DISTRIBUTION OF DEUTEROMYCETES 411 



petent collectors would no doubt find them all in regions from 

 which there are now no collection records. To mention a few 

 ranges, Cercospora beticola is known to be present in Korea, 

 Japan, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, Jugoslavia, Rumania, 

 Germany, Austria, Italy, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, France, Spain, 

 Holland, Belgium, Ireland, Morocco, Mauritius, Bermuda, Cuba, 

 Dominican Republic, the United States, and Canada. Polyspora 

 lirii has been noted on flax in Ireland, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, 

 Germany, Poland, Latvia, Russia, Italy, New Zealand, Canada, and 

 the United States. Septoria ly coper sici is known to occur in the 

 United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Denmark, Germany, 

 Norway, Esthonia, Lithuania, Russia, Rumania, middle Asia, Cey- 

 lon, southern Australia, Fiji, Mauritius, Kenya, Morocco, east 

 Africa, Rhodesia, Argentina, Brazil, Trinidad, Guatemala, Ber- 

 muda, and Hawaii. 



Distribution of species dispersed with nursery stock. Some 

 very important imperfect fungi have been widely disseminated 

 with shipments of nursery stock, for example, Cladospor'mm car- 

 pophiliimi, causing scab and freckle of stone fruits, Phyllosticta 

 solitaria, causing canker, blotch, and leaf spot of apple, and Sphace- 

 loma fawcetti, causing citrus scab. Data on the occurrence of 

 Cladosporhim carpophilium outside the United States and southern 

 Canada are not abundant; nevertheless Keitt (1917) is of the 

 opinion that this species is present in all countries where peach, 

 nectarine, and cherry are grown. Austria, Germany, Bulgaria, 

 Holland, South Africa, New South Wales, and Brazil are among 

 the regions where C. carpophilium is known to occur. 



Phyllosticta solitaria has not been given serious attention out- 

 side the central and eastern United States. Guba (1925) suspected 

 that wild crabapple, Pyrus coronaria, is the original host and 

 source of inoculum. This fungus has been reported from Argen- 

 tina, Rhodesia, Spain, and Holland. 



Sphaceloma jauccetti is believed [Fawcett (1926) ] to have been 

 present in Japan since ancient times, but it was given little atten- 

 tion until its discovery in Florida about 1886. It occurs also in 

 China, India, the East Indies, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, 

 Brazil, and Argentina. 



Distribution of soil-borne species. Many of the Moniliales 

 are soil-borne. The outstanding representative of this group of 

 imperfect fungi is Phymatotrichum omnivorum, commonly called
