PREFACE. 
 
 Ill the jirofont state of uiyc!olo,<2;ii'a) kii()wle(l,ii'e, the elaHsiliention 
 and description oi' tlie species of Xortii American Pyrenoniycetes is 
 attended witli many diiliculties; eliiof among whicli is the fact tliat 
 many ol' th(! piililishcd diagnoses are too iinjierfect to enahle one to 
 recotfiii/.e the species, of wliich many ol" the types are either lost or 
 practically inaccessilile. An examination of the Schwcinitzian Herha- 
 riiim, at the Academy of Natural Sciences at rhiladeljihia, reveals the 
 fact that about two hundred of the most valuable sficcies descril»cd in 
 Schweinity/ Synopsis of North American Fungi arc not rei)resented in 
 the lierbfirium at all, and that many of tlie s])eciniens still remaining 
 are too meager or too imjierfcct to be of much service. Coming to the 
 s[)ccics described by Berkeley & Curtis, the case is no better, but, as 
 far as specimens are concerned, even worse, the ty])es being entirely 
 beyond the reach of the ordinary student. Our knowlr^dge of these 
 species is derived from the brief descriptions in Grevillea and the 
 sup])lomentary notes by Dr. M. C. Cooke, who has also examined and 
 determined, l)y coni])arison with the original types, many of the species 
 included in the present work. 'Wo are also indebted to Di-s, Rehin, 
 Winter, and Saccardo for the identilication of many doubtful species; 
 Ijiit al)ove all to the many collectors who have furnished abundant 
 material from all parts oi" the country, thus making it possible to give 
 ail approximately comjjlete synopsis of the North American species of 
 this extensive Order. The names of these contributors ajipear in con- 
 nection with the species they have furnished. The name of Kavcnel 
 is attached to most of the sj)ecies collected by him ami described by 
 Berkeley A: Curtis in Grevillea; and Schweinitz or "'Schw." to his 
 species publisheil in the Synopsis of North American Fungi.

 Tlio system ol' diissilicittioii iidoptod (as stated elsewhere) is iiiaiidy 
 that of Di'. Winter in liahenhorsfs Enjptnganien Flora ((pioted 
 mostly in this vol. as "Die I'ilze";. Tiie system dillers from that of 
 Saccnrdo in the Syllo^e, mainly in the dift'erent <iron|)in<f ol" the jienei-a. 
 in this respect standinn' intermediate between the Saccai'dian system 
 and that adopted l)y Cooke in his ''Synopsis Pyrenomycetum." 
 
 As a j^nide to the coricet j)roninK'iati(m. the long sound of the 
 accented vowel in generic and si)eeiric names, is indicated by thegiave 
 accent ( ^ ) and the short sound by the acute ( '). 
 
 The name of the author first jtuldishing any species has been 
 retained, placed in pai'cnthesis in case the species has lieen removed 
 from the genus in wiiich it was lirst placed. The name after the 
 parenthesis has been omitted as too cumbersome and unnecessary. 
 The piratical practice ol' omitting the first name and substituting the 
 second in its place can not be too strongly comlemned. 
 
 In the case of old anil well known species we have adopted the 
 jmblished diagnoses supplemented with notes, in cases where our 
 ol)servations do not entii-ely agree with the ^dblished characters. 
 
 The measurements (in centimeters, cm., millimeters, mm., and 
 mici'omillimeters, //,) have all been made with the same optical com- 
 bination and with the same micrometrical scale. They agree gener- 
 ally with those given I)y Saccardo, Kai'sten, and Winter, but are 
 mostly less than those given by Cooke, so that it seems probable that 
 the scale we have used dillers somewhat from his. In the measure- 
 ments of asci, the length of the spore-bearing part (p. sp.) has, in most 
 cases, been given. 
 
 The illustrations by our much lamented friend, F. W. Andei-son, 
 do credit to his artistic talent, but cause us to legret that a career of 
 such brilliant i)ronuse should end so soon. The figures were made 
 from actual specimens carefully examined and accurately drawn, to 
 show the more salient characters of the genera. 
 
 The fungi of Greenland, enumerated by Professor Rostrup (see 
 page 32) have been included, as it is proba])lc that most of the species 
 found in that great continental island, will also be met with in the 
 
Ill 
 
 iiortlieni part of Hntisli America and Alaska, and in tlio elevated 
 reu'ioiit^ al(jn.t? tlie Roeky Mountain chain (nrtlier Sontli.

 (asci) containiiiv," minute, ffloli(xse, oblonjr, cylindrical or thread-like 
 liodies (s)ioridia). 
 
 Between the asci arise usually, slench-r, fdilorm lutdies (para[)h-- 
 yscs) whos(! oHice is not well understood. They have liceii suji]»osed 
 to he alxirtivc asci. 
 
 TIio perithecia are either developed directly from the mycelium, 
 separate and distinct fi'oni each other (simple), or arc more or less im- 
 hcdded in a carnose, coriaceous or carlionaceous substance called the 
 sti'oma (compound). The stroma assumes vaiious foims, ell'used, pul- 
 vinate, tubercular or vertically eIont;ated, cylin Irical or dendroid. 
 
 Often the stroma consists of the slightly altercil substance of the 
 wood or Itark. 
 
 'I'hc surface of the stroma before the devoloi>ment of the peri- 
 thecia is often clothed with a hyphomycetous growth, producing aerial 
 spoies (conidia). Also, accompanying or jjreceding the ascigcrous 
 pci'ithecia, are others (spermogonia or pycnidia) [»roducing in their 
 hymenial cavities sjiore.s (sporules) boi'ne on pedicels and not in asci. 
 
 The conidia, spci-mogonia and pycnidia are supposed to be gener- 
 icallj'^ connected with the ascigerous perithecia, but this matter is not 
 yet well understood. 
 
 Dr. Winter, whose svstematic arrangement we have mostlv 
 adopted, divides th*^ Pyrenomycetes into the ibllowing suborders. 
 
 1. PERISPORIACE.E. Perithecia with the ostiolum obscure or 
 wanting, coriaceous or brittle-carl »onaceous, opening irregularly, gen- 
 erally without any stroma, but mostly seated on a well developed, 
 superficial mycelium. 
 
 2. HVPOCREACE.'E. Perithecia with an ostiolum, and with- the 
 stroma (when present) carnose or membi-anacco-cai'nose, and briglit 
 colored (yellow, red, A'c).

 tend widely over the epidermis of the host, adherinji' to it liy means (jf

 thocia seated singly on the mycelium, memltranaceous, indehiscent, 
 globose or sometimes dej)ressed, at first colorl(»ss, then yellow, becom- 
 ing dark blown or black when mature, bearing various thi'ead-like, 
 radiating appendages. Asci arising from the Itase of the perithecium. 
 delicate, thin-walled, colorless, oblong, oval, ovate or suborbicular, 
 usually i)edicellate, containing 2-8 sporidia, which arc simple, color- 
 less, granular, oblong or oval. 
 
 The Et't/Htpheie, commoidy known as "white mildews" or 
 " blights," may be easily recognized by the white, dusty or web-like 
 coating they ibrm on the leaves, or other succulent parts of many com- 
 mon plants. They freijuently grow throughout the summer, but 
 usually oidy reach their full development in the fall, when the j)eri- 
 thecia, or little fruit-balls, may be seen by good unaided eyes, scattered 
 over the whitened surface of the leaves. 
 
 The very abundant mycelium consists of numerous slender, white 
 or colorless, septate threads that branch widely, and extend over the 
 leaf in every direction, freiiuently crossing and interlacing. These 
 threads are usually pressed close to the host, but they do not them- 
 selves enter it. They send out at intervals, however, short, sj)ecial 
 branches called haustoria, that penetrate the epidermal cells, serving 
 for the secure attachment of the fungus, and j)robably also for its*

 iiaiistorinm proper takes its rise anti penetrates tlie e])idei'mis. This 
 external appendaue may Ite smooth and entire, merely constituting a 
 hemisphei'ieal swellin.sr on the mycelial thread, or, it uiay take the 
 form of a Ihittencid disk with an indented marjiin. In the latter case 
 It is said to l»e " lohed," in the former, "not lol)ed." 
 
 The conidia, or asexual rejtroductive liodies, are cylindrical, oval 
 or nearly orhicular, sim])le, colorless cells fdled with protoplasm. 
 They are I'ormed l>y constriction at the ends ol" sliort, simple, erect, 
 rather stout, sejjtate, colorless hranches of the niycolium, called fertile 
 liyi)ha; or coindio})hores. A sei»tum forms near the end of the young 
 hypha, and the walls at this point become constricted. The ccl' thus 
 cut olf usually swells a little, and at length Aalls away as a matuie 
 conidium. JJcfore this ha])pens, however, other constrictions have 
 taken ))lace below, thus forming a chain of nearly mature conidia 
 adhering end to end. Under favorable conditions they germinate 
 (|uickly, .<<ending out a slender tube, vhich, on the jn-oper host, soon 
 develops into a new u'ycelium. They are jiroduced in innnense num- 
 bers tlii'oughout the growing season, and, as they are very light and 
 easily carried liy t\w wirul, they serve for the rapid increase and wide 
 distribution of the parasite. 
 
 The perithecium remains on the fallen leaves over winter. It is 
 not provided with a mouth or ostiolum of any kind. The contained 
 asci and sporidia only escape on its decay in the spring. 
 
 Delicate membranaceous conceptacles, other than the perithecia. 
 are sometimes found in connection with the mycelium of the Erynl- 
 jihcie. They are thin-walled, and, on sliglit pressure, rupture irregu- 
 larly, emitting immense nund)ers of minute, oblong, nucleated spores, 
 immersed in a gelatinous fluid. They were noticed l)y Cesati, in con- 
 nection with the grajic mildew. Sujiposing them to l»e independent 
 organisms, he named them Aiuj)eIomycei< qn/sqvalis, and specimens 
 were published under that name as No. 1609 in Rabenhorst's Herba- 
 I'ium Mycologicum. Later they were iiaWed Cicinobolnn JlorentiiniK 
 by Ehreubcrg, and liyssocysfis textilis by Riess. Tulasne, Mold. 
 
jiiul others, fiiKliiig that those coneeptaeles were liorno on the same 
 iiiyeeliuiu as the ooiiidia and jierithceia, naturally conehuled that they 
 were oi"'M8 of the same plant, and, (roni their analoiiy to certain 
 asexual i roductive bodies in allied ,irron|ts of the Asconnjeetcti, called 
 them pycnidia, and the niinnte l»odies they contain, srtylosporea or 
 pycnidiospores. This is still the accepted Itclier of many botanists. 
 De Ikry (Morph. and Thys. der l^ilze, 111, }.}). 63-75, TaCeln VI, VI I), 
 shows that the jtycnidia instead ol' being reproductive organs ol' the 
 Erysiphc, are, in reality, the IVuctilication ol'a I'ungus that is jiai-asitic 
 on the Eryslphe. lie calls it CIchiobolus. CemtiL and gives numerous 
 (igures showing its delicate, septate mycelium, develojiing within the 
 mycelial threads of the Eryi<ipfH', and sending up branches which, by 
 repeated division, foi-ni the cellular wall of the pycnidium. 
 
 There is much confusion in i-egard to the nomenclature of this 
 group. The earlier authors, with poor magnifiers or none at all, made 
 meager descriptions of their supjiosed species, for which I'oason it is 
 often impossililc to determine from Iheii' writings what they had in 
 hand. I Tost jihints ai'e not so nnich of a guide here as in most cases 
 for parasites, though many specific names have been jtroposed, it seems 
 solely upon the ol)served hal)ilat of the fungus. In what follows, an 
 earnest endeavor has lieen made to identiiy and describe true species 
 wherever they grow. Tlx' l>ullelin of the Illinois State ]jaI)oratory 
 of Natural Ifistory, Volume II, Article A' I, Pardsitlc Fungi of

 basis of tills woi'k. This bulletin was founded upon collections made 
 in Illinois, mostly by A. H. Seymour who also made studies upon the 
 si)ecies.

 This species i)robably occurs on many other hosts, esjiecially upon 
 other Rosacote, upon which the fungus has usually been identihed as 
 S, Castagnei. 
 
 Common throughout Xorth America east of the Rocky ^fountains. 
 In California Dr. I larkness reports S. Castagnei on hop leaves. This 
 is no doubt what is here called S. HumnU. 
 
 It is exceedingly dilTicult to determine from literature upon what 
 hosts S. ILiinidi occurs, Ijecause it is very rarely sei)arated from

 The distinction between tiie two species in (juestion is, however, 
 ap[(arently real in the fact that the characteristically larjre, ii're<iular 
 cells of the wall of the jierithcciuui ol' /{). Citxtnynei aie not foinid in 
 those called *S'. Ilin/iitli, and the sjtoiidia of tlie latter constantly 
 averajic lai\<rer than those of the former. The dilVcrence also in the 
 ap]»eiuliiii'es seenis to indicate sjtccilic distinction. Tidasiie's (i<rure 
 (Select Fuufi'. Carp. I, t^di W, hjr. 5*j cleai'ly shows these pecidiarities 
 of S. Ilnntuli, the name then used lor the funiius. The much more 
 abundant mycelium of aS. ^'/»«ow, and the smaller ap|)endn<res suffi- 
 ciently separate that fi'om S. Ilnmuli, thoujih the affinities appear to 
 be (piite as close here as betAveen the latter and S. Ccttitaf/zici, with 
 which only our plant has been confounded. 
 
 This is a very destructive jiariisite, esjiecially on cultivated hops, 
 in the Old as well as in the New World. On raspberries it also does con- 
 siderable damaire, thou<>h in many cnses only the conidia are produced. 
 
 On Geranium muriilatinn the cells of the wall of the jierithccium 
 vary nuich, even in the same mount under the microscope, but the spo- 
 ridia and other characteristics are those of y8. Ilnmuli.

 delicate, much interwoven with the mycelium, sometimes colored.

 Winter (Die Pilze, II, j). 20) and Saccardo (Syll. Fung. I, p. 2) 
 describe this species with hyaline apijcndages; but Tulasnc (Select 
 Fung. Carp. I, p. 208) descril)es them as colored. They frequently 
 are colored in our specimens. De IJary (Morph. und Phys. der Pilze,

 Amphigenous. Mycelium white, submembranaccous, persistent. 
 
Poritliot'ia few or nuiiioroiis, immersed in the mycelium, small 75-85 /^, 
 glol)08e orsiiltjtyriform; appendaf^es of two kinds, in [)art rudimontary, 
 lloccose, deo|»Iy colored, attached in a broad tuft to the smaller end 
 of the i)yriform pcritliecium, the otiioi's strongly developed, rigid, 
 straiglit or curved, continuous or sej)tate, simple or rarely forked at 
 the extremity, deej)ly coIohmI at base, becoming j)alo outwardly, 
 attaclied in a loose cluster op|)osite the rudimentary ones, 2-5 times 
 the diameter of the j)erithccium. Ascusoval to std)globose. Sporidia 
 8, 20-30 fi long. 
 
 On upjicr jtai'ts of tlie twigs of /*?//•«« Maltis, especially in nurs- 
 eries of young trees, and ujton the suckers from old ones. Not appar- 
 ently very frecpient but exceedingly al)undant at times, Mississippi 
 Valley, and probably eastward. 
 
 This exceedingly interesting species has not been well separated 
 from PodoHphmni Oj'.yncdnthm which occui-s on the same host and to 
 casual observation has nuTbh the same ai)pearance. In our species the 
 tii)s of the I'trge ai)pendages are occasionally forked (once or even 
 slightly twice), which again may have been confusing. But these 
 vagiu', stiff branches are totally unlike the dichotomous divisions of 
 PodoupJuvra, and otliei'wise the s})ecies are very distinct. The tuft 
 of short, interwoven, rudimentary ai)})eiidages, like a dense cluster of 
 short loots, is a very characteristic mai-k. 
 
 There is still some doubt as to the name. Evidently Enjsiphe 
 JTdJf, Moug. usuallv given as a varietv of ErysipJie adn?ica, (Fi'lc^ 
 Syst. Myc. Ill, p. '245, Wallr. P^lora" Germ. IV, p. 755, A'c.) is a 
 different thing, but Duby's description (Botanicon Gallicum I, j). 869) 
 so Ihr as it goes, is sufficiently correct for our species. Enjslphe 
 Mall, Duby, in Roumeguere's Fungi Galilei Exsiccati is a Sphcu- 
 I'otheva, and seems to be the same as our plant, though the specimen 
 examined was insufficient foi' satisfactory comparison. It is moreover 
 scarcely possible that this host should have a solely American parasite 
 of this kind upon it, hence the preference given in the nomenclature.

 'riie ibrms here included under M. Alni have lieen assijrned by 
 dilVercnt authors to various species, distinuuished, for the most part, l)v 
 the number of the asci and sporidia. Tn all of these foiius, the size of 
 the perithocia, even when standinjr side by side on the same leaf, is 
 (juite variable, and, as a consequence, the numl)er anil shajie of the asci 
 they contain vary e(jually widely. Very small perithecia contain only 
 a few (2-4) suborbicular asci, while lar^'er ones contain a ureater nuiii- 
 l)er, which, owing to lateral crowding, are narrower and longer. The 
 sporidia are by no means con.^tant in number, even in asci from the 
 same perithecium. It is manifestly impossible to maintain specific dis-

 Whether this is really the G. eniarghmfa. Fckl., may 1>c open to 
 some doubt. The speec. distributed in Fungi Khenani are (sec. Win-

 are given in the original diagnosis. In the Newfield speec, as well a? 
 in those in the Exsiccati quoted, the jterithecia can hardly 1k3 called

 Pustules prominent, convexdiemispherical, 2-3 mm. diani., closely 
 covered l)y the cinereous epidermis, and uneven from the projecting 
 ))erithecia which (10-20 in numUer) arc closely packed within and 
 covered l)y a scanty stroma formed from t\w scarcely altered sulistancc 
 (tf the bark, aliout ^ mm. diam., with short, convei-gent necks, and the 
 minute, papilliform, black ostiola crowded and eium))ent, but scarcely 
 exsertcd. Asci slendcr-clavatc, 35-40x3 /t. Sporidia suldtiseriate.

 Stroma valsoid, immersed in the wood or bark, and surroun(le<l 
 by a I)lack, circumscri!)ing line. Perithecia in one or several layers, 
 never simply circinatc, with rather thick, subcoriaccous walls, bkick 
 and shining inside when mature. Ostiola stellate-cleft. Asci long- 
 stipitate, 8-sporcd. Sporidia allantoid, mostly yellowish-hyaline. 
 
 The most obvious character se[)arating this from Vaha is the 
 stellate-cleft ostiola.

 The measurements of asci and s]ioridia aie from the Florida

 mostly smaller. The Florida specc. [M. Yunnanensis) also difler

 maru'iiied, thalloid, elliizurate suhiculum. The aenus Mijrlanginm

 classe(l anioiin' the L/r/icus, Imt the ahsence of spermoji'ones and troni-

 iiiycoloLdcal system is also doubtful, Imt its allinity seems to us with 
 the Dnthidaaced'. Eiiri/thcni, He Seynes, is closely allicfj. We have

 We find the asci ami sporidia altout as in the preceding species, though 
 in the Sylloge they are said to lie longer and narrower. This is dis- 
 tinguished from I), concentriv.a by its shiniug-hlack stroma, and the 
 looser texture of the radiate-fihrous inner substance which is cut hy 
 S-12 dark colored, memlu-anaceous horizontal layers or ])lates. These 
 are very noticeal)le in a vertical section even in the young i)lant, while 
 it is still covered with the eonidial layer and before the terminal, suli- 
 <f|ol)ose, ascigerous stroma has begun to appear. In the mature state, 
 the lil)rous inner substance and the horizontal mcndtranes disappear 
 to a greater or less extent, and leave the stroma more or loss hollow, 
 <o that it may be easily crushed with the fingers, but in D. convent rica 
 the inner substance remains firm and is also of a darker color.

 The above diagnosis is from specc. in Iloib. U. S. Do])t. of Agri- 
 culture, collected by Wright in Nicaragua. The young stromata are 
 at first entirely enclosed in a common carlionaceous stroma (see PI. 38, 
 fig. 2) from which they finally emerge separate and distinct. The 
 specimens ditfer somewhat from those collected in Cuba by Ptippig, 
 and figured as Camillea Sagrwana by Dr. Rehni, in Hedwigia, 1889, 
 ))p. 300 and 301, in l)eing distinctly stipitate, with the stromata not 
 constricted in the middle; the sporidia also, in the Cuban specimens, 
 are smaller (9-10x4//). Currcy in his Compound /S7>/ir«r/rt« (plate 
 XIjV, fig. 24) also figures the spoi-idia of M. Sagrmana and makes 
 tlicm 10 n long, but whether the Nicaragua specc. are specifically dis- 
 tinct, can on.ly l)o determined by the examination of a more complete 
 sot of specimens.

 ovate-elliptical, 3-5-septate, constricted at the middle septum, one or

 7-8 fjt. 
 
 On decorticated, exposed wood, also (but less frequently) on dead 
 limbs still covered M'ith the l)ark; common. 
 
 Var. Gerardi, C. & P., has the perithecia mostly shorter and 
 bi-oader, with the lips more open ; var. vitkolum, C. & P., has the 
 asci mostly shorter and broader, 75-90 x 15-18 ft, and the sporidia 
 more or less perfectly biseriate. Cooke makes the sporidia 3Gx 12 //. 
 We find none over 25 x 8 //. //. Rousselii, De Not, (sec. specc. from 
 Gerard, compared by him witii authentic specc. from Duby), can not 
 be distiii<>uisho(l in any way from H. Mori, Schw., as rejn-esented l)y 
 specc. in Herb. Schw., nor can we, after a careful examination of many 
 specc. from different localities, durinsif the past ten years, find nny 
 reliable characters by whicii any of the so-called species altove (piotod 
 can be safely separated. Specimens of //. liouHselii, with elon<ratO(l 
 perithecia, appear quite distinct from specc. of //. Gerdrdi, C. & P.. 
 with shorter, oblong- or elliptical perithecia, l>ut these extremes arc 
 connected by a f^rjvduated series of forms passing impercejttildy into 
 each other so as to completely fill up the gap; nor do the s{)oridia fur- 
 nish any distinctive characters. At first they are 3-septate, becoming 
 almost always 5-sei>tate, and not seldom ()-7-sei)tate. 
 
 H. varisibile, C. & P. Disc, of the U. S. p. 33. 
 
 "Erumpent, then superficial, following the interstices of the 
 woody filters of the matrix, narrowly elliptical or linear and elongated, 
 straight or flexuous, often parallel, faintly striate-nigose, flattened along 
 the apex, slightly narrowed at each end, lips closely connivent. Asci 
 cylindrical, stipitate. Sporidia uniseriate, very v.M'iable in size and 
 form, ovate or elliptical, or broadly clavate, constricted in the middle. 
 5-7-septate, at length with longitudinal divisions, dark brown." 
 
 On old chestnut posts, ttc. New York (Peck). 
 
 The Ibregoing is the diagnosis given l)y Cke. (1. c). Specc. from 
 Peck have the perithecia crowded, 1-2 nun. long; lips incurved so as 
 to leave a distinct furrow along the apex, often l)ut jtartially closed. 
 exposing the linear disk. Often the )>erithecia are marked with a 
 single deep furrow close to and parallel with the lips, but quite as 
 often the furrow is wanting and the flattened apex of the perith(HMiim 
 is faintly transversely I'ugulose. Asci paraphysate, short-stipitate.
