A MANUAL OF THE PENICILLIA 



the Thorn Collection (No. 4733.39.1), originally from Biourge as PenicilUum 

 daviforme Bainier; NRRL 2031, received in February 1946 from the Cen- 

 traalbiireaii as the same species; NRRL 2149 from Dr. G. A. Ledingham, 

 National Research Council, Ottawa, Canada, as an imnamed species from 

 Firma Konig Lubek, Germany; and NRRL 1001 from Wehmer in 1922 as 

 his Coremium silvaticum (see sjoionyms above). The latter culture differs 

 from the other four in producing less well-defined coremia which are com- 

 monly joined by vegetative hyphal bridges. The character of the sterig- 

 matic surface, the size and form of the conidia, and the color of mature

conidial masses, however, are identical in the different strains and there is 

 little question but that NRRL 1001 represents merely a variant of Bainier's 

 species. 



The type culture was given to Thom in 1905 by Bainier when Thom 

 visited his laboratory in Paris. It was long maintained in the latter's 

 Collection as No. 4640.441 and was cited as such in Thom's discussfon of 

 this species in his Monograph (1930). Re-examination of original culture 

 notes made by Thom indicate that this culture duplicated, in all particulars, 

 NRRL 1002 and 2031 examined in the current study.
