XXII. A CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE
OF THE FLORA OF SOUTHEASTERN
MINNESOTA.

W. A. WHEELER.

The work of the Minnesota Botanical Survey in southeastern
Minnesota during the summer of 1899 was carried on with two
main purposes in view: first, to collect and preserve plants in
formalin for museum and class use, and second, to collect
herbarium specimens of the higher seed plants. The work of
collection was begun June tst, and closed August 31st. The
catalogue of species is, therefore, very incomplete in its enu-
meration of the early spring and autumn plants.

District of collection.—The territory in which the collections
were made is in the extreme southeastern part of Minnesota,
comprising the valleys of Winnebago and Crooked creeks, and
the adjoining region near the Mississippi river. Nearly all of
this territory is included in an area about twelve miles square,
formed by the townships of Mayville and Crooked Creek, on
the north, and Winnebago and Jefferson on the south.

Physiography.—The topography of this part of Houston
county is not essentially different from that of most of the re-
gion south from Red Wing along the Mississippi river to the
southern boundary of Minnesota and into Iowa. There is no
part of it level or nearly so. It is almost entirely broken by
the valleys of the two creeks and their smaller tributaries. The
height above the sea level varies from 620 feet at the level of
the Mississippi river in the southeastern corner of Jefferson, to
1200 feet in the northwestern corner of Mayville. Crooked
creek, from the source of the north fork to its discharge into
Bluff slough, is about eleven miles in length. It drains about
65 square miles of territory. The south fork, a branch about
three miles long, lies entirely in Mayville. Winnebago creek
from the Big spring near its source, to its discharge into Min-

393

nesota slough, is about twelve miles in length. There are
three small branches, one of which has, within the last decade,
become considerably smaller than it formerly was, on account
of the drying up of several springs near its source. The
amount of water discharged from each of the two main creeks
during the summer months is probably not less than 1,500,000
cubic feet per day. Neither creek is very susceptible to
changes of season, but either one will rise very rapidly after a
sudden heavy rain-fall and return to its usual level in a few
hours.

The bluffs are high and steep, and not adapted to cultivation.
(Plates XXII. and XXVI.) However, many of the ridges are
cultivated and form some of the best farms in this part of the state.
The valleys being subject to overflow and the bluffs very steep,
by no means the entire area is adapted to cultivation. This
condition is very favorable for the collection of native plants.

The valleys are narrow, in no place exceeding a mile in
width from the brow of one bluff to the brow of the one op-
posite.

In taking a view of the ecological groups of the plants in-
habiting this region, the territory may, for convenience, be
divided into river valley, creek valleys and bluffs.

The river valley is so distinct from the creek vaileys that it is
almost imperative that it be considered separately. The bluffs
along the river vary somewhat from the other bluffs, but not
sufficiently to warrant a division into river bluff and creek
bluff.

fiver valley.—tin the river valley I include the area from the
foot of the bluffs on one side of the river, to the foot of the
bluffs on the opposite side, not including any tributaries. Along
this stretch of the river, from New Albin, Iowa, to Brownsville,
Minnesota, the valley varies from three to five miles in width.
The main channel of the river is from one-half a mile to a mile
wide. The remainder of the area between the bluffs is formed
of islands, sloughs and lakes during most of the year. (Plate
XXV.,B.) During the spring and early summer the whole area
is generally flooded so that collection can be carried on only dur-
ing the late summer and autumn. The river channel proper is
not a fruitful field for the collection of higher plants. The
sluggish sloughs, lakes and ponds, however, offer excellent
conditions for such collection.

Wheeler: FLORA OF SOUTHEASTERN MINNESOTA. 355

For consideration, the water plants of the river valley may be
classified into four main groups: plankton, attached submerged
aquatic, attached aquatic plants with natant leaves, and adaptive
shore plants.

PLANKTON.

The plants forming this group are those which are not at-
tached to any soil substratum, and so are rarely found in any of
the swift-flowing currents, but rather on the surface of protected
lakes and ponds and near the high banks of sloughs, where
they are protected from rapid currents of wind and water. The
plants comprising this group are:

Azolla caroliniana, Spirodela polyrhiza,
Ceratophyllum demersun, Utricularia vulgaris.
Lemna minor,

With them are often found plants of Sagzttarza and Pota-
mogeton which have been dislocated from their original position
on the soil. They seem to grow nearly as well and bloom
nearly as profusely as when attached. In this condition they
form part of the plankton, but as they are originally attached
and ordinarily remain so, I have not included them in the list
of plankton types.

One of the most beautiful and interesting plants of this group
is the small heterosporous fern, Azo//a caroliniana. In the
early part of the summer it is green or but slightly red in color
and only scattered plants or very small patches can be found.
In the later summer and autumn it covers large areas of water
with a deep red pure growth or mixed with the duckweeds. In
restricted areas it often grows so rapidly late in the summer that
it is pushed up from the surface of the water and forms ridges
and bunches above the water-level.

ATTACHED SUBMERGED AQUATIC PLANTS.

The floor of some of the very shallow ponds and sloughs is
covered with a growth of bassweeds and pondweeds that are en-
tirely immersed. This group contains but few species of the
higher plants. The species collected are:

Naias flexilts, Potamogeton pusillus,
Naias guadalupensis, Potamogeton zosteraefolius.

356 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

ATTACHED AQUATIC PLANTS WITH NATANT LEAVES.

Castalia tuberosa, Potamogeton lonchites,
LVelumbo lutea, Potamogeton natans,
Nymphaea advena, Sagittaria cuneata.

Nearly every one who has ever visited any of the lakes or
rivers of Minnesota is acquainted with at least one representa-
tive of this group, the white water-lily, Castalia tuberosa. 'This
with the Indian lotus, Velwméo lutea, and the yellow pond-lily,
Nymphea advena, all of which are members of the water-lily
family, are the most conspicuous and beautiful of our river
plants. They cover large areas of shallow water for sometimes
a mile or more in extent. It may be of interest to call attention
to the methods of adaptation of these plants to their aquatic
habitat. The white water-lily and the yellow pond-lily carry
their natant leaves on long flexible petioles which allow the
leaves to remain upon the surface for variations of several feet
in the height of the water. The Indian lotus, however, carries
the leaf-blades upon stiff strong petioles some of which are car-
ried up to the water surface and others are raised from one to
three feet above the water. (Plate XXV., A.) Incase the water
rises the natant leaves are destroyed but those that are raised
above the surface remain useful to the plant and may in this way
be caused to float. The projecting leaves are not conspicuously
modified in any way from those that were originally natant.

Both the Indian lotus and the white water-lily are abundant
in the sloughs of the Mississippi river at Jefferson. The yellow
pond-lily is not so abundant as either of the other two. The
Potamogetons with floating leaves may be found growing with
the water-lilies or in small patches scattered throughout the
sloughs. They never cover very large areas to the exclusion
of other plants.

ADAPTIVE SHORE PLANTS.

Alisma plantago-aquatica, Sagittaria latifolia,
Elleocharts acicularis, Sagittaria rigida,
Nelumbo lutea, Scirpus lacustris.

Polygonum emersum,

The plants living on the shores of the lakes and sloughs must
adapt themselves to life under the varying conditions in which
they may be placed by the rise and fall of the water. During

Wheeler: FLORA OF SOUTHEASTERN MINNESOTA. SDL

low stages they may be left out of the water entirely and when
the water is at its height most of them are nearly or quite sub-
merged. The plants adapting themselves to these conditions
might be considered as the Sagz/tarza group, for the two Sagzt-
tarias—latifolia and r7g7da—are the most abundant shore plants
with the possible exception of Eleocharis acicularis. Nelumbo
lutea may often be seen in times of very low water, grow-
ing on the muddy banks entirely emersed holding its leaves
erect two or three feet above the mud, while the Castaléa when
placed under these conditions lodges its leaves on the mud where
they soon die. Polygonum emersum covers many banks to the
exclusion of other vegetation. It is adapted to living on the
exposed mud or in the water but under the latter conditions it
always projects its leaf-bearing stems out of the water and keeps
the foliage leaves emersed.

WET MEADOWS OF THE RIVER VALLEY.

During a large part of the growing season the wet meadows
of the river bottoms are submerged. When they are exposed
for a sufficient length of time to become somewhat dry the
grasses are generally cut for hay. The plants living under
these conditions are mostly coarse grasses and sedges. No trees
but willows seem to be able to live upon these meadows and
they do not then attain tree size. Some of the plants forming
the vegetation of the wet meadows are:

Asclepias tncarnata, Scirpus atrovirens,
Cyperus esculentus, Scirpus cyperinus,
Eleocharis acicularts, Szum cicutacfolium,
Elymus virginicus, Sparganium eurycarpum,
Eragrostis hypnordes, Spartina cynosurotdes,
Eupatorium pur pureum, Vernonia fasciculata,
flomatlocenchrus virginicus, Zizania aquatica.

Penthorum sedotdes,

MupD-FLAT VEGETATION.

The mud-flat comprises the highest land of the islands. It is
flooded only during the early summer but on account of its
growth of timber and shrubs the soil remains wet during the
entire year. The largest trees growing anywhere in this region
are found on the mud-flats of the Mississippi river.

3908 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

The plants which form large trees on the islands are:

Acer saccharinum, Populus deltoides,
Betula nigra, Quercus platanordes,
Frraxinus lanceolata, Salix amygdaloides,
Fraxinus nigra, Olmus americana.

Gleditsia triacanthos,

The following species do not attain large size, but are either
scattered throughout as shrubs or small trees, or form a dense
low growth on some of the lower grounds of the mud flat.
(Plate XXY .; A.)

Cephalanthus occidentalis, Salix fluviatilis,
Cornus amonum, Salix nigra.

Three species of woody vines are common throughout the
islands. The Virginia creeper, Parthenocissus quinguefolia,
and wild grape, Vzt¢s vulpina, are abundant, covering and in
many cases killing large trees. The climbing poison ivy, /thus
radicans, is common throughout the most densely wooded parts.
It sometimes climbs to a height of twenty-five or thirty feet, and
develops a stem from two to three inches in diameter.

During the late summer and autumn the mud-flat throughout
is covered with a dense growth of coarse herbs most of which
are perennials.

The following herbaceous plants grow on the mud-flat.

Acnida tamariscina, Mimulus ringens,
Apocynum cannabinum, Onoclea senstbilis,

Arisema dracontiun, Polygonum hartwrighti,
Bidens comosa, Polygonum hydropiperoides,
Bidens frondosa, Polygonum incarnatum,
Bidens levis, Polygonum punctatum,
Cicuta bulbifera, Polygonum virginianum,
flelenium autumnale, Physalis philadelphica,
Ilysanthes gratioloides, Physostegia virginiana,
Lippia lanceolata, Ranunculus pennsylvanicus,
Lobelia cardinals, Scutellaria latertflora,
Lycopus americanus, Stachys palustris,

Lycopus lucidus, Stezronema ciliata,
Lycopus rubellus, Teucrium canadense,
Lycopus virginicus, Urtica gracilis,

Lythrum alatum, Urticastrum divaricatum.

Mentha canadensis,

Creek valleys.—The valleys of the creeks present an entirely
different aspect from the river valley. The creeks have their
own well-defined channels to which they hold almost the year
round. High waters never last for any great period of time.
Those which are caused by the melting of the snows in the
spring generally last from about noon to sun-down while those
which are supplied by the heavy June showers generally rise
and fall during the night or very early morning. The damage
done to vegetation is almost restricted to the floods of the sum-
mer months. They come in the season of most rapid growth
and destroy a large part of the season’s growth with which they
come in contact. The areas inundated by these floods are never
very extensive compared to those along the river. At most
points along the valleys the gradual rise of the land from the
creeks to the bluffs is sufficient to prevent the formation of
ponds and lakes by the rise of the water. The alluvial soils
deposited on the flats do not dry up until late in the summer and
so have very little growth besides coarse weeds. They are
often cultivated but there is always the danger of the crops
being destroyed by high water. Most of the best cultivated
fields in the valleys are on the table lands adjacent to the foot
of the bluffs. They are generally fertile, are protected from
high water and hard winds and are not in a position to wash to
any great extent. The steep banks on the north edges of the
table lands are generally wooded and bear the richest and
greatest variety of plants that can be found anywhere in this
region. The table lands are often very sharply marked off
from the creek bottoms and steep bluffs. Towards the heads of
the creeks the table lands disappear and there is a gradual rise
from the creeks to the bluffs.

The water vegetation of the creek valleys is almost entirely
limited to the cold water plants of the springs and small streams.
There are very few ponds or marshes to contain still water
forms.

The vegetation of the land may be divided into that of the
wet meadow, moist woods and mesophytic field. The wet mea-
dow is about on a level with the banks of the creeks. It never
becomes very dry and on the lower places shows some of the
characters of a marsh. The vegetation of the moist woods
is well shown on the wooded banks bordering the table lands.
Moist woods often cover some of the protected table lands and

extend for some distance up the narrow dark ravines. In places
where timber covers the flooded areas the vegetation is similar
to that of the mud flat on the islands near the river. The vege-
tation of the open table lands I have called mesophytic field.

CoLD SPRING VEGETATION.

The valleys of Winnebago and Crooked creeks have a great
many springs arising from the bases of the bluffs throughout
their whole length but perhaps more numerous at the heads of
the creeks than elsewhere. Some of the springs that outlet in
low level land occasionally form small cold bogs in which the
ordinary cold water plants find very favorable conditions for
growth. A large spring near the head of Clear creek, a short
branch of Crooked creek contains the greatest abundance of
typical cold water plants of any spring visited. The large
creeks do not contain much vegetation. The smaller creeks
often contain plants similar to those of the cold springs.

The plants characteristic of cold running water are:

Batrachium divaricatum, Mimulus gamesiz,
Batrachium trichophyllum, Philotria canadensis,
Berula erecta, Roripa nasturtium,
Cardamine bulbosa, Veronica americana.

Epilobiums—coloratum and adenocaulon—are often found
growing in cold spring water but are not peculiar to this local-
ity as they are also found growing in moist soil. None of the
spring plants can be called common to large areas, for the con-
ditions necessary for their growth are limited in extent.

POND VEGETATION.

There are but very few natural ponds along the creeks. The
ponds are generally artificial and as such present a variety of
conditions and a corresponding variety of plants. A small
natural pond in a bog near Crooked creek contains all it can
hold of the yellow pond-lily. (Plate XXVII., B.) This is the
only place in which any of the water-lily family were found
outside of the sloughs and lakes of the Mississippi river.

WET MEADOW VEGETATION OF THE CREEK VALLEYS.

The wet meadows naturally cover a very large part of the
creek valleys but under present conditions most of them are

Wheeler: FLORA OF SOUTHEASTERN MINNESOTA. 361

used for pasture, or where they can be easily drained for culti-
vation, though they are of course in constant danger of being
flooded. Under these conditions there are but few wet meadows
which have retained their original vegetation. Many of them
under continual pasturing have grown up to coarse weeds and
grasses. ‘The greatest variety of plants is found where the wet
meadow has been used asa hay meadow. This offers more
nearly the natural conditions for such plants as Lz/iwm cana-
dense (Plate XXVII., A). Habenaria leucophea, Pedicularis
lanceolata, Saxifraga pennsylvanica, Chelone glabra, Parnas-
sta caroliniana, Onoclea senstbilis and many others in the list.
The plants which grow in the wet meadows are:

Angelica atropurpurea, Lythrum alatum,

Aster nove-anglia, Macrocalyx nyctelea,
Aster prenanthoides, Mimulus ringens,

Aster puniceus, Onoclea senszbilis,

MoIsT Woops VEGETATION.

As previously stated the most typical moist woods vegetation
is to be found on the north banks of the table lands. The tim-
ber on the banks has much of it been left uncut and offers the
very best conditions for the survival of moist woods vegetation.
In the list of moist woods plants here given are included only
those collected or noted from a single location in Winnebago
valley. It is a bank about one-half a mile long bordering on
the table land for the greater part of its length. Some of the

plants listed do not seem to be typical moist woods plants and
in such cases they have probably been driven to the margin of
the thicket by the cultivation of the table land on one side and

MESOPHYTIC FIELD VEGETATION.

The mesophytic field vegetation as it exists in the creek valleys
to-day is almost entirely a result of cultivation. The table lands
which bear the plants of the mesophytic field were formerly al-
most entirely wooded. ‘To-day they are cleared of timber and
used for cultivation. They furnish the best fields for cultivation
in the whole district. They are not subject to the overflow of
the bottom lands, nor to the drought of the ridges, nor to the
washouts of the side-hills. Being so extensively cultivated the
plants growing upon them, which are not themselves cultivated,
are almost confined to the edges of fields and thickets. Under
such conditions a list of plants of this area would have no bear-
ing upon the natural ecological groups.

Bluffs.—The bluffs bordering the river differ from those
bordering creek valleys in being steeper and in having many
more precipitous cliffs. The brow of the bluff along the river
for almost the entire distance bordering the territory covered ex-
cept where interrupted by branch valleys or ravines is one al-
most perpendicular limestone cliff, varying from a few feet to a
hundred feet in height. Cliffs of this sort are not so common
back from the river. The vegetation of the river bluffs differs
to some extent from the creek bluffs in its character. Some
of the common forest trees of the lowland of the creek valleys,
instead of growing on the lowland of the river valley inhabit
the foot of the river bluff. The proximity of the river
bluff to larger areas of water seems to raise the moisture
content of the soil of the river bluff above that of the creek
bluff at the same height above water level. The growth
then of such a tree as the black walnut at the foot of the river
bluff does not show that it grows here under more arid conditions
than in the creek valley, but that the same conditions of moisture
in the soil are found at a higher level on the river bluff than on
the creek bluff.

On all bluffs the vegetation shows the greatest variation with
the direction of the slope. Those facing from south to west
and receiving the direct rays of the sun from noon to 4 P. M.
are generally bare of trees (Plate XXII., B) and shrubs while
those facing from north to east are generally thickly wooded
(Plate XXVI., B). Ravines with their greater amount of
moisture in the soil and greater protection from winds are

Wheeler: FLORA OF SOUTHEASTERN MINNESOTA. 365

generally wooded to some extent whatever the direction of the
slope (Plate XXII., A and B).

Near the heads of the creeks at the bases of the northern
slopes are many moist limestone cliffs with their characteristic
abundance of liverworts, mosses and ferns, sometimes almost to
the exclusion of the higher seed plants. The moist cliffs bear
more of the northern types of plants rare to this region than
any one other special area.

The zones of forest vegetation on the bluffs are often very
distinctly marked out by a few species. The oaks, 2. rubra,
2. macrocarpa and 2. coccinea extend from the valley to the
ridge of the bluff in varying degrees of abundance and thus
do not determine the zone. With these, however, are a few
species which are limited either to the base or ridge. The
aspen and a large-tooth poplar as primary and the ironwood,
juneberry and wild crab as secondary species mark out the basal
zone of forest and the white oak, white birch and shagbark
hickory in varying proportions mark out the ridge forest. Be-
tween the zone containing white birch on the ridge and that con-
taining the aspen at the base is a zone which is almost entirely
covered with dark-barked trees. Thus the zones are clearly
shown by the white bark of the white birch on the ridge and
that of the aspen below with the dark-barked trees between.

The vegetation areas of the bluffs may be considered as moist
cliffs, wooded slopes and ravines, ridge forests, bare slopes and
open ridges, and dry rocks. The plants of the moist cliffs are
hydrophytic; those of the wooded slopes and ravines which in-
clude a large part of the bluff area are mesophytic; the ridge
forests are xerophytic and the bare slope, open ridge and dry
rock plants which grow on the most exposed and dry areas in
this region are distinctly xerophytic.

MoIsT CLIFF VEGETATION.

This group of plants is one of the most interesting of this re-
gion. One is always on the lookout for rare plants to this part
of the state from the secluded and often almost inaccessible
moist cliff. The short list of plants given here might be said
to be almost peculiar to moist cliffs as they are rarely found
elsewhere. Others might be named that grow upon moist cliffs,
but which are more characteristic of moist woods.

Some of the plants characteristic of moist cliffs are:

VEGETATION OF WOODED SLOPES AND RAVINES.

This group of plants borders and perhaps encroaches upon
the moist woods of the valley upon the one hand and the ridge
forest upon the other. It covers a large area but does not repre-
sent the variety of species that are found in the moist woods of
the valley.

Some of the plants of the wooded slopes and ravines are

Asplenium acrostichozdes,
Ashplenium filix-femina,
Castilleja coccinea,
Cypripedium hirsutum,
Cypripedium spectabilis,
Cystopteris fragilis,
Epilobium coloratun,
Erechtites hieractfolia,
Eupatorium ageratotdes,
Falcata comosa,
Flieracium umbellatum,
Flieracium scabrum.,
flypericum maculata,
flypericum majus,

Lilium umbellatum,
Lobelia cordifolia,
Lobeha inflata,
Onoclea struthiopterts,
Osmunda claytoniana,
Panax quinguefolia,
Pedicularis canadensis,
Pol ‘ygonatum commutatum,
Pteris aguilina,

Rubus occidentalis,
Fubus villosus,

Szlene stellata,

Smilax herbacea,

Smilax hispida.

RIDGE FOREST VEGETATION.

Most of the woods upon the ridges are rather open and there-
fore present somewhat xerophytic conditions. The principal
forest trees of the ridges are those which have been previously
mentioned, 2. e., Betula papyrifera, Hicoria ovata, Quercus
alba and Quercus macrocarpa. Scattered trees of other kinds
are found on special areas. On the point of a bluff near the
village of Freeburg, several trees of Gymnocladus diotcus were
found in one of the most exposed locations that it could obtain.
This is a very unusual location for this tree. Prunus virginiana,
Juniperus virginiana, Tilia americana and Celtis occidentales
quite frequently grow near or on the rocky summits of the bluffs
but do not cover large areas.

Wheeler : FLORA OF SOUTHEASTERN MINNESOTA. 367

BARE SLOPE AND OPEN RIDGE VEGETATION.

The soil of the southern slope and open ridge is generally
largely formed of sand and broken limestone. It becomes very
dry early in the summer, and then appears almost bare of
vegetation except where it is broken by scattered junipers
(Plate XXI., A) or patches of Aehus glabra.

Some of the plants characteristic of the bare slope and open
ridge are:

Acerates viridifiora, Kuhnistera purpurea,
Asclepras verticillata, Lacinaria cylindracea,
Aster sericeus, Lactnarta scartosa,
Bouteloua curtipendula, Lappula lappula,
Bouteloua hirsuta, Linum sulcatum,
Coreopsis palmata, Lobelia spicata,
Cyperus filiculmis, Oxalis violacea,
Cyperus houghtoni, Polygala verticillata,
Cyperus schweinitzti, Polygonum tenue,
Draba caroliniana, Pulsatilla hirsuttssima,
Elymus canadensis, Ratibida columnarts,
Flelianthus occidentalis, Lehus glabra,
Euphorbia heterophylla, Lehus radicans,
Fflieracitum canadense, Szlene antirrhina,
Juniperus communes, Valertana edulis,
Juniperus sabina, Viola pedata,

Keleriva cristata, Viola pedatifida.

Kuhnistera candida,

DRY ROCK VEGETATION (Plate XXI., B).

The rock plants and sand plants do not in many places form
distinct groups. The sand of the bluffs nearly always contains
considerable broken limestone and thus furnishes conditions
favorable to the growth of limestone plants. Pel/ea atropur-
purea and Camptosorus rhizophyllus seem to be the only ones
that are restricted to the bare limestone. The former prefers
dryer and more exposed locations than the latter.

The characteristic plants of dry rocks are:

Betula papyrifera, Juniperus communis,
Campanula rotundifolia, Pellea atropurpurea,
Camptosorus rhizophyllus, Valertana edulis,

Cystopteris bulbifera, Zygadenus elegans.

368 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

Results of the survey.—The botanical survey of this part of
the state was undertaken with a great deal of interest by the
collectors. Never before has this region been explored for the
purpose of botanical collection. Great opportunities were there-
fore offered in the search for species, which may have made
this corner of the state the northern limit of their range and for
those which may have strayed down the Mississippi river from
their native home at its headwaters. With such possibilities in
view the collectors were not disappointed with the results.

As a result of the survey 578 species of plants were collected,
26 of which are Pteridophyta, 5 Archisperme, 87 Monocotyle-
dons and 460 Dicotyledons.

In the catalogue of species are reported the following plants
which either have not been previously reported from Minnesota
or have been reported without any known authentic collection.
The specimens have been placed in the Herbarium of the Uni-
versity.

Allionia linearis, t fTieractum umbellatum,t
Asplenium angustifolium, Metbomia tllinoenszs,
Bidens comosa,* Naas guadalupensts,
Carex torta, Prunus niga,

Crategus macracantha, Quercus prinoides,
Falcata pitcheri,* Rudbeckia tritloba,
Gleditsia triacanthos, Sanicula trifoliata,
FHlelianthus atrorubens, Senecio plattensis.*

The following plants collected are of great interest as rare
plants in the state or in this part of the state.

Arctostaphylos uva-urst, Gaura biennis,
Asclepias obtusifolia, FHlamamelis virginiana,
Azolla caroliniana, flydrocotyle americana,
Betula lenta, Juniperus sabina,

Carex lurida, Lactuca ludoviciana,
Cheilanthes gracilis, Lactuca sagittifolia,
Crategus punctata, Metbomia dilleniz,
Cyperus houghtont, Polygonum tenue,
Dasystoma grandifiora, Polygonum virginianum,
Dryopteris goldieana, Quercus platanordes,

* Previously collected but not reported from Minnesota.
+ Previously reported from incorrect determinations or from general distri-
bution ranges given in large manuals without authentic collection.

CATALOG OF SPECIES COLLECTED.

The following catalog of plants contains only those collected by
Mr. H. L. Lyon and the writer in the southeastern part of
Houston county. With the exception of about ten species
which were collected in Brownsville, they were all gathered in
the townships of Mayville, Crooked Creek, Winnebago and
Jefferson.

The determinations were almost entirely made by the col-
lectors, each determining the plants of his own collection. The
determinations of the species of Physalis were kindly made by
Mr. P. A. Rydberg, of Columbia University, and those of
Quercus prinoides, velutina, coccinea and rubra, and Betula
lenta by Professor C. S. Sargent.

The nomenclature is that of Britton and Brown’s Illustrated
Flora of the Northern United States and Canada.

Prof. Sargent writes about 643: ‘* Collection 643, which I
call Q. velutina, differs from that species as it usually
occurs by the much smaller less tomentose buds; the
acorns, however, are clearly from 2. velutina. I fre-
quently have seen specimens of this same form from the
region immediately west of the Great Lakes. It appears
sometimes as if it might be a hybrid between Q. velutina
and 2. coccinea but its occurrence is too frequent and its
distribution too wide to admit of this supposition. With
the present state of our knowledge I can but refer it to Q.
velutina.”

2. velutina does not seem to be nearly so common in this
region as Q. coccinea.

Mr. Rydberg says: ‘‘ This is a very peculiar form that I

have never seen before. It may be a new species

but in

order to make a good description fruit is required. At
present it should be referred to P. phzladelphica with which
it agrees except in the very large and broad leaves. In
that respect it resembles P. macrophysa Rydb. but the

latter is a perennial not an annual as this plant.”

xl. THE SEED AND SEEDLING OF THE
WESTERN LARKSPUR (Delphinium
occidentale Wats.).

FRANCIS RAMALEY.

The seeds of Delphinium occidentale vary in color from a
yellowish brown to a brownish black. The testa is somewhat
irregularly roughened but not pitted or rugose as in many
species of the genus, e. g., the official species, D. staphisagria.
The seeds are three angled with rounded sides and bluntly
pointed at the ends. The edges are either merely sharp angled
or else the angles project, forming conspicuous wings. (See
Fig. 4 and 5.) The seeds are anatropous as in other
Ranunculacee. The vascular bundle extending from the
hilum is small, about 80 microns in diameter. It is situated in
the parenchyma of one of the angles. The cells of the bundle
are about 2 or 3 microns in diameter, in cross section.

Endosperm.—The body of the seed within the seed-coat con-
sists chiefly of endosperm, the embryo being very small. (See
Fig. 5 and 6.) Inthe endosperm, two distinct portions may
be recognized. The inner portion, an ellipsoidal mass, is rich
in oily matter. The outer portion contains some oil, but the
cubical or prismatic cells of which it is composed are chiefly
filled with proteid grains. There is no starch present in any
part of the seed.

Embryo.—The embryo, which exhibits slight differentiation,
is placed at the micropylar end of the seed. It is embedded in
the inner endosperm. The embryo is small, about 0.4 mm.
long or one-fifth the length of the entire seed. (See Fig. 5).

Seed-coat.—The testa consists of a large-celled epidermis
with a thick cuticle and of four or five layers of large-celled par-
enchyma. (See Fig.14.) These cells have yellow or brownish
walls and contain only air. They are usually very much flat-

417

tened in the dry, ripe seed but swell out in seeds which have
been soaked in water. The tegmen consists of a single layer of
small rectangular cells with thick periclinal and thin anticlinal
walls. The cell walls are of a dull brownish color and the cav-
ities are without contents.

Germination takes place in from four to six weeks when
seeds are placed under favorable conditions. The cotyledons
generally escape from the seed-coat before appearing above
ground. This is easily done because by this time the endo-
sperm has been completely used and the seed-coat is likely to
be somewhat rotted during the long period of germination.

Morphology of the Scedling.—lIn the young seedling the cot-
yledons are small, the blades being generally about 4 mm. in
length when they first emerge above the surface of the soil.
They increase considerably in size, becoming 8 mm. long and
6mm. wide. They are ovate, bluntly pointed, with three prin-
cipal veins from which spring conspicuous secondary veins.
The petioles are connate from their bases to a point only a few
millimeters from the blades. The structure formed of the united
petioles emerges above the surface of the soil in the form of an
arch, thus simulating a hypocotyl. (See Fig. 1.) The connate
bases of the cotyledons form a dome-shaped structure covering
the growing point of the shoot. This structure may be termed
the cotyledonary sheath. The development of the foliage leaves
causes a rupture of the cotyledonary sheath. Through the
opening formed the first and succeeding leaves emerge. (See
Figs. 2 and 3.) The cotyledons wither and finally disappear
about the sixth week after germination. The first internodes of
the stem do not elongate and the sub-aérial portion of the plant
consists only of a rosette of long-petioled leaves, until the some-
what scape-like flowering stem is produced. The early foliage
leaves show considerable variation in the blade. The first is
palmately tri-lobed with narrow sinuses. In some specimens
the lobes are pointed, in others rounded. The separate lobes
are sometimes rather deeply one- to two-toothed. Later leaves
may be similar or may be five-lobed, the lobes generally mucro-
nate, or acute, not rounded. The young seedling of the plant
studied resembles that of Delphinium nudicaule, first observed
by Asa Gray,* and accurately described by Darwin.t Lub-

bock,* mentions that in Delphinium trollifolium and in Del-
phinium consolida the petioles of the cotyledons are united in
the same way.

Anatomy of the Seedling.—As this has apparently not been
described for any species of Delphinium a somewhat extended
account will be given. It may be well to state at the outset
that the present writer has studied only the seedling and not the
flowering stem. The young root has a thick cortex and small
central stele. The endodermis, though thin-walled, is con-
spicuous in properly stained sections because of the thickened
cuticularized spots on the radial walls. The xylem is arranged
in two small groups. (See Fig. 7.) In an older portion of
the root (Fig. 8) the xylem forms an elongated mass in the
center of the stele. Higher up the vascular tissue extending to
the cotyledons passes out abruptly on either side at right angles
to the longer diameter of the xylem mass. (Fig. 9g.) Passing
upward the xylem strand divides into six or more bundles as
the transition occurs from root to stem. At the same time.
the cortex becomes thinner. In a cross section at this point
(Fig. 10) the cotyledonary sheath is seen surrounding the stem.
In a section somewhat higher up (Fig. 11) the bases of the early
foliage-leaves may be seen placed alternately. Here the stem
abruptly narrows and a rupture of the cotyledonary sheath per-
mits the emergence of the first foliage-leaf. (Figs. 2 and 3).
The cotyledonary sheath now becomes smaller, narrowing to
form the structure previously spoken of as resembling a hypo-
cotyl. Sections of this structure show that its component
petioles are not completely fused at any point (Fig. 12.) A
slit-like passage, lined with epidermis, extends upward to the
point where the petioles separate completely.

Anatomy of the cotyledonary Sheath.—No difference is to
be noted between the outer epidermis and that lining the cavity.
It is, in both cases, composed of elongated cells which are
square in cross section. There are two vascular bundles, one
for each component petiole. These are small but show no pe-
culiarities in structure. The fundamental tissue is a large-
celled parenchyma,

Anatomy of the Lamine of the Cotyledons.—Each lamina
has three principal veins which send off numerous branches.
The epidermis is composed of thin-walled cells, somewhat

larger on the upper surface than on the lower. These cells
have a very sinuous outline when seen in surface view. Sto-
mata are confined to the lower leaf surface. A loose palisade
layer lies next to the upper epidermis. The spongy paren-
chyma below this has large air cavities. A few short, clavate,
unicellular trichomes sometimes occur on the under surface of
the leaf.

Anatomy of the foliage leaves.—The leaves have sheath-
ing bases and channeled petioles. In the center of the petiole
there is an air cavity. Five or more vascular bundles form a
circle outside this cavity. (See Fig. 13.) Each bundle con-
sists of a large mass of xylem, a very small amount of phloém
and, external to this, a small mass of stereom with lignified cell
walls. The fundamental tissue is loose parenchyma. No
special hypoderma is developed. The epidermis is thin-walled.
The leaf lamine are thin and composed of very loose tissue.
The epidermal cells are large and have sinuous outlines. An
interesting peculiarity is to be noted in the palisade. The cells
of this tissue are frequently branched at the upper end. (See
Fig. 15.) This peculiarity was noted, according to Solereder,*
by Haberlandt in certain species of allied genera, but that
investigator failed to find branched palisade cells in any of the
species of Delphinium which he studied. The stomata of the
foliage leaves are confined to the lower surface of the leaf. A
row of short, simple, pointed trichomes is placed along the
margin of the leaf and a very few similar trichomes are scat-
tered on the upper surface.

A PRELIMINARY LIST OF MINNESOTA
ERYSIPHE.

E. M. FREEMAN.

The collection of fungi in Minnesota has been carried on by
the Geological and Natural History Survey of the state at various
times for the past fourteen years.* In 1886 Professor J. C. Arthur
assisted by Prof. L. H. Bailey and E. W. D. Holway, Esq., made
a collection of fungi in St. Louis county especially in the region
about Vermillion lake. A list of the plants collected was pub-
lished in Bulletin No. 3 of the Geological and Natural History
Survey of Minnesota. Since that time numerous collections
have been made by Dr. A. P. Anderson, Messrs. E. P. Shel-
don, C. A. Ballard and others, but lists of the collected plants
have not yet been published. The list given below comprises
records of all the Erysiphez which have been collected in Min-
nesota up to the present time and deposited at the herbarium of
the University of Minnesota.

A number of specimens had been identified by Mr. Sheldon
and these together with the above mentioned collection of Profes-
sor Arthur and his party have in every case been reéxamined so
that the writer assumes the sole responsibility of the determina-
tions. The specimens have been compared with such well
known exsiccati as Ellis’ North American Fungi, de Thiimen’s
Mycotheca Universalis and others. For the sake of complete-
ness the collection made by Professor Arthur and party is incor-
porated in this list and where the nomenclature has been changed
the name published by Professor Arthur is placed in parenthe-
ses after the collection citation. In 1884+ A. B. Seymour made
a few collections along the Northern Pacific Railroad. Speci-

* A list of Minnesota fungi published by Dr. A. E. Johnson in the Bulletins of
the Minnesota Academy of Natural Sciences during the years 1876-1879 cannot be
considered authentic, since no collection is available for comparison.

mens of these were not left at the University herbarium. No
species however are reported by him, that have not been col-
lected by the staff of the survey. Mention of Seymour’s collec-
tions is appended to each species reported by him.

The nomenclature of Burrill* has been made use of in the
list and for full synonymy the reader is referred to the works
cited below. Britton and Brown’s Illustrated Flora of the
United States and Canada has been closely followed in the
naming of all host plants.

Of the Erysiphez, nineteen species in all have been col-
lected, distributed among the genera as follows : Spherotheca,
3; Erystphe, 5; Uncinula, 3; Phyllactinia, 1; Podosphera,
1; Microsphera, 6. In field work carried on during such a
long period of time and by as many as ten collectors acting
independently, it is to be expected that the number of collec-
tions of common forms will be increased at the expense of the
number of species. <A glance at the list given below will show
that such has been the case in Minnesota. There are undoubt-
edly at least a dozen more species of blights in the state, and
it is hoped that this list will aid future observations. In citing
the district of collection, only the county name is given.

NATIVE AND GARDEN DELPHINIUMS OF
NORTH AMERICA.

Ke @2. Divas:

The name Delphinzum (Linn. Sp. Pl. 530, 1753) is from the
Greek delphin, a dolphin, from the resemblance of the flower,
The common name is LARK Spur.

It is a genus of beautiful, hardy plants, annual or perennial,
erect, branching herbs. Leaves palmately lobed or divided;
large, irregular, showy flowers in a raceme or panicle; sepals
petal-like, five, the posterior one prolonged into a spur; petals
two or four, small, the two posterior ones usually spurred, the
lateral or lower ones small if present; the few carpels always
sessile, forming many-seeded follicles.

There are probably more than 200 species. In fact Huth’s
last complete monograph recognized 198 species besides a num-
ber of doubtful ones. The following treatment includes the
native and cultivated Delphiniums of North America, 52
species and many varieties and garden forms. Thirty species
are native of America north of Mexico, thirteen of which are
used in gardens. Thirteen Old World species have been intro-
duced into the Americantrade. Nine Mexican species are dis-
tinct, and none of them are in use. The mark (f) after a de-
scription indicates which plants are not used in the trade.
Four species are of much greater popularity than the others:
the annual J. Azaczs, and the perennials D. grandiforum, D.
hybridum, and D. formosum. The last three have been es-
specially prolific in giving us new garden forms.

In presenting this: paper I wish to extend thanks to those
who have materially helped me, especially to those who have
freely given me the privilege of examining numerous speci-
mens: Dr. J. N. Rose, Professor E. L. Greene, Dr. N. L.
Britton and Dr. B. L. Robinson.

XXVI. NATIVE AND CULTIVATED RANUNCULI OF
NORTH AMERICA AND SEGREGATED GENERA.

K: €2 Davis:

Few groups of plants are perhaps less understood than this
one. The range of variation in characters is rather limited and
yet the number of species is very great. Six genera have taken
from Feanunculus about thirty-six species and yet that genus re-
tains more species than any other of the order Ranunculaceae.
About 350 names have already been given to American plants
of this group.

RANUNCULUS Lin. Sp. Pl. 548. 1753.

The name is the Latin diminutive for frog, given because
many of the species grow in wet places.

The genus is by far the largest in the Ranunculacee, com-
prising upwards of 200 species. 90 of these are natives or
naturalized in North America; of those in the trade in this
country five are native here; one in the Canaries; five in Eu-
rope, and two of these also in Asia. Those cultivated are so
indicated in the following treatment. Members of the genus
are found in mountainous regions, and in cold and temperate
parts of the globe.

Perennial (rarely annual) herbs: leaves alternate, simple, en-
tire, lobed, dissected or divided: flowers yellow, white or rose;
sepals usually 5, deciduous or marcescent-persistent; petals 5
or more, conspicuous or minute, nectar pit and scale at base;
carpels many, I-ovuled: akenes generally flattened, smooth,

papillose or spiny, borne in a head or spike; styles minute or
elongated.

In 1886 A. Gray wrote a revision of the North American
Feanunculé found north of northern Mexico. This was pub-
shed in Proc. Am. Acad. 214: 363-378. In Syn. Flora rt:
20-39, the revision is brought down to 1895. Since that date
the list of species has rapidly increased and since Gray’s first
revision two new North American genera have been segregated
from this one. In 1892 N. L. Britton discussed six species
«¢R. repens and its Eastern North American allies,” Trans. N.
Y. Acad. Sci. 12: 2-6. Britton and Brown’s Ill. Flora gives
31 species in eastern United States and Canada. In 1880 J.
Freyn gave a long treatment of about ten species in Flora, 63:
179.

The present treatment includes 96 species, eighteen of which
are found only in Mexico and south of there.

XXVII. A SYNONYMIC CONSPECTUS OF THE NA-
TIVE AND GARDEN THALICTRUMS OF
NORTH AMERICA.

Ks, €.. Davis.

The name Zhalictrum (Linn. Sp. Pl. 545. 1753) is prob-
ably from TZhallo, to grow green, and has reference to the
young shoots which are of such a bright green color.

This group includes several forms which are well suited for
the mixed border and rock garden, and the robust forms are
well placed in the wild garden. Many are very hardy, and
only the more southern forms of those given below are at all
tender. TZhalictrums are valued for their healthy heads of
flowers, contrasted with their handsome stems and leaves which
are often of a purple cast. They may be propagated by seed
or by division of roots in early spring just as growth begins.
Any good loamy soil will suit them if well drained.

The latest monograph of the genus was in 1885, by LeCoyer,
in Bull. Soc. Roy. de Bot. de Belge, where he describes 69
species. In 1886 Wm. Trelease published a fine treatment of
‘¢ North American species of Zhalictrum” in Proc. Bost. Soc.
Nat. Hist. 23: 293-304, in which he recognized eleven species
and four varieties north of Mexico. His treatment is rather
closely followed by Robinson in Gray’s Synop. Fl. 1895. Since
that time at least ten new species have been described—chiefly
from Mexico—several of which are by J. N. Rose in Contr. U.
S. Natl. Herb. 5: 185, October 31,1899. Only five have been
introduced to our gardens from other countries.

Erect perennial herbs: leaves ternately compound and de-
compound; stem leaves alternate: flowers dicecious, polyg-
amous, or perfect in some species, rather small, generally
greenish-white or sometimes purple or yellow, borne in a
panicle or loose raceme; sepals 4 or 5, deciduous; petals want-
ing; stamens many, showy; carpels usually few, 1-seeded.

The old name, 7. Cornutc L. Sp. Pl. 545, may be a syn-
onym of this, and, if so, it is the older name being published
on a preceding page; but 7. Cornutz was described as an
American plant which 7. aguzlegifolium is not. As the descrip-
tion and old figures of 7. Cornutc L. do not agree with any
American plant the name may well be dropped, as Robinson
and DeCandolle have suggested. Those plants advertised as
T. Cornutt are probably 7. aguzlegifolium.

XXVIII. SOME PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS ON
DICTYOPHORA RAVENELII BURT.

Ce Sv Scorirep.

The name Dzctyophora was first applied by Desvaux in 1809
to a plant bearing a netted veil or indusium, and the genus so
named was later included under the general family Phalloidee,
established by Fries in 1823. The family was given thorough
systematic arrangement by Dr. Ed. Fischer * in 1888, and in
1896 Dr. E. A. Burt ¢ published a systematic account of the ten
known North American species under six genera.

The development of the sporophore has been especially
studied in plants of this family, and this process has been de-
scribed for many of the species. In the present paper less at-
tention has been given to this particular feature of the life
history, not that it is less interesting, but because in some of the
stages it is not dissimilar to other species that have already been
well described and figured.

Collection of material.—The material for the study of Dzc-
tyophora ravenelit was collected about September 25, 1899.
It was found on low moist ground in rather dense woods near
the west shore of Lake Calhoun, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The mycelium of the plant was more or less abundant over an
area of five or six square yards, and the sporophores seemed to
occur over most or all of this extent. The period of fruiting is
evidently long, for photographs of the mature plants were made
at least a month before the material was collected, and at the
time of collection sporophores in nearly all stages of develop-
ment were abundant.

Two collections of material were made: that of the first col-
lection was put directly into thirty per cent. alcohol and after-
ward passed gradually into ninety per cent. ; while that of the

526 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

second collection was placed in a one per cent. solution of
chromic acid, from which after twenty-four hours it was trans-
ferred to water and after thorough washing was carried by easy
stages into seventy per cent. alcohol.

Methods.—The material for study was, with a few excep-
tions, dehydrated, imbedded in paraffin, and cut with a Minot
microtome, carried down to fifty per cent. alcohol, stained in a
fifty per cent. alcohol saturated solution of Bismarck brown,
transferred into pure xylol and permanently mounted in Canada
balsam. Some of the small portions of the mycelium and
younger stages in the development of the sporophore were first
stained zz toto, and either mounted directly in formalin water
and sealed or transferred to paraffin and cut and stained again
if necessary. The pre-staining method proved very effectual
and was of great help in guarding against the loss of very small
bodies, and aided in the imbedding process. Numerous other
staining methods were tried, but none gave as good result for
structural study as the one outlined.

The vegetative tract consists of a complex weft of mycelial
strands, which vary in size from something less than one-tenth
of a millimeter in diameter up to two millimeters or more.
The complexity of the weft is greatly augmented by the copi-
ous branching of the strands and not uncommonly crossing
strands become more or less fused together. Some of the
larger strands have a length of one meter or more, and often
continue with unvarying diameter for forty or fifty centimeters.

The larger proportion of the mycelium is found near the
surface of the soil where it is covered with leaf mould and may
be found to some extent in the leaf mould itself. Some of it,
however, runs to a considerable depth in the soil, but without
diminishing in size or ending there as would a root of a higher
plant. Invariably, strands found at the greatest depth of twenty
to thirty centimeters could be traced to the surface in both di-
rections. Branching seems to be less frequent on the strands
found deep in the soil, and it was not possible to locate in any
case what seemed to be the definite center of growth.

Each mycelial strand is composed of two general areas: the
central and the peripheral. In the very small threads the cen-
tral area (Fig. 9, B) consists of a few large hyphe, very long
in proportion to their diameters, aud without very definitely
marked cross-septa. Their general direction is, of course,

Scofield : DICTYOPHORA RAVENELII BURT. ape |

along the strand, but they are more or less twisted about each
other, very much as are the threads which make up a strand of
yarn.

The peripheral area (Fig. 9, c) is composed of loosely inter-
twining hyphez, much smaller and more profusely branched -
than the central hyphe, and extending out somewhat into the
surrounding soil (Fig. 8). They seem to resemble very much
the root hairs on the roots of higher plants. It seems quite
probable that the hyphz of the peripheral areas of the smaller
strands function as the absorptive area of the plant, while the
larger central hyphez act as conduction paths.

In the larger strands the peripheral hyphez occupy a rela-
tively smaller part of the strand and seem to abandon their ab-
sorptive, to assume more of a cortical function, being reduced
in the very large strands to a smooth disorganized coating.
The central hyphe by their habit of twisting about each other
make it difficult to determine their method of growth and
branching, for they do not continue long enough in the plane
of the section to be studied with ease, and in no case were defi-
nite cross-septa noted although they doubtless exist.

Upon the mycelium are borne two distinct kinds of bodies:
(1) the reproductive body, and (2) what it has seemed best to
call a storage body or ‘‘ tuber.” The latter will be considered
first.

The tuber makes its appearance as a slight enlargement of a
mycelial strand, and in the early stages of its development seems
to be merely the result of rapid growth of the peripheral
hyphe. ‘There seems to be little regularity in the size or shape
of the tubers and even less in regard to their place of occur-
rence uponthe mycelium. In Fig. ro one of the larger tubers is
shown, natural size, and upon a connecting strand is shown at
‘*q@” the base of an old sporophore. The strand bearing this
tuber seems to have been more or less branched and the tuber
is lobed to some extent to follow the branching. The tuber is
made up of very closely woven hyphe which are much dis-
torted, evidently by being packed full of somewhat granular
material. In general structure it appears homogeneous except
the region of the strand upon which it is borne, where the
hyphez seemed to leave the strand to some extent and mingle
with those of the tuber, but not so much so that the direction of
the strand cannot be clearly followed throughout. A section

528 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

of a young tuber is diagrammatically shown in Fig. 11. The
cell contents of the hyphe of the tuber respond very neatly to
a test for glycogen given by Dr. L. Errera,* and it seems very
probable that this substance is a very large, if not the chief
constituent of the cells. Errera’s test is made with a reagent
composed of 450 parts of water, three parts of KI and one
part of iodine, and he designates it as ‘‘ solution Iodée au 74,5.”
According to him, material possessing glycogen when stained
in this solution or when mounted in a drop of it takes on a red-
dish brown color, which disappears in a temperature of 50—60°
C., but returns upon recooling. Some of the tests made on
Dictyophora tubers were with material taken from 70 per cent.
alcohol sectioned, transferred to water and mounted directly in
a drop of the reagent.

In other instances sections that had been machine cut, stained
in Bismarck brown, and mounted in Canada balsam were soaked
in xylol to remove the cover glass and balsam, carried through
alcohol to water, stained for a moment in Errera’s mixture, and
then mounted in water. In every case the reaction was sharp
in all particulars.

Assuming that Errera’s test is a correct one, and there ap-
pears no good reason for doubting it, it is evident that a large
portion at least of the cell contents of the tuber is glycogen.
Zopf, Burt t and others have associated the presence of gly-
cogen in fungi with the immediate need of the plant for rapid
growth, but there is at least a possibility that this reserve food
supply in the tuber is in some way connected with the economy
of the plant in reproducing itself vegetatively the following
season. Or it may be that there exists a direct connection be-
tween the tuber and the rapidly developing sporophore, though
there is no evidence that any of the supply of glycogen has been
exhausted from any of the tubers collected or found upon the
vegetative tract. If it is found upon further investigation that
these tubers are connected with vegetative reproduction and
that by means of them it is possible to artificially propagate the
plant, it will be of great advantage in the study of the younger
stages of development of the reproductive area. Hitherto the
rare occurrence of the plant and its allies has made the study
extremely difficult.

Scofield : DICTYOPHORA RAVENELII BURT. ' 529

The reproductive area usually occurs on a branch strand of
the mycelium. The length of this branch varies with the dis-
tance of the main strand below the surface of the soil. In some
instances this branch is so short that the sporophore seems ses-
sile upon the main strand. Often the sporophore-bearing branch
and the strand from which it comes are very small (Fig. 8),
and the main strand here seems to diminish but little in size
after giving off the branch. Both the branch and the strand,
however, increase in size as the sporophore develops. In all
cases the development of the sporophore takes place very close
to the surface of the soil so that upon nearing maturity it pushes
partially above the surface before the rupturing of the volva
and the elongation of the stipe takes place. A number of
these nearly mature sporophores are shown in an accompanying
plate. Before taking up the development of the sporophore a
brief description of the mature organ will be given to explain
the parts and to define the terms used.

The mature sporophore (Fig. 7) is 8-10 cm. high and con-
sists of a base B, volva V’, V’, V*, stipe S, indusium /, pi-
leus P and gleba G. The base may be considered for the pres-
ent as a part of the volva, although structurally and develop-
mentally it doubtless belongs to the same area as the stipe.
The volva is slightly pinkish and consists of more or less defi-
nitely organized outer and inner layers with a disorganized
milky-gelatinous layer between. The stipe is hollow, 2-3 cm.
in diameter, dirty white, tapering at each end, with walls com-
posed of several layers of chambers and passing with the pileus
into a thick, white, recurved collar at the distal end. The
border of the collar is entire, not convoluted as in some species.

The indusium or veil is membraneous and not of definite
structure. It is attached at the point of union of the stipe and
pileus and also to the volva near the base (Fig. 7,7). It rup-
tures irregularly upon the elongation of the stipe and may break
from near either the point of attachment, or partially from both,
and hang about the stipe as is shown in the first cut. Most
commonly, however, it seems to break from near its attachment
to the volva and hang between the pileus and stipe.

The pileus is conic-campanulate, 2.5-3.5 cm. long and 2-3
mm. thick, dirty white and with an entire, slightly recurved
margin. It is composed of closely folded layers of pseudo-paren-
chymatous tissue, which give to its surface a finely wrinkled or
granulate appearance.

530 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

The gleba is thin, slightly shorter than the pileus, very dark
olive green and much firmer in texture and more persistent than
is common with the other members of the genus; deliquescing
slowly in dry weather and without so much of the feetid odor
common to the plants of this class.

The description of the development of sporophore must be-
gin with the youngest stage found, although manifestly a com-
plete description should start rather with the activity, nuclear or
cytologic, that takes place before the spore-bearing branch is
formed.

In the youngest stage found (Fig. 1), the sporophore was
about .¢ mm. in diameter and borne upon a branch about .1
mm. in diameter. The young sporophore consisted of but two
distinguishable areas; the central (Fig. 1, 7) and the peripheral
(Fig. 1, v), the chief difference being that the hyphz of the
central area were somewhat larger and took a much deeper
stain than those of the other. The two areas of the strand
seemed to be continued into the sporophore with a slight in-
crease in the proportional space occupied by the outer one. The
line between them is not as clearly marked as in the strand, the
hyphe being closely anastomosed. A detail of the structure
of this stage is shown in Fig. 12. Much time and ingenuity
was spent in attempting to determine the condition in the strand
just previous to the formation of tbe sporophore. It seems
evident that one must look for the starting point in the main
strand or at least in the very young branch.

There seems to be good reason for believing that some cell
fusion may take place in the strand previous to the giving off
of the sporophore branch. In Fig. 8 is shown a small mycelial
strand with a branch ‘‘@” leading to a very small sporophore.
Near the middle of this strand is shown one hypha much more
prominent than the rest, so much so that it may readily be seen
through the surrounding tissue, and by careful focusing its
course may be traced for some distance either side of the place
of branching. It is difficult to see through the tissue, and still
more difficult to get sections to show whether or not an actual
fusion has taken place, which has given rise to a new body.
Evidently a fusion of some kind may have occurred, and, in
the reaction following, one of the hyphze may have come to be
of a slightly different nature, for the single hypha is not par-
ticularly prominent except near the branching point. The uni-

Scofield: DICTYOPHORA RAVENELII BURT. 531

form presence of this prominent hypha would suggest the idea
that it is intimately concerned with the formation of the sporo-
phore while also perhaps evidence that a fusion has taken place
at this point may be seen in the knotted condition of the hypha.
This gives rise to the thought that a cell fusion at this point
may have initiated all the resulting activities. In Fig. g is
shown a section of a small strand at the branching point and
the supposed evidence of fusion is here very clear. That the
peculiar deep-staining ability of this prominent hypha is conse-
quent to such a fusion is indicated by the fact that the hypha
cannot be traced along the strand any great distance from this
point.

It is unfortunate that the technique of the material is not
sufficiently developed to make possible a study of the nuclear
phenomena at this point, for clearly the complete solution of
this problem must lie in the study of the nuclear processes.

Whatever action takes place here is a matter of considerable
importance in the life history of the plant, for the subsequent
differentiation of the hyphal tissue is very complex.

The first marked step in the differentiation of the sporophore
is shown in Fig. 2. The gelatinization of the area between
the outer and inner layers of the volva is shown at V*. There
is a somewhat indefinite integument formed about the whole
body by the breaking down of the hyphe at the surface. The
hyphe lying in the area of the stipe S also begin to be promi-
nent and tissue of much the same nature extends out like
an umbrella from the top of the stipe area. This is evidently
brought about by the apical growth of the large hyphae shown in
Fig. r. Being limited by the denser hyphe of the periphery,
they take a downward direction. This tissue ‘‘P” gives rise
later to the pileus and gleba and there remains between this and
the stipe a tissue of the same structure as that of the volva.
The tissue of the base ‘‘” is similar in structure to that of the
stipe, but closer in texture. The next important stage is shown
in Fig. 3. Here the different areas are fairly well marked.
The area between pileus and stipe is distinct, but is composed
of very loosely woven hyphez. It is in direct connection with
the tissue of the volva, but is nearly separated from it by the
base ‘‘B,” which has extended considerably.

There becomes evident at this point an area of less tension
near the middle of this base and just below the stipe. This is

532 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

connected by a small pore, through the base, with the partially
disorganized tissue in the center of the stipe. The stipe already
shows very slightly its chambered structure and the areas of the
pileus and gleba are distinguishable.

In Fig. 4 the relative size of the various parts is shown to be
considerably modified. Gelatinization of the middle area of the
volva is nearly complete. The indusium is almost entirely cut
off from the volva and occupies a much smaller space than in the
previous stage. The gleba is greatly enlarged, and the hyme-
nial layer is beginning to show and the pressure of the whole re-
ceptaculum is beginning to be exerted upon the inner layer of
the volva. The next stage as shown in Fig. 5 shows general
enlargement of the parts and rapid development. Just how this
enlargement takes place is not easy to understand. Certainly
it is not altogether due to enlargement of existing hyphz for
excepting in the stipe and pileus actual measurement of the
cells in the various stages show slight differences in the sizes of
individual cells, so that enlargement must be very largely due to
apical growth and branching.

The development as shown from Figs. 2 to 5 must go on very
rapidly, for comparatively few sporophores in these stages were
found. In Fig. 6 is shown the sporophore practically mature.
The tissue in the middle of the stipe is almost completely dis-
organized, showing the wall of the other side of the stipe in one
or two places. The walls of the stipe are fully developed, but
the cells of the walls of the chambers are closely compressed,
especially at the angles. The indusium is reduced to a thin
layer adhering closely to the sides. The inner layer of the
volva is drawn very tightly over the gleba and is pressed against
the outer layer at the tip. The gleba is completely developed
and the spores are nearly or quite formed.

Fig. 7 shows the mature plant as previously described. The
parts of it may now be described in detail. The base B is
made up of small but entire hyphz closely interwoven and
shown in detailed structure in Fig. 19. The base forms a cup
which loosely contains the base of the stipe to which it is at-
tached only slightly, just about the pore which connects the
hollow of the base with the hollow of the stipe. The tissue
of the central area of the strand is in direct connection with
the tissue of the base and the peripheral area of the strand at
this time greatly reduced leads directly into the coating of the
base and the outer layer of the volva.

Scofield : DICTYOPHORA RAVENELII BURT. 533

The volva having been so tightly compressed before rupturing,
has its two layers so close together that they might readily be
mistaken for one, and the detailed structure is hard to recog-
nize. The outer layer is hardened and the interstices between
the hyphz are filled with gummy material. The inner layer
has its hyphe lying for the most part in the direction of the re-
cent strain and connects by a thin layer with the indusium.

The stipe is made up of several rows of irregular chambers
as shown in Fig. 13 in cross section. Some of these chambers
open to the outside, but none of them to the middle of the stipe.
The chamber walls, one of which is shown in detail in Fig. 17,
are made up of much distended hyphze which look in section
like the parenchymatous cells of higher plants. The chambers
contain filmy remnants of disorganized tissue. The remnant of
the tissue in the hollow of the stipe X, hangs usually from the
apex of the stipe or some of it may remain attached at the base.
The chambers of the stipe walls become smaller toward either
end and at the apex the wall passes into the recurved collar
where the contents of the chambers, though somewhat disor-
ganized, are not absorbed.

The indusium which has been the cause of the trouble in
classification is hardly to be considered the true indusium com-
mon to the genuine members of the genus Dzctyophora. It is
not a definitely organized structure, but rather the remnant of a
portion of the tissues of the periphery of the young sporophore
caught between the pileus and the base. Penzig* in describing
Ithyphatlus tenuis, speaks as follows: ‘‘ Eine andere bemerken-
swerthe Erscheinung bei /thypallus tenuzs ist das Auftreten
einer Art von Indusium zwischen dem Hute und dem oberen
Theile des Stieles. Auch Ed. Fischer (l. c., p. 22) kurz die
Andesenheit einer Haut, welche er als ‘ Rest der stiel und Hute
trennenden Primordialgewedes’ auffast. Dieses Gedielde ist
nicht in allen Individuen gleich ausgedildet: einmal nur als
ausserest, feines, durchsichtiges Hautchen, andere Male aber als
zienlich derbe, compacte membran, welche den Stiel kragen-
artig oder fast glockenformig umgiebt. Ihere structur ist nicht
pseudoparenchymatisch ; vielmehr ist sie aus eng verflochtenen,
cylindrischen Hyphen zusammengesetz.”

Burtt in describing this plant writes: ‘* This species has been

placed in the genus Dictyophora on account of its having a
persistent membrane hanging about the angle between the pileus
and the stipe. This membrane is composed of the same tissue,
the intermediate tissue A of my figures; which gives rise to the
veil in DY. duplicata. Differentiation of this tissue does not
advance in J. raveneli to the final stage of making this mem-
brane pseudoparenchyma, or is this final stage reached in the
case of hyphe composing the pileus in /. zmpudicus and in D.
duplicata, yet no one would hesitate on that ground to use the
term fzl/eus in connection with those species. It seems best to
apply the term vez/ to this membrane in J. raveneliz which
looks like a veil, has the position of a veil, is composed of a
tissue forming the veil in other species and is likely to be re-
garded as a veil without question by every botanist meeting this
fungus for the first time and attempting its determination.”

Burt’s interpretation of this structure seems hardly the best
one. The membrane as shown in detail in Fig. 15 bears no
resemblance whatever to the tissue of the stipe and pileus shown
in detail with the same enlargement in Figs. 14 and 16. The
attachment of this membrane at the base of the volva and the
fact that it ruptures irregularly, are both strong reasons for not
considering it as a true veil or indusium. It would seem better
to regard it rather as tissue which in other species of both
Lthyphallus and Dictyophora, is completely disorganized—with
the exception possibly of 7. ¢enazs, mentioned by Penzig, where
also a similar structure occurs. The presence of this tissue, al-
though noted by the earlier writers, was not considered of im-
portance enough to exclude the plant from the genus in which
its other characteristics certainly placed it.

The pileus is composed of tissue very similar in structure to
that of the stipe, except that the walls are closely folded and
the tissue of the chambers is not so completely disorganized.
The structure of one of the folds is shown in Fig. 14 while a
longitudinal section showing the relative position of the walls is
shown in Fig. 18. From a surface view the pileus has a finely
wrinkled or granulated appearance. It is firmly attached to the
apex of the stipe just below the collar. The line of demarka-
tion between the pileus and the stipe at the point of attachment
is not easy to make out. In fact at the point of union the tissue
of the three areas, stipe, pileus and collar is homogeneous. It
is close within the axis of the stipe and pileus that the so-called

: Scofield : DICTYOPHORA RAVENELII BURT. 535

indusium is attached and often it clings so closely to the inner
surface of the pileus as to be mistaken for a portion of that
structure.

The gleba is much more persistent than in most forms of the
family, maintaining itself for some hours after the elongation of
the stipe. Its structure at this stage is very indefinite. Slight
traces of the hymenium may be found, but for the most part it
consists of a disorganized tissue containing masses of spores
scattered about, held by the surrounding substance. The spores
are very small, 1.5-2.5 mikrons in diameter, somewhat oblong
and greenish black. In order to show the structure of the
gleba the drawings for Figs. 16 and 17 were made from a
young stage of the sporophore such as is shown in Fig. 6.

In conclusion the results of the study so far made upon this
plant seem to suggest the following points :

1. The mycelium of the plant is of considerable structural
importance and deserves further attention.

2. There are borne upon the mycelium certain organs which
seem to function as storage places for reserve material.

3. There is in the young mycelial threads very good evidence
of the occurrence of cell fusion previous to, or in intimate con-
nection with the formation of the sporophore.

4. The indusium of this plant cannot be considered homol-
ogous with the indusium of true members of the genus Dzctyo-
phora; but is rather the persisting remnant of tissue which is
completely broken down in most other plants of this order.

XXIX. A PRELIMINARY LIST OF MINNESOTA
UREDINE/L.

E. M. FREEMAN.

The following list comprises the Uredinez collected in Min-
nesota up to the present time, by the Botanical Survey Staff.
The materials are taken from the collections cited in my pre-
liminary list of Minnesota Erysiphee.* In addition to these
Dr. L. H. Pammel has made numerous collections at Hokah
and other points in southeastern Minnesota. These have not
been included in the present report but may be found in Tre-
lease’s Parasitic Fungi of Wisconsin.t Puccinta anemones-
virginiane is the only species collected by Dr. Pammel in Min-
nesota which has not been collected elsewhere in the State.

No representatives of the Endophyllacee or of the Schizo-
sporacee have yet been found in Minnesota. Of the Melamp-
soracez five genera with seven species are reported, viz:
Chrysomyxa 1 species, Cronartium 1, Coleosporium 1, Me-
lampsora 3, Calyptospora 1; of the Pucciniaceee seven genera
with 62 species: Uromyces 14, Puccinia 39, Gymnoconia 1,
Uropyxts 1, Gymnosporangium 4, Phragmidium 4, Triphrag-
mium 1; of isolated Zcrdza (including Perzdermza) 30; of
isolated Uredo 2.

On May 11, 1900, there’ was collected in Mille Lacs
county a very large witches’ broom on a white pine. The
broom measures fully g feet across. The distortion of the
branches is very pronounced and the leaves of the broom are
considerably smaller than the normal. The cause of the for-
mation cannot at present be positively ascertained. There are
no indications that the branches contain an abundant mycelium
and the material was collected early in.the spring before ecidia
had time to form. So far as I am aware no authentic record of
a witches’ broom upon pines caused by a fungus parasite exists.

538 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

In Sargent’s Sylva* is a statement that pines are sometimes sub-
ject to the distortions known as witches’ brooms. Dr. Farlow
writes, however, that this statement was based on a reported
witches’ broom on Prxus ponderosa from Montana and that
further study of the material demonstrated that the distortions
Were not typical witches’ brooms, nor were they caused by a
fungus parasite. No definite statement as to the cause of the
broom of white pine collected in Minnesota can be made until
older material is obtained and a more detailed description is
therefore deferred.

Uromyces Linx.

Fourteen species of Uromyces have been found in the State.
Seven of these are found upon plants of the Pulse family. Very
common also are those species found upon Euphorbia, Arisema
and Polygonum. Four species belong to the Hemzuromyces,
seven to the Hwawromyces and of the remaining three, the life
histories are incomplete. The Hwervomycetes are all autcecious.

A. AuT-EUUROMYCES.

1. U. fabe (P.) DE Bary, Ann. Sci. Nat. IV. 20: 76. 1863.

Uromyces polymorphus Pk. * differs from this species only in
greater variability of the teleutospore form. The pedicel is no
criterion. I have therefore included forms on Lathyrus and
Vicca under U. fabe although exhibiting considerable variation
in spore form.

According to Dietel this is 4czdium album Clint. (4cidium

specimen reported below differs from Dietel’s description in
that the teleutospore sori are found on the leaves (not on
the stem), and the color of the sori is not black but dark
brown.

This material (Holway 25) was reported by Arthur * as
Uromyces orobi (P.) Wint. (II), and (Holway 14) as 4cidium
porosum.

The echination, which distinguishes this form from the Euro-
pean form, is in almost all specimens most marked at the apex
of the teleutospores. Many teleutospores are almost smooth
at the base. European teleutospore specimens are sometimes
slightly echinate at the apex.

The Puccinza on Helianthus differs from that on Zanacetum
only in having a slightly broader teleutospore. This is espe-
cially true of the distal cell. Culture experiments are necessary
to separate these forms.

The Minnesota specimens of the Puccinza on Lactuca ex-
hibit morphological characters which according to Jacky (I. c.)
distinguish this form from those on Prenanthes. The teleuto-
spore has no well-developed papilla and no constriction and is
elliptical in form. ‘The germ pores are irregular in position,
often occurring at the summit.

13. P. phragmitis (ScuuM.) Korn. Hedw. 15: 179. 1876.

In Europe it has been demonstrated by several investigators
that the ecidium on various species of /Atumex belongs to P.
phragmitis. According to the recent culture experiments of
Arthur (1. c.) eecidia were easily obtained upon Rumex crispus
and /tumex obtusifolius. According to the same author no au-
thentic and undoubted record of the collection of Mczdzum
rubellum GMEL. has been reported upon American species of
Fumex. A Minnesota specimen of Aumex britannica L. was
collected in 1899 (Freeman 471) upon which several groups of
gecidia were found. Upon comparison with czdzuwm rubellum
on Le. hydrolapathum * the two specimens were found to agree
perfectly in all morphological characters.

The spots are circular and usually of a reddish color, not
swollen. Pseudoperidia on lower surface of the leaf somewhat
crowded, leaving usually a free central area, flat, cup-shaped with
revolute lacerate margin. Spores 17-23 x 11-174. Itseems
very probable therefore that this ecidium on Rumex britannica
belongs to P. phragmit’s. Arthur’s explanation that the ecid-
ium on /ewmex has up to this time been overlooked is therefore
probably correct.

Uropyxis SCHROETER.

The puccinia on Amorpha species (P. amorphe Curt.) has
here been retained under Schroeter’s genus Uropyxzs. The
differences between Uvofyxzs and typical Puccinz@ are no less
than those between Phragmopyxis and Phragmidium. On the
other hand P. deglubens might be included among the Puccinie
without much more serious objection than can be raised against
Puccinia elymi Westd. Puccinia petalostemonis Farlow has a
slight gelatinous exospore which certainly indicates relationship
with the Puccznza on Amorpha. Phragmopyxts according to
Dietel * is more closely related to Uropyxzs than to Phragmz-
-dium. Ihave seen biseptate spores in Puccinza petalostemonis
Farl.t The forms on the Leguminose, therefore, seem to
form a natural group with sufficient distinguishing characters to
separate them generically from the typical Puccznze. This is
Schroeter’s genus Uropyxis. Puccinia petalostemonis Farl.
connects it with the true Pauccne.

The ecidia on composites vary considerably in the form and
color of the spots, the arrangement of the ecidia and in the
size and form of the spores. In the absence of necessary
knowledge of the life-histories of these forms only a temporary
classification is possible. Their separation into varieties based
on the hosts is the only convenient method.

XXX. A NEW SPECIES OF ALARIA.

De ALTON SAUNDERS.

During the summer of 1896 while investigating some physio-
logical problems in the Hopkins Sea-side laboratory, the writer
collected an A/arza which did not seem to agree with any of
the described species. Nospecimens of the Pacific coast A/a-
vias were at hand for comparison andthe writer being loath to
add further to the synonymy of this variable group laid the
plant aside until a favorable opportunity for study should pre-
sent itself. Recently a specimen of this plant with several other
species of Alaskan algz was submitted to Dr. Kjellman who
pronounced it a new species, related to his A. frelonga and
A. angusta.

Alaria curtipes nov. sp. (Plate X XXIII.)

Plant of medium size, one to three or more meters long, dark
olive brown, coriaceous ; stipe very short (1-4 cm. long), firm,
robust, black, narrowed below, but little flattened above; rachis
short, somewhat compressed, gradually passing into the midrib ;
blade linear or narrowly lanceolate, 1-3 dcm. wide, narrowed
above ; midrib prominent, 1-2 cm. broad, projecting equally on
both surfaces of the blade, quadrangular in cross section; spor-
ophylls ovate, lanceolate or elliptical, obtusely rounded above,
2-3 cm. wide, 7-15 cm. long, 16-40 or more borne seriately on
a distinct stalk 5-10 mm. long; fruiting area confined to the
lower half of the sporophylls.

Abundant on exposed rocky points on the central Californian
coast, Monterey bay, Carmel bay, and Point Sur.

- A. curtipes is related to A. prelonga * Kjellm., and A. an-
gusta ¢ Kjellm. but according to Dr. Kjellman’s comparison
** Differs from A. pre/onga in its broader midrib and its shorter

the form of the sporophylls.”

XXXI. A PRELIMINARY LIST OF MINNESOTA
XYLARIACE/.

Pi. Ke Burrers.

During the past fifteen years numerous collections of Min-
nesota fungi have been made by E. W. D. Holway, Esq., Dr.
A. P. Anderson, Messrs. E. P. Sheldon, E. M. Freeman and
others. The list given below comprises records of all the

‘“Xylariacee which have been collected within the State and

deposited in the herbarium of the University of Minnesota. In
each case the county in which the collection was made is cited,
with the date of collection, and such other information as is
deemed of special value. A list of the fungi collected by
Holway was included in Professor J. C. Arthur’s report on
botanical work in Minnesota for the year 1886,* but they are
included in the present list for the sake of completeness. Some
of Mr. Sheldon’s specimens as well as the fungi included in
Professor Arthur’s list have been previously determined, but in
all cases the fungi reported in the following list have been ex-
amined personally by the author and he takes the sole respon-
sibility for their correct determination. In cases where the
determinations as given in Arthur’s list have been altered the
name as it appears in that list has been inserted in parentheses
after the citation of the collection.

In all cases in which the nomenclature employed departs
from that found in Ellis and Everhart’s North American Py-
renomycetes, the name employed in that work is inserted as a
synonym.

It is to be noted that the specimens distributed by Ellis ¢ as
fypoxylon rubiginosum (Pers.) Fr. are certainly of a different
species from those distributed by de Thiimen { and other Euro-

pean authors. De Thiimen’s specimens are cited by Winter *
and are probably authentic. The specimens distributed by
Ellis cannot be Hyfoxylon rubiginosum (Pers.) Fr. They
agree with the fungus upon Magnolia described by Berkeley +
as Hypoxylon epipheum B. & C. (in some works spelled
epiphlwune) and the species has been so cited inthe following list.

In all, nineteen species of Xylariacez are included in the list
given below. They are distributed among five genera as fol-
lows: Wummularia, 3; Ustulina, 1; Hypoxylon, 12; Daldinia,
25 A yloria, 1.

Owing to the somewhat desultory manner in which these col-
lections of fungi have been made, many species which doubtless
occur in the State have not been collected as yet, while some of
the more abundant and more noticeable species have been col-
lected many times.

XXXII. A CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE
OF THE FLORA OF THE RED RIVER VALLEY
IN MINNESOTA.

W. A. WHEELER.

During August, 1900, collections were made by the Botanical
Survey in the valley of the Red River of the North. Professor
Conway MacMillan, A. S. Skinner and C. J. Hibbard explored
the region around Crookston through Polk and Red Lake
counties and Professor C. A. Ballard visited Kittson, Marshall
and Otter Tail counties. Professor MacMillan’s party visited
Crookston, Shirley, Holmes station and the region around
Maple lake near Dugdale and Mentor in Polk county and
Thief River Falls, Red lake Falls, St. Hilaire, Wylie and Ives
in Red Lake county. Professor Ballard visited St. Vincent,
Humboldt, Northcote, Hallock and Kennedy in Kittson county,
Marshall in Warren county and Fergus Falls in Otter Tail county.

The collections made at these stations, scattered as they are
through the Minnesota part of the Red River valley give a good
representation of the late summer flora of this region.

The following plants were gathered of which there have been
no definite authentic collections previously reported from
Minnesota.

Puccinellia atroides (Nutt.) Wats. & Coutt.

Elymus macount V ASEY.

Scirpus campestris BRITTON.

570 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

As a result of the reconnoissance 325 species of flowering
plants are reported below, 73 of which are monocotyledons and

252 dicotyledons.

Concerning the explorations made by Professor C. A. Ballard
he wrote as follows under date of September I, 1900:

The object of the present work was to examine certain portions of
the Red River valley to determine (1) whether the soil of the sections
under examination contained saline or alkaline ingredients in sufficient
quantities to produce a distinctively characteristic vegetation, and (2)
to note the extent of territory affected by such conditions.

I found it very difficult to obtain definite information as to the most
pronounced alkaline regions of the valley, so that the territory covered
is a part only of the sections under discussion.

I examined first, the vegetation, littoral and aquatic, of Mineral,
Alkali and Horse Shoe lakes. These lakes are situated south and
east of Fergus Falls, Otter Tail Co., and are more or less strongly
alkaline. Of the three examined Mineral lake alone has a vegetation
differing from that of the surrounding country. I have collected in
this lake Ruppia occ¢édentalis, in former years although unable to
find it at thistime. It is without doubt growing in the lake. Around
the margin of the lake three or four chenopods grow luxuriantly. I
next spent about two weeks in the northern part of the valley collect-
ing in the vicinity of the following towns: St. Vincent, Humboldt,
Northcote, Hallock and Kennedy in Kittson Co., and Warren in
Marshall Co.

The monotonous dead level of the prairie is broken occasionally by
small streams each with its fringe of trees. The surface wells of the
region visited are alkaline, some of them decidedly so. This shows the
entire soil to be alkaline to a certain extent. These wells are from 15
to25 feet deep. Many deep wells have been sunk throughout the
valley, those in Kittson Co. generally yielding a strong brine (NaCl)
if more than 7o feet deep. I visited one such flowing well at Hum-
boldt, the waters of which had killed all the vegetation for rods along
the path of the flow. These conditions are so recent however that no
marked halophytic vegetation has developed. Near a similar well at
Northcote I found Salécornéa growing abundantly within narrow limits.

Besides these localities of artificial conditions there is an occasional
salt spring in the valley, notably one on * Two Rivers” some miles
west of Hallock. I was unable to reach this spring. The numerous
depressions in the surface of the prairie also often show slight incrusta-
tions of an alkaline salt.

At Hallock I had the good fortune to examine the herbarium of Mr.
G. A. Gunnarson, the Auditor of Kittson Co. This herbarium of 200
to 300 plants represents the collections of several years in the imme-

it

diate vicinity of Hallock. These plants were the ordinary types of the
prairie and woodland of that region. One plant, however, Plantago
ertopoda, is worthy of note as being a salt lover; it was collected 15
miles southeast of Hallock on sandy alkali soil. I afterwards found
this plant growing sparsely six miles east of Warren.

As a result of my observations I draw the following conclusions:
The soil of the entire valley is alkaline. The alkalinity is strongly
marked in small localities only, which are popularly called ‘ alkali
spots.” In Kittson and Marshall counties there are a few similar
‘¢ salt spots,” natural and artificial.

There are few halophytes in the valley; I found but two which I
considered purely halophytic, these are B. 2680 Sadliécornia, growing
in a coulee which had formerly drained a salt well at Northcote; and
B. 2789 Plantago, growing in somewhat elevated sandy soil near
Warren. There are also four chenopods, B. 2701, B. 2702, B. 2787,
and B. 2576, which are semi-halophytic in character. These grow
quite generally in many places in the valley, but are most numerous
and luxuriant on the beaches of alkali lakes and ponds and in the
vicinity of alkali spots.

A more thorough study of the region visited will doubtless add to
the list of halophytes of the State and certainly extend the range of
those already noted.

The principal object of Professor MacMillan, in his visit to
the valley, was to secure a series of characteristic photographs
of vegetation and portraits of plants to illustrate the flora of the
region. There are presented herewith some views selected by
him and made under his direction by Mr. C. J. Hibbard, Pho-
tographer of the Survey. They will serve to give an idea of the
vegetation-sheet in the district covered by the list and will indi-
cate some details of ecological distribution as suggested in the
descriptions of the plates written by Professor MacMillan.

EXPLANATION OF PLATE XXXIV.

General view of prairie near Shirley, Minn. This is the charac-
teristic aspect of mesophytic prairie in the Red River valley. The
shrubs are Sadzx humilis, for the most part. The herbs in the fore-
ground are Asters. The view shows a minor tension line in which
Juncus dudleyz is an abundant plant. On the right a growth of Poly-
gonum intermixed with Andropogon is seen. The view gives an idea
of the variety of the prairie vegetation.

PLATE XOX XV’.

An island of Hlordeum surrounded by a border zone of Sax inter-
mingled with Symphoricarpos and Solidago. Such circular patches of
squirrel-tail grass marking slight depressions in the prairie are not un-
common and often reach a considerable size,even covering several acres.

Pram XOXOevil:

Prairie near Gentilly, Minn. In the background is seen the shrubby
and scanty arboreal vegetation along the Red Lake river. In the
middle distance a minor tension line of Zordeum is apparent extending,
in this case, several miles along the river. In the foreground WVadalus
racemosus, a characteristic wand plant of the region, is seen forming
an almost circular patch in the general grass vegetation.

12 yey Naeis OOO WANA

Gopher mound with characteristic vegetation. These mounds made
by Geomys bursartus are abundant on the prairie throughout the dis-
trict. Somewhat more xerophytic plants inhabit them than are found
upon the level prairie where they occur. Upon this particular mound
hazel-brush, Artemzsta, Bouteloua, Solidago rigida and other semi-
xerophytic or strongly xerophytic plants have secured a foothold.

lean DOOWAUNE

A growth of silver-berry—Zleagnus argentea. This plant is
abundant throughout the district studied, in dry declivities or on slopes
of the rolling prairie. It is also abundant in pastures along the Red
Lake river.

brows of the knolls are occupied almost exclusively by an Artemisza
formation in which three or four species are present, Artemista
frigida being the most abundant. Scrub poplars, hazel and Quercus
form a sparse ‘‘ gallery wood.” Onthe upland Gazllardia, Amor-
pha, Gaura and other xerophytic herbs and shrubs of the prairie are
abundant.

PLATE XLI.

Elm woods along the Red Lake river near Crookston, Minn. The
bottoms being subject to overflow, show a scanty undergrowth mostly
herbaceous, though with a few shrubs of /tzbes, Rubus and Corylus.
In such glades the bolls of the trees are commonly distorted and
scarred owing to the battering which they receive when young by
driftwood and flotsam during times of high water.

XXXII. OBSERVATIONS ON Gigartina exasperata
Harv.

H. B. HumMpurey.

The plants used in the preparation of this paper were col-
lected by Miss Josephine E. Tilden, in Puget Sound near Seattle,
Washington, in August, 1897.

They are found growing at a depth of six fathoms though thriv-
ing in shallower water. In July, 1898, several plants were col-
lected near Tracyton, Washington, at a depth of about four
fathoms attached to rocks in quiet waters. These plants were
generally large and well developed and were somewhat loosely
attached to the substratum. Their position in the water was
erect except in certain places where a tidal current was present.
Plants found in localities washed by swift tidal currents were
smaller, thicker and more firmly attached to the substratum.

The material was preserved in alcohol, consequently the plant
could not be studied in its natural condition. All sections were
cut by means of a freezing microtome. Material imbedded in
gelatin when sectioned proved useless as the cells were swollen
to such a degree as to appear unnatural. Portions of the frond
were then sectioned directly from the alcoholic solution with
good results.

The stains employed were Delafield’s hematoxylin, methyl
blue, methyl violet, iodine and fuchsin. Delafield’s hematoxy-
lin proved a good nuclear stain. Methyl blue was used in stain-
ing cell walls but was not as satisfactory as methyl violet.
Iodine was used in staining carpospores and brings out very
clearly the distinction between them and surrounding tissue.
Fuchsin proved a very satisfactory stain used in connection with
the study of protoplasmic pits, coloring them a deep red.

Sections were all treated with staining solution and then
mounted directly in glycerine jelly, making a permanent mount.

602 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

Floldfast: The holdfast is a disc-shaped organ, exhibiting
considerable variation in size. Inthe case of a single frond the
holdfast is not much greater in diameter than the stipe immedi-
ately above. ‘The under surface is smooth and somewhat flex-
ible, though in comparison with other tissues it shows greater
rigidity and strength. It is not unusual to find several fronds
attached to one common holdfast which, upon close examina-
tion, presents the appearance of a compound organ, in some
instances measuring nine mm. in diameter.

The tissue of the holdfast is unlike that of any other part of
the plant. Pl. 42, Fig. 2, represents a longitudinal section
through a portion of the holdfast showing distinctive areas from
the point of attachment to the substratum to the tissue of the
stipe. It was found that in removing the plant from its point
of attachment the cuticle was removed from the holdfast leaving
exposed those cells immediately adjacent, represented by (@).
These cells appear to be somewhat irregular in outline, though
generally quadrilateral, and are characterized by their exceed-
ingly thick walls. Approaching the stipe these cells are slightly
modified and in conjunction with them are found rather long
somewhat egg-shaped cells, densely filled with contents. These
cells, along with the others, are arranged approximately in rows
extending vertically through the holdfast. Protoplasmic connec-
tion exists between all cells and the cell arrangement is so com-
pact as to give great strength and rigidity to the tissue. These
cells (Pl. 42, Fig. 2, 6) are slightly modified and in conjunc-
tion with small, somewhat spherical cells closely attached and
densely filled with granular contents. Abutting upon this area
are the filamentous cells of the stipe, which are very similar to
those found elsewhere in the frond.

Stzpe.—In the early stages of the plant’s growth the stipe
is hardly to be distinguished from the lamina, but as the frond
reaches maturity the stipe becomes a well-marked organ of
deep red color. Immediately above the holdfast it is circular,
but as it gradually merges into the lamina it loses its charac-
teristic shape, becoming much expanded in one diameter and
thinner in the other. The stipe seldom exceeds a length of 20
mm., while the diameter varies from 2 to 5 mm.

The stipe exhibits a structure similar to that of the lamina,
though in the former the cells possess shorter diameters and
the arrangement is more compact, thus affording greater rigid-

Tlumphrey : OBSERVATIONS ON Gigartina exasperata HARV. 603

ity and strength. The epidermal cells throughout the entire
plant are enveloped by a firm cellulose sheath of variable
tuckness, from three to. ten mic. (Pl.»42, Fig. 4, ¢.) This
cuticle is somewhat elastic, smooth and highly transparent.
Pl. 42, Fig. 5, @ and 4, represent surface views of a portion
of the frond, showing epidermal cells as seen through the
overlying cuticle. By focusing, deeper cells beneath the epi-
dermal layer may be seen.

Beneath the epidermal cells and in connection with them are
the pseudo-cortical cells, presenting an almost spherical outline
and a somewhat loose though definite arrangement. These
cells as well as the epidermal ones are densely filled with pro-
toplasmic contents, though unlike the epidermal cells they con-
tain no chromatophores.

The sections of the stipe were stained with an alcoholic so-
lution of methyl blue which gave a very satisfactory cellulose
reaction and revealed the fact that all the cells were imbedded
in a dense gelatinous matrix between which and the cell walls it
is not easy to distinguish.

Adjoining the pseudo-cortical cells and occupying the cen-
tral region of the stipe is the pseudo-medullary area composed
of irregularcells. Pl. 42, Fig. 3, and Pl. 42, Fig. 4, represent
transverse and longitudinal sections of the stipe. In Pl. 42,
Fig. 3, c, a network of somewhat filamentous cells is seen to
be interwoven with other cells of different form forming alto-
gether a rather loose arrangement.

Lamina.—The general shape of the lamina is almost in-
variably cuneate, attaining its greatest diameter a little way
from the apex. Inall cases the frond is flat and not greater than
three mm. in thickness, and when dry is quite translucent.

It commonly grows from 30 to 50 cm. in length and from 6
to 18 cm. in width, thus showing considerable variation in size.
In shape itis quite as variable ; some fronds being branched pro-
fusely while others show little or no branching whatever.

New fronds arise from the base of the stipe forming at first
somewhat club-shaped or pointed bodies, but later expand and
assume the characteristic shape of the mature frond. (Pl. 42,
Fig. 1.) Both sides of the frond, including the margin, are
thickly studded with cystocarps and numerous epidermal prolif-
erations. Near the base of the frond on each side is a small
area totally void of proliferations. Here the frond is thicker

604 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

than elsewhere, more deeply colored and possesses a glossy
smoothness.

The cystocarps sometimes appear as_ surface elevations
though commonly they are developed in the marginal and sur-
face proliferations. They are most numerous and _ attain
greatest size in the marginal area while at the center they are
scattering and poorly developed, numbering from 8 to Io per
sq. cm. as compared with 15 to 18 near the margin.

The broad flat branches of the lamina, owing to extreme
thinness and position, bear few cystocarps though the number of
proliferations may be great.

The epidermal cells of the lamina are very similar in every
respect to those of the stipe except that the arrangement is less
compact. The-same may be said regarding the pseudo-cortical
area, but a difference is seen in the pseudo-medullary cells;
these are all filamentous, densely filled with granular proto-
plasmic contents (Pl. 42, Figs. 6 and 7) and so joined as to form
a complete network.

Through the use of certain staining reagents it was found that
a protoplasmic connection existed between the several cells of
the frond, best seen in the pseudo-medullary region of the
lamina. (Pl. 42, Fig. 8.) On further examination, using alco-
holic solution of fuchsin as a staining reagent, protoplasmic
pits were seen to exist between the several cells. These pits
were composed in every case of two minute callous plates which
when stained were found to give a reaction similar to that of pro-
toplasm. It was not possible to determine the function of these
connections, but no doubt they serve as paths of communication
between cells. In Schmitz’s discussion of the protoplasmic
pits he shows that they are traversed by plasma-cords which
serve for conduction of dynamic influences from cell to cell.
He believes a transfer of dissolved food material possible be-
cause of the pores in the pit, but does not regard as probable
the transfer of protoplasm.

Proliferations and cystocarp.—PI. 42, Fig. 9, represents an
early stage in the development of a proliferation. Certain of
the epidermal cells become slightly modified in shape, cell di-
vision takes place vertically and apparently transversely. This
increase in the number of cells causes an elevation to develop
and as it continues a well-developed proliferation eventually pre-
vails which may or may not bear a cystocarp.

Humphrey : OBSERVATIONS ON Gigartina exasperata HARV. 605

In the material at hand the writer was unable to secure any
sections showing tetraspores.

The development of the cystocarp, however, was quite clearly
brought out. As the proliferation advances in its development
there arises an irregular cellular formation of gonimoblast fila-
ments and sterile tissue in the interior of which groups of
branched filaments develop the carpospores. This entire for-
mation is surrounded by a definite area of cells forming the
cystocarpic wall. As the cystocarp advances towards maturity
a perforation occurs through the breaking down and gradual
dissolution of certain cells, thus furnishing the mature spores an
avenue of escape (Pl. 42, Fig. 11). The tissue of the pro-
liferation surrounding the spore cavity is similar to that of the
lamina proper, except that the cells are more compactly ar-
ranged.

Sections of this tissue were treated with Delafield’s hama-
toxylin which proved to be a good nuclear stain revealing in
several cells well-marked nuclei. (Pl. 42, Fig. 12.)

Several sections were made in order to determine the struc-
ture and characteristics of the mature cystocarp. Pl. 42,
Fig. 13, represents such a cystocarp showing the spores ar-
ranged in groups surrounded by apparently empty filamentous
cells, thus forming a compound cystocarp. Previous to the
maturity of the spores they are all attached to the gonimoblastic
filaments of which they were originally a part. They are evi-
dently attached by means of protoplasmic threads, though no
evidence of pits occurred. (Pl. 42, Fig. 15.) The carpo-
spores, when mature, measure from 10 to 12 v along one di-
ameter and 11 to 13 p» along the other, while the cystocarp
measures from two to three mm. in diameter through the con-
ceptacle.

XXXIV. OBSERVATIONS ON THE ALG OF THE
Sh. boul, CLEY. WATER:

M. G. FANNING.

St. Paul receives its water supply from twenty-two lakes
north of the city which are situated on both sides of a divide or
watershed. The area from which the water is received extends
about twenty miles north of the city. The greater part of the
water comes immediately from Lake Vadnais, which in return
receives its supply from chains of lakes through brooks, artifi-
cial canals, conduits, etc. As these lakes are separated by a
divide pumping stations are provided at Centreville lake and
Baldwin’s lake to force the water over the divide. Besides the
lakes, groups of artesian wells add to the supply and help to
lower the temperature of the water during the summer months.
There are nine wells at Lake Vadnais and twenty-eight at Cen-
treville lake, making thirty-seven in all with depths varying
from sixty-three to eight hundred and sixty-five feet.

Pleasant lake receives the water from the north slope of the
watershed; from here the water flows from Lake Vadnais, then
it is conveyed four and one-half miles through a conduit to the
pumping station. The elevated portions of the city receive the
water directly from the pumping station. Other parts are sup-
plied by gravity with water from Lakes Gervaisand Phalen. In
order to get sufficient pressure to supply the higher areas, the
water is forced into a reservoir one mile west of the pumping
station. This reservoir is 290 feet above the water level of the
Mississippi river and has a capacity of 18,000,000 gallons.
There is another reservoir on the West Side to supply the ele-
vated district across the river.

At the pumping station and also at the entrance of the con-
duit leading from Lake Vadnais, a series of graduated wire
screens strain from the water the coarser vegetable growth.

Method of collection.—The method of collection is practically
the one suggested by Dr. Smith Ely Jelliffe * and is as follows:
A piece of absorbent cotton four or five inches square and one
inch thick is attached by means of a twelve-inch square of un-
bleached muslin to the water faucet. The water is then turned
on sufficiently to insure a constant stream and is allowed to run
from ten to twelve hours, after which the cotton is removed.
The cotton, which is usually quite brown from the organisms,
is divided into pieces and rubbed and rinsed in five beakers each
containing 200 c.c. of water. The water is then poured into
one vessel and allowed to settle, after which the deposit is put
into a glass containing 25 c.c. A few drops of this is trans-
ferred to a slide by means of a pipette and examined microscop-
ically. At least ten mounts from each week’s collection of ma-
terial was examined in this way. ‘The rest was then preserved
in 2 per cent. formaline for future reference.

For the records, Dr. Jelliffe’s method of computation was

adopted. In computing the numbers the following schedule
was used :

Abundant, 25 + in one c.c. of water.
Common, 10-25 in one c.c. of water.

Few, 5-10 in one c.c. of water.

Scarce, I-5 in one c.c. of water.

Present, Less than five in one c.c. of water.

Since November, 1899, weekly collections have been made of
the plant life in the St. Paul water supply and the organisms
identified (as far as possible) and their number computed.

The vegetable organisms found were all alge if we except
the pollen grains and Fungi spores that appeared occasionally.
The Algee found were as follows:

1. Diatomaceea, 13 varieties.
Cyanophycee, 11 varieties.
3. Chlorophycea, 32 varieties.
4. Peridinie, 2 varieties.

to

Of these some forms of Diatoms were present almost con-
stantly, especially Jelosira, Stephanodiscus, two varieties of

in the Brooklyn water supply. Brooklyn Med. Journ. 7: 595. O. 1893.

Fanning : ALG OF THE ST. PAUL CITY WATER. 611

Synedra and Astertonella. Of the Chlorophycee, Scenedes-
mus and Raphidium were present most of the time. Among
the Cyanophycee, Osczllatoria and Celospherium were prac-
tically constant.

The effect of the cold on some of the varieties is shown by
the accompanying plates (Pl. XLIII. and XLIV.). It will be
seen that a fall in temperature coincides with a decrease in the
numbers of all except Oscz/latorza, which shows a gradual in-
crease with the cold and is abundant for several weeks during
the severest weather.

The desmids, more plentiful in the fall than at any other
time, although never abundant, disappeared after the cold wave
of the third week in December. Another fall in temperature
about the fourth week in January banished most of the Chloro-
phycez and cleared the field of Celospherium, but some of the
diatoms persisted until the zero weather in February, when
most of them disappeared. FAvagz/ar¢a was abundant in Jan-
uary and about January 30th, when Osc7/latoria and Fragilaria
were practically the only forms seen, the water contained con-
siderable sandy débris and entangled in it were quantities of
resting spores of Glwotrichia.

The observations vary from year to year so that a record
should be kept for several years before one could find what
forms were both constant and abundant. For example, in the
fall of 1898, Anabena was ‘‘common,” but in the following
year it is only marked “ present.”

I wish to thank Mr. P. F. Lyons, of the St. Paul Weather
Bureau and Mr. John Caulfield, Secretary of the Water Board,
St. Paul, for their kind assistance.

XXXV. NOTES ON SOME PLANTS OF ISLE
ROYALE.

W. A. WHEELER.

During August, 1900, I spent about two weeks at Tobin Har-
bor on the eastern end of Isle Royale, Mich. At this time I
made a collection of plants numbering about 150 species, of
which the following seem to be worthy of note.

Botrychium lunaria (L.} Sw. Schrad. Journ. Bot. 2: 110. 1800.
Rare in moist woods and thickets.

Botrychium virginianum (L.) Sw. Schrad. Journ. Bot. 2: 111.
1800.

Prothallia and young sporophytes were collected in a thicket
near the shore of the lake on Aug. 30. Previous collections of
the prothallia of this species have been made only by Professor
Douglas H. Campbell at Grosse Isle, Michigan, in 1893 and by
Professor E. C. Jeffrey at Little Metis, Quebec, Canada, in

1895.
Woodsia ilvensis (L.) R. Br. Trans. Linn. Soc. 11: 173. 1812.
Very common on exposed rocks along the lake shore.

Dryopteris fragrans (L.) Scnort, Gen. Fil. 1834.
Common on exposed rocks with Woodsza tlvensis.

Cryptogramme acrostichoides R. Br. App. Franklin’s Journ.
967.1823.
Infrequent on rocks. This is probably one of the rarest ferns
of the Great Lake region.

Lycopodium selago L. Sp. Pl. 1102. 1753.
Frequent on rocks near the shore.

Selaginella selaginoides (L.) Linx, Fil. Hort. Berol. 158. 1841.
Frequent on moist, shaded rocks near the water’s edge on the
shore of the harbor.

620 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

Calamagrostis langsdorfii (Linx.) Trin. Unifl. 225. 1824.

Previously collected from Isle Royale in 1865 by T. C.
Porter. This may be the collection reported in Beal &
Wheeler’s Flora of Michigan as C. dapponica Trin.

Carex abacta Baiuey, Bull. Torr. Club, 20: 427. 1893.
Carex limosa.L.. Sp. Pl 977-1753:
Juncus articulatus L. Sp. Pl. 327. 1753.

Infrequent on moist rocks.

Sisymbrium humile Meyer, in Ledeb. Fl. Alt. 3: 137. - 1831.
Rare on rocks.

Echinopanax horridum (Smiru) Dec. & PLANcu. Rev. Hortic.
FOU. 1854.

The occurrence of this plant in a locality so far removed from
what had been considered its native home is certainly remark-
able. No collections of it have been reported farther east than
the Rocky Mountains of Montana and British Columbia. On
Isle Royale it occurs on the rocky cliffs at two places near
Tobin’s Harbor, z. ¢., Passage Island and Black’s Point and
has the appearance of being indigenous.

XXXVI. REVEGETATION OF TRESTLE ISLAND.

The piece of land I have named Trestle island lies in the
southwest part of Lake Phalen, near St. Paul, Minnesota. The
island consists of an East and a West section separated from
each other by a twenty-five foot embankment of the St. Paul
& Duluth Railroad.

Tue SEASON OF 1898.

Up to the spring of 1898, the road maintained a trestle over
the shallow southeast bay of Lake Phalen in place of the present
embankment. When the trestle was filled in between April
10, and June 1, 1898, the gradually increasing weight of the
dumped material caused the soft lake bottom marl which, ac-
cording to the statement of the road’s engineer, is from 6 to 35
feet thick, to slip out laterally ; and with many folds, wrinkles
and fissures it rose from a few inches to ten feet above low water
level of the lake. Although the engineer in charge tried to
prevent the slipping of the marl by means of pontoons, the
movement did not cease until about 2500 square yards of lake
bottom had risen and become dry land. Of this land about
1500 square yards rose east of the track out of 6 inches to 3
feet of water, and will be called the East section in this paper,
the other 1000 square yards rose West of the track out of 3 to 5
feet of water and will be referred to as the West section. Both
sections have been under the writer’s observation from April
1898, to October 15, 1900, and it is intended to show in this
paper the most marked changes in the vegetation of Trestle
island.

Early in June, 1898, both sections presented a curious system
of curved ridges and crevices running generally parallel to one
another and looking like miniature mountain ridges, valleys,
and gaping faults; and even small lakes with snails and other
aquatic creatures were to be seen. Many of the crevices were

621

over two feet deep and while the opposite walls approached each
other below, the gap at the surface was in many cases eight inches
wide. The West section was an expanse of mud ridges entirely
bare of vegetation, and was at first too soft to admit of a man
passing over it; the East section, however, having risen out of
shallower water and partly out of a marsh, exhibited specimens
of yellow pond lilies ((Vymphea advena), cattails, water plan-
tain, and common rush lifted out of the water and struggling
under adverse conditions.

In the early part of July, 1898, the East section looked already
green from the distance. The aquatic plants just mentioned
still lived, but showed the effects of changed conditions. The
leaves of Vymphea advena, for instance, were all very short-
petioled, and were below normal size, appeared more or less
brownish and the younger ones were rolled from both margins
inward and upward. On the other hand, the number of true
land plants growing vigorously was already bewildering and
although most of them were still too young for a reliable inden-
tification, the following were found in bloom about July 5, 1898 ;*

1. White clover (Z77zfolium repens).
Red clover ( 77zfolium pratense).
Wild mustard (Brassica nigra).
Peppergrass sp.

Mayweed (Anthems cotula).
Crucifer sp.

Black nightshade (Solanum nigrum).
Mustard sp.

9g. Polygonum sp.

10. Timothy grass (Phleum pratense).

it.) Grass sp.

12. Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), out of bloom.

The southern part of this section was covered with a compact
layer of fine silt from the railroad embankment and on this firm
soil little else but young mosses were growing. Scattered over
the higher part of the whole section were young cottonwoods
and willows.

The most interesting plants found, however, were the pro-
thallia of horsetails, probably of Aguzsetum arvense, as that

species is very common along the railroad track south of the
island. These prothallia were little green clumps from ¥% to
Y% of an inch in diameter and grew mostly on the walls of
the shaded mud cracks. From many of them one or more
thin young horsetails were protruding. Although I carefully
searched the cracks for these prothallia in the springs of 1899
and 1900, I did not again find a single specimen. In 1898
they were abundant on both sections of the island, but they did
not grow on the marl, but only on silt and in silt cracks. This
silt consisted of a brownish clay and of very fine quartz sand,
making a compact damp soil.

The West section was still quite bare early in July, 1898. The
creviced marl ridges had dried in the sun and exhibited white
streaks like limestone. These little crags and points were bare,
but in shaded and sheltered depressions mosses covered much
of the damp marl; and small cottonwoods, aspens and willows
were scattered over the whole West section.

About September roth the aspect of both sections had
changed, but most markedly that of the East section, which
was a veritable wilderness of weeds. Its lower portion was
covered with wild rice, over six feet high. Under the rice and
also on the higher ground water hoarhound (Lycopus amerc-
canus), skullcap (Scutellaria laterifolia) and American wild
mint (Mentha canadensis) formed dense tangles and grew with
a luxuriance I had never seen before. There were present in
great confusion nearly all the plants mentioned in the count of
August 16, 1899, and a few not found at that day. In this
weeds’ paradise the young willows could be seen, but they were
not at all conspicuous. No bare ground was now visible on
this section, but in walking through the weeds, one could not
avoid frequent stumbling into the cracks. The West section at
this time presented the appearance of a loose growth of young
cottonwoods, aspens and willows, with the cottonwoods most and
the willows least conspicuous, but much bare soil could still be
seen even from a distance.

On both sections all the young trees remained green and con-
tinued to grow until late in the fall. On October 22d they were
still green but had evidently ceased growing on account of the
cool weather that had prevailed since the third of the month.
Of the East section my notes for October 22d say: ‘*A great
wilderness of dead weeds.”

624 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

THE SEASON OF 1899.

Although Trestle island was visited during the winter of
1898-99 and was also observed during the spring and early
summer of 1899, I shall at once proceed to a midsummer sketch
of it, as it appeared from August 14 to 16, 1899.

Compared with the preceding season, the West section had
this time changed most rapidly and radically. The mud flat of
fourteen months ago was now a thicket of young peach-leaved
willows (Salix amygdaloides). The cottonwoods (Populus
deltoides) and the aspens (Populus tremuloides) so conspicu-
ous last year were now hidden by the willows, which had grown
so large that a herd of cattle or horses would have been com-
pletely concealed. Although the high railroad embankment
was not more than forty feet from the spot where I wrote up
my notes, I could only get glimpses of it along the sky line.
Within fourteen months there had grown from the tiny, wind-
carried willow seeds a thicket of trees that were large enough
to completely shade my paper and exclude the southwest
breeze, while two of the young trees were stout enough to
afford me a secure and comfortable back rest. One of them,
by actual measurement, was 11 feet 3 inches high and had a
diameter of 114 inches at a distance of four inches above the
ground. All the larger trees of this species were approxi-
mately of that size and showed a growth of about five feet for
the season. A few of the cottonwoods not standing very close
to any Salix amygdalozdes were about as tall, but not as thick
as the Sadix, while the aspens and three or four other species of
willow were much smaller and showed only a growth of about
three feet for the season. It was clear that the peach-leaved
willow would be the dominant plant on this section. It has
clearly won the battle against the cottonwoods; and other trees
and herbs will occupy a subordinate position. The West sec-
tion is a willow island.

Lack of space forbids to enlarge upon the herbs and grasses
on this section, but it should be mentioned that a fringe of cat-
tails (Typha latifolia) and arrowheads (Sagzttaria latifolia) is
forming on the lake side of the West section. These plants
grow there in 6 to 12 inches of water, where the whitish marl
was not raised above low water level although it was elevated
considerably.

Lange: REVEGETATION OF TRESTLE ISLAND. 625

The East Section from August 14 to 16, 1899.—The great di-
versity of plant life on this section already referred to continued
for this season. In this diversity and in the comparative pau-
city of trees it presented a striking contrast to the West section,
where all true land herbs struggled under the over-shadowing
trees.

On the East section, peach-leaved willows dominated the
south corner. A crescent, which under the effect of higher
water, formed last year a dense rice marsh, with a thick tan-
gled undergrowth of water hoarhound and mad-dog skullcap
is now a meadow of tangled rice cut-grass (Homolocenchrus
oryzowdes). The remainder of the section is covered by a very
much mixed vegetation, amongst which peach-leaved willows,
slender pink persicaria, giant sunflower, a few specimens of
wild rice, and cattail are most conspicuous although not most
numerous.

The most notable changes, besides the one of the rice marsh
to a cut-grass meadow, are the complete disappearance of
water-lilies, wild rice, and common rush from the higher ground,
the appearance of slender pink persicaria on well-marked areas,
and the establishment of willow domination in the south corner.

Not a hand’s breadth of bare soil is any longer visible on
either section, except in deep crevices. To show clearly the
distribution of plant life on this section in midsummer of 1899,
I give here the result of a count made on August 16, 1899.

I. Plants established in large numbers and forming the bulk
of the vegetation.

1. Peach-leaved willow (Salix amygdalordes). In the south
corner.

2. Rice cut-grass (Hlomolocenchrus oryzoides). On an east
crescent.

3. Slender pink persicaria (Polygonum incarnatum). In
well-defined patches.

4. Mad-dog skullcap (Scutellaria laterifolia). General
under the taller plants.

5. Cut-leaved water hoarhound (Lycopus americanus).
General under taller plants.

6. American wild mint (JZentha canadensis). General under

8. Horseweed (Lefizlon canadense). On the higher ridges,
where common rush grew in ’98.

II. Aquatics, marsh plants and cryptogams which were still
struggling along in a few spots. July of this year, the most im-
portant month of growth for annual and perennial herbs in this
region was unusually dry, showing a monthly deficiency in
precipitation of 1.75 inches.* This condition was unfavorable
for aquatics and marsh plants, but favorable for such plants as
horseweeds and common ragweeds.

1. Wild rice (Zizanza aquatica).
Water plantain (Alisma plantago-aquatica).
Common rush (Juncus effusus).
Broad-leaved cattail (Zypha latifolia).

THE SEASON OF 1900.

The last half of October, 1899, was quite dry and at the end
of the month the United States Weather Bureau reported an
accumulated deficiency in precipitation since January first of .73
inch. On some day between October 29 and November 4,
1899, a prominent factor in plant distribution appeared on the
East section of Trestle island. Fire changed the wilderness
of dead, dry weeds into a black, ashy waste.

On May 6, 1900, the East section looked, on the whole, still
barren and black. All the over-ground parts of the young

628 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

trees that had grown scattered amongst the weeds were found
to have been fire-killed, but about one-half of their number had
grown out again near the ground. ‘The larger ones in the south
corner had not been killed, because there the weeds had not
grown as thick.

Patches of the perennials, Elymus canadensis and a few other
grasses, as well as goldenrods, sunflowers and nettle were coming
out vigorously. The rice cut-grass, however, although it seems
to be perennial, had a very poor start. On close examination
numerous seedlings of annuals were found, but all looked
brownish and sickly on account of the dry weather and the
glaring sunlight. Although most of them were not readily
identified, I recognized the following without difficulty :

1. Polygonum sp.

2. Mentha sp.

3. Carduus lanceolatus, the seedlings of which looked quite
green and vigorous.

4. Lactuca sp.

5. Brassica nigra.

6. Chenopodium sp.

The spring and summer of 1899 were excessively dry in this
region so that, since January Ist a continued accumulated defi-
ciency of rain of over 4 inches was reported from May 31st
to August 31st. About June roth another -new factor, one that
is able to destroy all plant life not perennial or not armed in
some way, appeared on the scene—ca/é/e, a large herd of
hungry dairy cows. In their search for green grass they had
passed over the dried-up marsh and along at the foot of the
embankment and had discovered the East section of Trestle
island.

In the end, however, bovine instinct for plant selection proved
of some interest, for, when after an absence of over two months,
I visited the place again about Sept. roth, there was a closely
cropped, rough, much trampled piece of pasture. Where a
year ago about 60 different plants had grown in wild exuber-
ance, only about 40 cropped and crippled trampled species were
to be found* and only asingle one of these bloomed and flour-
ished in large numbers, the formidable armed thistle, Carduus

* About 30 species of the list of August 16, 1899, had survived fire and cattle
and about 10 species were found that do not appear on the list of August 16,
1899.

lanceolata. It has occupied nearly one third of the section
and next summer, I think, the thistle will keep the cows off the
grass, and as the West section is a willow island, the East sec-
tion will be a thistle island.

During September, 1900, there was over 5 inches of rain and
now water once more surrounds the East section and the cows
have not been there since about October Ist.

The West Section in the Season of 1900.—The lake has risen
about two feet since September 15th this year and the south
half of the section is under water. Fire and cattle have thus
far never invaded this section. The willows are thriving. There
are probably five species of them, but Salw amygdaloides
forms the thicket. There are a few thrifty cottonwoods, and
aspens, one balsam poplar, and one slippery elm, U/mus fulva.
Although sumac, hazel, box-elder, silver maple, wild haw,
flowering dogwood and three species of oak grow within half
a mile and most of them within a stone’s throw of the island,
not one individual of all these has been found on either section
of Trestle island.

Last spring several of the willow species, when they were
only about 24 months old, bloomed for the first time and pro-
duced fruit. A count on May 11th revealed 38 staminate indi-
viduals and 27 pistillate individuals of Salix amygdaloides in
flower. The count was then made to include older trees of
the same species along the cycle path near the island and of a
total of 135 trees counted 74 bore male and 61 bore female
flowers. Although a number of the trees were measured last
year, only a few recent measurements of October 12, 1900,
can be given here.

four inches from the ground, and 16 feetin height. The larg-
est cottonwood, No. 5, shows a horizontal spread of its top of
2% feet, while a willow (.S. amygdalozdes) near it spreads its
branches 8 feet in a horizontal diameter. A number of trees
have been marked and their study as well as that of the whole
island is being continued. The willows are now so large that
for some time a flock of English sparrows regularly roost in .
them and they seem to prefer the part of the section that is
flooded.

ANIMAL LIFE OF THE ISLAND.

Did the limits of this paper permit, an interesting chapter
might be added under this heading. Crayfish, voles, mice,
and muskrats burrow under and in the island, since the sum-
mer of 1898, the cottontails resort to it, and in August of 1899
some minks had made their home under the old ties, which
once formed the engineer’s pontoon. Near the mink’s home a
song-sparrow had hatched its young on a thistle bush. Some
of the young trees on the West section have been infested with
the spotted willow aphid, J/elanoxanthus salicits,* since the
summer of 1899 and their secretions attract swarms of flies and

XXXVII. VIOLET RUSTS OF NORTH AMERICA.

J. C. ARTHUR anp E. W. D. Hotway.

A rust of violets, in its three forms of ecidium, uredo and
teleutospore, is common throughout North America upon nearly
all indigenous species of the genus Vzola. For the most part
it belongs to a single species, Puccenta Viole (Scuum.) DC.,
which is also the common violet rust of Europe and of some
other regions. This, at least, is the conclusion to which we
have arrived after a rather extended study of considerable ma-
terial. Beside the one common rust there isa peculiar “czdium
throughout the eastern part of North America, and one species
of Puccinia in the western part, both distinctly American.

In this connection we desire to acknowledge the kindness of
the New York Botanical Garden, the Botanical Department of
the University of Illinois, and of the Iowa State College, in
loaning material from their herbaria, and to extend our thanks
to their representatives. We wish alsoto thank Dr. J. J. Davis,
of Racine, Wis., and Mr. E. Bartholomew, of Rockport, Kans.,
for aiding us with specimens and information. Weare further-
more grateful to Mr. Stewardson Brown, curator of the herba-
rium of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences, for the privilege
of examining material in the Schweinitz collection, and to the
custodians of the Gray Herbarium of Harvard University and
of the New England Botanical Club, from the examination of
whose phanerogamic collections of V7o/a, five specimens of rust
were obtained in the former instance and three in the latter.

In this article for conciseness we have used in addition to
the usual I, II and III for designating the ecidium, uredo and
teleutospore stages, the sign O for the spermogonial stage. In
citing specimens these signs are put into large type when the
stage is present in abundance, and into small type when sub-
ordinate and in small amount.

occurs in open woodlands from the last of March to the begin-
ning of June, but is rather infrequent and local. It is distin-
gished from the ecidium of Pucczntza Viole by the markedly
smaller cups and spores, and by a greater tendency to form
small, round groups seated on the mesophyll of the blade,
rather than on the midrib or veins. The peridium is usually
conspicuously white; the cylindrical elongation noted in the
description by Berkeley and Curtis is occasionally to be seen,
but must be considered as accidental, depending upon condi-
tions of growth. The same kind of development is met with
in other forms of acidia (see notes on “ccdium pulcherrimum
Rav. in Bull. Lab. Nat. Hist. of Univ. lowa 4: 399-400).

Examination of specimens in the Schweinitz collection at the
herbarium of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences shows that
both species which he described as new, occurring on Vola
pedata and V. sagittata respectively, belong here. The name
coming first on the page is taken as the authentic name of the
species. The Schweinitz specimens on both hosts are ample,
but neither shows the ecidia in so characteristic a form as does
the specimen in the same collection on Vola obliqua, which
Schweinitz referred to 4czdium Violarum. The last has very
small, compactly clustered zcidial cups, in small round groups,
while both the former have the cups somewhat larger, and
sparsely scattered or solitary. The difference in habit is doubt-
less due to the influence of the host and the atmospheric con-
ditions affecting the development, in part, combined with the
accidental distribution of the infection over the leaf surface.

Spermogonia have not been seen by.the writers, but Burrill
(Par. Fung. Ill., p. 223) states that they precede the ecidia, al-
though he does not describe them.

Arthur and Holway: VIOLET RUSTS OF NORTH AMERICA. 637

This species shows remarkable variability, especially in size
of the spores, and in the thickness and markings of their walls.
These differences come out most strikingly when comparing a
series of specimens. There is also considerable variability in
the form of the spores, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, both taken
from the same specimen, but it is such as one may expect to
find in many other species of rusts.

If almost any specimen of violet rust be compared critically
with an European specimen, the greater size of the teleutospores
in the former is likely to attract attention. This is the basis of
the species proposed by Cooke, Puccinia hastate. A specimen
collected by W. C. Blasdale on Vola cognata at Sisson, Calif.
(Figs. 5 and 6), has been compared with the type material of
P. hastate at the Kew Herbarium, through the kindness of Mr.
Massee, and found to agree very closely. The greater size of
the teleutospore in the American material generally is notice-
able, and this difference extends to the uredo and ecidial stages
as well, although not usually so pronounced. In the case of
an ecidium on Vzola pubescens, collected at Decorah, Iowa, in
1882, Farlow has made the comment :—‘‘ Spores somewhat
larger than in the European specimens; this may be the
fEcidium of Puccinia hastate Cke.” (on the label in Ellis’ N.
Amer. Fungi, no. 1007). If size of spores is to be taken as
valid basis for separating species, there is no question that the
American form shows a strong claim to rank as autonomous.
The claim, even on that assumption, is much weakened, how-
ever, by the great range between the smallest and largest of
the American specimens, indicating a decided capacity for vari-
ability rather than a fixed form.

A peculiarity of the American violet rust, that in the case of
European specimens we have not seen mentioned and have not
observed, is the frequently tuberculate sculpturing of the teleu-
tospores. Burrill (Paras. fungi Ill.: 174) makes this a diag-
nostic character, but in a wide series of specimens one does not
always meet with it. With most observers the spores would
generally be rated as smooth like the European form. The
true character of surface markings can be best studied by ob-
serving the spores without addition of fluids. In this way it is
easy to see that the markings are small papille, sparingly dis-
tributed, and chiefly appearing on the upper half of the spore.
A closer study reveals the interesting fact that when no eleva-

638 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

tions above the general surface of the spore can be detected,
there may yet be observed almost the usual appearance when
the spore is examined in face view. Instead of papille, their
places seem to be supplied by translucent dots. Now the most
interesting outcome of this study is the observation that the
European specimens, while having what are always rated as
smooth teleutospores, yet show when looked at dry and in face
view, the same appearance of translucent dots and in the same
abundance and distribution as do American specimens. The
American form, therefore, simply accentuates characters that
are primitive in the trans-Atlantic form.

The uredospores also have interesting, but less significant,
characters showing variability. As a rule they do not much
exceed in size those from European specimens, although the
tendency toward largeness is apparent. But in many American
specimens the walls are greatly thickened (compare uredospores
in Figs. 5 and 7), and give a striking appearance under the
microscope. These thick-walled uredospores are sometimes
small, and sometimes large. They occur on various species of
violets and range from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific. Fine
illustrations are found in material on Vola primulefola col-
lected at Isle au Haut, Me. (Fig. 8), the uredospores being
small, and on Viola glabella collected at Bingen, Wash. (Fig.
7), the uredospores being large. After all, the form is only oc-
casionally met with. If it is an adaptation to some particular
environment, it is difficult to see what that may be. The form
on Viola primulefolia from Maine was collected within a few
hundred feet of the open ocean among rocks, yet in the same
situation and intermixed grew Vzola lanceolata with rust show-
ing uredospores having almost normally thin walls.

It is possible that these interesting variations belong in some
way to obscure species, but our study has shown no morpho-
logical boundaries. It is more likely that they indicate races,
or possibly so-called biological species. A well-directed series
of cultures would undoubtedly yield important results.

A few words regarding the American synonymy may be
helpful. Cooke described Puccinza hastate in the third volume
of Grevilica from material collected in Maine by E. C. Bolles.
The host was Viola hastata. The uredo and teleuto stages are
described, but the only distinctive characters are the measure-
-ments which are given as 20-22 y for the uredospores, and

Arthur and Holway: ViOLET RUSTS OF NORTH AMERICA. 639

20-25 by 35-40 v for the teleutospores. The name has been
very little used by American or other botanists. The assign-
ment of the name to a place under the wholly distinct Puccznza
Fergussont, as done by De Toni in the seventh volume of
Saccardo’s Sylloge fungorum, was far from being a shrewd
guess as to its relationship. It is even more inexplicable how
Dietel could have fancied a resemblance to Puccinia Fergussont
in the type material of his Puccznza densa. Wis material of the
latter species was collected in 1895 by W. N. Suksdorf in the
State of Washington. It was on Vrola glabella, and yielded
only teleutospores. The characters which he drew up for the
proposed new species agree perfectly with those of large-spored
forms of Puccinza Viole. Beside the type collection we have
examined material on the same host from other localities in the
same State, and secured by the same collector. This ample
material includes all three spore stages, and leaves no doubt of
the identity of P. densa Diet. with P. Viole.

All the hosts of the specimens cited under Vrola Montanenszs,
and part of those under V. adunca, have been determined or
verified by Dr. P. A. Rydberg of the New York Botanical Garden.

An error in the thirteenth volume of Saccardo’s Sylloge fun-
gorum, page 1313, should be pointed out here. Pucc7nza
Marie-Wilsont Clint. is said to occur on Vrola cucullata Ait.
and V. delphintfolia Nutt. The error is due to a confusion of
names. <&cidium Marie-Wilsoni Peck is found on these
hosts but Puccznza Marie-Wilsont Clinton is only found on
Claytonza, and both species are widely different from Puccznza
Viole.

Puccinia effusa D. & H. 1895. Erythea 3: 81.

what recurved; spores subglobose, somewhat angular from compres-
sion, minutely verrucose, 20-27 » in diameter.

thick; apex rounded, usually not thickened; base rounded or occa-
sionally slightly narrowed; pedicel hyaline, deciduous.

The western coast of the United States in spring and early
summer. The following specimens have been examined, the
first being the type collection:

On Viola lobata BENTH. 1894, Dunsmuir, Calif. I. iii (4.

W. D. Holway).
On Viola Nuttallii Pursu. 1897, Falcon Valley, Wash. I.
iii (W. MN. Suksdorf ).

The species is very characteristic. It probably possesses
spermogonia, but they have not yet been observed; it is, how-
ever, without uredo, although erroneously included in the orig-
inal description of the species. Two specimens are cited
(Erythea 3: 82) as type material, the first on Vzola lobata, re-
ferred to above, and the second on V7ola ocellata. ‘The latter
specimen has been examined and proves to be Puccinia Viole,
and is cited above under that species. The original description
of the species is accordingly emended to omit the supposed
uredo.

The difference in the shape of the spores, shown in the pho-
tographs of spores taken from the two hosts, is doubtless due
to some accident of growth, such as more or less compression
in the young sorus, and is without diagnostic value. It is of
the same nature as the difference shown in two mountings from
the same collection of P. Véole on V. cognata. The more
regular spores are to be accepted in each case as the normal
development under favorable conditions.

Four additional species of violet rusts occur in Europe, and
it is possible that they may eventually be found in this country.
Uredo alpestris Schreet. inhabits Vola bzflora L., and as this
host is a native of the Rocky Mountains, the rust may possibly
accompany it. Puccinia alpina Fckl. also occurs on V. d¢flora
L., and P. Fergusson Berk. & Br. occurs on V. palustris L.,
and V. méradbilis L., and V. epipsela Led. Both of these
species belong to the section of Micropuccinia, and are notably
distinct from the other rusts on violets. A specimen of rust
collected by Marcus E. Jones at San Diego, Calif., in 1882,
was erroneously referred to the latter species, and distributed
by him as No. 3040. Puccinta egra Grove is an autcecious
species found on the cultivated pansy and its close relatives.
It will probably be brought to America after a time through
commercial channels, as the rusts of asparagus, chrysanthe-
mum, carnation, hollyhock, and of some other cultivated plants

Arthur and Holway: VIOLET RUSTS OF NORTH AMERICA. 641

have been. As the hosts of these four species of violet rusts
are found in this country, the rusts may not unreasonably be
expected also.

XXXVIII. OBSERVATIONS ON THE EMBRYOGENY
OF NELUMBO.

Fett. Teron:

INTRODUCTION.

The peculiar and seemingly inconsistent characters of /Ve-
lumbo have given rise to a variety of opinions regarding its
proper systematic position and in attempts to settle the points in
dispute the plant has again and again been subjected to careful
investigation, the recorded observations forming a considerable
literature.

In anatomy the plant seems to conform more nearly to the
type of the Monocotyledons, as in fact do all the Nymphezacee,
the vascular bundles being closed and irregularly placed through
the stem. On the other hand the large peltate leaves with their
reticulate venation are perhaps more suggestive of a dicoty-
ledonous plant, while the flowers might easily belong to one of
either class. Thus far can investigators agree, but the anoma-
lous character of the fruit has made it a subject for controversy,
and the interpretations offered are numerous and at great vari-
ance. Briefly stated the fruit presents the following peculiari-
ties. Each carpel of the apocarpous gyncecium contains a
single ovule and matures as a spherical one-seeded fruit. The
thick sclerenchymatous pericarp lined by the thin testa is closely
filled by two large white fleshy bodies hemispherical in shape
and joined to each other at the stigmatic end of the pericarp.
In an elongated oval chamber formed by opposed concavities
in the inner surfaces of these fleshy bodies, and attached to
them at their point of continuity is a green structure—a stem
bearing a large and small leaf and an apical bud containing
two more. The free leaves are fully formed and already green
and together with the stem are enclosed by a thin delicate
structureless membrane. Imbedded in the common tissue of

green structure is found a vestigial radicle. Upon the germi-
nation of the seed the fleshy bodies remain within the pericarp
wall while the green structure develops into the extraseminal
plant body. The radicle does not function, the first roots
springing from the stem of the green structure.

The first careful description of the seed seems to have been
given by Gaertner (1788, 73-74). He termed the large fleshy
bodies the vitellus which he considered a transition between the
endosperm and cotyledon. The green structure he considered
the embryo and in VVymphea he describes it as monocotyledon-
ous, but of Velwmbo he says: ‘* Ambigit Nelumbo inter plantas
mono- & dicotyledones: nom ad posteriores, ex fabrica seminis,
omnino spectare videtur ; sed verissime ad priores pertinet, quum
constantissime unicum duntaxat sub germinatione promat foli-
olum, nec alterum prodeat, donec prius penitus evolutum &
super aqua explicatum sit:” Jussieu (1'789, 68, 453) considers the
green structure a monocotyledonous embryo and describes the
large fleshy bodies as endosperm. Poiteau (’09, 382, 383) in-
terprets the large fleshy bodies as cotyledons and the membrane
as a stipule, but denies the presence of a radicle. Mirbel (’09)
accepts Poiteau’s interpretation of the large fleshy bodies but
notes the presence of a radicle. Richard (’11) describes the
embryo as monocotyledonous. The little sac which surrounds
the green structure he considers a reduced cotyledon and the
large fleshy bodies an outgrowth of the radicle. Mirbel (715,
59, 60, footnote) writes: ‘‘ Je ne suis pas éloigné de croire que
le Piper, le Saurus———,, le Nymphza, le Nelumbo et peutétre
quelques autres genres que l’on regarde mal-a-propos comme
Monocotylédons, doivent prendre place non loin les uns des
autres, parmi les Dicotylédons, dans la série des familles natur-
elles.” Mirbel’s declaration seems to have settled the question
as to the character of the large fleshy bodies, his interpretation
having been generally accepted except by Barthélemy (’76) who
asserts : (I) that the green structure is the one which arises in the
embryo-sac and hence is to be considered as the embryo, (2)
that the two fleshy bodies imitating cotyledons arise through the
division of the exosperm.

Concerning the little colorless sac which surrounds the green
structure, however, no opinion seems to have been given which
could meet with general approval. In addition to those above
cited De Candolle (’21) considered it a stipule, Brongniart (’27)

Lyon - OBSERVATIONS ON EMBRYOGENY OF NELUMBO. 645

the embryo-sac, Trecul (’54, 2) a concretion of a homogeneous
substance containing numerous small, acicular crystals, and
finally Wigand-Dennert (’87) in a monograph on Velwmbium
speciosum wrote: ** Es ist unzweifelhaft der Ueberrest von Endo-
spermzellen, welche sich in der Héhlung zwischen den Cotyle-
donen erhalten und gleichsam auf der Oberflache der Plumula
niedergeschlagen und dadurch das Ansehen einer Membran
erhalten haben.”

From the above survey of literature it will be seen that mod-
ern knowledge of the seed is based on investigations made upon
mature or nearly mature fruits. That alone which will deter-
mine the correct interpretation of the structures (7. e., a knowl-
edge of their origin) is entirely wanting. It was in recognition
of this fact that the present embryological study was undertaken.
In a preliminary note, published in Sczence, the more important
conclusions were announced. 1. The embryo of Velumbo is
genuinely monocotyledonous in its development. The plumule
arises laterally and at first there is but one cotyledon which later
bifurcates to form the two fleshy bodies. 2. The membrane
surrounding the plumule is, as conjectured by Wigand, a true
endosperm arising within the embryo-sac.

COLLECTION AND METHODs.

The material for the investigation in hand was collected by
the author in August, 1899, and August, 1900, in southeastern
Minnesota while working on the botanical survey of that region.
There, Velumbo lutea grows in great luxuriance in the sloughs
and bayous of the Mississippi river, the soft muddy bottoms
and quiet waters of these bayous affording an ideal habitat for
the plant, where it often forms beds many acres in extent to the
exclusion of other vegetation.

In collecting, each carpel was removed from the torus, the
lower end cut away and the upper portion with the attached
ovule placed in the fixing fluid. One-half and one per cent.
chromic acid and chrom-acetic acid were used as killing re-
agents. The material was thoroughly washed and passed gradu-
ally into 70 per cent. alcohol in which condition it was brought
into the laboratory. The ovules were imbedded in paraffine and
serial sections cut with a Minot microtome. The sections were
stained on the slide, a variety of stains being used; the photo-
micrographs and drawings, however, which accompany the

646 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

present paper were made from sections stained with aniline-
water-safranin or acid fuchsin.

At the present time the material at hand is insufficient for the
full demonstration of certain points, especially in the develop-
ment of the embryo-sac. Therefore, the present paper will be
limited to a discussion of the embryogeny, the development of
the embryo-sac and the cytology of reproduction being reserved
for future treatment.

RESEARCH.

The embryo-sac is ovoid at its micropylar end and tapers down
to a narrow attenuation which extends deeply into the nucellus.
As the embryo-sac matures the nucellar tissue directly in con-
tact with it begins to break down. There also appears in
the antipodal region a club-shaped cellular structure which
obliterates the lower portion of the sac (Figs. 1 and 2). The
precise origin of this peculiar antipodal body remains yet to be
determined. To facilitate description the embryogeny may be
considered in a series of stages.

Stage A. Spherical stage.—The young embryo is usually
found in the upper end of the embryo-sac among the débris re-
sulting from the disintegration of the synergide. The sur-
rounding protoplasm makes it difficult to observe the first
division of the odsperm and at the present time the youngest
embryo which can be described with certainty is one in the
eight-celled stage represented in Fig. 3. Asseen here the embryo
is nearly spherical, no suspensor being evident, although there
may be one present but obscured by the disorganizing synergid
‘©a.” This is not probable, however, judging from the position
of the first wall in the segmenting embryo. If a suspensor cell
is cut off at all, it very early loses its identity as there is no
evidence of it in embryos of the age represented in Figs.
4-6. Cell division apparently takes place uniformly through-
out the embryo, the result being the building up of a spherical
body (Figs. 4-7). The embryo retains its spherical shape until
composed of several hundred cells. At about this time the
nucellar tissue in the micropylar end of the ovule has entirely
broken down, so that the embryo now lies in a cavity which is
bounded by the inner integument of the ovule. Simultaneously
with the division of the embryonal cell the endosperm nucleus
divides and the young embryo is soon surrounded by endosperm

Lyon: OBSERVATIONS ON EMBRYOGENY OF NELUMBO. 647

nuclei between which thin cell walls are very early apparent
(Figs. 1, 4-7).

Stage B. Monocotyledonous stage.—The spherical embryo
begins to evidence a maximum growth in the horizontal direc-
tion, its greater dimension being diagonal or nearly at right
angles to the longer axis of the ovule. At this time it can per-
haps best be described as a flattened mass or button of tissue
lying in the upper end of the ovular cavity. The surface in
contact with the ovular wall conforms to the shape of the latter.
The free surface is more or less flattened and slightly inclined
to the plane of the horizontal. The plumule (a, Fig. 8) now
arises as a small protuberance on the inclined free surface in a
median line near its lower side. The axis of the plumule is
from the first about parallel with the axis of the ovule,-and as
it grows straight down into the ovular cavity it causes this side
of the embryo, which we will term the front side, to become
flattened. The future cotyledon is now evident as a crescent-
shaped mound of tissue (40, Fig. 8) around the rear of the em-
bryo, its wings extending forward even with the plumule. This
' stage culminates in an embryo as represented in Fig. 8. The
endosperm, during the monocotyledonary stage, forms a co-
lumnar mass of tissue which stands centrally in the cavity, ex-
tending from the embryo to the persistent nucellar tissue in the
lower portion of the ovule.

Stage C. ‘*Dicotyledonous’’ stage.—The cotyledon be-
comes bilobed through the localization of growth at the foci, 6
and 4, Fig. 8. From each of these points a cotyledonary lobe
grows rapidly downward outside the endosperm, the tissue of
the nucellus disorganizing before it (Fig. 10). In cross section
these lobes are crescent-shaped (Fig. 16) and simultaneously
with their elongation growth takes place in both radial and tan-
gential directions, each lobe at its base growing forward around
the plumule. An idea of the relative positions occupied by the
different structures may be derived from Figs. 13-16; cross
sections of embryos which were, however, considerably older
than the one represented in Fig. 9.

The growth of the plumule is slow during this stage, it being
a simple dome-shaped mound of tissue (Figs. 9, 10 and 18)
which comes to occupy a central position through the growing
forward of the cotyledonary lobes.

At about this time the plerome first becomes apparent as a

648 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

strand of somewhat smaller cells running from the plumule di-
rectly through to the base of the embryo (Figs. 12-18). From
this main axis, at a point just above its middle (Fig. 18), lateral
strands radiate outward and traverse the lobes of the cotyledon.
This stage culminates in an embryo as represented in Fig. 9.

Stage D. Mature embryo.—This stage which is reached with
the completion oi intraseminal growth may be discussed under
the following captions :

1. Maturation of the Plumule.—The first foliage leaf arises
on the axis of the plumule morphologically opposite the cotyle-
don (6, Fig. 14) (@. e., on the front side of the plumule axis).
The second foliage leaf arises opposite the first (c, Fig. 19).
The stipules of the first and second leaves grow over and
around the apex of the stem and enclose the next two leaves,
which are also preformed in the seed (Fig. 23). The lysige-
nous cavities of the stem and leaf petioles very early appear,
as seen in Figs. 19 and 22. The structure of the mature plu-
mule has been many times described and needs no further treat-
ment here. Its development, however, may be well under-
stood by a comparison of Figs. 10, 14, 17, 19, 22 and 23.

2. Origin and Maturation of the Radicle.—The radicle
(x, Fig. 22) originates opposite the insertion of the plumule
and is but a vestigial structure not developing into a functional
primary root upon the germination of the seed. It only be-
comes apparent at a late stage in the development of the em-
bryo and is usually completely enclosed by an outgrowth of the
cotyledonary tissue. Fig. 24 shows a longitudinal section of
the hypocotyl of a seedling which had already developed sec-
ondary roots from the epicotyl.

3. Maturation of the Cotyledon.—The edges of the cotyledon-
ary lobes soon meet through tangential growth, thus forming a
tube in which the plumule stands surrounded by the endosperm.
The cells directly beneath the epidermis near the apex of the
lobes remain densely protoplasmic and differentiate into a dis-
tinct palisade tissue (Figs. 20, 21). This undoubtedly forms a
nursing area, being in contact with the lower portion of the
nucellus which persists for some time and is still evident in the
seed as a thicker, more distinct portion of the testa (a, Fig. 11).
The lobes through more rapid elongation soon reach their
maximum length and then by somewhat slower tangential and
radial growth the embryo acquires its ultimate spherical form.

Lyon: OBSERVATIONS ON EMBRYOGENY OF NELUMBO. 649

The integuments of the ovule keep pace with the growth of the
embryo and form the thin testa of the seed which lines the thick
pericarp.

4. Fate of the Endosperm.—The endosperm reaches its max-
imum growth early in Stage C when it forms a considerable
mass of tissue lying between the lobes of the cotyledon (Fig.
16). The cell walls are never firm and offer little resistance
to the growing plumule which forces its way into the center of
the mass. The nuclei soon after begin to disappear and the
cells to lose their definite outline. The resulting débris is
crowded around the plumule by the growth of the cotyledonary
lobes and is apparent in the seed as a colorless structureless
sheath nearly or quite surrounding the plumule.

5. The Embryo of the Seed.—A carful study of the embryo
of the seed without reference to its development brings to light
many conditions not to be found in a dicotyledonous seed. The
lobes of the cotyledon are not separate structures, but have a
common tissue at the base of the embryo upon which the plu-
mule stands (Figs. 11, 22). The sinuses between the lobes are
not of equal depth, the front sinus being deeper than the rear,
so that the common tissue of the lobes (4, Fig. 11) extends
higher up in the rear of the plumule than it does in front of it.
This peculiarity is even more noticeable in the seed of JV.
nelumbo than in that of JV. Zufea illustrated in the figure, and it
is so distinct that it is remarkable that it has not been described
before. The radicle is to a greater or less extent imbedded in
tissue of cotyledonary origin, in this respect conforming to well-
known monocotyledonous types.

THE EMBRYOGENY OF NELUMBO COMPARED WITH THAT
oF OTHER MONOCOTYLEDONS.

In its early development the embryo of /Velumdo is strikingly
similar to that of Prstza described by Hegelmaier (’74, 681-
686. pl. rr. fig. 45-52). The odsperm of Pistza, Hegelmaier
finds, does not cut off a suspensor cell but by uniform divisions
builds up a spherical embryoas in Velumbo. The bifurcation
of the cotyledon is not so inexplicable a deviation from the or-
dinary course of development as it may at first appear. It is
rather to be considered as a modification brought about through
the adaptation of the embryo to the available space within its in-
vestments.

650 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

As the embryo departs from its primitive spherical form it is
evident that its axis lies more or less directly across the ovular
cavity. As the plumule develops superficially near one side of
this flat expanse of tissue the remaining larger surface is to be
considered as that of the young cotyledon. The cotyledon
soon meets obstruction to its further growth in the horizontal
plane and hence turns down into the ovular cavity. Its later
bifurcation is undoubtedly the result of its having to adjust it-
self to the cylindrical cavity in which it grows. That the
shape of the cavity does to some extent affect the shape of the
cotyledon seems to be evidenced by the fact that the cotyledon-
ary lobes are at all times closely appressed to their enclosing in-
vestments. The bifurcation extends along aline of mechanical
stress.

The mature embryo of Velwmbo can perhaps best be com-
pared with those of the grasses, especially one having but a
small amount of cotyledonary tissue below the junction of the
plumule and cotyledon. The embryo of the wild rice, Zezanza
aquatica, as figured by Kennedy (99, fl. 3. fig. 22-24) af-
fords such an example. It has a long epicotyl and a very
short hypocotyl which is imbedded in a small amount of coty-
ledonary tissue. The cotyledon grows around and nearly en-
closes the plumule with a uniform thickness of tissue. In
/Velumbo the conditions are almost exactly similar, except that
the cotyledon in addition to growing around the plumule has
become divided lengthwise nearly to the base into two equal
parts.

THE SYSTEMATIC POSITION OF THE NYMPHAACE.

As indicated above the one character which has led to the
placing of the Nymphzaceze among the Dictotyledons is the
structure of the embryo in the seed. In their other characters
they conform more nearly to the Monocotyledons. The embryo
of Velumbo has been shown to be monocotyledonous in its de-
velopment. Although in the other genera there is present in
the seed a functional endosperm and perisperm, a careful ex-
amination of the mature embryos shows them to be in all essen-
tial respects quite similar to that of Velumbo. Those common
characters, then, which have previously united these plants into
a family justify the conclusion that they agree in embryogeny.
In order to remove all possible doubt the embryogeny of a

number of Nympheacez will be studied during the coming
summer. The Nymphezacee should be classified, in the natural
system, in a subseries Nympheinez coérdinate with the
Potamogetoninee, Alismineze and Butominez in the series
Helobie.

RECAPITULATION AND SUMMARY.

1. Velumbo both in its anatomy and embryogeny conforms
to the type of the Monocotyledons.

2. The two fleshy bodies of the embryo arise through the bi-
furcation of the originally single cotyledon.

3. The membrane surrounding the plumule is, as conjectured
by Wigand, a true endosperm arising within the embryo-sac.

4. The family of the Nymphzacee should be classified
among Monocotyledons in the series Helobiz.

The writer wishes to express his obligations to Professor
Conway MacMillan who has carefully followed the present in-
vestigation, offering many suggestions which have been incor-
porated in the general discussion.

Bruce FINK.

CONSIDERATIONS OF DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT.

The collections upon which this paper is based were made
during the last half of June and all of July, 1900. The region
traversed comprises parts of Ottertail, Beltrami and Red lake
counties in northwestern Minnesota. This region was not sup-
posed, previous to its study, to be a rich field for a lichenist,
but because of its relationship to other portions of the state as to
lichen flora * it seemed necessary that it should be investigated.
Consequently the collection of somewhat more than 200 species
as a result of the most extended collecting trip that I have yet
made in Minnesota fully met my expectations as to probable
results.

The itinerary was so planned as to include regions furnish-
ing the greatest possible variety of substrata, moisture and
other conditions calculated to cause variations as to lichen flora.
Thus the most southern and western points reached were en-
tirely devoid of conifers and possessed an arboreal flora quite
similar to that of the southern portion of the state. These areas
too were near the border between the wooded region to the east
and the prairie to the west. The areas thus briefly character-
ized are those about Battle lake and Thief River Falls. The
southern portion of the territory traversed, studied at Battle
lake and Henning, gave a good view of the high morainic area
of the state with its numerous rounded hills covered with granitic
bowlders and calcareous soil and pebbles and possessing a scant
growth of trees here and there. This southern portion was

also selected to furnish a connecting link with the lichen flora
already studied farther south in the state. To ascertain the re-
lationship of northwestern with northeastern Minnesota, pre-
viously studied, as to lichen flora, two regions, Bemidji and
Red lake, were chosen, having an abundance of conifers and
swamps. ‘These two regions lie to the north and east of the
others previously named and well within the pineries. It is to
be regretted that none of the area studied possessed rock expo-
sures of any sort, similar either to those in southern or in north-—
ern and northeastern Minnesota. These have since been
reached in a study of the northern boundary of the state directly
north of the area now under consideration.

The first area studied was that about Battle lake, about 150
miles northwest of Minneapolis, on the border between the
wooded and prairie regions. The lichen habitats here are
granitic and lime bowlders, earth and trees. The absence of
rock exposures here, as well as elsewhere in the area studied
during the summer, detracted much from the richness of the
flora. The trees in the region about Battle lake are much the
same as those about Minneapolis and in the portions of south-
western Minnesota studied in 1899. This similarity as to ar-
boreal flora, as well as the presence of the granitic and calcare-
ous bowlders gave a lichen flora quite similar to that of the
more southern regions named above. A careful consideration
of these resemblances, such as was undertaken for two regions
in the second paper of this series,* would of itself lead to a
long and laborious article, and must be omitted to give space
for more important ecologic considerations. A noticeable feat-
ure of the lichen flora about Battle lake is that nearly all the trees
growing lichens are common near the lakes and in heavy woods
back from the lakes, but rare in woods back from the lakes and
not heavy. All this is much like the conditions about Minne-
apolis, as discussed in the second paper of this series.t| How-
ever, turning to the rocks, they were found literally covered with
lichens even up to the very hill-tops in the morainic area south
of the town. The whole number of species of lichens collected
about Battle lake is 111. Comparing this with the numbers

hitherto recorded for various well-studied localities in the state
in this series of papers, we find the region slightly poorer in
lichens than any other region in Minnesota having as much va-
riety as to substrata.

The next collecting station was at Henning, about 35 miles
to the northeast. This area was selected especially for the
study of the flora of the Leaf hills to the south of the town and
for that of the tamarack and spruce swamps, which were not
found farther southwest. Prominent among the floral elements
of the swamps are species of Usnea, Parmelia caperata (L.)
Ach., Parmelia saxatilis (L.) Fr., Alectoria jubata (L.) Tuck.
and Cetrarza ciliaris (Ach.) Tuck. Other species will be listed
toward the close of these considerations in the discussion of
formations. Passing from the swamps to the Leaf hills three
miles away, all of the above species become rare or entirely
wanting, though the two Parmelias are more frequent where
large trees extend, in a few places, to the tops of the morainic
hills. /t:nodina sophodes (Ach.) Nyl. and Arthonia lectdeella
Nyl., become abundant on the shrubs of oak, poplar and birch
in the hills. These hills probably reach an elevation of 1,800
feet south of Vining and form the hightest morainic area in the
state. The drift bowlders and pebbles of granite and limestone
extend to the very summits of the hills and furnish an excellent
field for the study of lichen formations, especially of granitic
bowlders. The calcareous matter of the drift has been ground
fine as powder or left as small pebbles. The soil contains
enough lime so that the lichen formation characteristic of cal-
careous earth is well developed, and the limy pebbles also
support a well developed calcareous rock-lichen formation.
Black peak about four miles south of Vining is an especially
good place for the study of the last two formations, which will
receive careful consideration later in this paper. It may be
noted in passing that the lichen flora of this second region is a
much richer one than that first studied near the border of the
wooded region, where the morainic hills are less developed,
where trees are less numerous and of fewer species and where
the tamarack swamps are wanting. In the region about Hen-
ning 140 species and varieties were collected in about the same
time as was required to find the 111 at Battle lake.

Passing on to the next area studied at Bemidji 75 miles
north of Henning and well within the pineries where there is

660 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

more variety as to trees, 154 species were collected, though the
calcareous formations were entirely absent and the granitic only
poorly developed. The disadvantage due to absence of granitic
and calcareous lichen formations seemed to be more than offset
by the unusual richness of the formations of the tamarack and
the cedar swamps and the earth under the pines. As this was
my first opportunity for a careful study of these three forma-
tions, and the tree formations were also especially rich as well
there, somewhat more time was taken for the collecting at Be-
midji than elsewhere. However, notwithstanding the scarcity
of any kind of bowlders and the absence of rock exposures,
the Bemidji region may be regarded as one of the richest lichen
floral areas in Minnesota, while Henning with its greater variety
of substrata and favorable conditions is scarcely inferior.

From Bemidji I passed to Thief River Falls, about 80 miles
to the northwest. Here I found a territory composed for the most
part of low flat prairie, but with good woods along the banks
of Red lake and Thief rivers. The trees are mostly birches,
poplars, oaks and elms, forming a monotonous arboreal flora
by no means favorable to the production of a large number of
lichens. Inspection of the list of species and varieties recorded
for this region will show that only 43 lichens were found on
these trees to compare with more than twice as many on trees
at Bemidji, and that these 43 are in general the most common
of Minnesota lichens growing on trees. Marshes are frequent,
and devoid of trees; or having the same species as grow on the
higher ground, sustain no peculiar lichen species. Both granitic
and lime bowlders are frequently seen in the region, but they
are almost totally bare of any sort of plant life. Doubtless this
is due partly to fires which frequently run over the prairies. In
places pastured for several years so that fires have not occurred,
lichens are beginning to take possession of the rocks. Yet it is
difficult to explain the absence of lichens along high bowlder-
strewn river banks, as in certain localities toward St. Hilaire,
on any supposition. It will be very interesting to note the in-
crease of lichen flora on the rocks of this region as the country
becomes settled more densely and fires are kept out. In order
that this may be done, I record the few lichens now occurring
rarely on these rocks.

The earth lichen flora is as poorly developed as that of the
trees and rocks, and the whole known lichen population of the
area comprises only 78 species and varieties and is the most
scanty yet studied in the state, except that at Pipestone, where
trees are almost wholly absent.

The last collecting ground was at Red lake, some 65 miles
east and somewhat south of Thief River Falls. This area is
about 36 miles north of the one previously studied at Bemidji
and has a lichen community very similar. Here the only
bowlders that gave any noteworthy results were those along the
lake shore, and the lichens on them were, all but three or four,
of the same species as those growing upon the adjacent trees.
With this dearth of rock lichens the territory, probably not
quite so thoroughly studied as the one to the south about
Bemidji, gave only 120 lichen species and varieties.

Compared with other portions of the state of equal size,
whose lichen floras have been investigated, this one is some-
what the poorest in lichens. The number collected is little
larger than that found in southwestern Minnesota, but should
be considerably larger, as fully one-third more time was taken
for the collecting. The Lake Superior region gave 258 lichen
forms in about the same time as was spent in making the col-
lections in northwestern Minnesota. However, this is what
would be expected since the former area is more diversified as
to climate, the portion near the lake having many arctic and
subarctic species, while the northern and western portions
yielded essentially the same species as the region now under
consideration. Then too the absence of the great exposures of
igneous rocks of the Superior region has already been noted
for the present one, in which only 58 species and varieties of
lichens, or about 28 per cent. of the whole lichen flora, were
found on rocks, whereas nearly 50 per cent. of these plants in
the former region were collected on the rocks. The occurrence
of about three-fourths of the entire number of lichens of the
whole area under consideration in one small area about Bemidji
demonstrates that little of the difference in the composition of

662 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

the flora of various portions of the territory is due to edaphic
causes. What variety exists is due for the most part to the
partial extension of the conifers, tamarack swamps and calcar-
eous soil, bowlders and pebbles over the region.

The comparative richness of different collecting grounds as
to lichen species has been noted in passing. It may be added
that the number of species occurring in each place and not else-
where found bears some relation to the whole number of species
found in each area studied. Thus Battle lake with a total of
111 collected has 7 not collected elsewhere. ‘The numbers for
other collecting grounds are: Henning 140 and 18, Bemidji
154 and 31, Thief River Falls 78 and 2 and Red lake 120 and
14. Comparison of the numbers shows, as would be expected,
that the number of rare lichens collected in the best collecting
grounds is in much larger proportion to the total number col-
lected than in the areas less favored as to lichen flora, where
one finds only the commonest species.

Of the 41 lichen species recorded in the fourth paper of this
series as arctic or subarctic,* the following seven occur in the
region considered in this paper, while no new northern forms
were discovered.

Ramalina pusilla (PRev.) Tuck.

Usnea cavernosa Tuck.

Stereocaulon paschale (L.) Fr.

Cladonia deformis (L.) Horr.

Cladonia digitata (L.) Horr.

Biatora leucophea (FLK.) Tuck.

Buellia petrea (FLor., Kr.) Tuck.

The other species not new to Minnesota are in general those
found farther south in the state. Thus the prediction, as to re-
semblance of the present flora to that farther south in Minne-
sota, made in the fourth paper of this series,t seems to be fairly
well established, though the extreme northern boundary of the
state west of the Snowbank lake area remains to be considered
in the next paper. Of the genera having northern species in
northeastern Minnesota, Solorzna, Heterothecium, Beomyces and
Umébilicaria were not found in the area now under consideration,
nor was there found more than a single genus, Me/aspilea, new
to the state. Moreover, the paucity of lichens in northwestern

as compared with northeastern Minnesota extends to genera as
well as to species, so that 36 genera were found in the former
area and 39 in the latter. This would be expected when we
notice that all the seven northern species recorded above belong
to genera occurring in the southern half of Minnesota, while
the four genera named above as not occurring in northwestern
Minnesota also have no representatives in the southern half of
the state, being for the most part the most strictly northern gen-
era thus far found in Minnesota.

The summer’s collecting brought to light 48 species and va-
rieties new to the state, of which 9g are new to North America
and 3 new, while another 3 are yet undetermined. The dis-
covery of so large a proportion of new material nearly one-
fourth of all species collected, after other parts of the state had
been for the most part, well studied, is somewhat of a surprise,
and seems to indicate that there is yet a good number of lichens
to be found in Minnesota. As to forms new to North America,
this paper adds a larger number than all the previous lists pub-
lished for the state.

The genus Caliccum deserves special mention because of the
interesting facts disclosed when the material collected was care-
fully studied. Previously nine species and varieties had been
recorded for the state, and though the genus is not an arctic or
subarctic one, I had not expected to find it well represented in
territory otherwise closely related to the southern half of Minne-
sota as to lichen population. Consequently, I was not a little
surprised to find ten species in my collection, one more than had
hitherto been reported for the state, and yet more when I found
that six of the species were new to the state, thus raising the
number of Calzccwms in Minnesota to 15 species and varieties.
We now have found within the state about half of the forms of
the genus recorded for North America, and Caliczum can no
longer be regarded as a genus peculiar to the Atlantic region.
The cause of the extension of members of the genus into a re-
gion closely related with southern Minnesota as to lichen flora
is to be found in the circumstance that the Calczwms seem to
follow the conifers regardless of slight climatic changes. While
some other genera furnish each a few species new to the state,
or not found further south in Minnesota, there is nothing espe-
cially noteworthy about the distribution of any of them, as the
species are in general such as could be expected to occur farther
south, and may have been overlooked.

664 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

It now remains to follow out the ecologic study begun in the
fifth paper of this series,* pursuing the general plan of study
introduced there. First of all I shall consider some of the for-
mations therein recorded and draw some comparisons. As in
the former paper I shall consider especially the more common
lichens, which give character to the flora and lichen formations
of the state. Beginning with the lichen formation of the ex-
posed granitic bowlders about Battle Lake, the formation may
be designated as follows:

This formation may be compared est with the si milar one
upon the exposed granite at Granite Falls.* As might be ex-
pected the Battle lake formation confined to the bowlders
suffers somewhat in comparison with that at Granite Falls,
which is developed upon extensive exposures of granite. The
number of lichens in the formation at the former place is 24
and the number at the latter 31. Species common to the two
similar formations I have marked (C), and those found at
Battle lake only are marked (B). Of the ten species found at
Granite Falls and not at Battle lake, Parmelia conspersa
(Ehrh.) Ach. deserves special mention as being unaccountably
rare in the region covered by this paper. The entire absence
of another of the ten, Bzatora rufonigra Tuck., from the region
is quite as remarkable. The other eight are lichens either not
widely distributed in the state, or not common on granitic rocks.
Eight of the species of the formation recorded above have oc-
curred in all of the four localities in the state in which similar
formations have been recorded. ‘These may be considered the
most constant elements of such formations in Minnesota, and [I
have marked them (X). The formation is also well developed
in the Leaf hills, but nothing would be gained by recording it.

As to the general character of the lichens of the formation,
all but the first three and the first Zecanora are strictly crusta-
ceous, and this last plant, as well as the foliaceous Placodium,
is nearly as closely adnate to the substratum as the crustaceous
forms. The less adnate foliaceous species have a well-devel-
oped cellular cortex on all sides for support and for protection
against too rapid evaporation of moisture in their exposed
and dry habitat. Of the crustaceous species, the Placodiums
have good upper and some of them a lower cortex, the Lecan-
oras have either an upper only or none, while the Azzodinas,
except possibly the first, have no cortical layers; and the last
statement applies to the Buelas as well. The forms, having
no cortex or a poorly-developed one and growing in such a dry,
exposed habitat, have very small thalli. A large foliaceous
lichen with no cortex, as a Co//ema for instance, could hardly
exist in the present formation. Finally the lichens of the for-
mations are a few foliaceous species with well-developed cortex
above and below, but still quite closely adnate, and a much
larger number with no cortex or an upper one only, but having

666 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

very small thalli, and though epilithic yet very closely adnate,
so that moisture easily passes into them from the rocky sub-
stratum below.

Next may naturally follow the mixed lichen formation of
shaded granitic bowlders.

Physcia hispida (ScurEB., Fr.) Tuck.

Physcia obscura (Euru.) Nyt., C.

Of the 12 species of the formation probably having migrated
from trees near by, seven marked (C) are common to all of
the six similar formations studied in the state,* but none of the
four elements naturally belonging to the rocks are common to
the similar formations.

Comparing these lichens with those of the exposed rock
formation above, we find an entirely different type of thallus
to prevail, viz., the foliaceous type of the Parmelias and
Physctas with thalli having well developed cortical layers.
And as would be expected in an ombrophytic lichen formation
having such thalli, the plants are not so closely adnate to the
substratum as those of the exposed rock formation, but are

* Fink, B. 1. c., 290-293.

Fink: LICHENS OF NORTHWESTERN MINNESOTA. 667

more loosely attached by rhizoids. However, those undoubtedly
belonging to the rocks have poorly developed thalli with no
cortex or an upper pseudo-cortex, and Verrucarta muralis Ach.,
an intruder usually growing upon calcareous rocks in exposed
places, is essentially hypolithic. That the three forms having
poorly developed and epilithic thalli should seek ombrophytic
associations is, of course, natural enough.

The Cladonza-Peltigera formation of shaded earth was found
remarkably well developed under the pines at Bemidji. The
table of species below shows 20 forms. The formation here,
though containing the same genera as the similar one farther
south,* is twice as well developed, being especially rich in
Cladonzas, which flourish under the pines. I have marked (C)
the five species common to the similar formations noted for the
state, as being the most constant elements of such formations,
at least in Minnesota. I shall now record the formation and
follow with a discussion of structure of the lichens composing it.

668 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

Comparing the lichens of this formation with those of the
shaded rock formation above, we find that, as a result_of the
more moist habitat of the forms, growing on earth in shade and
usually on an abundance of decaying vegetable remains which
hold moisture, the formation consists of plant individuals even
less closely attached to the substratum, except perhaps the
Collemas, which have no cortex and which, therefore, even in
their shaded situation, remain close to the substratum to absorb
the moisture which is rapidly evaporated from their non-cellular
surfaces. The Peltigeras with a well developed upper cortex
hold moisture better and rise somewhat higher. The podetia of
the Cladonzas have a surrounding pseudo-cortex of densely
interwoven hyphe, which serves for protection against too
rapid evaporation of moisture as well as for mechanical sup-
port. Hence the Cladonzas rise vertically and are especially
numerous as to species and individuals in this moist and shaded
formation, as well as unusually luxuriant. Thus it appears
that we have in this formation, as in those already considered
plants adapted in very different ways to the environment.

The remarkable constancy of occurrence of certain floral
elements in certain environments can scarcely be better illus-
trated than by comparing the calcareous earth lichen formation
given below with similar ones recorded in the fifth paper of this
series for Granite Falls, Minnesota, and Fayette, Iowa.*

BIATORA DECIPIENS LICHEN FORMATION OF EXPOSED CALCA-
REOUS EARTH (LEAF HILLS).

Endocarpon hepaticum Acu., C.

All of the six floral elements recorded in the present forma-
tion and marked (C) are also listed in the formation at Granite
Falls and Fayette, and each of these last two contains a single
rare species not discovered in the Leaf hills formation. As in
the localities previously studied, the formation in the hills is best
developed on the hill-sides where the plants are washed with
the lime-impregnated water which flows down the slope during

* Fink, B. l. c., 295-296.

Fink: LICHENS OF NORTHWESTERN MINNESOTA. 669

rains, and it may be regarded as well established that such a
sloping surface is best adapted to the development of the forma-
tion.

As to structural adaptations to an exposed and usually dry
habitat, the lichens of the formation all have small thalli and
are closely adnate. The rudimentary thallus of Bzatora mus-
corum (Sw.) Tuck. has no cortex, and the somewhat better de-
veloped one of the Urceolaria has only a poorly developed
pseudo-cortex above. Of the larger and better developed thalli,
that of Bratora decipiens (Ehrh.) Fr. has a very heavy cellular
cortex above, the Hxdocarfon has a well-developed cortex on
all sides while the Hepfpza is cellular throughout. In these
larger thalli growing in exposed dry places, the cellular areas
serve of course not only for support, but also for protection of
the alge within and against excessive evaporation; nor must it
be supposed that any of these thalli are large for a really large
thallus is seldon seen in such a formation, and if present at all,
should be considered an accident in plant distribution not to be
recorded. The four better developed thalli are then only large
in comparison with the other two and average about 3 to 6 mm.
in diameter. The two rudimentary thalli of the formation are
able to persist because very small and closely adnate.

Comparing next the lichen formation of the calcareous peb-
bles of the same area with the same two for the Minnesota and
Iowa localities used above,* we find that the adding of another
Minnesota locality still leaves the same five species common (C)
to such formations for the two states. This third formation of
the kind recorded below, establishes a general resemblance of
such formations in widely separate localities.

The lichens of the above formation have small thalli, closely
adnate or even more or less strictly hypolithic. All except the
last Verrucarza, which is hypolithic, and Lecanora privigna
(Ach.) Nyl., which has a very rudimentary and evanescent
thallus have more or less of a cellular or pseudocellular cortex
above. None except the first Lecanora, which has the largest
thallus in the formation, showed any indication of such structure
below. ‘The upper cortex gives these better developed but still
small thalli sufficient protection against evaporation and adapts
them to their dry station.

The lichen formation for trees with rough and smooth bark
at Bemidji are in general quite like the corresponding ones
recorded for Mankato and Granite Falls,* but are rather richer
in species. I record them below as they may be of use in the
further study of the lichens of northern Minnesota.

Inspection of the list of plants given above for the rough
bark formations based on characters of substratum, shows
lichens varying widely structurally and adapted to the forma-
tion in very different ways. There are the Bzatoras, which
usually occur in the more moist and shaded spots in this
scattered formation and have small thalli usually without cellu-
lar cortex. The same may be said of the Bxellzas and the
‘Acolium, while the Lecanoras, Placodiums, and Pertusarias
usually have somewhat larger thalli and some indication of an
upper cortex at least. Even more rudimentary than any of the
above are the thalli of the Opegraphas, Graphies, Pyrenulas
and the Conzocybe which are hypophleeodal and thus protected.
However the Col/emas without cellular cortex rise to the foli-
aceous type, but seek very damp and well shaded habitats.
The Leptogium, with upper cortex only, seeks damp places
also. Next may be considered the Zheloschistes, Parmelias
and Physczas with foliaceous thalli having good cortex on all
sides, and which are not so closely adnate to the substratum as
the crustaceous forms. Finally we have the fruticulose type of
structure represented in the formation in the Aeamalinas and
Usneas. These plants have a good cortex on all sides though
not cellular at least in the first genus, and in well shaded and
moist portions of the formation are quite common. This for-
mation furnishes the most variety as to methods of adaptation
of any herein recorded.

Fink: LICHENS OF NORTHWESTERN MINNESOTA. 673

The lichens composing the smooth bark formation are not so
various in type, including only the more crustaceous and rudi-
mentary types of those given above. The more developed
forms with more specialized rhizoids usually fail to gain a foot-
hold on the smooth bark.

Next in order may be considered the formation of old wood.

This formation is given a slightly different designation from
the similar ones previously recorded for Mankota and Granite
Falls * because of the absence of old boards in the new country
about Bemidji. The formation recorded in this paper is similar
to the two formerly recorded, but much richer, especially in
Calicec, for which group the formation is named. Yet the
three Calicez formations recorded for the state show more varia-
tion than other related formations and have only four (C) com-
mon species of a total of 23. Moreover, not a single member
of the Calicez is common to the three formations. From some
hasty observations made in 1897 in the Lake Superior region, t
I had come to believe that certain Calzccums normally grow on
rotting wood. Careful observation in 1900 showed that all

found during that summer at least belong to living or to dead
wood formations though occasionally the plants on dead wood
may persist after the wood has begun to decay perceptibly at
the surface.

The lichens of this formation are of the small, closely adnate
or hypophceodal crustaceous type with upper cortical protection
in the Lecanoras and Placodiums and none in the Arznodina,
the Lecidea, the Buellias and the Caliczums. The substratum
is a dry one usually, as I have not concluded the more damp and
more frequently rotting logs of the tamarack swamps, which
have their own peculiar formation recorded below. Hence, the
crustaceous type of thallus is especially adapted to the forma-
tion. True the Calczums put up the minute erect podetia, but
these are solid cylinders of hyphe running in a longitudinal
direction and usually quite devoid of the algal symbionts which
might suffer from dryness.

The last of the formations to be compared with those studied
in 1897 in southwestern Minnesota is the following.

Comparing this formation with the corresponding ones at
Mankato and Granite Falls,* we find that the formations are
constant at least as regards genera, the one herein recorded for
a region, especially rich in C/ladonzas, being of course richer in
species than the two formerly studied. The addition of a third

locality has only diminished the number of common species (C)
by one. Like the very similar Cladonza-Peltigera formation
recorded above, this one is especially developed under the
pines. Indeed, it hardly seems necessary to separate them in
the region now under consideration.

The adaptations of the plants of the formation are similar to
those fully discussed under the Cladonia-Peltigera formation.
Briefly then, the Pe/tigeras, having only an upper cellular cor-
tex, lie flat on the substratum, while the C/adonzas, protected
on all sides by a pseudo-cortex, rise vertically and become
luxuriant in the moist and shaded habitat.

Next in order I shall consider a number of formations some-
what studied in the Lake Superior region in 1897, but not yet
recorded for the state, as it was then found impossible to take
sufficient data in the rapid survey of a region fully one fourth
of whose lichen flora the writer had previously known only
through herbarium specimens or not at all. In the second sur-
vey of a somewhat similar region, I was able to take sufficient
field notes upon which to base an ecologic study of lichen for-
mations peculiar to the region as well as those previously
known. These formations, new to the state, will be recorded
for more than one place as far as possible.

First of all I shall record the formation of the pine trees,
naming it for the Usnez group which give character to this
plant community :

USNEI LICHEN FORMATION OF THE PINES (RED LAKE).

Cetraria ciliaris (Acu.) Tuck. (cones).

Cetraria juniperina (L.) Acu. var. pinastri AcH.

Evernia prunastri (L.) Acn. (cones).

On approaching a pine woods one is impressed with an ap-

676 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

parent dearth of lichens, but after a careful study he becomes
convinced that the plants are common enough when the trees,
the fallen branches and the earth are carefully observed. The
foliaceous Parmelias, Physctas, etc., so common on the decidu-
ous trees, are not so frequently seen, but the pines certainly
have their own peculiar formations, composed of lichens found
of course on other substrata in various parts of the state. The
variety of Cetrarza juniperina (L.) Ach. and the Caliczum lu-
celium (Th. Fr.) Fink are perhaps the most characteristic ele-
ments of the formation, as they are seldom seen elsewhere than
on the conifers, though by no means common even in this for-
mation. The similar formation was studied at Bemidji, and
the only difference is that Lecanora subfusca (L.) Ach. replaces
the variety. As indicated in the list of species, a number of the
plants are as common or more so on the old cones as on other
portions of the trees. Careful comparison of this formation
with the Parme/ez formation of trees with rough bark will dem-
onstrate that the two are quite distinct, though resembling each
other in some respects.

The adaptations of the lichens of this formation are some-
what various. They have been discussed somewhat under the
rough bark formation above and will be further noticed under
the Usnea formation below. However, while it is apparent that
the fruticulose lichens of the U/szez group seem well adapted to
the swamp Usnea formation given below where moisture is
abundant, I have not been able to satisfy myself that the pines
of the higher ground furnish more moisture than the deciduous
trees of similar grounds. I suspect that the plants in this in-
stance and in the formation given below for the swamps are
quite as much influenced in their choice of habitat by an adap-
tation to coniferous wood as by amount of moisture. And I
may add here that in other portions of this paper I have not
taken into account any adaptations of the lichens to substrata of
certain physical or chemical composition. The subject is a
difficult one as yet little understood, and moreover I am con-
vinced from observation that, beyond the well-known fact that
some lichens prefer rocks, calcareous in some instances and
granitic, etc., in others, while others prefer trees and in some
instances a particular species or genus, the conditions as to shade,
moisture, etc., are the important ones in determining the habitats
of lichens and the composition of lichen formations.

Fink: LICHENS OF NORTHWESTERN MINNESOTA. 677

I studied the lichens of the earth and rotting wood under the
pines with a view to establishing a formation; but the plants
were found to be so similar to those of the C/adonza lichen for-
mation of rotten wood and the Cladonza-FPeltigera lichen for-
mation of shaded earth previously established that I have
recorded them above in these formations, though possibly I
have done violence in not separating them in this region for the
sake of correlating results with former work in another area.

Because of close relationship to the above formation, I shall
next consider the U/snea formation.

USNEA LICHEN FORMATION OF TAMARACKS IN SWAMPS

Physcia hispida (Acu.) Tuck., C.

Calicium trichiale Acu. var. cinereum Nyt.

The formation was afterward carefully examined at Bemidji
and Red lake and was found to be a very characteristic one.
At Bemidji were found all of the above-marked (C) and /rama-
lina pusilla (Prev.) Tuck., Cetraria gunrperina (L.) Ach. var.
- pinastrt Ach., Alectoria jubata (L.) Tuck. and Caleczum
chrysocephalum Ach. in addition. The Red lake formation
contained all of the species found at Bemidji except the last two,
so that those marked (C) are the ones common to the three
similar formations.

The dominant elements in this formation are the Usneas, the
£vernia and the Alectorza, which in the moist swamps and pro-
tected on all sides by a pseudo-cortex of closely arranged
hyphe, hang suspended or grow up from the substratum in
fruticulose fashion. With these occur the less characteristic
elements whose structure has been fully discussed and whose
adaptations may be easily inferred. Though, as stated in the

678 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

discussion of the Uszez formation of the pines, the plants may
be adapted to the coniferous wood as well as to the moist habitat,
it remains to be stated that the same species are both more
numerous and more luxuriant in the swamps than on the upland
pines.

The following formation must be regarded as somewhat
doubtful till further studied.

STICTA PULMONARIA LICHEN FORMATION OF CEDAR SWAMPS
(BEMIDJI).

Sticta pulmonaria (L.) Acu.

Nephroma levigatum Acu.

Lecanora pallida (SCHREB.) SCHAER.

Lecanora pallescens (L.) ScHAER.

Pertusaria communis DC.

Calicium chrysocephalum Acu.

There is no doubt of the distinctness of the formation in
the region as none of the plants were found elsewhere during
the summer than in the cedar swamps, except the last which
was also found in the tamarack swamps. The plants of the
formation grow in dryer places in other regions and seem to be
as well adapted to upland woods as many other lichens recorded
for the tree formations of higher ground.

The swamps afford yet one other characteristic formation
well developed in the area studied wherever tamaracks and
cedars flourish. It may appropriately be designated as follows:

Fink: LICHENS OF NORTHWESTERN MINNESOTA. 679

Calicium trabinellum (ScHAER.) Kzr.

Calicium parietinum Acu.

The similar formations were studied at Bemidji and Red
lake, and the species marked (C) were found in each of the
three formations. For Bemidji may be added Beatora virides-
cens (Schrad.) Fr, and for both Bemidji and Red Lake, Cetrarza
juniperina(L.) Ach. var. pinastr¢ Ach. Although occurring
in the same area as the second formation above on the living
tamaracks, the present one will be found by comparison to be
quite distinct both as to genera and species.

Growing in moist areas, the lichens of the formation are
almost uniformly those which rise more or less from the sub-
stratum. Nearly all are the Cladonras and Caliciums, which
have podetia rising erect from the substratum and are protected
on all sides by a pseudo-cortex of densely interwoven hyphe
running in a longitudinal direction.

The earth lichen formations of the swamps were carefully
noted and were found to be essentially like those of Cladonta
formations of rotten wood recorded above, at least as to genera.
I shall record the formation provisionally that it may be further
studied and shall name it for a variety of Peltzgera thus far
found in the state only in the swamps.

The similar formations were studied at Henning and Red
lake. Those marked (C) are common to the three formations,
those marked (R L) were found at Red lake only and the one
marked (B and H) at Henning as well as at Bemidji. The
adaptations of the plants of these formations are, of course, the
same as those of the lichens of the Cladonza formations of
rotten wood.

680 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

The following formation was distinctly discernible in the low
woods about the tamarack swamps near Henning, the species
composing it being unusually abundant. From the frequence
of Pertusarzas rare elsewhere in-the region studied during the
summer, I shall name it as follows:

PERTUSARIA LICHEN FORMATION OF TREES IN LOW WOODS
(HENNING).

Physcia obscura (Enru.) Nyu.

Collema flaccidum Acu.

Collema nigrescens (Hups.) Acu.

Leptogium myochroum (EuruH., SCHAER.) TUCK.

Pertusaria velata (TurN.) NyL.

Pertusaria pustulata (Acu.) Nyt.

Biatora glauconigrans Tuck.

Biatora rubella (EuRH.) RAs.

Biatora varians (Acu.) Tuck.

I failed to find such a formation elsewhere in the territory
explored. The plants in the formation grow on the common
deciduous trees of the area, whereas at Bemidji and Red lake
the swamps were surrounded for the most part by pines. Asa
whole the various adaptations of the plants are not difficult to
detect. It is a little peculiar that the species of Physcza, be-
longing to this damp formation, belongs to the section of the
genus having a well developed parenchymatous cortex rather
than to the one having a non-cellular cortex of closely packed
hyphe. The Collemas with their non-cortical thallus and the
Leptogium with a cortex of a single layer of cells are, of course,
quite at home in such a damp habitat, as are the Bzatoras with
their thallus devoid of cortex. The Pertusarzas have a fairly
developed upper cortex.

The last formation to be recorded is a scattered one detected
in shaded places at Bemidji, which may be designated as
follows :

BIATORA LICHEN FORMATION OF MOSSES (BEMIDJI).
Pannaria languinosa (Acu.) Kr.
Biatora vernalis (L). Fr.
Biatora spheroides (Dicxs.) Tuck.
Biatora hypnophila (Turn.) Tuck.

Fink : LICHENS OF NORTHWESTERN MINNESOTA. 681

The first and last Bialoras are the common elements of the
formation and may be found in this habitat commonly at Be-
midji. The last Bzatora is the only plant of the formation
noticed elsewhere in such environment, nor were the other two
Biatoras found elsewhere during the summer. The formation
was observed in the Lake Superior region at Gunflint, where
the second Bzatora was wanting, and in the Snowbank lake
area, where the first one did not occur. The plants of the for-
mation all have rudimentary thalli devoid of cortical layers and
are well adapted to the moist shaded habitat on the damp shaded
sides of tree bases where they spread over the mosses.

Nearly all of the formations herein recorded are more or less
scattered in the sense explained in the fifth paper of this series.*
In this paper as in the others I have avoided attempting too
close analysis as to amount of illumination, roughness of bark,
amount of moisture, and have omitted from the lists of plants of
the various formations those rarer lichens whose adaptations
seemed most doubtful. Yet in attempting a detailed study of a
single group of plants, I feel sure that, if I have erred at all, it
has been in including some doubtful elements in a few of the
formations. In general, I have found that one can attempt an
amount of minute detail in such a study which could only be
carried out by a long study of a single locality and which would
probably not be more helpful than such general survey as I feel
that I have been able to conduct in the field with some degree
of success.

Notwithstanding the recording of 16 distinct formations for
the region now under consideration and only 14 for southwest-
ern Minnesota, I still adhere to the statement already recorded
in this paper that the conditions of lichen growth are more uni-
form in the former area. The greater diversity in the latter ter-
ritory may be seen in the fact that there is a larger amount of
difference between similar formations in the various parts of the
region, due to more variation in amount of moisture, shade,
etc., and in the circumstance that some of the formations bear-
ing different names in the former region are very much alike.
On account of this greater uniformity of conditions under which
similar formations seems to have developed, it has been even
more difficult than in the preceding papers to ascertain why cer-
tain species are found in a formation at one place and not in the

* Fink, Bile Cs, 2075

682 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

similar formation at another. I have, consequently, seldom at-
tempted such explanations in this paper.

In the present paper, after a more extended study of lichen
formations in the field, I have attempted a more minute discus-
sion of structural adaptations based upon careful study of thalli
in the laboratory. This analysis has not in most instances de-
tracted from the apparent genuineness of the formations, though
in some it has not been possible to show that every plant is
structurally adapted to the formation in which it occurs.

Throughout this paper I have referred only once to the in-
fluence of physical structure and chemical composition of sub-
strata as influencing the distribution of lichens and the compo-
sition of lichen formations. Inthe beginning, doubtless, lichen
species were influenced in their choice of substrata by their
adaptations to light, shade, moisture and other conditions,
though of course such physical conditions of substrata as in-
fluence transfer of moisture are also to be considered as they
have been in my discussicns, as have also roughness and
smoothness of surface. No doubt both physiological and an-
atomical changes frequently result in lichens from adoption of
certain substrata, but it is well known that the conditions of
life in lichens are such that they are not so much dependent
upon or influenced by their substrata as are most other plants.
Thus a large proportion of lichens occur commonly upon sub-
strata of the most varied chemical composition and physical
structure, provided the conditions of light, moisture, etc., named
above are favorable. ‘Therefore these factors must, for the
present at least, receive chief attention in the study of ecologic
distribution of lichens, though the more difficult and less im-
portant subject of the influence of physical and chemical make
up of substrata is well worth attention. Doubtless in the
struggle of lichen species for possession of substrata, adapta-
tions to chemical composition of substrata sometimes play an
important part. For instances, the crustaceous lichens of the
calcareous rocks and earth produce a fat which is probably
utilized by the plants for purposes of nutrition. Hence, as
these plants can build up the fats from material obtained wholly
or in part from the calcareous substrata, they would have an
advantage over lichens which can not thus utilize the carbon
of the rocks, in the struggle for possession. Lichens produce
other chemical compounds, some of which are doubtless depen-

Fink: LICHENS OF NORTHWESTERN MINNESOTA. 683

dent upon the nature of the substratum. To what extent these
compounds are of use to the plant, or in what degree they are
derived from the substratum is little known. ‘Till these prob-
lems are solved we can hardly hope to discuss intelligently the
influence of chemical composition upon distribution.

I am under obligations to Dr. A. Zahlbruckner, of Vienna,
Austria, for aid in the determination of several of the species
listed below, and also to Dr. E. Wainio, of Helsingfors, Fin-
land, for examination and determination of the larger part of
the Cladonzas.

XL. CORALLINZZ VER OF PORT RENFREW.

K. Yenvo, /tigakushi,

SCIENCE COLLEGE, IMPERIAL UNIVERSITY, TOKYO.

I had the opportunity of studying seaweeds during the sum-
mer of 1901, at the Minnesota Seaside Station at Port Ren-
frew, Vancouver Island, B. C. The vicinity of the laboratory
is extremely rich in marine life and afforded a good number
of examples. I paid special attention to calcareous alge, in
which branch I have been deeply interested. Returning with
the specimens to the Botanical Institute of the University of
Tokyo, I carefully examined the Coralline (vere) and pre-
pared the present paper. Other specimens belonging to the
subfamily Melobesiz have been sent to Mr. M. Foslie, of Nor-
way; his paper should also appear in a short time.

The material was partly dried and partly preserved in alco-
hol, the accompanying photographs being taken from the latter.
The sections were made from alcoholic material by microtome,
after decalcifying in Pereny’s fluid. Amphiroa tuberculosa and
a few other thick plants were not satisfactorily decalcified by
the solution and the author found the following mixture specially
suited for the purpose:

Paleolials: AWSOMUG 2 om Sus assayed ale ox no oars 20 6.0m
Guromic, acia,, 0.5 per .cemt.. sc). )./:' ss - BOL eh:

The sections were stained after my usual method. One
brings down the sections to pure water, and stains with Boemer’s
haematoxylin for 20-40 minutes ; treat with acetic acid if neces-
sary, and then dip in fuchsin (0.3 gr. in 100 c.cm. of 50 per
cent. alcohol for one hour; go per cent. alcohol, abs. alcohol,
xylol, balsam. The spores and spore-forming cells stain in red
and the cell-walls of the vegetative cells in purple.

HABITAT OF CORALLINZ AT PorT RENFREW.

The coast near the Minnesota Seaside Station chiefly consists
of sandstone beds spreading horizontally. The beds are coy-
ered with water at high tide, and drained at low tide, leaving
a good number of pools. The Coralline are mostly found

iis

Yendo : CORALLINAE VER. 713

between the tidal marks as well as in the pools. Amphiroa
tuberculosa and Amp. cretacea f. tasmanica are found at the
depth of 2-5 ft. below the low-water mark or the surface of the
pools: the former species assumes very diverse forms when it
is found at the margins of the pools, or between tidal marks.
So also do Corallina officinalis var. chilensis, and Chetlosporum
MacMillanz; but the latter two are not infrequently found in
more shallow water. Cor. vancouvertensis and its variety, on
the contrary, are in most cases found at the margins of the
pools, and in the region a little above the low-tide mark. They
are also found epiphytic on the shells of Mya which cover the
enormous area of the drained beds, thus making it easy to col-
lect the entire bunch of the plants. Chel. frondescens is also
found in similar positions. Chezl. plantusculum is also an in-
habitant of the pools, but slightly below the margins. When
it grew above the water mark the frond is mostly stunted, appar-
ently forming a granular mass. In the tide pools high above
the water-level Cor. aculeata is generally found; water in such
pools is mostly brackish, at least during the ebb tide hours ; and
the plant seemed to be able to adapt itself to it. This might be
the probable cause why the ultimate articuli of the branches of
this species are insufficiently calcified. Nevertheless, Cor. van-
couveriensis, Cherl. californicum, Cheil. planiusculum, etc., may
also be found in these brackish pools without any apparent modi-
fication in the characters of their fronds. Briefly speaking, Cor.
vancouvertensts is an inhabitant of the shallowest water, and
Amp. tuberculosa, as it were, of the deepest. The latter view
may be corroborated by the fact that we often find the frag-
ments of Amp. tuberculosa growing attached to the holdfast of
NVereocystis Liitkeana hauled up out of water 20-50 feet deep.

Cor. pilulifera and its varieties which are abundantly found
in Kamtchatka and in the northern part of Japan could not be
found at Port Renfrew. Their places seem to be taken by
Cor. vancouveriensis and Chel. planiusculum. The habitat
of these is much like that of the typical form of Cor. oficinalis
or Cor. squamata.

Cheil. frondescens which was described by Ruprecht* col-
lected in Unalaska is common at this coast. Areschoug + re-

marked Ruprecht’s plant to be probably a dwarfed form. This
remark is true so far as my determination is correct; our plant
is little larger than Ruprecht’s f. maxima mzhi being twice or
more as large as his plant.

No specimens of ,/anza could be found. The water at Port

Renfrew seems to be too cold to admit any member of this —

group. We are able to give only one datum here: the tem-
perature of the water % ft. below the surface of a tidal pool,
10°.4 C.; 1 ft. below the surface of open sea 10°.2 C.; Atm.
temp. 17°.55 C.

The plant found at Port Renfrew is identical with the Tas-
manian form and not with Amp. cretacea, which was collected
in Unalaska by Ruprecht. As has been already remarked by
Kiitzing (7. c., p. 23), Amp. tasmanica Sond. is quite similar to
Amp. cretacea Endl. and it might better be reduced as above.

Not rare: 2-5 ft. below low-water mark, also in pools.

= Amphiroa californica in Prov. Museum at Victoria, B. C.
Judging by the figure delineated by Postels and Ruprecht
(2. c.) our plant may be readily referred to the present species.
It attains to 3-5 inches in its height with subdichotomous or
lateral patent branches. The articuli are extremely variable in
their form: those of the basal portion are invariably subcylin-
drical; those of the upper and the middle portions, cordate or
sagittate, sometimes cylindrical or clavate; the cordate or sagit-
tate articuli are more or less compressed and generally with
subevident rib on the shaded surface: the terminal articuli are

oor

Yendo: CORALLINZ VER. 715

normally subcompressed obovate but sometimes globular or
linear. The conceptacles are slightly bulged out, two to several,
mostly immersed in the shaded side of a cordate articulus.
Geniculi linezeform.

A branch is often simple with homogeneous cylindrical ar-
ticuli. Plants with lots of this sort of branch are likely to be
confounded with Amp. cretacea Endl. or the preceding forma.
But the occurrence of the cordate articuli is the character upon
which to separate the present species. Amp. epiphlegnoides
seems to me quite similar to this plant. I mention it here as a
synonym, however, with doubt, as I have not seen any authentic
specimen of Agardh’s plant.

Common: 2-5 ft. below low water mark, not seldom found,
several fathoms deep.

As the original description of this plant was given somewhat
briefly, a few other species have been mistakenly identified with
it; and Areschoug counted it under the ‘species inquirendae”
(7. c.). We have a specimen of Amp. californica Dene., col-
lected at Oregon and determined by Dr. Farlow. Our plant is
exactly similar to this specimen and at once accords very well
with Decaisne’s description.

Ruprecht’s illustrations and description 7. c. precisely coincide
with f. tyfzca. Areschoug remarked in J. Ag. Spec. Alg. Z. c.
that the original plant might have been a tiny form of the spe-
cies. We have at Port Renfrew plants often attaining to several
centimeters in height.

f. ¢ypica is a densely cespitose plant, irregularly pinnated ;
the lowermost pinnz attain to the length of the main stem, and
thus give the appearance of trichotomy. The articuli are com-
pactly arranged, the lower margin of an articulus in contact
with the upper margin of the subsequent one. Conceptacles
are mostly found two to four in number and placed on the
shaded surface, often, however, solitarily immersed at the
angles of a deltoid articulus.

f. max7ma is distinguished from the other forme by its large
and compressed articuli at the upper portion of the branches.
These articuli measure 2-5 mm. broad, 1.5-2 mm. long and
are often cleft at their lobes. The branches are not so dense as
in f. ¢ypzca.

f. zntermedza is characterized by having the upper portions of
the fronds revoluted downwards while it is yet young. The
articuli are rather less wide than those of f. ¢yfzca and in every
partthin. The lobes of the articuli are angled and consequently
more loosely arranged.

f. polymorpha attains to a length of scarcely one inch and
has its articuli thick and rough. Its form is very variable, some-
times assuming quite an aberrant appearance (Pl. LVI., Fig. 6,

Yendo: CORALLINZ VER. Th

6a) so that we could not suppose it to belong to this species,
had it not been provided with some normal branches in a portion
of the frond (Pl. LII., Fig. 4).

Although I distinguish these four forme, intermediate forms
between them are naturally met with. Especially f. zxtermedia
and f. polymorpha are likely to be confounded with the abnormal
forms of Chezl. planiusculum. In this case the external thick
margin of the apical articuli and the robust stipes are the impor-
tant characters of this species to separate it from the latter. The
apical articuli of Chezl. planiusculum are mostly thin and com-
pressed, and the stipes are delicate filiform. Nevertheless, it
would not be an unreasonable supposition that the hybrid between
Chel. frondescens and Cheil. planiusculum may occur in nature.

Common: between tide marks, also in pools.

The present plant is extremely variable in the shape of its
articuli, and sharp definition is hard to give. Kiitzing counted
four forme in the original description (7. c.) though I could not
find any form referable to /. /ac¢nzata. The other three forme
may be found mixed together in one bunch of the plant, often
branches of different forms occurring in one individual. In an
extreme instance, especially in a plant growing at high-tide
mark, the frond becomes a moniliform filament with a few
articuli of the normal shape (Plate LII., Fig. 3). Generally
speaking, the articuli of the upper and middle portions are
sagittate, with lobes thin, delicate and sharp at the upper angles,
and with evident ribs at the middle; the pinnules are thin,
spatulate or lanceolate. As the consequence, an articulus is
not approximate with its adjacent ones as in Chedl. frondescens

f£. ¢ypeca (comp. Pl. LVI., Fig. 4, and Pl. LVI., Fig. 10).

718 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

The delicate moniliform stipes, and the thin external margin
of the apical articuli are the important characters of this spe-
cies to distinguish it from the preceding species.

Comparatively common; low tide mark, also in pools.

szepe incrassatis; conceptaculis verruceformibus in utraque
facie instructis vel subcompressis in apicibus pinnularum im-
mersis, nonnunquam pyriformibus pedunculatis.

This plant has its articuli of the upper part of the main
branches more highly elevated on the ventral side than on the
dorsal. The articuli of the lower portion are thick and monili-
form, gently compressed upwards: in the upper and middle
portion they become hexagonal or truncated, shorter than the
breadth.

According to the description* of Amphiroa wardi Harv. and
Amp. mallardie Harv., the present species has some common
characters with them so that I hesitated for a time to name it as
a new species. But the attachment of the conceptacles of our
plant is rather peculiar, only one similar example being hitherto
known in Chezl. maximum.+ The eramiferous articuli of the
pinne of ours are lineari-sagittate with lobes projected upwards ;
and the articuli of the upper portions of the main branches are
hexagonal, much broader than the height. These various char-
acters may easily distinguish ours from Harvey’s plants. Not
common; low-tide mark.

The sterile specimens of this variety have been collected at
Hakodate, a port in the northern part of Japan. As they lacked
the conceptacle I was not able to satisfactorily determine the
species and included them under the Cor. officinalis L. The
specimens collected at Port Renfrew are fortunately fertile and
accord very well with the description and figures of Kiitzing’s
Tab. Phyc. and at the same time correspond with the Hakodate
specimens.

As I before noted (/. c.), this plant is a somewhat variable
form to be counted under the species Cor. officinalis L.

The pinnules of this plant are characteristic : they are brittle,
delicate and confusedly branched. The ultimate articuli of the
main branches as well as some of the young pinnules are al-
ways weakly calcified; and the apices of these articuli are
liable to shrink in the exsiccation. In other respects it is
closely allied to Cor. vancouverzensis f. typica, so that it might
be taken as a local form caused by the mode of habit. Indeed
a young and sterile frond of this species is hardly separable from
it, if the apical articuli were not weakly calcified.

Common; high-tide pools.

XLI. OBSERVATIONS ON PTERYGOPHORA.

Conway MacMItuian.

Among the larger and less thoroughly studied kelps of the
Pacific coast, Plerygophora californica Ruprecht has seemed
worthy of some attention. <A fine series of specimens was se-
cured during the summer of 1901 at the Minnesota Seaside Sta-
tion on the west coast of Vancouver Island, and while all points
in the anatomy and life-history cannot be elucidated from the
material in hand, it has seemed best to present an account of
such structural and developmental facts as have been observed.

The name, Pterygophora californica, appears for the first
time in botanical literature in Ruprecht’s Algen-Stamme,* in
1848. In this work no description is given of the genus and
species, Ruprecht contenting himself with the statement that
the new genus is intermediate between Capea (Eck/lonia) and
Alaria—a point of view which has been but slightly modified
by later study—and that it will be elsewhere described. In
this work, however, there is given some account of the anatomy
of the stem and the characteristic annular structure seen in the
cross section is mentioned in the following phrase: ‘* Alle
(zuweilen bis 9) Ringe deutlich und gleich stark sind.” It is in
this paper, also, that Ruprecht announces the presence of muci-
lage ducts in Plerygophora, an observation which has since
been questioned by Areschoug.

The formal description of Pterygophora californica, together
with a plate which leaves something to be desired, is presented
by Ruprecht in his ‘* PAlanzen aus dem nérdlichen Theile des
Stillen Oceans,” ¢ published four years later. The specimens
upon which the déscription of Ruprecht was based were col-

lected by Wosnessenski in the vicinity of ‘* Ross” (that is, near
San Francisco) on the coast of California in July, 1840. The
material communicated to Ruprecht comprised some middle-
sized plants and some younger specimens, but did not, appar-
ently, enable him to see either the sporelings and unilaminate
stage or the mature, full-grown form. Consequently his meas-
urements need modification and the specific description should
be revised to include much larger plants. Anderson is the only
one who has written on the plant in whose account a knowledge
of full-sized plants is indicated. ‘In his Natural History of
Santa Cruz county * it is stated that the stem is from one to six
feet in length and that the leaves are from one to five feet
long, ‘¢ all without a midrib except the central one into which
the flattened stem seems to be lost, giving it the look of a mid-
rib...

It was from Anderson that Areschoug received his specimens
of Pterygophora upon which, together with those of Ruprecht
sent him from the collections of the Academy at St. Petersburg,
he based his brief study as set forth in Observationes Phycolo-
gice.f In this paper Areschoug gives in compact form the
generic and specific description and adds some observations and
corrections to the earlier account of the Russian botanist.
Areschoug observes that the number and nature of the growth-
rings in the trunk seem difficult to define. He is skeptical con-
cerning the lacune muciferz, although he retains in his revised
description of the genus the phrase ‘‘ ad peripheriam internam
annuli intimi collocata, interdum biseriata,” crediting the ob-
servation to Ruprecht. He reéxamined the younger specimens
upon which Ruprecht’s original account was based and gives a
condensed description of them. The youngest plant seen ap-
pears to have had a stipe 20 cm. long and 2-5 mm. broad with
a lamina 35 cm. long and 6-7 cm. broad. As will be seen later
my own plant, ‘* B”’, indicates that these measurements, based
upon dried material, need correction. Areschoug received mate-
rial from ‘* Vera Cruz,” California (meaning Santa Cruz), sent
him by Dr. Anderson and notes, doubtless upon the authority of
Anderson, that the plant grows also at San Francisco. In

Anderson’s List of California marine alge,* Plerygophora cali-
fornica is recorded as ‘‘common or occasional to all the Cali-
fornia coasts.” The southernmost record of its occurrence that
I have happened to find is in Orcutt’s Flora of Southern and
Lower California.t The plant is here credited to San Diego,
based upon collections by Daniel Cleveland. The northernmost
point from which specimens have been taken seems to be Port
Renfrew, Vancouver Island, B. C., giving the plant a range of
over 16° of latitude. It very probably, however, extends up
the Alaskan coast. In some observations upon the distribution
of Pterygophora, Setchell t notes that the characteristic Lami-
nariee, Agariee and Alarieze of the North Pacific ‘‘stop at
about Puget Sound which is the terminus of the isothere of 15°,
but Costarta turner? Grev. and Alaria esculenta (L..) Grev. con-
tinue to Monterey, nearly to the 20° line, although they are
found only at ‘ exposed points.’ . . . An interesting case is that
of Pterygophora californica Rupr. which is reported by Dr. C.
L. Anderson as growing at Monterey all the year round, but is
reported by Mr. Daniel Cleveland as occurring at San Diego
only from February until May and in deep water.” This state-
ment seems to be based upon the account of Plerygophora given
by Hervey § in his Sea Mosses in the preparation of which he
had the assistance of Dr. Anderson. Plerygophora, therefore,
seems to have a somewhat wider range than the majority of the
North Pacific Laminariacee. The plants collected at Port Ren-
frew were so abundant and robust that I am inclined to think
that the region of maximum development may be along the
British Columbian rather than along the Californian coast.
Ruprecht’s plants were Californian; those of Areschoug were
from the vicinity of Monterey, as was also the specimen of
Hervey: the specimens of Cleveland from San Diego do not
seem to have been recorded as of unusual size. The plants of
Port Renfrew, some of them with trunks nearly three inches in
diameter and eight feet in length, exceed the recorded measure-
ments and indicate thus a particularly luxuriant growth in that

region. The measurements given by different authors are as
follows: Ruprecht (I. c.), stipe 6-9 inches long, laminz up to 2
feet long; Areschoug (I. c.), stipe 30 cm. long, lamina up to
one meter in length; De Toni,* stipe 30 cm. long, lamina up
to one meter in length (measurements evidently quoted from
Areschoug); Hervey (I. c.), stipe 2 or 3 feet long, lamina 2 feet
or more long; Setchell (1. c.), stipe 1 to 2 feet long, measure-
ment of leaves not given; Anderson (lI. c.), stipe 1 to 6 feet
long, lamina 1 to 4 feet long. Of these measurements, Ander-
son’s is the only one that is approximately correct for the aver-
age plant as observed on the Straits of Fuca.

The first specimen of Pterygophora seen on the Vancouver
coast was a battered and eroded stem which had been cast up
by the tide. It was between six and seven feet in length and
2.5 inches in thickness near the base. Later another specimen,
not quite so large, was extracted from a pile of wrack at the head
of a little cove and this had a few dilapidated leaves still
attached. Examination of the shore yielded several speci-
mens, some of which were in an excellent state of preserva-
tion, but a few days later some growing beds were discovered
and the plant was observed in more detail. Its selection of an
habitat is interesting. A favorite place for its development
seemed to-be on the bottom of deep, narrow chasms in which
there was from twelve to fifteen feet of water at low tide. It
occurred abundantly on the bottom of a circular hole commu-
nicating with the sea by a narrow deep inlet and exposed to
heavy surge. It was afterwards found that this was its
characteristic position and that it habitually came closer to the
rocks than either Vereocystis or Macrocystis. It preferred
stations where the water was constantly in motion and did not
seem so abundant in quiet coves. As a surge plant it grew
lower than Lessonza and it may, perhaps, be described as oc-
cupying the lowest position of the surge kelps along this coast.
To this precise locality the plant shows certain structural adapta-
tions. The holdfast is massive, enabling it to cling firmly to the
rocks, notwithstanding the strong movement of the sea. The
stem is exceedingly stout—being indeed one of the strongest
algal structures known—and is capable of resisting great
tensile strain. While not particularly elastic it is bent from
side to side without difficulty or damage to its structure. The

long leaves, often as many as forty in the tuft, hang down
beside the stem and as the plant bends from side to side they
are swept along the bottom, thus accounting for the erosion
of their ends so characteristic of this species. The central
lamina is invariably eroded, and only the younger and shorter
pinne are perfect, all the older ones having lost their tips
through the constant brushing back and forth on the rocky
bottom. The relative lengths of the leaves and of the stem are
regulated by this habit of the growing plant and where the
surge was most violent plants were to be found with compara-
tively long stems and short leaves, but where the surge was
less violent the leaves and stem were more nearly the same
length, or the leaves might some of them even exceed the
stem.

The general appearance of young Plerygophora plants as
seen upon the bottom is not unlike that of /Vereocystzs. Their
attitudes with the erect stem and the dependent leaves are very
similar. The older Pterygophora plants, from their much
more massive stem and shorter leaves, can be distinguished at
a glance.

In order to collect an abundant series of Plerygophora califor-
nica use was made of a tool which may be described as a combi-
nation of chisel and hook on the end of a long slender pole, by
which the holdfasts were cut and the plant dragged to the sur-
face. In this way a sufficient quantity of material was ob-
tained from which four plants of different ages are selected for
description.

Plant ‘‘ A.” This is the youngest specimen seen. It meas-
urés 12 mm. in length, of which the stipe and primitive disk
constitute but 2 mm., the rest being lamina. In this plant the
lamina is already eroded distally. It measures 5 mm. across at
its broadest part and narrows down abruptly to the stipe, which
is 5 mm. in diameter. The primitive disk, almost exactly cir-
cular in'shape, measures 2 mm.in diameter. At first the growth
of the stipe in length is decidedly slow, but when the lamina
has become about 20 mm. in breadth the stipe begins to elon-
gate. In plants under 30 mm. in length the poorly defined
midrib of Pterygophora has not begun to develop and the lam-
ina seems perfectly homogeneous throughout. In this respect
the plant is in marked contrast with A/arza sporelings, for in
them the midrib will have already strongly developed in plants

of corresponding size. The young forms of Plerygophora
californica show the characteristic shape and developmental
sequence of the Laminariacee, resembling particularly young
plants of Laminarva saccharina.

Plant ‘‘ B.” This specimen was collected by Mr: K. Yendo
and was kindly presented tome by him. Itis apparently of about
the same age as Ruprecht’s youngest plant. The whole plant
is 35 cm. in length, of which 10 cm. is holdfast and stipe,
and 25 cm. lamina. The lamina is 8 cm. in breadth at its
broadest part. The tip is eroded, as usual, and in this particu-
lar specimen the margin is imperfect. The stipe is 8 mm. in
diameter, 3 cm. below the base of the lamina, and 5 mm. in di-
ameter just above the holdfast, where it is circular in cross-sec-
tion. It is, however, elliptical in cross section near the base of
the lamina, the stipe being flattened in the plane of the lamina.
In this specimen the midrib is beginning to differentiate and is
well-marked for a distance of 5 cm. above the base of the lam-
ina and faintly marked for 10 cm farther towards the tip.
Distally it quite disappears. Certain hapteric outgrowths are
decidedly long and slender in this plant—much more developed
than ordinarily.

In plant ‘* B,” less than 1 cm. below the base of the lamina,
are seen two small emergences, opposite each other on the sides
of the stipe. These are the growing points destined to produce
the first pair of pinne.

Plant «*C.” This is a somewhat older individual in which
twelve pinne have been developed. The whole plant is 45 cm.
in length from the holdfast to the eroded tip of the central
lamina. From the holdfast to the lowest pinna is 15 cm. In
this plant the four lower pinne are of a deep chocolate brown
color and very much eroded and perforated. They present
some points of anatomical interest as will be indicated later.
The upper pinne are olive brown in color and the four upper-
most have perfect tips, characteristically rounded, giving to the
whole young pinna a distinctly spatulate shape. In texture
these young pinne in the fresh plant are quite unlike the sporo-
phylls of A/arza with which they have been compared. To the
touch they feel not unlike thin sheets of celluloid. The central
lamina has a more leathery feel, like Lamznarza or Lessonia.

In this plant the stipe is 8 mm. in diameter, midway between
the holdfast and the pinne. In the region of pinne it is de-

MacMillan: OBSERVATIONS ON PTERYGOPHORA. 729

cidedly flattened, measuring 9 mm. in width by 3 mm. in thick-
ness. The pinne do not stand always directly opposite each
other, although this in general is their position. Abortion of
one pinna of the pair may be observed in this plant at two points.
The base of the pinne is more attenuate than that of the cen-
tral lamina. The holdfast is partly cut away, but is flattened
out and compacted much more than in plant B.

Plant «*D.” This plant was collected in July, preserved in
formalose, and brought to Minneapolis for study. It was found
growing with several others about twelve feet below the surface
of the water at low tide. The stipe from the holdfast to the
lowest pinne is 2 meters in length. From the lower pinne to
the base of the central lamina is 1 dm. while the central lamina
is I.5 meters in length. On each side of the stipe, extending
along its margin for a little less than a decimeter, are the tufts
of lateral pinne, twenty on each side. The longest pinna with
uneroded end measures I meter, but pinne with eroded ends
are present, 1.5 meters in length. The breadth of the central
lamina is 1 dm., the midrib being 4 cm. broad. The broadest
pinna measures 7.5 cm. from margin to margin. All margins
of full grown pinne are undulate. This character is especially
marked in the central lamina. One difference between a plant
of the age of ‘‘D” and a younger form such as ‘*C” lies in
the distance between the adjacent pairs of pinne. In plant
«¢C,” for example, the upper pinne are three cm. apart along
the stipe and this character is also indicated in Ruprecht’s
plate. In an older plant, such as‘‘D,”the pinne are very
much crowded together, so much so, indeed, that they crowd
each other out of a strictly marginal position. The fully de-
veloped pinnae, in ‘‘ D” are all massed within a linear distance
of 5 cm., while in ‘* C” they are distributed over twice as much
space.

The stipe in this specimen is 5 cm. in diameter, 2 dm. above
the holdfast. Near the holdfast itis 1 dm. in diameter. Nearer
the pinnz it becomes flattened in cross section, first appearing
as elliptical, then as lenticular, the edges becoming sharp 2 dm.
below the lowest pinne. Along the sharp edges the scars of
pinne which have been sloughed off are abundant. ‘The stipe
in the region of pinna attachment is 3 cm. broad and 7.5 mm.
thick. The stipes of the full-grown pinne are 4 mm. in diameter
and the base of the central lamina is 1 cm. broad and 3 mm, in

thickness. A transsection through the stipe of this plant shows
24 concentric rings of growth not all of which were of equal
thickness. The pith at the center has the lenticular outline
characteristic of arborescent Laminariacez and was 8 mm. by
2 mm. in cross section. The pith occupies a greater portion of
the cross section nearer the region of pinne. Just below the
pinna scars a cross section showed it to be 3 cm. in length by 3
mm. in width.

From the measurements of this plant, by no means the largest
seen, it becomes apparent that the size of Plerygophora cali-
fornica has been much underestimated, previous descriptions of
it having been made from immature material. There seems to
be no reason to doubt that this plant is perennial. It gives every
structural indication of persisting for a series of years and re-
plenishing its pinnz with the recurring seasons. Its massive
stipe and the base of the central lamina survive the winter
storms and in the spring fresh pinne are produced and the
central lamina is extended by the well-known basal growth
characteristic of the family to which it belongs. In this way,
doubtless, very large plants may develop. There is one frag-
ment in our collection comprising the pinna region of a plant
which by comparative measurements must have been four meters
or more in length. The flattened stipe between the pinne is 6
cm. broad and the base of the central lamina measures 3 cm.
in width.

The relation of the genus Prerygophora, to the other genera
of the Laminariacee has been a matter of some uncertainty.
Ruprecht regarded it as intermediate between Ack/lonza and
Alaria. Agardh* associates Pterygophora with Alaria. Ares-
choug takes it up between Lessonza and Ecklonza, but this per-
haps can scarcely be regarded as an expression of his opinion
regarding its true position. By the older systematists the genus
has been connected closely with Lamznarva and it occupies a
position next to Lamznarza in De Toni’s Sylloge Algarum and
also in Kjellman’s Laminariacee (1. c.) where Plerygophora is
placed between Lamznarta and Ecklonza in Tribe VI., Lami-
nariez. Setchell (1. c.) connects the genus with A/arza under
the Tribe Alariidee. The mid-lamina of Plerygophora is
strongly suggestive of certain species of the genus Lamznarza,
so much so that when Areschoug described Laminaria

* Agardh, J. G. De Laminarieis, Lund Univ. Arsskr. 4: I.

v*

MacMillan: OBSERVATIONS ON PTERYGOPHORA. ial

japonica,* Agartht suggested that the type specimen was
nothing other than a mid-lamina of Plerygophora. While this
notion of Agardh’s was incorrect, a comparison of specimens or
reference to Suringar’st plate of Lamznaria japonica will make
it clear how natural might have been such a supposition on his
part. One also finds in the genus Lamznarva forms suggesting
the pinnate disposition of lamine in Plerygophora. Such a
plant is figured and described by Kjellman§ under the name of
Laminaria radicosa. In this plant lateral outgrowths occur
upon the stipe below the lamina in quite the same position in
which they are developed in Pterygophora. They are not,
however, functional as additional laminz, nor do they particu-
larly increase the photosynthetic vigor of the plant. Lamznarza
radicosa may, nevertheless, be regarded perhaps as showing a
transition to the type of Plerygophora.
_ There are some objections to the classification of Pterygo-
phora with Alaria. Among these, the character of the young
plant should be given weight. In A/arza the midrib is dif-
ferentiated at an early stage and is exceedingly distinct in plants
only two centimeters in length, while in Pterygophora plants
35 centimeters in length show the midrib but indistinctly in
the basal portion of the lamina. Anatomically Plerygophora
conforms to the type of the Laminariez in the general character
of its tissues, differing in some marked particulars from A/arva,
although resembling the latter in absence of mucilage canals—
structures which are present in most species of Lam/naria.
The distinction of outer and inner cortex which is not always to
be made out in Al/arza is very clear in Pterygophora. Upon
the whole there would seem to be little objection to the classifi-
cation of Plerygophora in the tribe Laminariee. Taking every-
thing into account, however, it will perhaps be best to consider
the genus as transitional between the Laminariee and the
Alariidee.

An examination of the anatomy of Plerygophora seems
further to strengthen the view of its close relation to Laminaria,
while the differentiation of its organs no doubt makes it readily

comparable with A/arza. The structure of the stipe differs
decidedly from that of ZLessonza which I have previously ex-
amined.* In both genera there are strongly marked growth-
rings which, as will be seen, do not arise in precisely the same
way. A detailed account of the anatomy follows. From it
some notion may be derived of the histological interrelation of
Pterygophora, Laminaria and Lessonia.

The most important literature on the anatomy of the Lamina-

riacee has been previously cited ¢ and it will not be necessary ~

to refer to it further at this time except as some particular point
may require elucidation. To the papers of Wille, Grabendorfer,
Reinke, Rosenthal, Oliver, Ruprecht and-others students are
indebted for researches which have laid the foundation for a
knowledge of the anatomy of the Laminariacee.

The holdfast.—The study of this structure as of the other or-
gans of Pterygophora is based upon a series of slides prepared

from material collected at the Minnesota Seaside Station,’

killed in chromic acid, and transferred into 70 per cent. alcohol
in which condition it was brought to Minneapolis for study.
Most of the sections have been cut freehand, treated with various
reagents and stains and mounted in glycerine-jelly. _Russow’s
callus reagent, chlor-zinc iodide and a variety of stains, includ-
ing particularly the fuchsin and iodine-green combination and
aniline water safranin, have been employed to bring out de-
tails of structure.

The primitive disc shows no points of special interest, not
differing particularly in structure from that already described
for Vereocystis,t nor at first do the hapteric branches in their
origin and structure show characters worthy of especial com-
ment. The haptere originates through the activity of a circu-
lar cambial area at the edge of the primitive disc or from the
lower rhizogenous area of the stipe. Callosities on the stipe,
such as those described for Vercocyst7s and there believed to be
equivalent to hapteric branches, have not been discovered in
Pterygophora, though on one specimen some curious gall-like
swellings, doubtless teratological or pathological in their nature,
were observed. The numerous hapteric outgrowths of Ptery-

gophora branch dichotomously and build a strong holdfast re-
sembling that of Zessonéa rather than that of Vereocystzs.
Each young hapteric branch, in cross section, shows the char-
acteristic structure, a great central mass of parenchymatous
tissue surrounded by an ill-defined cortical area with an hypo-
dermal cambium. No pith is present and the growth in length
and thickness of the hapteres proceeds solely by cambial ac-
tivity. Inolder holdfasts distinct growth-rings appear—some-
thing that was not seen in the holdfasts of Lessonza, and seems
not to occur in the hapteric branches of /Vereocysézs, the indi-
viduals of which are shorter-lived. The appearance of these
rings of growth in the secondary cortical tissues of the holdfast
seems to be due rather to rhythmic changes in the character of
the cell contents than to regular successions of larger and
smaller cells, concentrically arranged. As will appear, this
character serves to distinguish to some extent between the
growth-rings of the holdfast and of the stipe. In both organs
the elements of the secondary cortex are arranged in extremely
regular rows, as seen in cross section. This regularity of ar-
rangement does not extend to the primary parenchymatous
tissue of the hapteric branch, so that the appearance of a cross
section of the older hapteres may be described as follows: At
the center is a large more or less circular group of parenchy-
matous elements regularly hexagonal in outline, varying in size
between rather narrow limits. Towards the periphery this cen-
tral tissue imperceptibly merges with the secondary tissue, the
cells of which become more quadrate in outline and assume the
characteristic position in rows which can be followed without
break directly to the cambial zone which lies near the periphery
of the organ. Inthe secondary tissue there are numerous rings
of growth and the cross section of an old haptere, a centimeter
or more in diameter, looks not unlike a section of stipe, save
for the absence of the characteristic lenticular pith. This is
altogether wanting in the hapteres. The growth-rings do not,
however, appear to arise consistently through quite the same
anatomical conditions as those of the stipe. Well-marked rings
in the holdfast may exist without difference in the size of the
elements of which they are composed. The optical appear-
ance, therefore, is in all hapteres examined determined by dif-
ference in the cell contents. A zone of cells will be formed in
which the contents seem to be more dense. Outside a zone, in

734 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

which the contents are less dense, will appear, and this alter-
nation continues even into the cambial zone where single layers
of cells will be found with the denser contents alternating with
layers showing the opposite appearance. Besides this differ-
ence others have not been discovered to account for the ringed
appearance of old hapteres.

As to the substance in the cells which by its greater density
gives the ringed appearance it does not seem to differ from the
material which has been studied by a number of observers,
especially in the Fucacez. It has been described by Reinke *
as a fatty oil, in which view Hansen f practically coincides and
considers that the Pheophycee in general produce fat instead
of starch by their assimilation. The same material, however,
has been described as Phzeophyceenstarke by Schimper, as
fucosan by Schmitz and Hansteen, as showing a tannin reac-
tion by Berthold, as phloroglucin-containing material by Bruns,
as connected with physodes by Crato and as polysaccharids, in
constitution allied to mucine, by Koch. In the holdfast of
FPterygophora the material sometimes fills the whole cell with a
homogeneous refringent mass, which in the denser parts of the
ring has decidedly the same appearance optically that is shown
by the polysaccharid granules of the lamina and stipe to be de-
scribed later. In other instances the refringent bodies may be
distinguished from a generally granular protoplasmic slime
which encloses them. Without going into the disputed ques-
tion of the true chemical character of the cell-contents of Lami-
nariacez, it may be said that the ringed appearance of hapteric
branchesin Pterygophora is due to the alternately more vigorous
and less vigorous production of certain substances connected
with the assimilative processes of the plant. These substances
occur in the stipe and lamina as well as in the hapteres, but are
there not invariably the cause of a ringed appearance, being
disposed in special cells without any apparent reference to the
rhythm of secondary growth.

The stipe.—Sections were taken first from plant ‘‘ B,” the uni-
laminate stage and then from mature plants. In none of them
could the mucilage ducts of Ruprecht be discovered and

MacMillan: OBSERVATIONS ON PTERYGOPHORA 735

Pterygophora may safely be described as devoid of these
canals. Thecross section of a young stipe shows the character-
istic lenticular pith-web, composed of anastomosing filaments
with numerous trumpet hyphe intermingled. Chloroplasts
are abundant in this tissue and occur more or less sparingly in
the perimedulla. Surrounding the pith one finds the cells of
the cortical tissue very regularly hexagonal in shape, arranged
in remarkably perfect radial rows and diminishing gradually in
size towards the periphery. Chloroplasts are absent from most
of the cells of this tissue, but appear again, in the smaller
cells near the periphery. At about the depth at which chloro-
phyll becomes abundant the tissue is lacuniferous and the outer
cortex readily separates from the inner. The cells of the
outer cortex are generally not hexagonal, but cambial condi-
tions cause them to assume the rectangular outline in cross
section. The small densely colored cells of the epidermis and
hypodermis are uniformly quadrangular. Longitudinal sec-
tions through material of this age show the inner cortex to be
made up of prosenchymatous elements not pitted or armed and
the walls comparatively thin in the region near the pith, but
becoming thicker-walled and beginning to present the pitted
structure closer to the periphery. The cells of the outer cortex
seem to have a special capacity for dividing transversely and
periclinally in young material, but in older stipes they divide
radially with equal ease. In mature stipes the extraordinarily
regular radial rows of cells seen in cross sections may be ob-
served to originate from rows of cambial cells which have
divided radially in the outer cortex and have there established
the general radial arrangement of the tissues.

Sections through the mature stipe show a structure of the
organ in cross section reminding one very much of the tracheids
and their arrangement in the Coniferee. The pits, however,
are not upon the radial faces of the elements, but upon the con-
centric. The cells are all of about the same size and stand in
rows radiating in a most regular fashion from the pith to the
circumference. There is often not the slightest difficulty in
observing that the appearance of growth-rings is due to the
gradual diminution in the diameter of the cells until they have
become distinctly flattened, followed abruptly by the production
of cells of slight! «%rger lumina. That is to say, the occasion
for the ringed ar ‘ance of the stipe is structurally quite com-

736 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

parable with that condition so fully studied in the stems of
Coniferze and woody Dicotyledons. In other instances, how-
ever, the rings in the stipe seem to arise quite as in the
hapteres.

There is in the stipe of Plerygophora a plain distinction be-
tween the first or primary structure of the cortex and the second-
ary structure which is established in the lacuniferous period of
growth. It is at this time, during the first year, that the outer
cortex readily peels from the inner. Later, with the resump-
tion of growth in thickness, the lacune are filled by the radially
dividing cambial tissue. The tissue of the first or innermost
ring, surrounding the pith, differs in appearance from that of
subsequent rings. The cells diminish in diameter towards the
periphery of the ring until they have the look of stereome in
cross section. In this part of the ring the cells are very strongly
pitted, in marked contrast to the inner cells of the primary cor-
tex where the pits are but occasional. All the cells, however,
of the secondary cortex as displayed in subsequent growth-
rings are strongly pitted. Another distinction between the cells
of the innermost ring and those of subsequent rings is that the
elements of the first ring are slenderer, more prosenchymatous,
almost approaching the fibrous shape peripherally, while the
elements of later rings are shorter, more parenchymatous and
not at all suggestive of fibrous tissue.

In older stipes the pith web is decidedly solid, in marked con-
tradistinction to this tissue in young material. As the stipe
matures the interstices between the elements of the pith web
become obliterated by the repeated branching and interlacing of
the filaments. The chlorophyll also disappears and the cells
become filled with densely granular contents. There remain,
however, in even the oldest pith, numerous interstitial passages
which, in cross section or longitudinal section, present much the
same appearance and are, perhaps, what were mistaken for
mucilage ducts by Ruprecht.

A cross section of the mature stipe shows then the following
characters. At the center is the solidly interwoven tissue of
the pith web. This is surrounded by the clearly marked,
sclerenchymatous tissue of the primary cortex passing insensi-
bly into the tracheid-like tissue of the secondary cortex which
is arranged in concentric rings, resulting from the succession
of elements with larger cell-lumina in apposition upon those

MacMillan: OBSERVATIONS ON PTERYGOPHORA. 737

with smaller. Outside of the rings will be found the cambial
zone in which regular divisions take place in all three planes of
space. Exterior to the cambial zone lies a thin outer cortex
composed of cells very much smaller than those of the inner
area, provided with thick walls and constituting a kind of bark
for the trunk. In some material the general cambial zone can
be very distinctly seen, ten or twelve cells in thickness and
separated from the epidermis by twenty or more layers. Not
infrequently the cells at the periphery of a ring of growth have
more densely granular contents than those of the general sec-
ondary cortex tissue. Thus, occasionally in the stipe there may
arise the anatomical conditions which seem to be more normally
characteristic of the holdfast. The photographs of different
cross and longitudinal sections which are presented will serve
to make these points clear where the description is necessarily
difficult to follow.

The /amina.—As before stated only the central lamina is pro-
vided with a midrib, the pinne being quite devoid of such a
structure. The midrib of the central lamina arises through an
hypertrophy of the cortical tissue, in which th: pith-plate does
not seem to partake. The general structure of the lamina as
seen in cross section does not present many peculiar features,
but is much like that already described for other genera. There
is on each surface an isomorphic epidermis composed of small
quadrate chlorophyll-containing cells, and these merge insensi-
bly into the subepidermal tissue, which in some instances is
two or more layers in depth. The cells then become much
larger in diameter and the contents less dense. Among these
cortical cells occasional very large polysaccharid idioblasts are
found, and in the chocolate-colored pinnz of plant ‘* C,” these
cells are very numerous and densely packed with spherical
bodies, doubtless belonging to the category of reserve carbohy-
drates. Owing to the nutritious character of such pinnae, they
are very commonly perforated by animals, sometimes giving a
colander appearance like that of Agarum, and covered with
epiphytic and endophytic vegetation, a further study of which
should be made. These reservoir cells may perhaps be packed
with food materials previous to the production of sori and the
polysaccharids utilized in the elaboration of the sporangia and
paraphyses. In any event they seem to be emptied of their
contents underneath most of the soral areas that I have exam-

738 MINNESOTA BOTANICAL STUDIES.

ined. Within the layer of idioblasts the cortical cells become
smaller on each side of the pith plate. This latter is composed
of anastomosing filaments with occasional trumpet-hyphe and
does not differ particularly from the same tissue as displayed in
the stipe. The cortex of the mid-lamina and of the pinne
seems to show some fairly constant differences. In the pinne
the cells are often uniformly larger and the layer of idioblasts
is frequently almost continuous.

The sorus.—I do not find anywhere in the literature of Plery-
gophora an account of its fruiting area. The first fruiting ma-
terial that reached me was collected near Port Renfrew by Miss
Josephine E. Tilden during December, 1901. Shortly after-
wards Professor Setchell kindly sent me some dried pinnz col-
lected at Whidby Island, Washington, by Mr. N. L. Gardner,
and said to display sori. My observations are made from the
fresh material collected by Miss Tilden. The soral patches
occur upon the lateral pinnz and not upon the mid-lamina. In
this respect they remind one of the soral distribution of Alara;
but while in A/arza the entire pinna, except a very small mar-
ginal region, is soriferous, in Plerygophora the sori form some-
what irregular patches upon both surfaces of the pinna and
much of its area fails to develop them. In this respect Plery-
gophora approaches more nearly to Lamznarza.

The sori are composed of numerous elongated, saccate goni-
dangia, each bearing from fifty to two hundred spherical go-
nidia. The gonidangial surface is surmounted by the inter-
mingled paraphyses, averaging half as long again as the
gonidangia and their clavate distal ends capped with cuticular
masses, suggesting those already described for Lessonza and
indicating that in this plant, as in Lessonza, the cuticular layer
does not separate in a plate, as described for Lamznaria by
Thuret and as known to occur also in WVereocystzs, but divides
into individual paraphysal calyptra. Some gonidangia meas-
ured indicated an average length of 50 mic. and diameter of
to mic. The gonidia are nearly 2 mic. in diameter and ina
double-stained preparation, made for me by Mr. H. L. Lyon,
take Delafield’s hematoxylin while the paraphyses and cutic-
ular substance take the safranin. The gonidangia and para-
physes stand upon a floor-layer such as is found in all Laminaria-
ceous sori, and their development does not differ from that
which has already been described for other genera.

MacMillan: OBSERVATIONS ON PTERYGOPHORA. 739

I desire to express my thanks to Miss Josephine E. Tilden
for the winter fruiting material which she kindly collected for
me and for the series of slides from which most of my descrip-
tion has been made, and to Mr. H. L. Lyon for the photo-mi-
crographs reproduced in plate LXI and prepared by him at
my request.

SUMMARY.

1. Pterygophora californica grows to a larger size than
generally known. Specimens ten feet in length with trunks
three inches in diameter have been seen.

2. As displayed in the Straits of Fuca, Pterygophora is a
surge plant, growing below the zone of Lessonza and above
that of Vereocystis.

3. Pterygophora may be classified either in the Laminariez
or the Alariidee. Its characters are in many respects inter-
mediate between these tribes.

4. The holdfast shows distinct rings of growth and these in
most instances arise, not through morphological differences be-
tween adjacent cell-layers, but through differences in the cell
contents. The substances, which produced in greater or less
amount give the ringed appearance, are regarded as polysac-
charids allied to mucine, as described by Koch.

5. The stipe is devoid of the mucilage ducts of Ruprecht and
shows distinct rings of growth, due in most instances, to the
juxtaposition of a layer of cells with larger lumina, upon a layer
with smaller. In some cases the ringed appearance of the stipe
seemed to be due to the same condition described for the holdfast.
. 6. In the cortex of the lamina large polysaccharid idioblasts
are abundantly developed. These are most numerous in the
pinne and are often exhausted of their contents during the proc-
ess of soral formation.

7. The sori are distributed in irregular patches toward the
base of the pinna and in the disposition of the cuticular caps
upon the paraphyses suggest Lessonza. The plant fruits in the
latitude of Port Renfrew during the month of December.

5. Longitudinal section through region of Fig. 3. On the left is
seen the tissue of the secondary cortex, in the middle the flattened
cells of the transition zone, and on the right the cells of the primary
cortex. This first ring of growth, caused by the superposition of
secondary upon primary tissue, is the most prominent of all the
‘growth rings in the stipe ( X 50).

6. A portion of the secondary cortex tissue shown in Fig. 5, mag-
nified to demonstrate the pits in the vertical walls of the tracheid-
like elements. To the right the cells become compressed, passing
into the transition zone (x 250).

7. A portion of the primary cortex tissue shown in Fig. 5, mag-
nified to demonstrate the different arrangement of primary and
secondary cortical cells. The secondary stand in long rows at the
same level. This is not true of the primary (x 250).

8. Cross section through one of the rings shown in Fig. 1 and
magnified to demonstrate the flattening of cells in the region of the
ring and their denser contents. The appearance of small cells inter-
polated between the larger ones can be understood by referring to Fig.
4 (X 250).

g. Cross section through pith web of stipe, showing anastomosing
filaments and trumpet hyphe embedded in a gelatinous matrix (xX

10. Cross section through haptere. The cells of the outer cortical
region are crowded with contents, and do not differentiate clearly.
Near the middle of the section are seen two of the characteristic
growth-rings of the haptere (x 50).

11. Longitudinal section through haptere, showing the development
of secondary tissues, the cells of which are shorter upon the primary
tissue towards the bottom of the figure. Below the black outer cortex
a growth-ring in section may be seen (x 60).

gonidia and paraphyses capped with cuticular knobs characteristic of
this genus and of Lessonia (x 320).
