This plan was followed in part, but several fsmiles proved to have numerous representatives in the province. /Three families, the Erysiphaceae, Mycosphaerellaceae, and Pl'eosporaceae, are treated in detail as they occur. Representatives of the remaining families, although not as numerous, are keyed out and listed.^in the, same way. This survey is in no way suggested as being complete, rather i t i s a preliminary study upon which further intensive work may be based. i i . Historical Survey There has been no previous intensive collecting of Pyrenomycetes in the province* Certain collections made by John Macoun were determined by Dearness (1916, 1917), and earlier by E l l i s and Everhart (1887, 1891, 1892, 1898)» References to those specimens described or mentioned have been included in this l i s t . The Dominion Laboratories of Plant Pathology at Summerland, Saanichton and Vancouver, the Dominion Laboratory of Forest Pathology at victoria, and the Provincial Plant Pathologists have contributed records of plant and forest pathogens. These records, published in the Canadian Plant Disease Surveys from 1920 to the present, have been studies; the prevalence of those fungi in the province i s reported as obtained from the surveys. Any other references found in the literature are also included, in order to make this l i s t as complete as possible. 1 NATURAL FEATURES Geographical Regions British Columbia extends from the 49th parallel to the 60th parallel of latitude and from the crest of the Rocky Mountains west to the Pacific Ocean* The eastern boundary of the province follows the axis of the Rockies to the 54th parallel and follows longitude 120° from there to the 60th parallel of latitude* Between 55° and 60° latitude on the west, the Panhandle of Alaska cuts off the province from the ocean* It is roughly 760 by 470 miles, and covers an area of 355,855 square miles* British Columbia is predominately mountainous. The Rocky Mountains on the east form the northern end of the Cordilleran belt, consisting of the upturned edges of the strata underlying the Great Plains on the east, chiefly alluvial and carboniferous limestone. They .-range in height from an average of 8000 to 10,000 feet; some peaks reach 13,500 feet in the south of the province. The Rocky Mountain trench extends throughout the length of the province, with variation in width from 2 to 15 miles* The Columbia mountains extend from the United States to the Eraser River, latitude 53° 45', with an average width of 80 miles, to form the western rim of the trench* The Columbia system includes the Purcell and Selkirk trenches in the south and the Cariboo Range, the Peace and Stikine Mountains in the north* The central region of the plateaux and mountains, 200 miles wide, is a much dissected and eroded tableland, with soil composed of disintegrated lava and glacial grift* The topography is characteristically of two types: deep-cut U-shaped valleys 1000 to 2000 feet above sea l e v e l , occupying one-third of the area, and r o l l i n g upland plateaux, 3500 to 5000 feet in elevation* The Coast Range, 6000 to 7000 feet high and about 100 miles wide, forms a barrier between the Interior Plateau and the ocean* These mountains are composed of massive crystalline rocks of an ancient period© West of the Mainland l i e s the pa r t i a l l y submerged Island Range, which forms an archepelago of islands, including Queen Charlotte and Vancouver Islands* The deeply submerged Coastal Trench l i e s between this range and the Mainland, forming the system of fiords and straits characterizing the B r i t i s h Columbia coast© The climate of Br i t i s h Columbia i s chiefly influenced by the Japan Current, the eleven degrees of latitude thro ugh which the province extends, end the extremes of altitude from sea level to the highest mountain peak at 13,5000feet* Waxm moisture-laden a i r currents sweep inland over the Japan Current, are c h i l l e d i n ascent of the western slope of the mountain ranges and there deposit their moisture* This produces alternating wet and dry belts, andmoderates e_tremes of temperature* The Lower Coast Belt i s characterized by mild, even temperatures, and precipitation of 60 to 70 inches, of which one-third occurs during the summer months* The North Coast Belt averages about 5° lower i n mean temperature and has a precipitation of 110 inches, with a part of the winter precipitation as snow* The Interior Plateau or Dry Belt shows greater variation i n temperature, with means from 14° in January to 67° i n July, and a limited precipitation of 11 to 13 inches* The second Wet Belt has 3. relatively the same temperature range aa the Dry Belt, hut greater pre-cipitation, from 27 to 60 inches* The Second or Columbia Dry Belt, forming the western rim of the Rocky Mountain trench, has a slig h t l y lower mean winter temperature but a mean summer temperature similar to that of the Second Wet Belt; precipitation varies from 13 to 17 inches* The Great Northern Belt i s subject to greater extremes i n temperature; precipitation •axles from 16 to 20 inches, of which nearly half f a l l s during the growing season* phanerogamic Flora The coastal region of Br i t i s h Columbia i s covered in great part by coniferous forests* The types of the forests may be characterized b r i e f l y as: 1* Douglas fir-cedar type, prevalent at lower altitudes to 3000 feet, on Vancouver Island and the Mainland, consisting of Pseudotsuga t a x i f o l i a , Thuja plicata, Tsuga heterophylla, Abies amabilis, Pinus monticola, and Picea sitchensis* 2* Giant cedar-hemlock type, at a higher altitude and north of the coastal type, to 4000 feet, consisting of Thuja plicata, Tsuga heterophylla, Abies amabilis, Picea sitchensis, Chamaecyparis nootkatensis, and Pinus monticola* 3* Western hemlock-Sitka spruce type, on the Queen Charlotte Islands and North Coast, consisting of Tsuga heterophylla, Picea sitchensis, Thflja plicata, Chamaecyparis nootkatensis, and Abies amabilis* 4* Hemlock-white f i r type, at higher altitudes and on more exposed sites, chiefly Tsuga heterophylla and Abies amabilis, with some Picea sitchensis, Thuja plicata, and Pinus contorts* 5* Sub-alpine type, above the hemlock-white f i r type and below timber l i n e , consisting of Tsuga Jdertensiana, Abies lasiocarpa, Pinus 4* contorts, Pleea aitehensis and Tsuga heterophylla. The underbrush consists mainly of Gaultheria shallon, Olopanax horrida (Echinopanax horridum)» Rubus speetabilia; ferns include Polyatiehum, Adiantum, Dryopteris, Poly- podium, and Pteridium spp. Deciduous trees i n the coastal region include Acer macrophyllum, A* circinatum, Rhamnus Purshlana, Arbutus Menziesii, Alnus oregona, Onerous Garryana, Populus trlchocarpa, Salix spp., Betula spp., Prunus spp* The semi-desert or drybelt regions of Bri t i s h Columbia are character-ized by the scarcity or absence of trees and predominance of grasses, sagebrush, golden rod, balsam root, and other xerophytic plants* There are three main drybelt regions: the Columbia-Kootenay area, the Olainagan-Similkameen area and the Fraser area, including the Thompson Valley* Within these regions grow the natural grasslands of Bri t i s h Columbia* -Spring plants ere numerous and varied, short-seasoned in the b r i e f time after the snow melts and before the s o i l becomes dry* They include F r i t i l l a r i a pudica, Calochortua maerocarpus, Phacelia leucophylla, Balsamorhiza sagittate, Clematis l i g u e t i e i f o l i a , and Lewisla redlviva* The semi-desert f l o r a includes Artemisia tridentata, Opuntia polyacantha, Blgelovia dracunculoides. Asclepias speeiosa, Mentzella laevicaulis, Luplnus spp., Astragalus spp» Shrubs and trees include Amelanchier f l o r i d a , Acer glabrum, Rhus glabra, Corylus californica, Betula glanduloaa, B* fontinalis, Salix spp., Populus tremuloides, Prunus demissa. The grasslands are distinguished as: •11* Open grasslands, (a) where sagebrush predominates, species of Agropyron, Koeleria, Festuea, Stipa, Aristida and Poa, a l l tufted perennial deep-rooted forms; (b) where grasses predominate, as well as the above-mentioned, Bromus, Elymus and Calamagrostis, with creeping rootstocks; 5 o with these grow Lupinus, Astragalus, Geranium, Plantago, and Juncus spp. 2* Wooded grasslands, (a) Douglas fir-grassland areas: grasses are much as i n the open grassy regions, with fewer bunch grasses, and with the addition of Mellca, Jestuca, and Lathyrus; (b) Jackpine-grassland areas: mainly Calamagrostis, Koeleria, and Stlpa; (c) cottonwood-grassland, differing very l i t t l e , but with the addition o f numerous legumes* Dry belt and mountain forests are divided into four types: 1* Yellow pine, from 2000-3000 feet on slopes of benches; Pinus ponderosa i s found in almost pure stands, mixed with Pseudotsuga t a x i f o l i a near i t s upper l i m i t ; Juniperus scopulorum, Ceanothus velutinus, 0* san-guineus, Penstemon; scouierii at» numerous; with and above Douglas f i r at the higher levels axe found Pinus contorts and Picea Engelmannio 2* Mixed forest, i n the Kootenay d i s t r i c t , where Larix occidentalia i s found with Douglas f i r between the yellow pine and the spruce-lodgepole pine types* 3* Montane forest from3000 to 6000 feet, i n whose open park-like slopes herbaceous plants are abundant: Erythronium, Arnica, L ilium,; Sedum, Erigeron, Lappula, Delphinium, Polemonium, Penstemon, Brodiaea, C a s t i l l e j a , Aquilegia, Heracleum. .Zygadenus, Claytonia, Spiraea, and numerous others* 4*Subalpine forest and meadow; timberllne forest and mountain meadows consist of stunted Pinus contort a, P* albicaulis, Abies ^aslocarpa, with grass species of Agrostis, Phleum, Danthonia, Trisetum, Koeleria, Bestuca, and numerous herbaceous plants including Valeriana, PastilleJ a, Senecio, Lupinus* The forests in the second wet belt resemble those on the coast, with the same transition in types* The range of tress passes from almost pure Thujavpllcata on the river-bottoms to a mixture of Thuja plicata and Tsuga heterophylla, f i n a l l y changing into Tsuga he ter ophyll a-P ice a Engelmanni-Thuja plicata type or the subalpine (Picea BngelmannirPinuB, contorta) type from 4000 to 6000 feet. The northern sub-arctic or spruce-pine type i s a continuation of the great forest area that sweeps across Canada, lying between the tundra and the plains or pine-hardwood forests. It consists of Pinus contorta, Picea canadensis, and P. mariana, changing to P. Bngelmanni farther south. Alpine regions are found on most Br i t i s h Columbia mountains above 5500 feet. Subalpine association of ericaceous shrubs, such as Rhododendron, Phyllodoce, Casslope, Cladothamnus, and Jaccinium, as well as Spiraea, Caltha, and Trolllua, extend from 4000 to 6000 feet. Small lakes are abundant, with their flora of Kalmia, Gentiana, Parnasaia, Menyanthes. The l a s t trees are Abies lasiocarpa, Pinus albicaulis, and Tsuga Mertensiana, with Larix L y a l l i i in a few l o c a l i t i e s . The arctic-alpine zone i s character-ized by Silene acaulis, Artemisia norveglea var* pacifica, Phacelia sericea, Phlox Douglasii, Bnpetrum nigrum, Loiseleuria procumbens, Gentiana calycosa, Anemone occidentalls, Saxifrage Tolmiei. Rock slides are clothed by Sedum divergens, Juniperus,slberica, Lupinus arcticus, and Polemonium conferturn* Gravelly creek banks and sand bars are covered with Mimulus Lewlsii, M. alplnus, PetasitesVfrigidua, Eplloblum latifolium. Lupinus spp., Cas t i l l s J a spp.,, Valeriana sitchensis, Pedicularla bracteosa, Aquilegia formosa, Vernnica Wormskjoldii, Veratrum viride, and numerous sedges and rushee abound on alpine slopes* 7, AREAS OF SPECIAL CC-J-ECTING The size of the province renders impossible any comprehensive survey at present; rather representative areas were covered a* thoroughly as possible* Certain l o c a l i t i e s have been f a i r l y intensively studied, either because of their convenience or because a few days were spent i n the area. These areas include the campus of the University of Br i t i s h Columbia, the environs of Vancouver, the v i c i n i t y of Duncan and Saanichton on Vancouver Island, the open parklands of the interior of British Columbia between Pentieton and Salmon Arm, and an alpine area in the Ashnola d i s t r i c t , i n the southern part of the province* These l o c a l i t i e s w i l l be described i n somewhat more detail than the generalized regions of the province* The campus of the University of B r i t i s h Columbia i s situated on Point Grey, a point of land to the west of Vancouver cut off by English Bay on the north and the Gulf of Georgia on the west* The campus i s planted with a number of native and introduced trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants, Qiany of which were examined in the search for fungi* Further collections of fungi were made in woods and gardens in the cit y * A t r i p to Mount Seymour, altitude 4758 feet, in the d i s t r i c t of New Westminster, yielded other representatives which approached the alpine type of fungi* Beaches near Vancouver gave a few fungi on casual examination* The areas on Vancouver Island, Duncan and Saanichton, are drier and hotter in the summer than Vancouver* Duncan i s situated in a valley on the Cowichan River, forty miles north of Victoria. It i s largely a cleared area, with small farms and some second growth of trees* Numerous collections were made of dead herbaceous stems in the spring. The Dominion ___perimental Farm near Saanichton on the Saanich Peninsula provided an area for collection amidst 8, small f r u i t and market gardens* The observations of Mr. w* Jones and Dr. W. Newton in this l o c a l i t y have resulted in a Check L i s t of plant parasites, of which those remarks pertinent to this study have been includede The drybelt region of the province, with i t s typical f l o r a , provided other fungi, especially among the Brysiphaceae, which are general i n those areas* Collections were made from the dry clay benches to the west of the cit y of Penticton, where Artemisia, Opuntia, and bunchgrasses were dominant* The parklike area north of Vernon up to Salmon Arm, with Pinus ponderosa the prominent feature of the landscape, provided other specimens* Around Lumby and the Shuswap Fa l l s , the somewhat wetter l o c a l i t y gave another type of f l o r a and different fungi* The area known l o c a l l y as the Cathedral Lakes in the Ashnola d i s t r i c t , south of Keremeos, was the most f r u i t f u l i n numbers of Pyrenomycetes collected* This l o c a l i t y varies in altitude from 6500 feet to 8300 feet© Several small a&pine lakes are situated between the ridges, which at the time of exploring, early in August, were clothed with b r i l l i a n t alpine flowers* Moisture was abundant on the north and east sides of the ridges, where the snow s t i l l remained in sheltered patches* To the south and west of these ridges, vegetation was i n a more advanced condition and often dried out* Collections of dead stems>and leaves of the herbaceous plants yielded many fungi, typically alpine and arctic in distribution* Most common were species of Mycosphaerella, Pleoapora, and Leptosphaeria* A glance at the map of Br i t i s h Columbia shows that the l o c a l i t i e s men-tioned are scattered through, the southwestern part* The greater part of the province i s represented by only a few scattered collections© GEN-SAL OUTLINE'. OF. PYHENOMYCETES Delimitation of the Group The Pyrenomycetes comprise a large group of Asec_ycetes in which the asci are borne in a closed fruiting body, the perithecium, which opens by a round or elongated ostiole or lacks an ostiole and then ruptures ir r e g -ularly* Mycelium i s septate, hyaline or dark colored* Perithecia are globose, conical, hemispherical or flattened* The perithecium may be superficial, with or without hyphel strands at the base, may be pa r t i a l l y iiamersed or completely immersed in the substratum and then sometimes part-i a l l y or completely erumpent at maturity; or i t may be imbedded in a stroma composed of mycelium or a mixture of mycelial and host tissues* In one order perithecia are lacking; the asci arise in locules in the stroma which lack a definitely differentiated wall* Paraphyses or pseudoparaphyses, interthecial threads, are usually present between the asci, although in certain genera or families they may be lacking© Periphyses, hairs l i n i n g the upper wall and ostiole of the perithecium, are often present* The asci: arise from the base or sides of the perithecium, and may be globose, ovate, clavate or cylindrical, stalked or sessile, thin- or thick-walled, usually eight-spored, or with more or less spores* Spores are of various shapes, colors, and sept at ion© The imperfect stages-of many, of these fungi have been connected with the ascigerous stage; they belong to numerous form genera of the Fungi Imperfect!© 10.

Zylariaceae Classification and Nomenclature In general the classification of fungi in this l i s t follows that of winter in Habenhorst's Kryptogamen-ELora. Keys to families are taken from Lindau's Pyrenomycetineae in Engler and Prantl's Naturlichen Pflanzen-familien, with some slight changes. The exceptions to Winter's classification are due to more recent monographic treatment of certain groups. The Erysiphaceae are treated according to Salmon's monograph (1900) of the 14e family. Seaver's monograph (1909, 1910, 1911) of the Hypocreales i s followed; where the names used differ from the generally accepted names, both are included. Members of the Dothideales and Perisporiales (with the exception of the Erysiphaeeae) have been l i t t l e collected so that differences of opinion concerning their classification are not particularly important 0 The Coryneliaceae, with one species represented i n this province, are retained in the Sphaeriales following Lindau's treatment of the group; that position i s not correct according to the recent studies of Fitzpatrick (1942). As far as possible to avoid confusion due to synonymy, where more than one name i s i n use, a l l are included. The generally accepted name i s employed as the legitimate one. No new combinations o f names have been made, so that i n the genus Mycoaphaerella,both that generic name and Sphaerella are l i s t e d ; the same i s true for Guignardia and Laestadia, Pleospora and Pyrenophora. Determinations in nearly every case were made from descriptive l i t e r -ature. Only a few species were available for comparison, so that the majority represent the writer*s idea of the species entirely. Further study w i l l probably result in alteration of some of these determinations* 15, MATERIALS AND, METHODS Sources of Collections Specimens listed in this paper were taken from several sources* A few references from literature have been included; where specimens have not been examined* the fact is noted* The collections of the Dominion Laboratories of Plant Pathology at Saanichton and Summerland have been studies* These collections constitute the majority of the parasitic Pyrenomycetes, chiefly among the Erysiphaceae* The herbarium of the Dominion Laboratory of Forest Pathology at Victoria has yielded parasitic and saprophytic fungi on both coniferous and deciduous trees* Wherever sufficient material was available, duplicates of these collections were placed in the Mycological Herbarium at the University of British Columbia© Collections have been made by the writer in localities previously described* Specimens from these areas are deposited in the University Mycological Herbarium. In addition many specimens have been examined from the Phanerogamic Herbarium-; at the University, with the kind per-mission of Dr* T.M.C. Taylor* From these specimens dead stalks and leaves were removed and examined* Those bearing Pyrenomycetes are now in the University Mycological^ Herbarium* From the Mycological; Herbaritia at Ottawa Dr. J.W. Groves contributed collections of British Columbia Pyrenomycetes* Although not numerous, these collections are valuable in that they include collections made by John Macoun, with certain type end rare specimens* The collection numbers listed are preceded by a letter denoting the Herbarium in which they are to be found* The following abbreviations have been used* 16o H - Mycological Herbarium of the Department of Biology and Botany, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C. 0 - Mycological Herbarium, Division of Botany and Plant Pathology, Science Service, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Ontario*, OM - From the Mycological Herbarium at Ottawa, but collected by John Macoun and either bearing his collection numbers, or unnumbered* S - Herbariuft of the Dominion Laboratory of Plant Pathology, Summerland, B.C.

Examination of Specimens A l l collections were examined with the aid of a low-power microscope* In the case of strcmatic foms freehand sections were out and examined, while single perithecia were removed bodily and flattened between slide and cover glass* Cameralucida drawings were made of asci and spores, as well as any other diagnostic feature, for each species* Measurements were taken of peritheeia or locules, of asci and spores. The sizes are given as the range of a number of measurements. Each species was described when fir s t seen, and in further collections notes were made of any variation from the previous collection or from the published description* 17. LIST Off SPECIES The Pyrenomycetes found in Br i t i s h Columbia are l i s t e d i n the families delimited on page 10. A brief characterization of each family i s giveno Genera and species are l i s t e d i n alphabetical order. In families where more than one genera are noted, a key i s given to the genera. Again, genera with several species have been keyed out, i n an effort to make this study of practical use in the herbarium. Species mentioned In the literature as collected i n this province are included under their genuso Those species collected Only in the imperfect stage are also l i s t e d under the name of the perfect stage and the stage of the collection i s noted.

SUMMARY The foregoing l i s t shows a total of 263 species in 95 genera© Those species which have not been determined and which are awaiting complete identification comprise 41. In the table given below the number of genera, species, and indeterminate species are tabulated by family and order.. TABLE I .

The number of species reported for the three regions 9 and the number of species common to each of the other two regions and to British Columbia are given for the four orders of 226o Pyrenomycetes» A l l varieties are counted as species i n each case. TABLE II Order British Columbia species Manitoba species common Maritimes species common PERISPORIALES 31 18 14 28 19 ETPOCHEALES 18 32 8 42 9 DOTHIDEALES 6 9 2 10 3 SPHAERIALES 208 276 39 166 46 TOTAL 263 335 63 246 77 The larger number of species from Manitoba i s probably the result of more intensive study for a longer period* Of the three families best represented in British Columbia, comparison with those of Manitoba and the Maritimes shows the following: TABLE III Family British Columbia species Manitoba species common Maritimes species common Erysiphaceae 19 16 13 23 18 Mycosphaerellace ae 51 9 4 18 9 Pleosporaceae 77 56 12 35 12 227. The larger number of British Columbia species in two of these families indicates that further study i n a l l groups would show a similarly large number of species in the other families. Further study would also provide more fungi common to this province and the other two regions. The similarity between European and Western North American fungi has been noted previously by collectors in the west. As Kaufftnan (1925: 116) says: n.«.many species, i f one i s at a l l familiar with northern European plants, are found to be old Friesian species.*a . . \" . A number of species in this l i s t have not previously been noted from North America. These species are marked i n the l i s t by an asterisk. As l a s been previously stated, this l i s t i s far from complete. The size of the province prevented collecting throughout the larger part of i t . Even in the areas more intensively studied, many more species w i l l doubtless be found© 228.
