Some Leafspot Fungi on Western Gramineae-XIV

Abstract

Continued search in the western area has brought to light additional material contributing to our knowledge of the fungi parasitizing grasses. A number of collections were made June 10, 11, 1959 along French Creek, Snohomish County, Washington. In late July of the same year some specimens were obtained in the vicinity of Mt. Adams, Yakima County, Washington. Still later in August and early September, 1959 several hundred specimens were obtained in the Bitter Root Mountains along the Idaho-Montana border and then scatteringly eastward through Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota and Michigan. Additional specimens were oltained by examination of the phanerogamic grass collections of the )elpartment of Botany Herbarium, Washington State University, Marion Ownbey, Curator (23). In addition, a number of specimens were sent in for (letermination. The first mentioned species in this paper is included in this category.
