The Hypocreales of New Zealand—VII A Revision of Records and Species in the Hypocreaceae By Joan M. Dingley, Plant Diseases Division, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Auckland [Received by the Editor, May 6, 1955] Summary Records of species of Hypocreaceae from New Zealand have been re-examined and revised. Six new species are described. Australian records are discussed where they have reference to New Zealand species. During an overseas visit in 1952, further material was studied in the Hypocreaceae. In the Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, material was made available through the courtesy of the Director, Sir Edward Salisbury, and of Dr. R. W. G. Dennis. The author wishes to thank Dr. S. P. Wiltshire for the privilege of using the facilities of the Commonwealth Mycological Institute, and to Mr. E. W. Mason, of that Institute, for his helpful advice and criticism. Examination of this material has necessitated changes in names of many species listed in previous papers (Dingley 1951a, 1951b, 1952a, 1952b); some were misdeterminations, whilst others have proved to be synonyms of earlier described species. As many early New Zealand records are based on material forwarded to Kew for identification, these records have been checked and listed accordingly. Some Australian records have been discussed, but only where they have some reference to New Zealand material. Valid species are listed in black letters, synonyms in italics, whilst misdeterminations are listed in capitals and small capitals. Species and genera of the perfect stages are arranged in alphabetical order. Calonectria de Notaris, Comm. Soc. Crittogram Ital., 2, 477, 1867; 1909. Scoleconectria Seaver.

Seeler. The type collection of Calonectria polythalama in Kew herbarium is labelled “Bay of Islands, New Zealand, J. D. Hooker, ex Herb. Berkeley.” It shows perithecia typical of Thyronectria pseudotrichia. An American collection filed in the same folder belongs to a different species. Gibberella Sacc., Michelia, 1, 43, 1877. 1849. Gibbera, Fr. Summa Veg. Scand., 402 (in part). 1863. Botryosphaeria Cesati & de Not., Comment. Soc. Crittogam Ital. 1, 211. Gibberella baccata (Wallr.) Sacc., Syll. Fung., 2, 553, 1883. (1817.

G. lateritium (Nees) Snyder & Hansen, American J. Botany, 32, 664. New Zealand material is comparable with overseas collections. Following Wollenweber (1943) Fusarium lateritium has been considered a synonym of F. lateritium var. fructigenum; and the related perfect form, Gibberella euonymi, has also been treated similarly. Fusarium carneo-roseum was described from New Zealand material forwarded by T. Kirk to Kew; Wollenweber & Reinking (1935) listed it as a synonym of F. lateritium. Gibberella cyanogena (Desm.) Sacc., Syll. Fung., 2, 555, 1883. Collections listed by Dingley (1952b) are misdeterminations; since the species is not present in New Zealand. Collections so listed have proved on re-examination to be of G. flacca. Gibberella flacca (Wallr.) Sacc., Michelia, 1, 317, 1878. 1833. Sphaeria flacca Wallr., Flora Crypt. Germ. 2. 838. 1863.

Sacc. var. flacca Wollenw., Zeitschi fur Parasit. 3, 365, 1931. Further study of collections listed by Dingley (1952b) as G. cyanogena has proved them to be typical of G. flacca. Gibberella intricans Wollenweber, Zeitschr. fur Parasit., 3, 332, 1931. 1838. Selenosporium equiseti Corda, Icon. Fung 2., 7. 1886. Fusarium equiseti (Corda) Sacc., Syll. Fung. 4. 707. Dingley (1952b) listed G. pulicaris (Fr.) Sacc. on Arundo kakaho; this collection is not typical of G. pulicaris, but from descriptions and illustrations appears to be of G. intricans Wollenw. Gibberella macrolopha (Sydow) Dingley, Trans. Roy. Soc. N. Z., 79, 406, 1952. 1924. Botryosphaeria macrolopha Sydow., Ann. Myc., 22 300.

Gibberella Pulicaris (Fr.) Sacc. Michelia. 1, 43, 1877. Collections listed by Dingley (1952b) are misdeterminations. Although the species is listed by Berkeley (1860) and by Cooke (1892) there are no collections from New Zealand in Kew Herbarium. Gibberella Pulicaris (Fr.) Sacc. var. minor. Wollenw., Zeitschr fur Parasit., 3, 356, 1931. Wollenweber in “Fusarium autographice delineata” (1935) recorded a collection from New Zealand labelled “1117b, ex Humuli Novo-zeelandia, Curtis.” His illustration is comparable with collections from hops described as G. saubinetii (Mont) Sacc in this list. Gibberella saubinetii (Mont.) Sacc., Michelia, 1, 513, 1879. 1846. Sphaeria saubinetii Durieu & Mont, Flora d'Algerie. 1 479 Sphaeria polycocca Mont. in Herb. 1863. Botryosphaeria polycocca (Mont.) Ces. & de Not, Comment Soc. Crittogam Ital., 1, iv. 212. 1870. Fusarium sambucinum. Fel., Symb. Myc. 167. 1883. Gibberella polycocca (Mont.) Sacc., Syll. Fung., 2. 556. A collection recorded by Dingley (1952b) as G. pulicaris on Ulex is correctly determined as G. saubinetti. There are two collections filed in Kew herbarium from Australia, namely, “ex Tasmania, ex Herb. Berkeley” and “794 von Mueller. Victoria, on Staphelia fraseri”; the former collection is immature and cannot be classified, the latter is the same fungus that Cooke described as Nectria ferruginea. It is not a typical member of the Hypocreaceae but belongs to the Dothideales. Gibberella zeae (Schw.) Petch, Annales Mycologici, 34, 260, 1936. (1822. Sphaeria zeae Schw. Schrift de Naturf.
