.

In the Bullettino della Societa Botanica Italiana, issued
March 30, 1907, we find the following title : P. A. Saccardo e
G. B. Traverse : — Sulla Disposizione e nomenclatura dei gruppi
micologici da seguirsi nella Flora Italica Cryptogama. The au-
thors seize the opportunity while their Flora is being printed, to-
outline a more consistent terminology and arrangement of the
groups of the fungi, which we desire to commend, and therefore
reproduce the same below. Saccardo has heretofore called atten-
tion to the propriety of using the Latin form -mycctac, instead of
the Greek -mycetes, since these words are in apposition to the
Latin word plantae. He himself has been using it and other bot-
anists also are taking it up.

In the scheme it will be seen that the termination -ales is used
for the Orders and -nccae for the Families. The authors for
the names of the several groups are given, also the date when
each was published. An attempt has been made to reproduce this
important part of the article verbatim et literatim, as follows :

Orton, W. A.

The annual summary of "Plant Diseases in 1906" occupies
eight closely printed pages in the Yearbook of the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture for 1906.

Sheldon, John L.

In a short article relative to "The Taxonomy of a Leaf
-Spot Fungus of the Apple and other Fruit Trees," it is
pointed out that the spores are not hyaline, not slightly
smoky but considerably smoky, even approaching olive-
brown. Hence, Phyllosticta pirina Sacc. is transferred to the
genus Coniothyrium — C. pirina (Sacc.) Sheldon n. n. See
Torreya, July, 1907.

Overton, James Bertram.

This excellent piece of work — "The Morphology of the
Ascocarp and Spore-formation in the many-spored Asci of The-
cotheus pelletieri" — published in the Botanical Gazette, Decem-
ber 1906, could not be adequately sketched in a single paragraph
even of considerable length. Copious literature is cited and dis-
cussed, then the work on Thecotheus, a Discomycete (Ascobo-
laceae) is outlined, and illustrated by two lithographic plates.
This fungus has a fruit-body formed from several ascogonia
(being a compound apothecium). The asci arise, says the au-
thor, from the subterminal cells of the recurved tips of the asco-
genous hyphae which cells are binucleate ; and the ascus nucleus
is formed by the fusion of these two primary ascus nuclei. The
ascus nucleus divides by triple division — and finally 32 free
nuclei are formed in the ascus. Spore delimitation follows the
process described by Harper; each spore is uninucleate.

Durand, Elias J.

Dr. Durand gives a brief account in the Journal of Mycol-
ology, July 1907, of "The Mycological Writings of Theodor
Holmskjold and their relation to Persoon's Commentatio."
His points are that Holmskjold's text has appeared in four forms :
(i) as a privately distributed folio volume with plates, 1790; (2)
as a contribution to Usteri's Annalen without plates, 1795; (3)
as a volume edited by Persoon without plates, 1797; (4) as a
volume of "Beata ruris, Fungis danicis a Theodoro Holmskjold
impensa", with plates, 1799. Persoon's Commentatio appeared
first in his edition of Holmskjold, 1797, and in the same year as
a reprint from the last with a modified title and slightly modified
text.

Nov. 1907] Notes from Mycological Literature 263

Sumstine, David R.

A description of "Polyporus Pennsylvanicus Sp. Nov." is
given in the July No. of the Journal of Mycology. The plant
is related to P. polyporus, P. arcularius, P. elegans, and P. lentus.

Sheldon, John L.

Diseased plants in the greenhouse of the West Virginia Ex-
periment Station harbored a Gloeosporium, from which pure
cultures were made and subjected to critical study. Perithecia
appeared containing slender paraphyses and club-shaped asci
with hyaline single-celled spores. The name given is Physalo-
spora Dracaenae Sheldon n. sp. See "A Study of the Leaf-Tip
Blight of Dracaena Fragrans," in the Journal of Mycology, July
1907.

Christman, A. H.

In the 15th volume of the Transactions of the Wisconsin
Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters, "The Nature and Devel-
opment of the Primary Uredospore" is discussed and illustrated
with a page of figures. The author says "The hyphae of the pri-
mary uredospores differ from those that produce the later uredos-
pores, in that they apparently also produce spermatia while those
of the secondary viredospores do not. In structure, too, there is
a difference. "Those hyphae associated with the spermatia, in
€very case that I have observed, are composed of uninucleated
cells, while the mycelial cells of stages unaccompanied by sper-
matia have regularly two more compact and smaller nuclei."
The development of the cells preparatory to fusion is sketched.
"The cells fusing are, as far as can be seen, equal, and the pro-
cess is, at least apparently, a fusion of equal gametes, rather than
the fertilization of an egg by the entrance of a nucleus from some
other cell." The fusion cell is therefore practically, at least, a
zygospore — but the reader must refer to the article to follow the
argument.

Spaulding, Parley.

A brief account is given, Science, August 16 (1907), of "A
BHght Disease of Young Conifers," due to a species of Pestal-
ozzia — here proven for the first time in America to be a true
parasite, as hitherto known in Europe. It occurred on two-year-
old seedlings of Pinus ponderosa and P. divaricata in a conifer
nursery in Nebraska. The disease is characterized by a gradual
dying back of the needles from the tip to the base, thence into
the stem, finally killing the tree. Pure cultures and successful
inoculations on Pinus ponderosa were made. It is recommended
to remove the diseased trees and spray with Bordeaux mixture.

264 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 13-

Journal Royal Horticultural Society, Vol. XXX, 1906.

In this volume there were published two mycological articles
by Ernest vS. Salmon, namely, "On the American Mildew and the
need for Legislation ;" and "Pn a Fungus Disease of the Cherry
Laurel," (Prunus laurocerasus L.).

Journal Royal Agricultural Society, Vol. 67, 1906.

In the "'Annual Report for 1906 of the Consulting Botanist,'*^
William Carruthers, a short popular account is given of a few
diseases of plants, as Pear rust (Gymnosporangium sabinae
Dicks), and the American Gooseberry Mildew ( Sphaerotheca
mors-uvae Berk.).

Peck, Charles H.

In the "Report of the State Botanist 1906," which is Bull-
etin 116, Botany 10, New York State Museum, published July
1907, we find the usual plan of these valuable annual accounts.
About two dozen species of Mushrooms are described and sev-
eral new names are given. Eleven species of edible Fungi are
described and illustrated by colored plates. A monograph is
given of the New York species of Hygrophorus, and of Russula.
These are accompanied with full clear keys, making them very
useful to those who wish to study our Agarics. It would require
small addition to extend the range and include all species in the
Eastern United States; we hope to see these studies of Agaric-
aeace from year to year until all the genera are presented.

Sheldon, John L.

In an article in Science, August 9, 1907, this author states
that he has been, during the past four years, collecting specimens
of Apple leaves and fruits having spots on them caused by fungi.
The fungus here discussed is Phyllosticta solitaria E. & E., found
on leaves also of the crab-apple. Then it was found on the
petioles of the common and the crab-apple, also on yearling and
older branches. This disease has been called "fruit-blotch,"
"apple-blotch," "dry-rot," etc.

Heald, F. D.

In Science, for August 16, 1907, some observations on "Gym-
nosporangium macropus," as to the time of infection, were made
in Nebraska, 1906 and 1907; concluding that two explanations
suggest themselves: "(i) The fungus is either perennial in
the cedar, or, (2) The aecidiospores of one season produce the
cedar apples w.hich appear in June of the next year and reach
maturity in the autumn." Though there is some evidence of the
perennial character of the fungus, the observer thinks his second
explanation the more probable.

Nov. 907] Notes Jrom Mycological Literature 266

Bioletti, Frederic T.

In a Bulletin (i86) of the California Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, February 1907, we find an account of the "Oidium
or Powdery Mildew of the vine," — a description of the disease
(Uncinula spiralis) and results of spraying. Of the four most
serious fungous disease — Peronospora, Black Rot, Anthracnose
and Powdery Mildew (or Oidium) — the last only is found in
California. Anthracnose is a native of Europe, but the others
originated on the wild vines of the eastern and central parts of
the United States. The dryness of our climate [says the author]
is undoubtedly the cause of our immunity to Peronospora, An-
thracnose, and Black Rot, and while Oidium requires less mois-
ture than these diseases for its development, it spreads more
rapidly and is more difficult to control in a moist atmosphere
than a dry one."

Rea, Carleton.

Based mainly on the characters of the exoperidium it is told
in plain language "How to distinguish the species of British
Lycoperda in the field," in a pamphlet of four pages, issued by
the British Mycological Society, October 1906. The author sug-
gests that George Massee's division of the species into those with
rough spores and those with smooth spores is scarcely apropos
— and commends Von Bembeke's sections, Asterosporae and
Subasterosporae. He disagrees also with C. G. Lloyd's defiinition
of Calvatia and Bovistella.

Thorn, Charles.

The subject of "Fungi in Cheese Ripening" is discussed
at length, as based on the investigation of this author, particu-
larly of Camembert cheese and Roquefort cheese. Penicillium
camemberti Thom (nomen novum) and Penicillum roqueforti
Thom (novem novum) are technically described; and Oidium
or Oospora lactis, a cosmopolitan organism, also occupies a con-
spicuous place in the report.

Schrenk, Herman von, and Hedgcock, George G.

Some experiments to determine whether by wrapping grafts
it would be possible to reduce the number of apple trees affected
with crown-gall, are reported in Bulletin 100 of the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Bureau of Plant Industry. Some of the
points in the summary are that the disease usually apears at or
near the union of the scion and root piece and it is recommended
that apple grafts be wrapped with cloth or rubber.

NEW SPECIES OF FUNGI. NEW york

BY CHARLES H. PECK. *iOTANlCAL

QARDEiN.

Clitocybe pulchernma Peck n. sp.

Pileus fleshy, convex becoming umbilicate or centrally de-
pressed, decurved on the margin, glabrous, lemon yellow, flesh
white, yellowish under the cuticle; lamellae thin, close, arcuate,
decurrent, whitish or faintly tinged with yellow; stem equal
or slightly tapering upward, solid above, hollow toward the base,
subglabrous, colored like or a little paler than the pileus ; spores
nearly or quite globose, 4 // in diameter.

Pileus 2.5-5 cm. broad ; stem 2.5-4 cm. long, 6-8 mm. thick.
Among fallen leaves. Near Detroit, Michigan. October. Dr.
O. E. Fischer.

A very beautiful species, belonging to Group 3, Tribe Dis-
ciformes, and related to Clitocybe vernicosa, C. veneris and C.
venustissima, but differing from all of these in its pale yellow
pileus.

Pleurotus elongatipes Peck n. sp.

Pileus fleshy but thin, convex or nearly plane, even on the
margin, glabrous, white, flesh white ; lamellae thin, close, rounded
behind, adnexed, white ; stem very long, solid or stuffed, often
more or less curved or flexuous, usually eccentric, glabrous above,

§more or less tomentose toward the base, white; spores globose,

22 4 /* in diameter.

I Pileus 5-10 cm. broad; stem 5-15 cm. long. 6-10 mm. thick.

^ Decaying wood in woods. Near Detroit, Michigan. October.

^ Dr. O. E. Fischer.

~ (1)

2 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 14

This species belongs to Group 2, Tribe Excentrici and is
related to P. lignatilis, from which it may be separated by its
glabrous pileus, adnexed lamellae, more glabrous elongated stem
and by the absence of a farinaceous odor.

Lactarius hibbardae Peck n. sp.

Pileus fleshy, broadly convex or nearly plane, with or with-
out an umbo, slightly zonate, dry, minutely tomentose or
pubescent, grayish brown tinged with pink, darker and smoother
in the center, even on the thin and sometimes w^avy margin,
flesh whitish, odor weak or none, milk white, taste acrid ; lamellae
thin, narrow, close, adnate, some of them forked, cream color ;
stem equal or slightly tapering upward, stuffed, glabrous below,
clothed at the top with a minute whitish tomentum, pinkish
white ; spores globose, 6-8 fx broad.

Pileus 1.5-2.7 cm. broad; stem 2.5-4 cm. long, 3-6 mm.
thick. Ground under young pine trees. West Roxbury, Massa-
chusetts. October. Miss A. Hibbard.

The species is related to L. glyciosmus from which it may
be separated by the lack of squamules from the pileus. the
absence of the very distinct antl peculiar odor of that species
and by the different character of the surface of the stem. The
plants are sometimes cespitose. The species is dedicated to its
discoverer.

Entoloma suave Peck n, sp.

Pileus thin, broadly convex, umbilicate, with decurved
margin, glabrous, shining, grayish brown ; lamellae moderately
close, slightly rounded behind, adnexed, yellowish becoming flesh
color ; stem equal or nearly so, glabrous, stuffed, whitish
or pale yellow ; spores broadly elliptic or subglobose, even. 6-8 /i
long, 5-6 p. broad.

Pileus about 2.5 cm. broad ; stem about 2.5 cm. long, 2-3
mm. thick. On old stumps in swampy places. Ellis, Magnolia
and Newton, Massachusetts. November. G. E. Morris.

This is a very neat and attractive little mushroom, having
a very regular glabrous and shining pileus and a beautiful nearly
:straight stem. Its peculiar features, which easily separate it
from nearly all other species of the genus, are its umbilicate
pileus and the even, not angular, spores.

Leptonia abnormis Peck n. sp.

Pileus thin convex, broadly umbilicate, glabrous, hygroph-
anous, blackish brown, shining and obscurely striatulate on the
margin when moist, dark grayish brown when the moisture has
escaped, flesh colored like the pileus ; lamellae broad, subdistant,

Jan. 1908] First Report on Guatemalan Ascomycetae 3

slightly rounded behind, adnexed, pinkish or pale flesh color
when mature; stem equal, glabrous, hollow, whitish; spores
broadly elliptic or subglobose, 6-7 /* long, 5-6 /* broad. '

Pileus 2-2.5 cm. broad; stem about 2.5 cm. long, 2 mm.
thick. Ellis, Massachusetts. November. G. E. Morris.

This species is peculiar in its glabrous pileus and broad
shallow umbilicus. This is likened by Mr. Morris to the con-
cavity of a kid-glove fastener.

Pistillaria batesii Peck n. sp.

Densely gregarious, forming elongated almost compact
patches on the stem of the host plant; club soft, fleshy, ovate
or oblong, obtuse, sessile or narrowed below into a very short
stem, pallid when moist, grayish pink and pruinose when dry,
.5-1 mm. long; spores filiform, straight or curved, hyaline,'
10-20 II long, 1-2 ju, broad.

Stems of purple poppy mallow, Callirhoe involucrata. Red
Cloud, Nebraska. July. Rev. J. M. Bates.

This is one of the smallest species of the genus, and is
parasitic on the under side of the creeping stems, appearing first
near the base and advancing toward the growing point. I wish
it to commemorate the name of its discoverer. Albany, New
York. December 2, 1907.

DR. REHM'S FIRST REPORT ON GUATEMALAN
ASCOMYCETAE.*

W. A. KELLERMAN.

Collections of Fungi in Guatemala the past three years
mclude a large number of Ascomycetae. A dozen of these were
placed in Dr. H. Rehm's hands recently and I am permitted to
publish below his determinations, comments and descriptions of
new species.

The specimens represent widely distant and diverse regions
of that Republic, as well as great extremes in altitude; the De-
partamento, as well as exact locality in each case is. indicated.

All of the remaining ascomycetous material secured will be
submitted to Dr. Rehm, and the 'results will be published in later
jSfumbers of this Journal.

CULTURES OF UREDINEAE IN 1907.^

BY J. C. ARTHUR.

The present article forms the eighth of a series of reports-
by the author upon the culture of plant rusts, covering the years
1899 to the close of 1907. The grass and sedge rusts form a
prominent part of the year's \vork. the same as in previous seas-
ons, but it has been possible to include also some very interesting
studies of a number of species of Gymnosporangium. This was
chiefly brought about by two excursions made l3y my colleague,
Mr. F. D. Kern, and myself for the express purpose of securing
this sort of culture material, and for making observations re-
garding probable alternate hosts. The first trip was to Lake
Forest, 111., on April 6, where we secured G. clavipes, G. dava-
riaeforme and G. nidus-avis in the locality where the last two
were obtained by Dr. R. A. Harper for the distribution in Ellis
& Everhart's North American Fungi and Fungi Columbiani.
Explicit directions were given us by Dr. Harper to enable us to

' Read before the Botanical Society of America at the Chicago meet-
ing, December, 1907.

go to the right spots. The second trip was to Colorado where
collections were made April 27 at Boulder, May i at Glenwood
Springs and May 2 at Wolcott. Unusual success attended this
search for material, due in large part to the solicitous assistance
of Mr. E. Bethel, of Denver, President of the Colorado Academy
of Science, who accompanied us to Boulder, and gave detailed
directions for finding infested trees at the other places. Mr.
Bethel's intimate knowledge of the localities, and his own exten-
sive observations upon these and other rusts of Colorado, all be-
ing placed at our disposal, made the few days of our stay in the
state remarkably rich in results. The species of Gymnosporan-
gium and Roestelia obtained upon this trip were found upon
subsequent study to be in part quite distinct from the well known
species to which they have heretofore been referred, and in part
entirely new discoveries. These forms have recently been named
and characterized by Mr. Kern,^ and two of the species, G. Beth-
eli and G. hiconspicuum, have been successfully cultivated.

For the third time the Botanical Society of America gener-
ously made a grant to forward this series of studies. This year
it was sufficient to pay in large part for the assistance needed in
testing the viability of spores, making the sowings, and recording
the results, the balance being supplied by the Indiana Experiment
Station.

The work was done by Mr. Frank Vasku, a senior student of
the University of Iowa, recommended by Professor T. H. Mac-
Bride. Like the two previous men from the Botanical Depart-
ment of the University of Iowa, who have assisted in this work,
Mr. Fred. J. Seaver in 1903 and Mr. F. D. Kern in 1904, Mr.
Vasku showed exceptional skill in conducting this class of work.
His quick understanding of the ])roblems, careful and accurate
manipulation, and untiring devotion, were large factors in de-
termining the amount and value of the season's results. Most of
the sowings of Gymnosporangium spores were made by Mr.
Kern, who took an especial interest in this part of the work, as
it bore upon the subject of a thesis in preparation for the mas-
ter's degree.

In order to study as many species as possible from a wide
range of localities, and in this way to investigate the North
American rust flora as a whole, it is necessary to depend upon
the good will and generosity of contributors for much of the cul-
ture material and for hints regarding probable alternation of
hosts. Those who have aided the work this year are Rev. J.
M. Bates, Red Cloud, Neb., leading with 30 collections of cul-
ture material, and Messrs. E. Bethel, Denver, Colo., W. A. Kel-
lerman, Columbus, Ohio, T- Dearness, London, Ont., C. W. Edg-
erton. Ithaca, N. Y., A. "O. Garrett, Salt Lake Citv, Utah. H.

J. Pool, Lincoln, Neb., E. W. Olive, Madison, Wis., F. L. Stev-
ens, West Raleigh, N. C, C. F. Baker, Santiago de la Vegas,
Cuba, and Geo. W. Carver, Tuskegee, Ala. Host plants suitable
to grow in pots and be used for inoculation were contributed by
C. S. Sargent, Jamaica Plains, Mass., E. Bethel, Denver, Colo.,
and J. J. Davis, Racine, Wis. For these favors, and for the
hearty co-operation of the above and other correspondents most
grateful acknowledgment is here extended.

During the present season 98 collections of material with
resting spores and 20 collections with active spores were em-
ployed, from which 438 drop cultures were made to test the
germinating condition of the spores. Out of the 98 collections
with resting spores 29 could not be brought to germination,
although seemingly in perfectly healthy condition. This left 68
collections of available material, with' which the cultures were
made. These 68 collections belonged to 47 species of rusts, a
considerable part, however, being forms whose life cycle had
already been ascertained, the sowings being made for purposes
of verification or extending the range of "hosts. Beside these
collections of resting spores sowings were made of nine species
of Gymnosporangium, and of a few species of Coleosporium,
Aecidium and Peridermium. Altogether 296 sowings were made,
employing for the purpose 113 species of hosts, and more than
two and a half times that number of individual plants, all grown
temporarily in pots, so that the work could be done in the green-
house under perfect control. In a few cases where small potted
plants were not available cuttings were used, being kept alive by
frequently changing the water'in which thev were thrust, and
successively cutting ofif a bit of the stem to give fresh absorbing
surface. The results of this work are given in the following par-
agraphs, and are divided into negative results, positive results
with species whose life cycles have already been ascertained by
the writer or other investigators, and positive results with species
whose life cycles are now first placed on record.

Of the trials giving negative results the following may be
recorded to serve for reference in future studies :

I. PucciNiA on Carex Pennsylvanica Lam., collected at
Sargent, Neb., by Rev. J. M. Bates, was sown on Aesculus gla-
bra, Napaea dioica, and Symphorkarpiis racemosus. Another
collection made near Lafayette, Ind., by ^^Ir. Frank Vasku, was
sown on Anemonella thalictroidcs, Ranunculus sepfenfrionalis,
Solidago Canadensis, J'iola striata, and Trillium recurvatum.

10 Journal of Mycology [Vsl. 14

Still a third collection made at Boulder, Colo., by the writer, was
sown on Hydro phylhtm cap'xtatum, Lactiica Canadensis, Iris ver-
sicolor, Phrynia Icptostachya, Artemisia serrata, and A. dracun-
culoides. None of these sowings gave infection. Similar mate-
rial had been tried on five of these hosts before, and on twenty-
nine other species, all with negative results.* The rust on this
host is common in the northern states east of the Rocky moun-
tains, and appears from its morphological characters to be distinct
from any described form. Fifty-five sowings have now been
made, beginning in 1903, using forty-three species of hosts, and
as no innoculation has been effected, the necessity for careful
field observations to detect the probable alternate host becomes
highly imperative in order to determine the real life cycle.

2. PucciNiA on Carex gravida Bailey, sent twice by Rev.
J. M. Bates, first from St. Paul, Neb., was sown on Aesculus
glabra, Viola ciicullata, Ribcs Cynosbati, and Hydrophyllum
Virginicum, and second from Red Cloud, Neb., was sown on
Hypoxis erecta, Housfonia purpurea, Laciniaria spicata, Lactuca
Canadensis, and Artemisia dracunculoides, with no infection.
Similar material from the same region has been sown in previous
years upon thirty-four other species of hosts with negative
results.^

3. Plccinia on Carex Douglasii Boott. collected at Valen-
tine, Neb., by Rev. J. M. Bates, was sown on Symphoricarpus
racemosus, Kapaea dioica, Psoralea Onobrychis, Aesculus glabra,
Laciniaria spicata, Hypoxis erecta, and Flacata comosa, with no
infection.

4. PuccixiA Ellisiana Thuem., on Andropogon scoparius
Michx., collected at Boulder, Colo., by Mr. E. Bethel, was sown
on Arabis sp., Thalictrum dioicum, Actaea alba, Psoralea Onobry-
chis, Poly gala Senega, J'iola striata, Polemonmm reptans, Sol-
idago Canadensis, Boltonia asteroides, Senecio obovatus, Le-
pachys pinnata, and Smilocina stellata, with no infection.

5. Puccini A viijoata Ellis & Ev., on Chrysopogon airnacens
(Alichx.) Benth., collected at Grand Island, Neb., by Rev. J.

6. PucciNiA EMACULATA Schw., On Paiticum capillare L.,
collected in the vicinity of Lafayette, Ind., by Mr. F. D. Kern,
was sown on Psora! ea Onobrychis, Viola cucullata, and Myosotis
palustris, with no infection. This rust was sown in previous
seasons on twenty other species of hosts. ^

7. PucciNiA Arundinariae Schw., on Arundinaria macro-
sperma Michx., collected at Clemson College, S. C, by Mr. H.

D. House, was sown on Myrica cerifera, Ilex opaca, Smilax his-
pida, and Lysimachia quadrifolia, with no infection.

8. PucciNiA ScHEDONNARDi K. & S., ou Schedonuardus
paniculatus (Nutt.) Trel., collected at Boulder, Colo., by Mr.

E. Bethel, was sown on Napaea dioica, Sorbiis Americana, Xan-
thoxylwn Americanum, Falcata comosa, Triosteum perfoliatum,
Laciniaria spicata, and Aster paniculatus, with no infection. Like
material was sown in previous seasons on eleven other species of
hosts.'

9. PucciNiA on Muhlenbergia tenniflora (Willd.) B. S.
P., collected at Red Cloud, Neb., by Rev. J. M. Bates, was sown
on Acscuhis glabra, Lepachys pinnata, Napaea dioica, Hibiscus
Moschcntos, Symphoricarpos racenwsus, with no infection.

10. PucciNiA Crandallii Pam. & Hume, on Festnca con-
finis Vasey, collected at Boulder, Colo., by Mr. E. Bethel,
was sown on Draba Caroliniana Bursa Bursa-pastoris,
Cardamine bulbosa, Hydrophyllum Virginicum, Mertensia Vir-
ginica, and Cassia Chamaecrista, with no infection.

11. Puccinia Montanensis Ellis, on Elymiis condensatus-
Presl., collected at Glenwood Springs, Colo., by Mr. F. D. Kern
and the writer, was sown on Delphinium tricorne three
times, with no infection. This material was found inter-
mixed with plants of Delphinium, species undetermined, but not
D. tricorne, which exhibited a very abundant development of
Aecidiiini Delphinii Earth., and it was assumed that the two
forms were alternates. Although the relationship was not estab-
lished by the attempted culture, yet it cannot be said to be ab-
solutely disproved, as the species of Delphinium on which the
Aecidium occurred was not used.

Another collection of apparently the same species of rust
found on Elymus brachystachys Scribn. & Ball, at Eldorado
Springs, Colo., by the same collectors, was sown on Delphinium
tricorne, with no infection.

12. PucciNiA on Poa loiigiligiila Scribii. &. Will, collected
at Boulder, Colo., by Mr. E. Bethel, was sown twice on Arabis
sp., with no infection. This rust was found so closely associated
with aecia of a species of Arabis, that it seemed almost certainly
to be genetically connected. Healthy plants of apparently the
same species of Arabis were secured from Colorado, and sow-
ings made, the spores giving strong germination, but without
positive results. The grass host was determined by Mr. P. L.
Ricker of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

13. PuccjNiA on Eriocoma cuspidata Nutt. {Oryr:opsis
cuspidata Benth.), collected at Glenwood Springs, Colo., by Mr.
F. D. Kern and the writer, was sown on Phacclia bipinnatifida,
Hypoxis crccta, Symphoricarpos racemosns, M erf ens a sp (from
Colorado), Triosteum pcrfoliatuni, Aquilegia coerulea, Thalict-
rum polygamuni, Amelanchicr Canadensis, Hydrophyllum Vir-
ginicum, Solidago Canadensis, Laciniaria spicafa, Ranunculus
recurvafus, Cassia Chaiiiaecrista, and Psoralea Onobrychis, with
no infection.

14. PucciNiA on Agropyron repens (L.) Beauv., collected
in Kenosha county. Wis., by Dr. J- J- Davis, was sown on
Polymnia Canadensis and Hydrophyllum Virgimcnm, with no
infection. This is a leaf rust having close resemblance to
Pnccinia rnbigo-vera on cereals.

15. Uromyces Rhyncosporae Ellis, on Rynchospora alba
(L.) Vahl., collected at London, Ont., by Mr. J. Dearness, was
sown on Menyanthes trifoliata and Dccodon verticillafiis, with
no infection.

16. Uromyces Junci (Desm.) Tub, on J uncus Balticus
Willd., collected at Scotia, Neb., by Rev. J. M. Bates, was sown
on Aesculus glabra, Symphoricarpos racemosus, Napaea dioica,
Silphiiini perfoliatum, Ranuncuhi.: recurvatus. Psoralen Ono-
brychis, Polygala Senega, Viola cncuUata, Apocynum canna-
binum, Polemonium reptans, Ambrosia trifida, Scnccio oboiatus,
Dirca palustris, Dccodon verticillatns, and Bidens frondo<:a, with
no infection. This rust appears to be morj^hologically identical
with the European Uromyces Junci, which has aecia upon
Pulicaria dysinterica, a host that was not at hand when sowings
were being made. It is clearly distinct from the rust on Juncus
tenuis, Uromyces Silphii (Syd.) Arth., not only on account of
its structure, but because it refuses to grow on Silphium.

17. Uromyces Orobi (Pers.) Lev., on Lathyru'^ de-
capefalus Pursh, collected at Boulder, Colo., by Prof. T. D. A.
Cockerell, was sown on Lathyrus palusfris and Euphorbia Ar-
kansana Colnradensis, with no infection. This rust is believed
to be an autoccious species, and the failure to infect Lathyrus is
not rcadilv cxolained.

1908] Ctiltures of Urcdmeae in igoy 13

The following species of rusts were successfully grown, and
the data supplement that obtained from previous cultures of this
series, or that recorded by other American or European investi-
gators. The results with Gyinnosporaiigiuin are the most con-
siderable since the work done by Dr. Roland Thaxter, concluded
at the Connecticut Experiment Station in 1890.

1. Pl'CCinia ALBiPERiDiA Arth. — Teliosporic material on
Carcx crinita Lam., collected in the vicinity of Lafayette, Ind.,
by Mr. F. D. Kern, was sown on two plants of Rihes Cynoshati
on April 16, giving rise to pycnia April 25, and aecia May 6
in one case, and in the other to pycnia April 29, and aecia
Ma}- 14.^

2. PuccixiA Caricis-Asteris Arth. — Teliosporic material
on a narrow leaved Carex, collected at Ithaca, N. Y. by Mr. C. W.
Edgerton, was sown May 8 on Aster panicidatus, Iris versicolor,
Rihes Cynoshati, and SoUdago Canadensis, with infection only
on the first named host, showing pycnia May 16, and aecia May
24. The collection was made adjacent to a clump of Iris
versicolor, covered with aecia, and there was a possibility of
genetic connection, which the culture dispels.

■ The 24th fascicle of Fungi Columbiani contained a specimen
(No. 2366) of Carex rust labelled Puccinia tenuistipes Rostr.,
and collected as late as November, 1906, at London, Ont. As
this species of rust has its aecia on Centanrea lacea, according
to a culture made by Schroter in 1885, and as that host is only
occasionally found in North America along the seacoast, and
no aecia having been seen on it in these localities.! wrote to Mr.
J. Dearness, the collector, for further information and material.
He most kindly secured viable material for me from the identical
locality. This was sown May 15 on Rihes Cynoshati, Aster
cordifoliiis, and SoUdago Canadensis, with no infection. It was
sown again May 25 on Aster cordifolius and Erigeron annuns,
this time with the production of a few pycnia b_v June 10 on the
Aster, but without formation of aecia. Still a third essay was
made by sowing Jime 5 on Aster paniculatus, followed by an
abundance of pycnia June 12, and aecia June 19, thus estab-
lishing the identity of the rust.

In visiting the locality in the spring of 1907, Mr. Dearness
discovered that the host is not Carex varia, as published, but C,
rosea Schk., and he has forwarded ample material to verify the
determination.

In justification for the use of the name applied to the rust,
Mr. Dearness writes, under date of June 22, 1907, that a col-
lection was sent to the late Mr. J. B.' Ellis in September, 1889,

'For previous cultures see Jour. Mvc. 5:53. 1902; jo :11. 1904;

\ylio thought it might be a new species and drew up a descrip-
tion. Not long afterward Mr. Ellis sent his notes and material
to Dr. Rostrup, of Copenhagen, Denmark, who pronounced it to
be P. tenuistipes Rostr., by which name it has since been called,*

3. PucciNiA Caricis (Schum.) Reb. — TeHosporic material
on Carcx stipata Muhl. from the vicinity of Lafayette, Ind.,
brought in by Mr. Frank Vasku, was sown on Urtka gracilis
April 19, giving rise to pycnia April 27, and aecia May 2;
while a similar collection brought in by Mr. F. D. Kern, and
sown April 20, gave rise to pycnia April 27, and aecia May i.

TeHosporic material on Car ex riparia Curt., collected in
November, 1906, at Scotia Junction, Neb., by Rev. J. M. Bates,
was sown April 13, on Ribes Horidum and R. rubruni, with no
infection. Another sowing was made April 19 on Urtica
gracilis, giving rise to abundant pycnia April 26, and aecia
May I. A second collection from the same region, taken in
March, 1907, was sown April 4 on Rihes Horidum, with no in-
fection; and again April 19. on Urtica gracilis, giving rise, as
in the former case, to abundant pycnia April 26, and aecia May 2.
Similar material on Carex riparia from Iowa gave the same re-
sults in 1902.'''

4. PucciNiA ANGUSTATA Pcck. — TcHosporic material on
Scirpus atrovirens Muhl., from the vicinity of Lafayette, Ind.,
brought in by Mr. Frank Vasku, was sown on Lye op us Ameri-
canus April 22, giving rise to pycnia April 29. and aecia May 7.^^

5. PucciNiA FRAxiNATA (Scliw.) Arth. — A collection
made in November, 1906, on Spartina cynosurcides Willd., at
Red Cloud, Neb., by Rev. J. M. Bates, was sown on Fraxinus
lanceolata May 11. giving rise to pycnia May 18. The same
collector sent similar material from Grand Island, Neb., in
March, 1907, which was sown on Fraxinus lanceolata May 25,
giving rise to pycnia May 30, and aecia June 13. A like col-
lection taken in April, 1907, similarly sown May 8, gave pycnia
May 17. These sowings were all made on cut branches placed
in water, which accounts for the slow development and early
termination of growth. ^-

6. PucciNiA suBNiTENS Diet.— Teliosporic material on
Dishchlis spicata (L.) Greene was sent by Rev. J. M. Bates, from
Red Cloud, Neb., and sown as follows:

April 10 on Chenopodium album; April 19, pycnia; April 23 aecia
April 10 on Bursa Bursa-pastoris; April 26, pycnia; May 1 'aecia.'
April 10 on Sarcobatus vcrmiculatus ; no infection.

April 25 on Sarcobatus vcrmiculatus; no infection.

Another collection of the rust on the same host, obtained by
the writer at Ogallala, Neb., was sown on Chenopodium album
April 29, giving rise to pycnia May 9, and aecia May 13. A
sowing at the same time on Sarcobatus vermiculatus, and again
on two plants June i, gave no inefction. It may be definftely
concluded that this species of rust as it exists in Nebraska is not
transferable to Sarcobatus vermiculatus}^

9. PucciNiA siMiLLiMA ^r//j.— Teliosporic material on
Phragmitis communis Trin., collected at Scotia Junction, Neb.,
by Rev. J. M_. Bates, was sown on Ruinex crispus, with no infec-
tion, being mistaken for the previously mentioned species. Later
it was sown on two plants of Anemone Virginiana, still with no
infection. It was then sown on Anemone Canadensis June 3,
giving rise to abundant pycnia June 11, and aecia June 19. This
is a confirmation of the restricted range of aecial host, only one
species of Anemone yet being found that can be infected. ^«

10. PucciNiA Agropyri Ellis & Ev.— This is a very com-

16 Journal of Mycology [Vol.14

by Dr. P. Dietel in 1892.^' While in the foothills of Colorado
this spring Mr. F. D. Kern and the writer observed a plant of
Clematis lignsticifolia with pycnia just starting, which was grow-
ing in the midst of some species of Agropyron heavily coated
with the wintered telia of Piiccinia Agropyri. Material was col-
lected for cultures. The host was not in fruit, but is believed
to be A. pscudorcpcns S. & S. Sowing of the spores was made
on I'iorna Scottii May 2, sparingly giving rise to pycnia May 15,
but failing to develop aecia. A sowing was made ]\Iay 10 on
Clematis Virginiana, no plants of C. ligusticifolia being available,
which gave rise to abundant pycnia May 20, and aecia May 2y.
This confirms the work by Dr. Dietel, and establishes the identity
of the European and American form of the rust, which hereto-
fore rested upon purely morphological grounds. This also shows
that Clematis Virginiana may be a host for the species, although
all collections so far reported on this host pretty certainly belong
to the Bromus rust, Pnccinia tomipara Trel.

11. PucciNiA rcrcuLiFORMis (Jacq.) Wettst. — Teliosporic
material on an undetermined species of Agropyron, obtained at
Lake Forest, 111., by Mr. F. D. Kern and the writer, was sown
May 17 on Berberis vulgaris, showing pycnia May 27, and aecia
June 5. Another collection on Agropyron teneriim Vasey, and
from Scotia Junction, Neb., by Rev. J. M. Bates, was sown in
like manner April 24, showing pycnia May 3, and aecia May 14.

Aeciospores from the latter culture were sown on Avena
sativa May 25, giving rise to uredinia June y}^

12. PucciNiA Pammelii (Trel.) Arth. — Teliosporic ma-
terial on Panicnm z'irgatum L., Collected at Red Cloud, Neb., by
Rev. T- -M- Bates, was sown on EupJwrbia corollata. with no in-
fection, and later was sown on E. morginata May 31, giving rise
to pycnia June 6, and aecia June 12. ^®

A number of attempts have been made to grow the telio-
spores of this rust upon Euphorbia marginata, but heretofore
without success. In these cases the material was collected in
Indiana, where E. marginata does not occur, but E. corollata is
common and abundant. The material used this season gives the
reverse condition : it was collected in Nebraska, where E. corol-
lata does not occur or is rare, but E. marginata is conspicuously
abundant. From cultures so far attempted there is reason to
think that we have to do with physiological species. Whether

yet been detected.

13. Uromyces acuminata Arth. — Teliosporic material on
Spartina cynosuroides Willd., collected at St. Paul, Neb., by
Rev. J. M. Bates, was sown twice on thrifty plants of Lysima-
chia quadrifolia, with no infection. It was sown on Steironema
ciliata May 14, giving rise to strongly developed pycnia May
22, and aecia May 27 ; while a second sowing May 30, gave pyc-
nia June 6, and aecia June 11. -°

These results confirm the studies of previous seasons, show-
ing that the rust called by this name in different sections of the
country should be segregated into distinct species, or else into
physiological species. More observations and material for cul-
tures are required from all parts of the region east of the Mis-
sissippi river.

14. Uromyces Scirpi (Cast.) Burr. — Teliosporic material
on Scirpus fluviatilis (Torr.) A. Gray, collected at St. Paul, Neb.,
by Rev. J. M. Bates, was sown on Oxypolis rigidiis, with no in-
fection. It was sown on Cicuta maculata May 3, giving rise to
abundant pycnia May 13, and aecia May 20, thus confirming the
work of last season.-^

15. Uromyces Silphi (Syd.) Arth. — Teliosporic material
on Juncus tenuis Willd., collected at Red Cloud, Neb., by Rev.
J. M. Bates, was sown on Silphium perfoliatum April 23, giving
rise to pycnia May 4, and aecia May 11. Similar material sent
by the same collector from Grand Island, Neb., was sown on an-
other plant of the same host May 31, giving rise as before to
pycnia June 12, and aecia June 17. These results well confirm
the work of last year.--

terial collected as in the previous instance was sown on the
Wealthy variety of Makis Mains April 12, giving rise to a few

although appearing much eralier.^^

Botryapium DC, as given in Britton & Brown's Illustrated
Flora), April 16, giving rise to pycnia April 25, but further de-
velopment stopped by injury to leaves.

Another collection made at the same place two weeks later
by -dr. F. D. Kern was sown on A. Canadensis (L.) Medic,
(plant from the Arnold Arboretum), April 30, giving rise to
pycnia ]\Iay 8, and aecia ]\Iay 29. Another sowing was made
on another plant of the same sort May 15, which gave a great
abundance of pycnia May 22, and a fine development of aecia a
month later, June 24. The above cultures were on leaves only.
The same material was now sown on both leaves and fruit of
Amelanchicr crccta Blanch, (plants received from Edw. Gillett,
of Southwick, Mass., under name of A. Canadensis, but identified
by Mr. W. K. Blanchard as typical A. erecta), May 13, and gave
pycnia on upwards of thirty fruits and many leaves May 20, and
the first aecia June 5, reaching full and normal maturity June 24.
Another sowing was made on leaves of Sorbiis Americana May
15, which gave rise to pycnia in fair amount May 21, and nor-
mally formed aecia, especially on the rachis and midribs, June 24.

The above results confirm and much extend the somewhat
uncertain work of last season.-" It leaves no further doubt that
Roestelia Nelsoni Arth. should be counted a synonym of G.
Nelsoni Arth., as suggested in the original publication of the
nam.e.

20. Gymnosporangium clavipes C. & P. — Teliosporic
material on Juniperus Sihirica Burgsd., obtained at Lake Forest,
111., by Mr. F. D. Kern, was sown on leaves of Amelanchicr inter-
media April 10, giving rise to a few pycnia May i, but without
maturing aecia. Another sowing was made on fruit of A. erecta,
also giving rise to a few pycnia June 5, but not maturing aecia.
Checking of development was doubtless due in both instances to
inherent weakness of the hosts. A sowing was made on Malus
coronaria and Cataegus sp., with no infection.

Jan. 1908] Cultures of Uredineae i?i ipoy 19

Cultures of this species were made by Prof. W. G. Farlow "
in 1883, from teliosporic material on Juniperus Virginiana which
gave rise to pycnia on leaves of Mains Mains, Aronia arhntifolia
and Amelanchier Canadensis, but failed to mature aecia. Cult-
ures were also made by Dr. Roland Thaxter^s in 1886, from
similar material, producing pycnia on leaves of Mains 'Mains
and both pycnia and well developed aecia on Amelanchier
Canadensis, especially on stems and midrifs. A difference in
the source of material used in the earlier cultures, and for the
present year, is worth noting. The former was taken from
Jumperns Virginiana, the red cedar, while the latter came from
Juniperus Sibirica, the dwarf juniper. This is the only species
of Gymnosporangimii so far known to inhabit both the true
cedars and the true junipers, and the situation should receive
careful study. Either the species is a more generalized one than
usual, which is not borne out by the geographical distribution,
or it is an aggregate of two closely related forms thus far
confused.

21. Gymmosporangium clavariaeforme (Jacq.) DC.

Teliosporic material on the stems of Juniperus Sibirica Burgsd.,
obtained at Lake Forest, 111., by Mr. F. D. Kern, was sown on
leaves of Mains Mains (Bechtel Crab variety), with no infec-
tion, and also on leaves of Amelanchier intermedia April 11,
giving rise to a few pycnia April 20. but to no further develop-
ment owing to withering of the leaves.

The first culture of this species was made in Denmark, by
Oersted, in 1867. The numerous subsequent cultures by Euro-
pean investigators are summarized by Klebahn.^^ The only
definite cultures with American material were made by Dr.
Roland Thaxter,^" in 1886 and 1887. He grew an abundance
of pycnia and aecia on Crataegus tomentosa and Amelanchier
Canadensis. Uncertain results were obtained in trials by Prof.
L. H. Pammel.31

_ 22. Gymnaspor.\ngium nidus-avis Thax.— Teliosporic ma-

infection, and also on Mains Mains (Whitney Crab variety April
10, which gave rise to a few pycnia April 17, and aecia May 11,
a period of incubation shorter than for most Gymnosporangia.
The spores for sowing were taken from large sori on the branches.
The only previous cultures of this species were made by Dr.

20 fournal of Mycology [Vol. 14

Roland Thaxter,^- in an extensive series running from i!
to 1890, inclusive. He grew it on Amelanchier Canadensis in
great abundance, showing both pycnia and aecia, and in one
instance pycnia were formed on the common apple, but failed
to develop further. Thaxter also noted the early development
of pycnia and aecia.

The following eight species have now been grown in cultures
for the first time, so far as the writer knows. The two cases
of amphispores and the one autoecious species resulted as any-
one might have taken for granted, but in the other five cases
the results are wholly unpredicted, and represent very material
advancement in the knowledge of American heteroecious rusts.

1. Puccini A vexans Farl. — Material bearing both telio-
spores and amphispores on Atheropogon curtipendiilus (Michx.)
Fourn. {Bouteloua raceniosa Lag.), was sent from Boulder,
Colo., by Air. E. Bethel, and gave good germination for the
amphispores, but the teliospores refused to grow. Sowing was
made on Atheropogon ciirtipendulns May 29, and uredinia were
observed June 21, although they may have appeared earlier and
been overlooked. The amphispores were the characteristic, dark-
colored, thick-walled and four-pored form, while the uredinio-
spores, to which they gave rise, had the usual light-colored, thin-
walled anr eight-pored appearance. The difference between the
resting form (amphispore) and active form of the urediniospores
belonging to this species is very striking. This is the second
time, as far as the writer knows, that amphispores of this species
have been seen to germinate.

2. PucciNiA Cryptandki ElHs & Barth. — Amphisporic
material on Sporohohis cryptandnts (Torr.) A. Gray, obtained
at Manitou, Colo., by Mr. F. D. Kern and the writer, was sown
on a plant of the same species of grass May 9, and uredinia
appeared May 24. In this case the difference between the resting
or amphisporic form of the urediniospores and the active or
summer form is not so marked as in the precetling species, and
yet there is no mistaking one for the other.

3. PucciNiA OBTECTA Peck. — Teliosporic material on
Scirpus Americanus Pers., obtained near Lafayette, Ind., by Mr.
F. D. Kern, was sown on Urtica gracilis, and Silphiitm perfoli-
atuni, with no infection, and afterward on Bidens frondosa June
5, givin--- rise to a few pycnia June 19, and aecia first noticed
July 6. but probably opening earlier. Another sowing was made
on B. frondosa and also on B. connata June 24, both showing a
good devedopment of pycnia July i, and aecia July 6.

Jan. 1908] Cultures of Utedineae iti igoy 21

The telial stage is common and well known throughout
the United States and extending into Mexico, but the aecial
stage has rarely been collected. Collections of aecia are in the
writer's harbarium from Nebraska and Wisconsin, and in the
literature one is also recorded from Illinois. On the basis of a
single collection on Bidens frondosa Professor Burrill separated
it as a special form, and De Toni, in the seventh volume of
Saccardo's Sylloge, supplied the name Aecidium compositarum
var. Bidentis Burrill.

4. PucciNiA on Carex stenophylla. — Teliosporic ma-
terial of this rust collected at Boulder, Colo., by the writer, was
sown on Solidago Canadensis and Baptisia leucantha, with no in-
fection.

It was at this point in the work that a brief note of observa-
tion was seen in Dr. W. Tranzschel's second report on "Bei-
trage zur Biologic der Uredineen." This is a translation in full:
"In July, 1900, I found in Turkestan, near Irkeschtam on the
Chinese border, the Aecidium Dracunciili Thiim. on Artemisia
Dracuncuhis in great abundance. Associated with the affected
Artemisia grew Carex stenophylla Wahlb., on which was found
iiredosori." Accepting this as a hint, the Colorado material was
now sown on Artemisia dracunculoide-s. As no potted plant was
available, a sowing was made in the open, giving no infection, and
another in the greenhouse on a cutting placed in water. The lat-
ter attempt gave very abundant and unequivocal results. The
sowing was made May 31, and pycnia appeared June 6, followed
by aecia June 15, both numerous and finely developed.

The type collection of this Aecidium was made in Siberia,
at Minussinsk, also on the Chinese border, but about a thousand
miles northeast of the locality where it was found by Dr. Tranz-
schel. This collection was distributed in Thuemen's Mycotheca
Universalis, No. 1223. A collection of aecia on Artemisia
dracnncidoides from Nebraska was distributed in Ellis & Ever-
hart's Fungi Columbiani. No 1664. A careful comparison shows
no apparent difference between the Asian and American col-
lections, and the two are accepted as the same species.

As a name and description seem to be demanded for this
species, the following are submitted :

Puccinia universalis nom. nov. (Aecidium Dracunculi
Thuem., not Puccinia Dracunculi Auers.)

0. Pycnia chiefly epiphyllous, numerous in orbicular groups, punc-
tiform, honey-yellow, rather inconspicuous; subepidermal, slightly de-
pressed-globose, 100-160 M broad by 90-112 M hi^h ; ostiolar filaments 40-
80 M long.

1. Aecia chiefly hypophyllous, crowded in orbicular groups opposite
the pvcnia, 1-3 mm. across, peridia cylindrical, 0.5 mm. high, margin
usually erect, erose, peridial cells rhomboidal, 20-30 M long, overlapping,

inner wall medium thick, 3-4 /^, verrucose, outer wall thicker, 5-9 m,
smooth, striate; aeciospores globoid, small, 12-18 by 15-21 m; wall very
thin, 0.5-1/", nearly colorless, very minutely granular.

On Artemisia dracunculoides Pursh, Colorado, Nebraska; A. Cana-
densis Michx., Iowa, Nebraska; A. frigidia Willd., Montana; A. kansana
Britt., Nebraska. Type on A. Draciinculus L., Western Siberia.

II. Uredinia epiphyllous, scattered, oblong, 0.2-0.5 mm. long, rather
early naked, cinnamon-brown, ruptured epidermis conspicuous ; uredinio-
spores broadly ellipsoid, 15-19 by 20-26 m, wall cinnamon brown, 1-1.5 M
thick, rather finely echinulate, pores 2, equatorial.

III. Telia epiphyllous, scattered, roundish or oblong, 0.1-0..3 mm.
wide by 0.2-1.2 mm. long, early naked, pulvinate, ruptured epidermis
noticeable; teliospores clavate-oblong, 16-26 by 35-52 m, wall dark chest-
nut-brown, lighter and about 1.5-2 m thick below, thicker above, 7-12 M,
smooth ; pedicel tinted, one-half length of spore, or more.

On Carcx stenophytla V.'ahl., Colorado, Nebraska, Montana.

5. PucciNiA on Carex longirostris. — Field observations
by Dr. E. W. Olive, and material furnished by him, including
aecia host plants, supplied the entire basis for the result reported
under this number.

Teliospores from Carex longirostris Torr. were sown June
4 on Aster paniculatns, Erigeron aniuins, Solidago Canadensis,
Ribes Cynosbati, and Phryma leptostachya, with no infection,
except on Phryma, which showed pycnia June 10 in great
abundance, and aecia June 15. The development was excep-
tionally strong and characteristic.

No rust has heretofore been reported on this species of
Carex. The aecial stage was first collected at Spirit Lake. Iowa,
by Dr. B. D. Halsted, in 1886. and has since been reported from
Minnesota and Nebraska, and found by Dr. Olive this season
at Madison, Wis. A description of the species in its several
spore-stages is appended :

Puccinia Phrymae (Halst.) nom. no v. (Aecidium Phry-
mae Halst., Jour. Myc. 2:52. 1886.)

0. Pycnia amphigenous, few, crowded in small groups, inconspicu-
ous, honey-yellow, becoming blackish-brown, slightly flattened globoid,
77-110 M in diameter by 65-80 m high; ostiolar filaments 40-50 ytt long.

1. Aecia hypophyllous, gregarious, in lari^e open groups on dis-
colored spots 4-10 mm. across, very short, 0.2-0.3 mm. in diamete*-, pale

II. Uredinia hypophyllous, scattered, round or oblong, early naked,
ruptured epidermis noticeable; urediniospores broadly ellipsoid, 15-18 by
18-20 M, wall cinnamon-brown, 1-1.5 M thick, finely and rather sparsely
echinulate, pores 2, in upper part.

III. Telia hypophyllous, scattered, round or oblong, 0.2-0.4 mm.
wide by 0.3-0.8 mm. long, early naked, dark chocolate-brown, pulvinate,
ruptured epidermis noticeable; teliospores clavate-oblong, 12-15 by 35-45 A*,
rounded or obtuse at apex, usually narrowed below, wall chestnut-brown,
concolorous, 1-1.5 m thick, much thicker, 9-13 m: pedicel about length
of spore or less, tinted.

On Carex longirostris Torr., Wisconsin.

6. PucciNiA MUTABiLis ElHs & Gall. — While collecting for
a few days in Colorado about the first of May, wintered-over
teliospores were found on a number of species of Allium, in
most cases not accurately determined for want of the inflores-
cence. In a few cases young leaves of the season showed freshly
formed uredinia, and in one instance immature telia were ob.-
served beside the uredinia, evidently arising from the same
mycelium. A few very young aecia, well isolated from other
spore forms were also found. As it was clearly too early in the
season to have had aecia mature and reinfect the host, and in
this manner give rise to the uredinia, the question arose whether
the aecia did not belong to some heteroecious species, while the
uredinia and telia represented a species without aecia. Further
search in the field brought to light some leaves which without
question had remained alive over winter. In one case the dead
tip of such a leaf bore telia of last year's growth, and on the
adjoining green part of the leaf uredinia were forming. This
seemed to show that the early uredinia were derived from
wintered-over mycelium, but it left the question of the origin
of the aecia unsolved.

Teliosporic material on what was believed to be Allium
reticulatuui Fraser, was obtained by the writer at Eldorado
Springs, Colo., and sown on Alliuui recurvatum Rydb., May i8,
giving rise to pycnia June 3, and aecia June 7. The life cycle
of the rust with all spore forms is therefore established, although
it is clearly possible in exceptional cases for the mycelium to be
carried over the winter in leaves that retain their vitality and thus
start the rust in the spring at the uredinial stage.

7. Gymnosporangium betheli Kern. — Teliosporic ma-
terial or Jimiperus scopulorum Sarg., obtained at Boulder,
Colo., by Mr. F. D. Kern, was sown on Crataegus sp. (re-
ceived from the Arnold Arboretum) April 30, showing pycenia
May 8, and aecia June 5, the aecia being fully matured by June
17. Another sov.-ing was made on Crataegus coccinea May 15,
showing pycnia May 21, and aecia June 24. Another sowing
on Crataegus punctata Alay 15, gave pycnia May 21, but the
leaves withered before aecia had formed. Another sowing on
Sorhus Americana May 21, gave rise to numerous pycnia May
29, and an equal abundance of well formed aecia July 25.

24 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 14

Similar material obtained at Wolcott, about one hundred
miles west of Boulder, was sown on Crataegus cordata (Mill.)
Ait. May 5. on a tree out of doors, giving rise to pycnia May 17,
and aecia July i. Another sowing on Sorbus Americana May 15,
gave a large number of pycnia May 24, and aecia well formed
July 25. A sowing on Amclanchier erecta gave no infection.

All the foregoing sowings were on the leaves. The ample
success attained admits of no question that the aecia, recently
described under the name Roestelia Betheli Kern, do in fact belong
to the large gall form of cedar rust, as suggested by ^Ir. E.
BetheP"* from field observations.

8. Gymnosporangium inconspicuum Kern. — Telios-
poric material on Juniperns Utahc-nsis (Engelm.) Lemmon,
obtained from the type locality at Glenwood Springs. Colo., by
Mr. F. D. Kern and the writer, was sown on the leaves of Cra-
taegus sp., Amelanchier Canadensis, and Pyrus communis, with
no infection. It was afterward sown on fruit of Amelanchier
erecta May 10, which gave rise to abundance of pycnia May 24,
and aecia June 15, the aecia being mature by June 19. The
affected areas of the fruit became somewhat swollen, and of a
yellowish white color, making them conspicuous. The aecia
prove to be identical with Roestelia Harkncssianoides Kern, and
thus confirm the inference drawn from fiield observations.^*. It
is an interesting fact that while the telia of this species of rust
are very evanescent, the aecia persist and may be found on mum-
mified fruits the year following infection, so that it is likely to
become common in herbaria.

Kem, Frank Dunn.

Some interesting species are described in the September No.
of the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club (1907) under the
title of "New western Species of Gymnosporiangium and Roes-
telia," the same being Gymnosporangium betheli n. sp. ("without
doubt the most injurious to the cedars of all the species") ; Gym-
nosporangium durum n. sp. (produces "a very regular, nearly
globose, hard, woody gall") ; Gymnosporangium inconspicuum
n .sp. ("a very inconspicuous species; the small pulvinate sori
breaking forth between the leaves soon become gelatinized and
form a film over the surface of the leaves"). The Roesteliae are
R. betheli n. sp., R. harknessiana Ellis & Ev. n. sp.. and R. Hark-
nessianoides n. sp.

Whetsel, H. H.

A lecture on "Some Bacterial Diseases 0/ Plants: Their Na-
ture and Treatment," delivered before the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society [published in the Transactions for 1907], with
stereoptican illustrations, classifies the diseases as Blights (Fire
Blight of Pears, etc., Mulberry Blight, Walnut Bacteriosis, Al-
falfa Blight, Bean BHght), Rots (Black Rot of Cabbage, etc.,
Soft Rot of Turnips, etc.), IVilts (of Cucumbers, squashes, and
melons, of potatoes, tomatoes and egg plant ,of Sweet corn, of
Tobacco j. Galls (of Olive and Oleander, and root galls or nod-
ules of Legumes). The annual history of the Fire Blight is fully
given ; the fact is emphasized that the blight bacteria are never
carried by the wind and they do not exist in the soil ; the milky
drops of a sticky fluid oozing from diseased tissues transported
by flies and other insects explains the inoculation of the host
plants.

Saccardo, P. A.

We find in Boletin de Sociedade Broteriana, XXI, 1894-5,
forty species enumerated under the title "Fungi aliquot Africani
lecti CI. A. Moller, Is. Newton et A. Sarmento, auctore P. A.

pages devoted to Fungi, Parasites, and Saprophytes.

Shear, C L.

Bulletin No. no. Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Dept.
Agr., is devoted to the "Cranberry Diseases.'' Special attention
is given to Guignardia vaccinii Shear (blast and scald) ; Acan-
thorhynchus vaccinii Shear (rot) ; Glomerella rufomaculans
vaccinii Shear (anthracnose) ; Exobasidium oxycocci Rostr.
(hyperthrophy) ; a large number of less important diseases are
given, fungi which attack the fruit, and the leaves or stems.
Preventive and remedial measures are included, also a bibliogra-
phy of cranberry diseases. There are seven full page illustrative
plates, the first a colored frontispiece showing Cranberry Scald.
The American Cranberry has been in cultivation seventy-five
years or more and is attacked by many fungous enemies ; how-
ever, only five species have been reported on the wild plant in
its native habitat.

Lawrence, V/. H.

Bulletin 66, Washington State Experiment Station, is de-
voted to "Blackspot Canker ;" studies, observations, and experi-
ments, with thirteen pages of illustrations. The fungus has been
described by Peck as Macrophoma curvispora, and by Cordley as
Gloeosporium malicorticis. "Neither of the descriptions agree
closely with the fungus observed in these investigations."

Smith, G. D.

Mr. Smith sends out a printed list of one hundred "Mush-
rooms and Toadstools" which he offers (at reasonable prices)
in both stereographs and lantern slides. "They will be in natural
colors and can be used to a very great advantage in school work
as well as for a general study of the subject." We have seen
many of the photographs and can say that they are admirable.
Mr. Smith's address is 450 Spicer Street, Akron, Ohio.

Arthur, J. C.

In the Journal of Mycology, September 1907, Dr. Arthur
makes his seventh report, "Cultures of Uredineae in 1906." He
calls especial attention to the experimentally unravelled life his-
tory of the Rust which inhabits flax, remarking of this study of
the serious menace to successful flax growing that "it greatly
clarifies the problem of controlling the flax rust in the interest
of the cultivator." Of selected materials after tests, 48 collections
were available belonging to three species of Rusts, exclusive of
the aecial pine rusts, and from these 223 sowings were made.
Also 53 sowings were made with Caeoma and Peridermium
spores from pine, all without infection, 27 sowings with telio-
spores of Gymnosporangium, and 23 sowings with various aeci-
spores. That is, 324 sowings were made, and 134 species grown
temporarily in the greenhouse were used as hosts. The tabulation
of negative results, and repetitions of previous work is extended
— and in that connection a new species is described, namely
Uromyces effusus. We take space to reproduce the summary
for species here reported for the first time: i. Melampsora
LiNi (Link) Desmaz. — Teliospores on Linum. usUatissimum L,.
sown on L. Lervisii Pursh and L.usitatissinium L. 2. Uromyces

Maire, Rene,

We find the interesting first fascicule of "Etude des
Champignons recoltes en Asie Mineure" in the Bulletin de la
Societe des Sciences de Nancy, 1906. Some of our commonest
species flourish in the Orient, as Cystopus candidus, Erysiphe
polygoni, Phyllactinia corylea, Sphacelotheca reiliana, Puccinia
menthae, etc. Several new species are described, also a new
genus of Hysteriaceae, namely, Hadotia. The author says ce
genre correspond exactment, parmi les Hysteriacees scoleco-
sporees, aux genres Hysterium, Hysterographium, Glonium, etc.,
des autres tribus. It should be noticed also that the author
transfers Physoderma asphodeli Vestergren (Cladochytrium
asphodeli Debray) and Cladochytrium urgineae Pat. et Trab.
(Physioderma debeauxii Bubak, Entyloma debeauxii Bubak) to
the genus Urophlyctis.

Fink, Bruce.

In "Further Notes on Cladonias, IX," two species very
closely related are fully discussed, namely, CI. squamosa and CI.

Atkinson, Geo. F., and Edgerton, C. W.

These authors describe a new genus and new species, "under
the head of "Protocoronospora, a new Genus of Fungi" in the
September No. of the Journal of Mycology. Professor Atkinson
found this disease on the cultivated vetch — first discovered on
the stems and pods from a small patch of vetch on the horti-
cultural grounds of Cornell University and later collected on vetch
in the fields on the University farm where it seems to be abundant
and a serious pest, often being associated with an Ascochyta.
In structure this new fungus is said to resemble that of species
of Corticium. The new species is named Protocoronospora
nigrans by the authors.

Sturgis, W. C.

In the Colorado Publication, General Series No. 30, Sept.
1907, we find "The Myxomycetes of Colorado," including a
General account of the Group, Key to the Orders and Genera,
and an enumeration of the known Colorado species with critical
notes, distribution, etc. A new variety of Didymium squamu-
losum (var. clai'iforme) is proposed, also one of Spumaria alba
(var. solida) ; and a new species, Physarum testaceum. Coma-
tricha suksdorfii Ell. & Ev. and C. aequalis Peck are reduced to
the rank of varieties under C. nigra. Almost 100 species and
varieties are here reported as belonging to the flora of Colorado.

Jennings, O. E.

A detailed account is given of "A case of poisoning by
Amanita phalloides," in the Journal of Mycology, September,
1907. One person lost his life and others were seriously
poisoned.

Davis, J. J.

A description is given by Dr. Davis of "A new species of
protomyces," namely, P. gravidus, on Bidens cernua and Bidens
connata, sparingly on Bidens frondosa, Wisconsin, July to No-
vember. See Journal of Mycolog>% September, 1907.

Wilson, Guy West.

In the September No. of the Journal of Mycology may be
found "An historical Review of the proposed Genera of Phy-
comycetes, I, Peronosporales ;" the genera being arranged
chronologically, with the type species, the synonyms, the
homonyms, and other information. Those listed as tenable in
this order are : Albugo, Basidophora, Bremia. Chlorospora,
Kawakamia, Peronospora, Phleophythora, Phytophthora, Plas-
mopara, Pseudoperonospora, and Sclerospora.

Smith, Erwin F.

Dr. Smith takes issue with Howard S. Reed in statements
relative to "The Parasitism of Neocosmospora" — this title used
by both authors in articles in Science. "Inference versus fact,"
is the key to the situation — /. e. many inferences in the first
article are declared by Dr. Smith to be unwarranted, for example,
that the ginseng-fungus belongs to the genus Neocosmospora;
that the ginseng-fungus and the watermelon-fungus (first de-
scribed by Dr. Smith as Fusarium niveum) are identical; that
the watermelon-fungus can enter the plant only when a way has
been opened for it by other fungi, e. g., by Thielavia. etc. Be-
sides the discussion and criticism, some experiments are reported
indicating that the ginseng-fungus and watermelon-fungus be-
have differently and are probably identical organisms.

Rick, J.

An important paper, "Contributio ad monographium Agari-
cacearum et Polyporacearum Brasiliensium," is published by Dr.
J. Rick, in Volume VI, 1907, II part. Series Botanica, of
Broteria. Tliis is based on prolonged exploration and study in
that region, and the installment in question contains 186 species,
10 of which are described as new. Many in the list enumerated
are cosmopolitan — a further illustration and justification of the
view of Lloyd and Bresadola as to wide distribution of most
species.

A very thorough study of the "Fungus Maladies of the Sugar
Cane, as occurring in Hawaii," is given by Mr. Cobb as Bulletin
5, Division of Pathology and Physiology, Experiment Station of
the Hawaiian Sugar Planter's Association, 1906. The diseases
are as follows: Root Disease [Ithyphallus coralloides n. sp.],
Leaf-splitting Blight [Mycosphaerella striatiformans n. sp.]. Rind
Disease, Pineapple Disease [Thielaviopsis ethaceticus Went.],
Eleau [possibly caused by insects preceding a fungus]. The fol-
lowing also is described : MarasmJus sacchari Hawaiiensis Cobb
n. var. There are seven fine plates. The text is on good glazed
paper.

Fetch, T.

There is a brief but excellent summary by Hasselbring in the
September Botanical Gazette, 1907, of "Fungi in termite nests,"
as given by the above author in Ann. Roy. Bot. Gar. Paradeniya.
"The only form on the normal comb is a hyphomycete which was
not determined, but from the descriptions seems to be like Ster-
igmatocystis. This fungus seems to be endemic in the nests, not
found outside them. When the combs grow old they give rise
to two forms of agarics, which, however, the author regards as
one species (Volvaria eurhiza). A third form in the fresh ter-
mite comb is Xylaria nigripes. . . . All the forms described
are eaten by the termites. When an inhabited comb is enclosed
under a bell-jar the termites eat off the heads of the hyphomycete
and also the Xylaria as it develops. They also eat the stalks of
the agarics following them to the surface of the ground. It is
probable, therefore, that the fungi of the termite nests form food
for the inhabitants, as do the "fungus gardens" for the leaf-cutting
ants."

McAlpine, D.

The Department of Agriculture, Victoria, issued in 1906 a
splendid book on "The Rusts of Australia, their Structure, Nature
and Classification," by D. McAlpine. The first 75 pages are de-
voted to the general characters and mode of life and the remainder
of the book (pp. jy-ZAl) is occupied with the classification and
technical descriptions. Bibliography, Glossary, Descriptions of
Plates and Indexes. There are 54 full-page plates — the first ten
natural in size and color and nearly all of the others micro-
photographs of spores x 250. The descriptions are admirable — •
full and conveniently paragraphed. This book has been critically
and appreciatively commented upon by Dr. Arthur in previous
pages of this Journal.

Whetzel, H. H.

Bulletin 236, February, 1906, Cornell University Experiment
Station, is an important contribution to the subject of "Blight
Canker of Apple trees." The term "Canker" is applied to dis-
eases which cause the death of definite areas of bark on the limbs
and bodies of trees. The diseased areas maybe smooth and sunken
or enlarged or roughened. The distinct canker diseases of apple
trees which have been described in pathological literature are as

42 Jour 7ial of Mycology [Vol. 14

follows: European canker (Nectria ditissima Tul.) ; New York
Apple-tree Canker (Sphaeropsis malorum Pk.) ; Black Spot Can-
ker (Gloeosporium malicorticis Cordley) ; Illinois Apple-tree
Canker (Nummularia discreta Tul.) ; Bitter rot Canker (Glomer-
ella rufomaculans (Berk.) Spal. & v. Schar. ( ; and Blight Canker
of Apple-trees (Bacillus amylovorus (Burr.) de Toni). It is
to the last of these that Mr. Whetzel's illustrated Bulletin is
specially devoted.

Smith, Clayton O.

The Leaf-spot on Cucurbits [Sphaerella citrullina (Chester)
Smith]. A Leaf-spot disease of Egg-plant (Ascochyta lycopersici
Brun.), and Leaf-spot on Bean and Cowpeas (Phyllosticta phase-
olina Sacc.) are included in the "Study of the Diseases of some
Truck Crops in Delaware." The perfect stage of Phyllosticta
citrullina Chester (transferred to Ascochyta citrullina) was ob-
tained by cultures, namely, Sphaerella as given above.

Berger, E. W.

Aschersonia aleyrodes, Aschersonia favo-citrina. and the
Brown Fungus are those alluded to and recommended under the
heading "Whitefly conditions in 1906 — the use of the Fungi,"
in Bulletin No. 88, Florida Agricultural Experiment Station,
January 1907. Spraying for Scale would kill these fungi service-
able for reducing the Whitefly. It is suggested that to reduce the
scale, fungi may be introduced, namely, the Red Headed Scale
Fungus (Sphaerostilbe coccophila), the Gray Headed Scale Fun-
gus (Ophionectria coccicola), and the Black Scale fungus (My-
rangium duryii).

Edgerton, C. W.

The conclusions of "The Rate and Period of Growth of
Polyporus lucidus." Torreya, Vol. 7, No. 5, May 1907, are: (i)
Polyporus lucidus is a fast growing member of the Polyporaceae,
growth averaging about one-half centimeter per day for the grow-
ing period; (2) Growth is exogenous, taking place entirely at
the edge of the plant and continuing as long as conditions are
favorable; (5) The change in the development from stalk to pil-
eus is a gradual process; (4) The average lateral growth is but
slightly more than the terminal growth.

This Report of Mr. Stockdale, Mycologist attached to the
Imperial Department of Agriculture for the West Indies, printed
in the Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information, Botanical Depart-
ment, Trinidad, October 1907, deals with three diseases of the
Cocoa-nut Palm, called Root-disease, Leaf-disease, and the Bud-
rot. The first named is the most serious, caused apparently by a
Botrydiplodia. The Leaf-disease is caused by a Pestalpzzia, pos-
sibly P. palmarum Cke. — yellowish spots on the leaflets especially
near the tips.

EDITOR'S NOTES.

"Personally I see no good reason for capitalizing- any specific
names, and my preference is decidedly in favor of following the
practice of the zoologists" — an opinion expressed by a scientific
writer which it is desirable to commend and heed. The zoolo-
gists as early as 1842 declared that "Specific names should
always be written with a small letter even when derived from
persons or places, and generic names should always be written
with a capital." This custom has not changed; never was Sifta
cauadcjisis used in any other way, nor Psaltriparus lloydi, Turdus
aliciae bicknelli. Corvus americana, Papilio bairdi. Aphis brassicae,
or the balance of them. So written they are satisfactory for
every purpose and from every point of view. But the botanical
mind is at times apparently unstable ; witness the following taken
from a Catalogue : Verbesina Virginica, Commelina znrginica,
Lyciuni J'ltlgare, Eleocharis Mutata, etc. The reasons for in-
variably decapitalizing specific names — adjectives they are, or if
nouns adjecteval in significance — are ample in our opinion, but
it would be of little avail to bring them forward again. It is
"taste." mere custom j>erhaps, that carries the day for some peo-
ple. But "tastes" differ ; in our opinion the name Tylostoma
lloydii "looks" quite as well as sayi or batesii — and if Tylostoma
Iloydii would perchance give offense to the mycologist honored,
then it would seem a botanical name is after all not looked upon
as something very impersonal.

Thirteen Parts of the Index to North American Mycology
have now been issued — covering a period of seven vears. This
work has received cordial approval from many mycologists and
a goodly number is found on the mailing list. It has been de-
cided to extend the scope, and hereafter the area covered will

WILLIAM ASHBROOK KELLERMAN.

When the January number of the Journal of Mycology was
issued, no one had the remotest idea that the succeeding number
would record the death of its founder, editor and publisher.
Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky came the cablegram from
Zacapa, Guatemala, announcing the death of William Ashbrook
Kellerman, March the eighth.

On December 17th Dr. Kellerman accompanied by three stu-
dents from the Ohio State University, started on his fourth
scientific expedition to Guatemala.

The previous journeys he had made to this country had
been so successful, and so enjoyable from every point of view,
that it was with the keenest delight and most pleasureable antici-
pations that the party set out in quest of the interesting Guate-
malan flora. Frequent letters home gave emphatic assurance
that their expectations were more than realized. Nature was
genial, kind, and seemed to have given to them the key to her
treasures ; good health and good spirits, was the constant theme
for self-congratulation.

The trip was practically completed and the material which

had been collected was packed ready for shipment to the United

States. Ohe more little journey up a mountain near Los

Amates was undertaken, and it was here, on the top of the

mountain, where what had been considered but a slight indis-

t)osition, began to develop into unmistakable fever. But so

^ager and enthusiastic in the work of collecting was Dr. Keller-

2?man that he tried to ignore his increasing indisposition and in-

--^isted upon continuing some twelve miles further to the village

ac

of Izabal, the goal they had set. They broke up camp and started
for Izabal, but ater having gone about three miles, were forced
to return and make preparations for going down the mountain.
After a night's rest the descent was undertaken. Dr. Keller-
man was able to dress himself and walk to where his mule was
waiting. Los Amates was reached about five o'clock in the
afternoon. Here they stayed all night and took the train
for Zacapa, the following day. They went at once to a hotel ;
Dr. Kellerman went to bed, and a physician was called.

The next morning, Sunday, March the eighth, he seemed in
good spirits, and at noon laughed and joked about the good
dinner he was to have; ate a reasonable amount, rested fairly
well through the afternoon and near five o'clock asked for toast
and tea, and said he thought he could go to sleep — about mid-
night he passed unconsciously from that sleep into the mystery
of death.

One of the young men with Dr. Kellerman on the trip said,
'T think it was utter exhaustion and lack of sleep as much as
malaria that caused his death. He would get up some morn-
ings at three o'clock and begin work. He certainly was fine to
us, and would almost daily ask for suggestions regarding the
next year's trip and the necessary equipment. Only the other
night he was telling us he didn't see why he was not good for
twenty years yet, and discussed his plans for writing a book
on Guatemalan plants, which he hoped soon to publish. He
had more grit than any man I ever knew."

While no accurate statement can as yet be made as to the
amount of material collected, specimens representing over
one thousand species were brought back from this last ill-fated
trip. Every one of them had been collected with a thrill of joy;
for if ever anyone had joy in his work, that one was Dr. Keller-
man. And, in Guatemala there seemed to be a fascination
which took entire possession of body and soul. He deemed the
climate elysian ; the country a paradise, and while collecting
there, his happiness was supreme.

The members of his family have traveled widely, and it
had long been understood among them that if death should
come to anyone while far from home, the burial should be at
the place of death. Dr. Kellerman was therefore buried at
Zapaca, and there, in the country he so loved his body rests.

Wiliam Ashbrook Kellerman was born at Ashville, Ohio,
May 1st, 1850. In 1874 he graduated from Cornell University.
He was married in July, 1876, to Stella V. Dennis, who was in
complete sympathy with his scientific career and who aided him
in the preparation of some of his most important books and
papers. After teaching five years in the State Normal School
at Oshkosh, Wis., he spent two years studying in Europe and
received the degree of Ph. D. in Zurich. Upon his return to

April 1908] William Ashbrook Kellerman 51

the United States, he was elected Professor of Botany in the
State Agricultural College at Lexington, Kentucky. Later he
accepted a similiar position in the Kansas State Agricultural
College, where he remained seven years. During four years of
this time he was Kansas State Botanist. In 1891 he came to
the Ohio State University as Professor of Botany, which posi-
tion he held up to the time of his death.

Every moment of time which was not consumed in regular
class and laboratory work, was devoted to collecting material for
herbaria, so that wherever he was located he built up a con-
siderable memorial in the shape of either newly inaugurated
or largely increased herbaria. Noteworthy among these are
the Kansas State herbarium at the Kansas Agricultural College
and the Ohio State herbarium at the Ohio State University,
which is so complete that the distribution of the flora of Ohio
may be determined with considerable accuracy by simply con-
sulting the index to this herbarium. His own private herbarium
of flowerng plants numbers 30,000, and his herbarium of para-
sitic fungi is second to none in the country.

His "Ohio Fungi Exsiccati" is an unusually fine series of
herbarium specimens which were distributed to the leading herb-
aria of Europe and America. He had also begun the distribu-
tion of Guatemalan species, the first decade of which appeared
in November, 1906, under the name "Fungi Selecti Guate-
malenses."

Numerous new species have been described by him. and a
genus and various species have been named in his honor* which
will in the future mutely testify to the high esteem in which he
was held by his fellow botanists.

For the World's Fair in Chicago, in 1893, ^^- Kellerman
prepared the Forestry Exhibit of the State of Ohio representing
every tree indigenous to the state. The exhibit showed twigs,
leaves, flowers, fruit, cross-section of trunk, lengthwise section,
split surface, and bark.

For this collection he was awarded a Columbian Exposition
medal and diploma. The work of preparation was done for
the love of it and upon condition that, after the close of the
exposition the entire exhibit should become the property of the
Ohio State University. He, himself, felled many of the trees.

* The names given by botanists complimentary to his work are as
follows :

Kellermannia, a genus of Sphaeropsideous fungi.

Aecidium Kellermannii. Cercospora Kellermani.

Plasmopora Kellermannii. Helianthus Kellermani.

Rosellinia Kellermannii. Galera Kellermani.

Rhabdospora Kellermannii. Leptothyrium Kellermani.

Diaporthe Kellermanniana. Phy,salospora Kellermanii.
Physcomitrium Kellermani.

52 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 14

This work was a sample of the recreation which filled all his
vacations. In the ordinary understanding of the meaning of a
vacation, he never had one — for vacation was a time for unin-
terrupted work.

The Journal of Mycology was inaugurated in 1885 by Dr.
Kellerman, J. B. Ellis and B. M. Everhart, Dr. Kellerman tak-
ing the initiative, and the responsibility of publication. The
Journal was published four years under this arrangement, and
was then discontinued because of the expense involved. The
Division of Pathology, United States Department of Agricul-
ture, took up the work and issued three volumes during 1889-94.

In 1902 Dr. Kellerman again undertook the work of publish-
ing and editing the Journal, this time assuming the entire re-
sponsibility himself. In 1902-3 it was issued quarterly; from
that time up to the present it has been bi-monthly. Mycologists
need not be told that it required an inexhaustible amount of
energy and zeal to carry on this work, but even the drudgery of
proof-reading and tlie mechanical work of publishing the Journal
were not deemed drudgery by this tireless worker, who found so
much pleasure in every phase of his work.

In the words of one of his students, — "One would be in-
clined to believe that he would become consumed of his own
zeal, so relentless and persevering was he in the performance
of his duties, and so great was his capacity in the accomplish-
ment of what he planned to do."

This seems especially apropos, when we consider that
notwithstanding the pressure of his varied work, he began in
1903 the publication of a Mycological Bulletin, which has been
issued monthly since its inauguration.

In spite of his rare zeal as a collector, it was as a teacher
that he believed he was doing his best work. He watched the
progress of his studetlts with the keenest interest and always
manifested genuine pleasure in their success and promotion.

No effort was two great for him to make in guiding and
helping students who showed a desire for assistance, and no
time was ever considered lost that was spent in giving advice and
suggestions to even the most elementary students. Such disin-
terested enthusiasm had its results, and the list of American
botanists who at the present day attribute their start in botanical
work to his influence is a long one. Nor was it for the stu-
dent alone that he thought and planned and worked. His col-
leagues of humbler rank, the teachers in the public schools,
found him ever ready and eager to discuss their work and give
advice and suggestion. Even to the farmer in the field he was
an inspiration, in proof of which the following quotation from a
recent letter is given :

"As a mycologist, I am what T am because there was a Dr.
W. A. Kellerman. July i6th, 1885, I was plowing like Cin-

April 1908] Publications of Wm. Ashbrook Kellerman 53

cinnatus of old, in the field on my farm, when the Doctor's life
and mine touched. While standing by the plow in conversa-
tion, he stooped to a plant (Amarantus retroflexus), plucked off
a leaf, turned it over, and with the turning over of that leaf,
came the turning point in my life! The leaf contained well-
developed pustules of a parasitic fungus. My first mycological
work as collector is noted in the Journal of Mycology, 1888,
pages 26-29."

The loss of such a man, upright in character, possessed of
lofty ideals, and an enthusiasm which was an inspiration to all
with whom he came in contact, will be felt not only by his stu-
dents, but by botanists the world over.
