A LIST OF INDIAN FUNGI, CHIEFLY OF THE BOMBAY 



PRESIDENCY, WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF 



TWO NEW SPECIES. 



BY 



E. Blattek, S. J. 



(^JVith a ijlate). 



The following is a list of Hyphomycetes, chiefl}- Basidiomycetes, 

 which, about a year ago, I had sent to the Rev. F. Theissen, S. J., 

 for identification. This gentleman was obliging enough to take 

 the trouble of naming the specimens which were not always in the 

 best state of preservation. Mr. C. G. Lloyd was so kind as to com- 

 pare a great part of the Polyporacese with the material kept in 

 Kew, and Mr. L. Romell of Stockholm identified several specimens. 

 The Ascomycetes were examined by Dr. H. Rehm, and the Uredi- 

 nales and Deuteromj^cetes b}- Mr. H. Sydow of Berlin. I wish 

 to express my thanks to all who in some way or other lent us their 

 kind help. 



Rev. F. Theissen published a list of the fungi in the " Annales 

 Mycologici" (Berlin, 1911, vol. IX, fasc. 2). As oxAj a few. 

 however, of those interested in Indian Botan}' and, at the same 

 time, residing in this country are in a position to consult that 

 Journal, we consider it advisable to publish the results in these 

 pages. To the species mentioned in the " Annales " we shall add 

 the names of some other fungi, which were collected between 1904 

 and 1906.
