642 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Penicillium Montoyai Castellani & Chalmers, Man. Trop. Med. ed. 1, G14, 

 1910. 



Penicillimn picior Neveu-Lemaire, Precis I'arasilol. 1908. 



Isolated by Montoya y Flores (1898) from a grayish violet pinta. 



Hyphae branch dichotomously. Spore chains with more or less cylindric 

 sporophore. Penicillus short and has only a few branches. Conidia spherical 

 or ovoid, smooth, 3-4.5/x in diameter. 



Organism grows well on ordinary agar and maltose agar. On glycerol 

 agar, colony is woolly, short, kinky, white at first, becoming glaucous and 

 finally violaceous, old cultures presenting rose-colored mammillae, with re- 

 verse rose. Glycerol broth shows a pellicle with smooth white tubercles, broth 

 becoming yellow as picric acid. 



Penicillium pruriosnm Salisbury, 1873, Marchand, Bot. Crypt, Ice. 1880. 



Isolated from mucous membrane of vulva and vesica urinaria. 



Penicillium quadrifidum Salisbury Zeitschr. Parasitenk. [Hallier] 4: 3, 

 PI. 6, Fig. 11, 1875. 



Isolated from the blood under fairly sterile conditions; this organism was 

 seen in abundance in the freshly removed blood. The patient recovered after 

 medication with 2 gm. of quinine and 20 drops of tincture Peni-chloride 

 in a glass of water every four hours. In addition, the swollen surfaces were 

 painted with tincture of iron every 3-4 hours. 



Kesten et al. (1932) report Penicillium spicuUsponim Lehman from open 

 ulcers on the toes, but were unable to reproduce the lesions on experimental 

 animals. 



PAECILOMYCES 



Paecilomyces Bainier. Mycotheque de I'Escole de Pharmacie 11: Bull. Soc. 

 Myc. France 23: 26, PL 7, 1907. 



Type species is P. varioti Bainier. 



Phialides short, tubular, or more or less enlarged, tapering into long 

 conidiiferous tubes, curved or bent slightly away from the long axes of the 

 phialides; variously arranged, partly in verticils and branching systems sug- 

 gesting Penicillium, partly irregularly arranged upon short branchlets, partly 

 arising singly along the fertile hyphae ; conidia in chains, never green ; macro- 

 spores variouslj^ borne, usually solitary and terminal on branchlets either sub- 

 merged or close to the substratum (Fig. 103). 



It is possible that some species described as Spicaria should be placed here. 

 The nomenclature of Spicaria is involved, having been used in various senses by 

 various authors, so that it seems wiser to retain Paecilomyces than to treat it 

 as a synonym as was done by Oilman & Abbott (1927). 



Paecilomyces Burci (Pollacci) Thom, Penicillia 548, 1930. 



Penicillium Burci Pollacci, Atti 1st. Bot. R. Univ. Pavia 18: 128, 129, PI. 

 31, 1921; Berti, Policlinico Sez. Chiiiirg. 29: 484-486, Figs. 1-5, 1922; Campa- 

 telli, Pensiero Med. 12: 217-219, 1923.
