Oct. 1903 ] Notes from Mycological Literature

claytoniata (i. e. Puccinia claytoniata [Schw.] Syd.) is restored 
to the Rust that occurs on Claytonia; the common designation 
for this has been Puccinia marise-wilsoni Peck. 
H. Diedicke Calls Attention to the Fact that Die Aeci- 
dien der Puccinia stipse (Op.) Hora (Annales Mycologici, i: 
341-3, July 1903), of which the name of Arthur appears as the 
author in Bulletin of the Iowa Agricultural College 160, 1884, and 
in the Bulletin from the Laboratories of Natural History, State 
University of Iowa (1898, p. 389), have been obtained by cul¬ 
tures on species of Thymus. The author also details his own 
experiments showing that the secidial stage of this Rust also in¬ 
habits Salvia silvestris. 
The Editor of Annales Mycologici has decided to pub¬ 
lish also lichenological literature, and in the July No. (pp. 354- 
361) prints the Latin diagnoses of ten new species of Lichens by 
A. Zahlbruckner. One new genus is proposed, namely, Pseudo- 
heppia A. /.ahlbr. 
In the article Neue und Kritische Uredineen by H. & 
P. Sydow, Annales Mycologici, 11324-334 July 1903, nine of 
the species are American. It is interesting to note that one of 
them is on leaves of a host, namely, Aecidium aikeni on Thalic- 
trum purpurascens, that harbors also another known fungus, i. 
e. Aecidium thalictri-flavi. The authors point out that Tracy 
and Earle’s Puccinia notabilis is a synonym of Puccinia splendens 
Vize. 
Zur Entwickelungsgeschichte, Morphologie und Sys- 
tematik Der Flechten von Birger Nilson, is the title of a 
thorough paper published in the Botaniska Notiser, 1903:1-33. 
In the Revista Agronomica (Lisboa) for June 1903, J. 
Bresadola describes a new genus (with one species) of Hymeno- 
gastraceae, namely, “Torrendia Bres. n. gen.—etym. a cl. Camillo 
Torrend Societatis Jesu florae mycologicae lusitanae scrutatore 
sollertissimo.” 
Der Chrysanthemum-Rost, ii, Von Dr. Ernst Jacky, 
published in Centralblatt fiir Bakteriologie, Parasitenkunde und 
Infektionskrankheiten, II Abteilung, 10:369-381, 1903, deals with 
the question of identity of the Hemi-Puccinia that occurs on 
Chrysanthemum chinense in Japan, with that found in Europe 
and America (on Chrysanthemum indicum). Culture experi¬ 
ments are detailed, and the conclusion reached that they are one 
and the same species. The name and synonomy are as follows: 
Puccinia chrysanthemi Roze; syn. P. chrysanthemi chinensis P. 
Henn., P. pyrethri Rabh. p. p., Sydow (Monogr. Ured. 1:45), 
Uredo chrysanthemi Roze, and P. hieracii Mart, p .p.
