MISCELLANEOUS FUNGI IMPEKFECTI 845 



Var. equinum Pollacci, Riv. Biol. 10: 358-367, 1928; Bolognesi & Chiurco, 

 Micosi Chirurgiche, 904, 1927. 



Isolated from cancro del feltone. 



Differs from the species in host, conidiophores longer, eonidia ovoid, 4.3 

 X 7.2/.. 



Pollacci thinks the species of Penicillium, imperfectly described by Rebaudi 

 & Podesta (1922), belongs in Haplographium. It certainly is not a Penicillium. 



Var. pulmonale Redaelli, in Bolognesi, Atti 1st. Lombardo Sci. e Lett. 

 1925; Bolognesi & Chiurco, Micosi. Chinirg. 905, 906, 1927. 



Spores ellipsoid, slightly apiculate or rounded, sometimes with lateral de- 

 formations; epispore thick, fuscous, 2.5-4.5 x 3.5-4/x. Differs from species with 

 shorter branches bearing the chains and insertion of conidiophores, smaller 

 ellipsoid eonidia. 



On carrot, colonies rounded, irregularly mammillate, elevated, dusty, 

 velvety, grayish olive green, later confluent and darkening. 



HORMODENDRON 



Hormodendron Bonorden, Handb. allg. Mykol. 76, 1851. 



The type species was not designated. Since Bonorden mentions the habitat 

 of Hormodendron olivaceum, it is probable that he had seen a specimen, while 

 in the case of the others, he apparently knew them only from Corda'"s figures. 

 Hence H. olivaceum may be taken as the type (Fig. 136). 



Hyphae repent, branched, septate. Conidiophores erect, septate, brown, 

 branched. Conidial chains acrogenous on the branches; eonidia spherical or 

 ovoid, olive green or brown, unicellular. 



In contrast to chains of spores in Penicillinni, cell division occurs simul- 

 taneously throughout the greater portion of the branch ; the cells round up 

 and produce spores. Several pathogenic species have been reported. They 

 make a Avell-marked group, quite distinct from other pathogenic genera. 

 Whether or not the reference to Hormodendron is correct is still uncertain. 



Hormodendron alg-eriensis ]\Iontpellier & Catanei, Ann. Derm. Syphiligr. 

 VI, 8: 626-635, 1927. 



Found in lesions somewhat resembling those of sporotrichosis. On inocu- 

 lation to rabbit, caused voluminous abscess. 



Sterile hyphae brown, 4/. in diameter, septate. Sporophores erect, bear- 

 ing little chains of spores. Cell wall with little thickenings or tuberosities 

 from which spores are borne. Spores ovoid to elongate, 5.5-11 x 3-4/a, with 

 wall thickened at point of attachment. 



Colonies brown. 



Hormodendron madagascarensis (Verdun) Dodge, n. comb. 



Cladosporium sp. Gueg-uen, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris 152: 412, 413, 1911. 



Cladosporimn madagascarensis Verdun, Precis Parasitol. 1912. 



Hormodendron sp. Langeron, Bull. Soc. Path. Exot. 15: 443, 1922.
