rrhe scope of the pre<:,ent paper is to hring up to-date our present
knmvleclge of the fungus flora of Colomhia, by revie"·ing the literature on the subject, fol101vedby a critical study, in collaboration with
various specialists, of collections made by the authors during the years
1926-29, and the preparation of a preliminary host index. It would
1'e pretentious for the ,niters to attempt to coYer the entire fiel<l
of ·systematic mycology of such a Yast and little explored country
m; Colombia. with such varied topographical and climatological
features ·which explain it~ enormously rich flora. All that ma}
lJe accomplished here is to more- or less superficially coYer som,::·
groups of fungi, in an attempt to make this paper a startingpoint for the study of thr fnugous f-\ora of Colombia, wltfr·h may
l,0 helpful to students subsequently interested in the 'sub.ject. A
few species from Panam{l, collected by the senior writer, are also
ineluded in this paper.
The senior ·writer became interested in Colombia in 1926. At
the invitation of the governor of the department of Antioquia, Ii
visit was made to l\Iedellin, to reorganize the '' Escuela Superior de
Agricultura y Veterinarin ". This first trip is shown in the enclosed
map (Fig:. I). Landing: at Puerto Colombia e-arly in April. the
ascent of the lviagdalena River. from Barranquilla to Puerto Berrjo
·was made in an airplane in a few hours time. Next clay :Medellin
wa·s reached by rail. after crossing the Central Andes at La Qniebrn,
and approximately hvo months ,vere 'spent in that city in the re~
organization of the agricultural school. 1i. few excursions were,
made in the vicinity of :Medellin and adjoining towns with the
purpose of collecting fungi and a 5-day excursion on mule back
(ilfay 25-29) was made across the rich eofl'ee section of Fredonia
r:-:triking the Cauca River at Bolombolo. This last trip was ve1·y
interesting and fruitful in botanical collections. On the wa~· back
to the eoast, the trip down the i\fadga]ena was made on one of the
river boats, and a little collecting was clone along the banks acros.;;

Rico was effected the last week in June. A total of 172 number·s
of fungi were collected in this first trip.
The junior "Titer arrived in Colombia in .January 1927 and held
the professorship of botan;· and plant patholog,· at the Agricultural
School in Medellin until December 1928.
Opportunities for collecting flowering plants 1 and fungi ,Yere plentiful, in the vicinity
of Medellin, in the coffoe section of Fredonia and Angel6polis ( Central Andes) and in Salgar. lwyond the Cauca River in the \Yestern .Andes. This last region, previously unexplored h~- botanist:\
proved to he of unusual interPst. In December 1928 he was tran'sfrrred to Bogot{1 as plant pathologist for the lVIinistry of Industry,
a position ,1"11ichhe held until )[arch 1930. Being tied up with
1•egnlatory and administrative work. but little attention could he
given to collecting, but a number of specimens were picked up in the
Sahaua de Bogot[1 and in Duitama, Boyaca. During October 1929 1
a trip wa8 made to rr,miaco and Pasto in the frontier department
of Nariiio. A total of :JGOfungus collections were made by the junior
writer.
In 1929. a second opportunity to visit Colombia "Tas afforded to
the ·senior writer, through an inYitation from the Governor of the
department of Valle del Cauca 1 to visit that state as the head of a
commi~sion to undertake an agricultural s1u·Yey of the Oauca valley
and organize an experiment station in .Palmira. }Ir .• J. A. B. :N'"olla.
of the Insular Experiment Station of Porto Rico, accompanied th'}
expedition as plant pathologist, and was a very helpful collaborator
in picking up parasitic fungi. The party left San .Juan, P. R. 1 on
April 23, 1929. and arrived at Cri'st6bal, C. Z., on the 26th. A few
clays \Yere spent in Panam{1 ·waiting for steamer connections. 'l'ravM
eling facilities were kindly supplied by Dr . .Antonio Diaz 1 of the
Department of Agriculture of Panama, and several trips were made:
one extending to the west as far as Aguadulce and the other, in
eompan;~ \Yith Dr. James Zetek. to the h1teresting Barro Colorado
Island in Gatlin Lake. Our collecting in Panam[1 was rather scant
due to the preYalent drought. but some interesting species were collected.
On Ilfat 5. the party sailed from Balboa and arrived at BuenaM
wntura on the 7th. The Pacific coast of Colombia is exceptionally
humid, an average precipitation of 360 to 380 inches annually
heing reported in Buenaventura.
The coa'st is heaYily forested
and offers Yery rich collecting grounds for the naturalist.
On the
f!th our party crossed the \Vestern Andes by rail and arrived at

Cali, where the headquarters were establi'shecl for a period of two
months.
Cali is the commercial center of a large extent of a rich, alluvial plain of oYer 3,000 sq. miles, about 3,500 feet above sea level,
known as the Cauca YaJley (for itinerary of this second trip see the
1uap). ::.\Jany excursions were made through the valley, as far down
ns Cartago, during which the spare time was u·sed in collecting fungi.
'rhe rainfall in this plain range's from 35 to 47 inches, and the plant
growth is rather scant, but along the banks of the Cauca river it
:rs verr luxuriant and rich in fungi. Two interesting trips were also

to the Colegio de Nuestra Sefiora de Io's Andes, reaching nearly
6,000 feet altitude.
Here the rainfall aYerages 87 to 90 inches and
the Yegetation is luxuriant.
On June 18, the senior writ(lr left Cali on a trip to Bo;,:otA, at the invitation of the :llinister of Industries, Dr. J. A. :\Iontalvo, to attend an agricultural <~ongress held at the capital. The
trip along the Quindio. in the Central Andes. at an altitude of

around Armenia and in Ibague. Bogota was reached on the 22nd
after a spectacular rail trip from Girardot, on the :Magdalena.
Bogota, the capital of Colombia, is located on a plateau, 8,650
feet above sea level in the Eastern Andes. It has a temperate
climate with all its characteristic crops: wheat, oats, potatoe·s, rye,
pomaceous fruits, etc. The flora is, naturally, different from all the
ryther regions we had previously visited, and proved to be very
interesting from a mycological standpoint.
Unfortunately, the senior
writer did not haYe m1u.·htime to eoll<_>ct
up tlwre, and the excursions
were limited to a few hikes to Cerro Guadalupe and :Monserrate, :i
Yisit to the Experimental Farm at La Picot.a, and a loYely 2-day
stay at the Salto cle Tequendama. rrhis temperate region of Colombia
})roved to be of exceptional interest mycologically, and many rare
or new forms 1Yere found. It is one of the mo'st promising collecting places knmvn to the writers:

'!'his is the first "·ork known to the writer's in which a mention
i's 1uade of a furigous di8ease in Colombia. Caldas, the celebrated
Colombian naturalist, mentions a destructive disease of wheat,
called polvillo and states that it is caused by "una planta parftsita, semejante al musgo, que multiplic{1ndo'se prodigiosamente
como toda planta micro·sc6pica, at.aca la calla y la espiga del
trigo. le roba los jugos que iban a alimentar el grano, le debilita
y le mata ".
He goes into tlw discussion of the influence of climatic factors in the preYalence of the di8ease. From the description which
is made of the malady ·we infer that he was referring to the common wheat rust.

Prof. F. 8. EarlC' 1Yas the first American mycologist to take
an interest in thp ,tnd,· of Colombian fungi. In 1899, he published this short paper basrd on eollections made by C. F. Baker,
near Santa l\Tarta. HC' was assisted in his determinations by
A. P. l\Iorgan (in the X,·Iariaceae) and P. Dietel (in the Ureclinalcs).
Sixteen fungi were reported, fiye of which were new
species, as follows:

.1:i.very important event in the progress of mycological science
in Colombia wa·s the visit of the Swiss naturalists Drs. 0. Fuhrmann and Eug. l\Iayor in 1!110, and the publication, a few years
later of the results of their collections and researches, with
the collaboration of a number of European specialists, covering
many groups of plant and animal life. A fine and interesting
description of their trip is made in the introduction, which covered the .Magdalena River as far as Puerto Berrio, then to W[edellin, up to the Cauca, :Thlauizales
N evado del Ruiz, reaching again
1
the Magdalena basin at Honda, Bogota, and then return back
through Girardot and the river. In this account, some notes are
giYen on the coffee leaf spot (Stilbella fiavida) and on a root
disease.
The gasteromycete, Geastcr saccatus is reported (p. 58) in ii

Comparatively little work has been done on the :.\Iyxomycetes or
"slime moulds" of South America. and curiously enough. the first
report on the species of this group. appear to be from Colombia.
Leveille ( 14) in 186:3-67. 1·eported ( pag. 158) two species: Leocarpu.s
vm·nicosus (Diderma vernico:mm Pers.), collected at Tequendama,
and Enerthenia muscorwu LeY., collected at La l\Iesa 1 San Antonio,
both collections made by Lindig.
Stnrgi's (29) cited the earlier collections made in South Americ:J.
and reports sixty species from Argentina and Chile collected by
Professor Roland Thaxter in 1905-. Lister (15) recorded about fifty
species from South America of which hYPnty \Yerp found in Chile,
eight in Brazil, three in Venezuela, and one in each of the following countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador. Paraguay and Perft.
Gilbert ( 11) has reported fourteen species from British Guiana and
Surinam.
None 1 but the two aboYe cited spe-cir-s, seem to haYe been
recorded from Colombia. This would SC'em to indicate that they
have not been collected to any extent in Colombia. ln view of the
fact that many species of l\Iy.xomyeetes are rather cosmopolitan iu
their distribution, intensive fi<'1d work should reveal a considerable
number of species in an area as large and Yariecl as Colombia.

In spite of the fact that Schweizer (21) has shown that moisture

of the fact that further cross-inoculation studies and critical comparisons of Albugos on I pomoea and other Convolvulacero are needed

Ciferri (6) of A. minor on sweet potato and A. Ipomoelf pes-capne

relatively slender shape, are easily separated from most specie's) being
approached on!,· b,- those of Albugo F'rnclichicc of Wilson ( 41).
\Vhen producing their first conidia the conidiophores are shorter,
perhaps 45 u (Plate XXXI, C.), and there are indications (Plate
XXXI. D, I.) that as sporulation continues they proliferate until very
elongate. Clumps of noticeably long conicliophores frequently may
be seen in the center of developing pustules.
lVIoreover,the characteristic thickening of the wall of the conidia
is a distinctive feature. This thickening seems to differentiate a
third conidial type in ,\lbugo in addition to the two usually emphasized, one with the conidia rotund, approximately ·spherical, the
··..vall relatively thin and of equal thickness throughout, as in Albtt{]O
candfrla.; the other type with from usually more cylindric and wall
characteristically distinguished by a median angular thickening as
in A. Tragop~gonis. In this third type, the conidia are somewhat
cylindric but with the distal end domed, the side's tapering to a
narrower truncate base and the wall thick (up to 2.5 u) across this
hase and up the sides but thin, (usually less than 1 u) throughon1
the domed 'summit. As far as the writer can determine, this type
of thickening has been reported in but one other species, namely
.Mbugo tillae<f which Lagerheim (19) described on Tillaea rnbescens
:from the outlying streets of Quito, Ecuador. Lagerheim 's description that "La membrane de la partie inferieure de's conidies est plus
lipaisse que celle du sommet." and his figure 3A of Plate 11 were
the first to emphasize this feature and leave little doubt that it is
the same type a's that of this new species on Cleome from Colombia.
Yet there is no possibility that the two are identical. The hosts are
quite unrelated, Tillaea r1tbescens being a member of the Cras·
sulacem and Cleo-meanomala one of the Oapparidace..ce,and the conidfa
on A. tlllacece, although of the same shape and with the same wall
thickening of those in A. Chardoni are much larger, being from 20
to 24 u long by 20 to 21 u broad.
The htist species, a member of the Capparidacem, is an addition
to the list of hosts for specie's of the genus Albugo. The only other
Albugo recorded on members of this genus is Albugo candida, which
in the past has been reported on Capp'aris rupestn".s, C. spinosa, and
on Cleome graveolens in the family of the Capparidacem. The present species, however. is quite unlike Albugo cn1zdida,in the extreme

:.ivailable, but the species in its coniclial phase seems none the less to
be a particularly distinctive one.
This specie's, therefore, is tentatively described as new and is
named after Carlos E. Chardon, who not onl;y collected it but also
appreciated its distinctiYe characters and tentatiYely suggested that
it might prove to be a nev{ specie's.

IV.-HEMISPHAERIALES.
(Rafael
.A. 'l'oro.)
This order was established hy 'l'h('issen (35) to incluch~ tho's1'
fungi with inverse radiate perithecia. which ·were formerly scattered
among other orders 0£ the Pyrenomyeetes. Since the establishment
of the order, much dis,':-ussion has taken place as to its systematic
po'sition. In the latest monograph of the order by Theissen & Sydow
(37). a step "·as made by the inelusion of the family Polystonwilaceae, thus e'stablh.;hing a connection with the Dothideales. Spegazzini (24), although accepting tlw limitations of the orcle-r, expre;;:,e-d
his doubts as to the constancy of the characters involved. Arnaud
(1) makes a thorough study of ·some of the ,members of this orde1·
and presents a more fundamental classification based on the morphological characters of the fruiting bodies. He recognizes two
orders within the group: the ::.\Iicrothyriale's which is constituted by
the majority 0£ the elements included by Theissen & Syclow ancl
which have an asterinoicl, parasitic mode of life. ,Yhile in the Hemisphaeriales are included the remaining genera which are probably at
most ~;aprophytic. Arnaud\; classification lacks in ease of application. while that of Theissen and Sydow, based, as it i's, wholly on spore
septation ancl color, is of neces·sity too artificial.
According to the various authors who have worked with the order 1
the Hemisphaeriales are related to the Dothicleales on the one hand
and to the Perisporiales on the other. Gaumann (10) points out thal
the order is intermediate between the Pyrenom:_vcetesand the Discomy.
cetes, near the Phacidiales.
Since our present knowledge of the affinities and relationship's o E
the order are still not clearly defined. we are considering the group
as a separate one, adopting the clas'sification of Theissen and Sydow.

Although sctae and spore characters of our specimens do not
fully agree 1vith those given in the original description, we do not
feel justified in establishing a new species on this account as observations have shown that these characters are very variable in this
particular species. Our specimen 'shows variations ranging from the
Beelian formula 3111: 42.21 to 3111: 52.21, while the formula for
the species corresponds to 3111: 52.22.

ORDER
VIII.-DOTHIDEALES.
( Carlos }}. Charclon)
Special attention has been givC'n by the senior writer to the col.:
lecting and study of this large order, so richly represented in tropical regions. The treatment of the order presented in the well-knowu
monograph of 'fi1eissen and Sydow (36) is inval'iably followed here.
although that work needs a thorough revision and the addition of
:1everal hundred species subseqnentl~v described.
Theisspn and Sydo,\ (1. c.) divided the order into .four families:
Polystomellaceae, Dothideaceae, Phyllachoraceae and 1\Iontagnellaceae.
these authors (37), the Polystomellaceae
In a subsequent work h~
is removed to the IIemisphaeriales.
Of the other three families
only two are so far known to occur in Colombia_. the Dothicleacea~
and the Ph,'llachoraeere.
Onl~- 30 specie8 of this group are hitherto known to occur in ColomlJia which is a rather small representation considering the large number
c,f :Species known from other tropical countries, like Porto Rico and
Costa Rica. In the present paper, 53 species are reported, 46 of
which were collected in Colombia proper and 7 in Panama. Of
the 46 species reportecl from Colombia, 31 are new additions to
Colombia (which more than doubles the number of species so far
lmown) and 13 species are new to science. Nevertheless 1 the number
of Dothideales in the flora of Colombia may be greatly increased in
future collections and studies.

The specimen agrees very ,Yell with the type species described and
collected by the writer, No. 168, at Puerto Wilches, along- the Magdalena River in 1926. '1.1hespores are long-ellipsoidal. biseriate, 15-16 x
4-5 u, with a ehal'acteristic slightly curved tip.
In the herl>nrium of the N. Y. Botanical Garden, the senior writer
found a specimen from Porto Rico) Mr. & i\Irs. Heller's No. 1381 on
Pasp. 1.1irgat11m, Catai'io. :\Iar. 23, 18D9, 'irhich had been critically
Fttndird b)~ the late Prof. F. S. Earle, and regarded as a ne,v (unpuhli8hed) 'species. The description. in Earle's handwriting, reads:
"Stromata amphigenous, 'scattered, without determinate spotsi
black. oblong, ends suh-ronnded, 1-2 x lh mm., black within, locculi
few, indistinct.
Asci irregularly ohoYate, 50-60 x 10-6 u. Spores

with a hyaline apicuhrs at one end. S-7 u long, spore ,vithout apiculus
16-18 X 7 u."
This fits in exactly ·with Ph. cornispora-nccrotica Chardon, and a
microscopic examination confirmed the identity of the Porto Rican,
Colombian and Panamanian mate-rial. Unfortunately, no credit can
be given here to Earle's species on the basis of priority since it had

he admitted that "this form is probably coespecific with Phyllachom

that both the Porto Rican and the Colombian material belong together,
an amended description of the species is made here. It falls under

Seawr and Chardon (22) erected the genus Clypeotrabutia to take
care of the 1-celled, hyaline-spore forms of the family Clypeosphaeriaceae, of the Sphaeriales.
In Engler nnd P'rantl's keys for
the family, such forms were received under Trab1dia Sacc. & Roum.

Its strictly enclogenom; nature, hm,·ever, is unique. and separates it

of this genus seems justifiablr at present.

Both stages of the RoselUnia were found. The perfect stage,
No. 522, was overripe and did not 'show spores, but the large, black,
warty perithecia were typical. The determination of the species was
made by 0. E. Chardon who reports that the fungus was associated
with a coffee root disease cau·sing considerable damages in the plantations at Bitaco, Pavas and la Oumbre.

It is difficult to decide what name to use. The following- Cercosporae have been reported on Brassica:
brassica-c<u11pcstris.albomaculans, brassicfrol,(f (sometimes wrong:ly spelled crassicicola)
l,lo.rami. and c1·uciferar11111.rl'he olclE··stis Blo.rami hut Be1·kerley'::;
description is so meager that it would be impossible to determine
whether it is Cercospora.
If WE'accept Young 1s (1916) amE'nclment
of this species. it has priority.
After examining a large number of
specimens of all the species nanwcl. and also reading- the original
description, it is so apparent that there are such slight cliffprences
that they can be classed as one excepting· albomaculam,· which is a
Ce1·cosporella.
If cross-inoculations were made it probably could be 1n·oyed that
all the above names are synonyms of r. w·moraciae on horse' radish,
for there is as much yariation in this species as collected from a
number of states, as there is between it and the other named s1weies.

long hypha-like extension which is more m1r1·ow and lighter colored
than the lower part of the conidiophore, septa rare, guttulae in "·idt~r
parts, olivaceous, 2-5 x 40-125 u. Conidia are borne standing err<·t
or hanging downward.

distinctly obclaYate, being gradually attenuated to an almost sharp
point. hoth ends rounded, mnlti::.eptate, no constriction8, faintly oliVll·
ceous, 3-5 x 50-115 u.
This seems quite distinct from other species of Cercospora,on other
Rubiaceae and is characterized by its peculiarly branched eonidiophores.

description fits the specimen more nearly than do any of the other
thirteen.
The conidiophores are branched which is not. mentioned

Both Nos. 250 and 314 look in many ways like Cercospora si1n1tlata.,
and yet is not the same in all points. The eonidiophores of this
specimen do not seem to be in such strict fascicles, and some appear
to be procumbent.
The spores too, are a little more irregular in
shape ancl longer. The spot looks like simulata, the color and septation of the conidiophores and coniclia also meet the description.
It
does not look like any of the other 14 species and varieties reported
on Cassia. No. 259 fits the description of the original, excepting that
the conicliophores are shorter and conidia longer than the measurements recorded. Also instead of being brown, both the conidiophore·s and coniclia are more nearly olivaceous. Excepting in the
length of conicliophores, this specimen is much like No. 314.

Although the type material of Gercospora Stevcnsii docs not have

its conidiophores are somewhat larger than of this specimen, the
two are undoubtedly the same. Both have very dark) sinuous, conidiophores that arise :from a dark stroma, and the conidia are of
similar shapes and color. Young says the spores are hyaline, but type
material shows they are pale olivaceous yellow. rrhe peculiar twisting of the conidiophores which Young mentions, may refer to the

This so-called '' covered smut'' of barley is known nearly whereever that crop is in cultivation. It may be· distinguished from the
loose smut of barley by the smooth spores ancl by the fact that the
sori are in the individual spikelets and the entire inflorescence is
usually not consumed in the formation of the spores.

The "loose smut" of barley affects the host in the same manner
as the loose smut of wheat, (U. Tn'.tici (Pers.) Rostr.). It may be
distinguished from U. Horclei by the roughened spore walls and by
the fact that the inflorescence, except the rachis, is usually completely consumed in the formation of spores.

however, has somewhat smaller spores than in the specimen of that
species distributed in Ell. & Ev. N. Am. J:1-,nngiNo. 2704 and the
sterile cells are larger and with thinner walls. It is entirely possible
that when a range of collections can be studied the two specirs will

In 1915 Lindau ( Orchis 9: 177) reported Uredo Scabies Cooke
from Colombia on Fm,illa 7;/(vnifolia. In 1927 Kern and Chardon
(l\-Iyeologia 19: 268-276) reported ten additional species from Colombia. hased on collections made b~y Chardon in AprilyJune 1 1926.
In Hl27 ::Ur. R-. .A. 'roro took a position in Colombia, first in connection with the Escuela de Agricultura at "r.ledellin and later with
the goYernment at Bogot{t. Since that time he has made many collections (upwards of eighty) and on the basis of these there are
l~ere reported seYenteen additional species of which four are described as new species.
In 1929 Comimissioner Carlos E. Chardon and Sr. J. A. B. Nolla
We're in Colombia. as a part of an agricultural s1n·Yey group from
Porto Rico and took oceasion to collect fungi securing more than 180
rollections of rusts. Our studies of the·se reveal 28 species not heretofore repoited from Colombia of which four are described as new.
This makes a total of 204 species from the country.
Undoubted!,· this falls far short of representing the complete
rust-flora or this area. \Ve do not have an equivalent area with
which to make comparison's. California with only about one~third the
area of Colombia has 237 known rusts. New England with about
("lle-sewnth the number of square miles of Colombia has 205 species.
PennHylvania and Cuba. are about equal in size and approximate
only one-tenth the area of Colombia and have 159 and 140 known
species r(''spectively. l'he island of Porto R.ico, considerably less
than one per crnt of the area of Colombia has 181 known species.
These figur('s are given becausr of some interest that ma:v attach to
them and not because of an;y significance they have. We do not
know what the faetors are that detern1ine the presence or absence
of these parasitic plants or their distribution.
The number of host
plants. the topography of tlw region, and the intensiveness with
which collecting· ha's been done. all enter into our present knowledga
(•f ru·st populations.
It is believed that the larger information.
which we nre gradually building- up regarding the rustvflora of vaJ·ious areas 1Yill eome to be the foundation of a fuller understanding
0f the problems of distribution and ecology.
It is with pleasurr that the authors acknowledge the assistance of
several colleagues in their own in'stitntions in these studies and also
their indebtedness to numerous phanerogamic botanists for host determinations.

This is a macrocyclic species of which uredinia and telia are

called it U. Biclentis in error. RBference to the host B. bipinnatus
(Mycologia 19: 271. 1927) as from Colombia is also an error as that
specimen was from Jamaica and not from Colombia. The microcyclic
species U. Biclenti, is also reported from Colombia in this paper.

(vol. 2, p. 161, 1910) prior to the publication of his paper but does
not give any information as to the date or collector. Sydow indicates
that the Colombian specimen was collected by Karsten.

Thi's is a very interesting microcyclic species because of the exceptionally large spores which measure 25-42 x 70-135 u. There is
probably no known Puccinia with larger teliospores. The spores
germinate upon maturity and the sporidia are comparatively large
being oval and measuring 18-21 u long. 'l'he pedicel is sometimes
28 u broad above and often as long a·s the spore. 'l'he original description does not mention pycnia but our specimens have them fm.v
in number, gregarious, on the spots opposite the telia. The pycnia
are about 200 u broad by 250 u high.

(Fungi). Paris. 1822). This list enumerated ten species 0£ the group
that ,,-ere reported to have been collected in what is now the Republic 0£ Colombia. Since it is impossible to Yeri£y these determinations at present they are here listed separately, without further comment other than that in parenthesis follmving some of the names .

seventeen species of higher Basidiomycetes from Colombia. 'rhe list
is as follows :

Polypor11s hynieninus Lev.
Polyporus chryseus LeY.

No other extensive list of Colombia have been made, although an
exhanstivr search of the literature would probably slw-rr that a :fow
additional species have been reported.
The collections turned over to me by Dr. Chardon yield twentynine rather positive identifications. A few collections were impossible to identify due to one cause or another. but mainly attributable
to the very scanty descriptions extant. It is of interest to note that
the list recorded by Leveille contains not a single duplication of the
species listed by Hooke1·, and further that the list here presented duplicates. ·so far as can be-learned at present. only three species listed
by Hooker ancl not a single species listed by Leveille. A study of
Leveille's specimens \Yould probably show some duplications, hmvever,
since the larger number of those he described are either known only
from the original collection or are not to be considered as ·well
known species under the name he applied to them.
