Graff: Fungi and Lichens from Guam 



7 



with the exception of one by the present writer, included in Mer- 

 rill's "Enumeration of the Plants of Guam," in 1914. 



In this last named article the writer, with an unfortunate lack 

 of literature, attempted a list of the then known species from the 

 island. Gaudichaud's publication was inaccessible, hence only 

 his species as included by Schumann and Lauterbach and Safford 

 could be included and Fomes lignosus was erroneously given in 

 the list. To these were added several recent collections which 

 are preserved in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science, Manila. 

 In all, this enumeration included eighteen species of fungi, one 

 of which, Cladosporium clemensiae, was described as new. 

 While this article was short and imperfect with the exclusion of 

 lichens, it more than doubled the known species of fungi from 

 Guam. 



The present enumeration is warrented by the inclusion of all 

 known species of fungi and lichens from the island, with the 

 exception of several doubtful species which are listed at the end, 

 and the hope that it may form a basis for future work on the 

 fungus flora of this locality. This enumeration includes Gaudi- 

 chaud's species which are deposited in the herbarium of the Paris 

 Museum, material collected by Mrs. Mary S. Clemens in 191 1 

 and R. C. McGregor during the same year, and specimens com- 

 municated by the Guam Experiment Station. These last are all 

 preserved in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science in Manila 

 where they were examined and identified.
