The Genus Merulius III. Species of Merulius and Phlebia Proposed by Schweinitz and Peck

Thirteen species, one n. comb. and one variety of Merulius and Phlebia proposed by Schweinitz and Peck are redescribed and 8 type specimens illustrated. The following names are placed in synonymy: P. acerina and M. pruni with M. rufus Fr.; M. confluens, M. pallens and M. ulmi with M. corium (Fr.) Fr.; M. irpicinus with Serpula pinastri (Fr.) W. B. Cooke; M. lacrimans var. terrestris with S. lacrimans (Fr.) Schroet.; P. pileata with Punctularia strigosozonata (Schw.) Talbot; M. rubellus with M. incarnatus Schw.; M. subaurantiacus with M. molluscus Fr.; and M. tenuis with S. himantioides (Fr.) Karst. Phlebia hydnoidea may belong in Veluticeps Cooke. P. cinnabarina is tied to a type which may be in Fries' herbarium. The type of P. coccineofulva is in poor condition and not a Phlebia. Type specimens were not found for M. brassicaefolius, M. roseus and M. sulcatus; the latter is rejected as a noim. dub. M. cupressi is discarded as being tied to a type which lacks any sign of a fungus. The remaining species (types not seen) are disposed in accordance with the studies of other workers as: M. odoratus as Cantharellus odoratus (Schw.) Schw.; M. strigosozonatus as Punctularia strigosozonata; and M. spathularia as Dacryopinax spathularia (Schw.) G. W. Martin.

The Location of Carotenoid Pigments and Thickness of the Cell Wall in Light- and Dark-Grown Cells of Dacryopinax spathularia

SUMMARYLight-grown cells of Dacryopinax spathularia contained almost eight times the concentration of carotenoid pigments as did dark-grown cells. That the highest concentration of pigments occurred in the cell walls was demonstrated by a cytological study employing antimony trichloride as a stain, and by analysis of cell fractions following sonication and differential sedimentation. Electron microscopy showed that the cell walls of light-grown cells were between 1.5 and 1.9 times as thick as those of dark-grown cells.
