FUNGI SELECTI GUATEMALENSES. EXSICCATI 
DECADE I.* 
W. A. KELLERMAN. 
It is proposed to issue from time to time small sets of Guate¬ 
malan fungi which may be of some interest. There will be a 
number of new species included, and many peculiar tropical forms, 
and others to illustrate new hosts, variations or extended distri¬ 
bution. The sets will not be offered for sale, but it is intended 
that the edition may be ample for the larger herbaria m case t e 
specimens are desired. The first decade includes the following: 
1. Graphiola phoenicis (Moug.) Poit., on Thrinax sp. indet. 
2. Melampsora bigelowii Thiim., on Salix humboldtiana H. 
B. K. 
3. Puccinia cannae (Wint.) P. Henn., on Canna indica L. 
4. Puccinia cognita Syd., on Senecio fraseri Hemsl. 
5. Puccinia cynanchi Lagerh., on Philibertiella crassifolia 
Hemsl. 
6. Puccinia heterospora B. & C., on Sida cordifolia L. 
7. Puccinia rosea (D 1 . & H.) Arthur, on Ageratum conyzoides L. 
8. Ravenelia humphreyana Diet., on Poinciana pulcherrima L. 
9. Ravenelia spinulosa Diet, et Holw., on Cassia biflora L. 
10. Ustilago panici-leucophaei Bref., on Panicum leucophaeum

This fungus of doubtful affinity is common in green houses the 
world over occurring on different species of Palms. In Guatemala the 
parasite was found in only one locality but it was very abundant, prac¬ 
tically all the plants in the low, wet ground where the host occurred 
being affected.
