NOTE 261. Chlamydopus Meyerianus from W. A. Archer, New Mexico. A fine specimen<br />

and a particularly rare species. This is the third collection known from the United<br />

States. Many years ago a specimen from New Mexico reached Berkeley, and Prof. C. V.<br />

Piper in 1902 sent me a fine collection from Pasco, Washington and an interesting<br />

account of its habits. (Cfr. Myc. Notes, p. 134). The species came originally from Peru<br />

and a single collection now at Kew is known from Australia and one from North Africa.<br />

Spegazzini records it from South America, and these are all the records or specimens<br />

known.<br />

NOTE 262. Gyrophragmium Texense, from W. A. Archer, New Mexico. Same as<br />

Gyrophragmium decipiens from California and both are too close to Gyrophragmium Delilei<br />

of Mediterranean regions. (Cfr. Myc. Notes, p. 196).<br />

NOTE 263. Platygloea Miedzyrzecensis (with apologies for the name), from Rev. H.<br />

Bourdot, Allier, France. The genus Platygloea was proposed by Schroeter (Pilz. Schles. p.<br />

384) and defined as having basidia divided by partitions into four compartments. He lists<br />

three species, nigricans on Tilia, cushion shape, white ; fimicola on manure, disciform<br />

flesh colored ; and effusa on a stump, resupinate bluish or yellowish white. All were soft,<br />

waxy-gelatinous texture. He did not give any figure of the basidia.<br />

This work came out in parts. I think this part was issued August, 1887. The next<br />

year Brefeld brought out his Part 7 and what was evidently the first species of Schroeter<br />

was characterized, figured and called Tachaphantium Tiliae and the basidia here first<br />

shown. Saccardo in compiling it evidently thought it the same as Schroeter's species (as<br />

it evidently is) for he cross referenced them but did not consolidate them.<br />

I was glad to get this material from Rev. H. Bourdot as it is the first time I have<br />

been able to make out basidia of this type. In these specimens they are easily seen. They<br />

are simply the swollen ends of the hyphae, which are curved, first filled with granular<br />

matter, then divided by septa (3 to 5) and send out just below each septum a sterigma<br />

bearing the spore. The various figures given of these basidia all impress me as more<br />

diagrammatic than natural. The septa so strongly shown are usually indistinct. The<br />

basidia are curved, not straight as usually shown. The figure in Patouillard's Essai page 13<br />

(of Helicogloea which is the "new genus" that Patouillard discovered it to be) is the<br />

most natural but in this the septations are inaccurate in relation to the sterigmata. Every<br />

time they find a little, gelatinous plant with these basidia, it is a new species and ten<br />

have accumulated in Europe. We do not seem to have them in the United States, at least<br />

we have no one who has hunted for them, or observed them, or who would have known them<br />

had he found them.
