Theissen, J., Fungi oflndia. Part I. (Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. 

 Soc. XXI. p. 1273-1303. 4 pl. 1912.) Part 2. (XXII. p. 144—159. 

 5 pl. 1913.) 



The author has compiled a list of the fungi known from Bri- 

 tish India and Burma. Part I deals with the Ascomycetes, Part 

 II with the Hemiasd, Laboulbeniaceae, and Basidiomycetes. The 

 Uredinales, Phyconiycetes, Fungi Imperfedi and Mycetosoa are not 

 included in the present paper. Synonomy is given in some cases 

 and also references to literature. No new species are described.

 p. 168—171. 1913.) 



The history of the occurrence of Hemileia vastatrix in Africa 

 Supports the view that the fungus is endemic, and not introduced. 

 The disease occurs both on cultivated coffee, and on the so-called 

 "wild" or indigenous coffee. The identity of the latter is discussed 

 and it is concluded that it is not Coffea Ibo, as had been supposed, 

 but C. rohusta, Linden , as Synonyms of which are given C. arahica, 

 var. Stuhlmanii, Trochner, C. btikobensis, Zimmermann, C. cane- 

 phora, Pierre, forma. 



There is no proof that coffee is attacked by any species of 

 Hemileia other than H. vastatrix. An examination of the type spe- 

 cimen on which Hennings based his record of H. Woodii o{ Coffea 

 Ibo, shows that the plant is not C. Ibo, though its identity could 

 not be determined. The fungus moreover is probably only the very 

 rare teleutospore stage of H. vastatrix, the uredospores present 

 being of the vastatrix and not of the Woodii type.
