A NEW BOLETUS FROM JAMAICA

WILLIAM A. MURRILL

During the winter of 1907-8, two species of Boletaceae, the only representatives of the family known from the island, were collected in Jamaica. One of these, Rostkovites granulatus, was rather common at Cinchona, at an elevation of 5,000 feet, but, being a temperate species, did not occur at lower elevations. The other, described below, was found in the famous Cockpit Country, a limestone region of 2,000 feet elevation, which has yielded many botanical novelties in recent years.

Gyroporus jamaicensis sp. nov.

Pileus fleshy, small, convex, circular in outline, 1.8 cm. in diameter, 5 mm. thick; surface umbrinous, viscid, finely areolate in places, cuticle tough: context white, unchanging, I mm. thick behind, taste slightly mucilaginous; hymenium readily separating from the context, nearly plane, slightly distant from the stipe, tubes white throughout, unchanging, 3.5 mm. long, mouths circular, regular, 4-5 to a mm., edges thin, conspicuously denticulate spores elongate, smooth, hyaline, 10-12 X 4-5 μ: stipe central, white, subglabrous, smooth, cylindric, curved, 3 cm. long, 3.5 mm. thick, slightly tapering at the base.

Type collected in Troy, Jamaica, at an elevation of 670 meters, in grass in a young growth of coppice on the north slope of a small hill, January 12, 1909, W. A. Murrill & W. Harris 1093.

NEWS AND NOTES

Dr. W. A. Murrill, assistant director of the Garden and editor of MYCOLOGIA, recently spent several weeks in Europe examining types of fungi in various European herbaria.

Mr. F. D. Kern, assistant to Dr. J. C. Arthur of the agricultural experiment station, Lafayette, Indiana, has taken up his residence in New York City as fellow in botany in Columbia University. As part of his major work, Mr. Kern will continue his researches on the genus Gymnosporangium.

Mr. Guy West Wilson, for several years past professor of biology in Upper Iowa University, Fayette, Iowa, and formerly research scholar in the New York Botanical Garden, has recently accepted the position of assistant in vegetable pathology in the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station.

Mr. Wilmer G. Stover, formerly assistant in the department of botany at Miami University, has been appointed instructor in botany in the Ohio State University, to supply the place made vacant by assistant professor Griggs, who is on leave of absence for one year. In addition to other duties, Mr. Stover will have charge of a course in mycology and fungous diseases of plants for the agricultural college students.

Mr. B. O. Dodge, of Columbia University, accompanied by Mrs. Dodge, spent a week in September at White Post, Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley, collecting fungi. Special attention was given to parasitic fungi occurring on the estate of Mr. Graham F. Brandy.

Mr. Fred J. Seaver, director of the laboratories, spent a part of August and September collecting fungi in the Rocky Moun
