Cupulomyces, A New Genus Of Laboulbeniales (Asomycetes) Based On Stigmatomyces Lasiochili, Richard K. Benjamin
Cupulomyces, A New Genus Of Laboulbeniales (Asomycetes) Based On Stigmatomyces Lasiochili, Richard K. Benjamin
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
A new genus of Laboulbeniales, Cupulomyces, is described. Its type species, C. lasiochili, is based on Stigmatomyces lasiochili, originally described by Roland Thaxter in I 917. This taxon subsequently has been classified in two other genera, Hesperomyces and Acompsomyces. Structure and development of the thallus of C. lasiochili are described and illustrated with photographs and line drawings. Distinctive features of the receptacle, appendage, and perithecium warrant recognition of a new genus.
A New Genus Of Laboulbeniales (Ascomycetes) On A Species Of Phalacrichus (Coleoptera: Dryopoidea: Limnichidae), With A Note On Mirror-Image Asymmetry In The Order, Richard K. Benjamin
A New Genus Of Laboulbeniales (Ascomycetes) On A Species Of Phalacrichus (Coleoptera: Dryopoidea: Limnichidae), With A Note On Mirror-Image Asymmetry In The Order, Richard K. Benjamin
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
A new genus ofLaboulbeniales, with two species, Phalacrichomyces normalis (type) and P. anomalus, is described from Phalacrichus diligens (Coleoptera: Dryopoidea; Limnichidae). Phalacrichomyces is placed in the Stigmatomycetinae of the Laboulbeniaceae where it appears to be most nearly related to Stemmatomyces and Synandromyces among the other 39 genera of the subtribe. The new taxa are characterized and salient features of the structure and development of their ascomata are summarized and illustrated with photographs and line drawings. The ascomata of associated pairs of P. anomalus display a remarkable degree of mirror-image asymmetry. This phenomenon, which appears to be a characteristic, although …
Aggregated Cones In Pinus Halepensis, Simcha Lev-Yadun
Aggregated Cones In Pinus Halepensis, Simcha Lev-Yadun
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
Aggregated female cones were found in 192 Pinus halepensis trees growing in 54 populations in Israel, in habitats of vastly differing ecological conditions. All of these trees also carried normal (1-5 in a whorl) female cones. The number of aggregates per tree varied from one to several dozen. Some of the trees formed aggregates every year, after the first year of aggregate formation, while others formed aggregates only once, or at long intervals. Not all cones in the aggregates reached maturity. The number of cones in an aggregate ranged from six to 62, and they were usually smaller than normal. …
