Additions and Emendations to a Monograph of the Genus Taphrina

on Prunus andersonii A. Gray.

Induces a large, well developed witches' broom bearing leaves that are thickened, deformed, and reddened in quite the same manner as in leaf curl of peach by Taphrina deformans

[Note that the 1954 article lists the name of this new species as T. jenkinsoniana because of a printer's error; Mix corrected the the name to T. jenkinsiana in "Notes on Some Species of Taphrina" (1956), Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science, Vol. 59, No. 4 (Winter, 1956) on p 481.]
