REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST I915 5 1 



Poria calcea Fr. 



North Greenbush, Rensselaer county. H. D. House, no. 233, 

 October 10, 1914. 



Ramularia arvensis Sacc. 



On living leaves of Potentilla monspeliensis L. 

 Oneida, Madison county. H. D. House, June 27, 1915. Also 

 collected at Newman, N. Y., on the same host by Doctor Peck. 



Ramularia barbareae Peck 

 Sylvan Beach, Oneida county. On leaves of Barbarea 

 vulgaris R. Br. H. D. House, May 10, 1915. 



Ramularia obovata Fckl. 

 On living and languishing leaves of Rumex crispus L. 

 Albany. H. D. House, July 23, 191 5. Karner. October 8, 1914. 

 This is the form with obovate, nonseptate conidia. The one with 

 clavate-oblong 1 -septate spores is known as Ramularia 

 obi i qua (Cooke) Oud., and appears to be the one most fre- 

 quently collected in this State. By some these two are regarded 

 as forms or phases of the same species, to which may also be 

 united Ramularia decipiens E. & E. 



Rhizina inflata (Schaeff.) Quel. 

 (R. undulata Fr.) 

 Under hemlock and birch trees, Pleasant Lake north of Schroep- 

 pels Bridge, Oswego county. H. D. House, August 11, 191 5. 

 Doctor Peck has collected this species at Forestburg, Sullivan 

 county, Hague, Warren county and Greig, Lewis county. At the 

 Oswego county locality the fungus appears to be chiefly saprophytic, 

 but several instances were observed where the mycelium of the 

 fungus invested and was apparently parasitic on hemlock seedlings, 

 causing their death. 



Septogloeum ochroleucum (B. & C.) Dearness, com. nov. 



(Septoria ochroleuca B. & C; Phyllosticta, Pk.; Gloeosporium, B. & C; 

 Cryptosporium epiphyllum C. & E.) 



Schroeppels Bridge, Oswego county, on living leaves of C a s - 



tanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh. H. D. House, August 13, 



191 5. Also collected by Doctor Peck at Sand Lake, Copake and 



Wading River.
