Mycologia 



Maryland, was born in Talbot County. Dr. Kelly is preparing 

 an account of her life and work. Her book of manuscript and 

 drawings is at Albany, having been donated by her to the State 

 Museum about thirty years ago. A list of the species she col- 

 lected, comprising fourteen that were new, was published by Dr. 

 Peck in his 44th annual report. 



A day and night were spent at the home of Dr. Kelly in Balti- 

 more, where Mr. L. C. C. Krieger, a botanical artist of great 

 ability, is busily engaged in preparing illustrations of the fleshy 

 fungi.

Three New Fungi from Porto Rico 



The following fungi were collected by me in Porto Rico in 



1913, 1914, and 1915, and were given to Mr. Lamkey to study. 

 The descriptions and names were supplied by him. 



Microstroma ingaicola Lamkey, sp. nov. Basidia clavate, 16- 

 29/x long, emerging through stomata in a crowded head; sterig- 

 mata minute ; spores 4-8, hyaline 2-3 by 6-8 p. 



Producing witches' broom on Inga laurina. Mayaguez, Jan. 



1914. No. 671 1. The witches-brooms produced were large and 

 numerous and quite as conspicuous as the brooms usually present 

 on the hackberry in the states. 



Microstroma pithecolobii Lamkey, sp. nov. Basidia clavate, 20- 

 24 fju long, emerging through stomata in a crowded head; sterig- 

 mata minute; spores usually 8, hyaline, 2 by 8-10 fi. 



Producing white hypophyllous spots on Pithecolobium soman, 

 Mayaguez, Dec. 1913. No. 6734. The spots on the lower sides 

 of the leaves were of the appearance of a Ramularia. The host 

 was recently imported into Porto Rico and all of the planting 

 was heavily infected though the fungus was not found on any 

 of the other species of Pithecolobium so common on the island. 



Peronoplasmopara portoricensis Lamkey, sp. nov. Conidio- 

 phores emerging through stomata, singly or in twos or threes, 

 80-300 by 5^2-11 fi, pseudo-monopodially 3-5 branched, ultimate 

 branches tapering and 9-18 /x long; conidia ellipsoid, hyaline, 

 14-24 by 16^2 — 28 fx. Oospores not present.
