FRANCIS WOLLE'S

FILAMENTOUS MYXOPHYCEAE1

FRANCIS DROUET

In 1936, Professor Wm. Randolph Taylor suggested that I

•J examine, among other historical collections of filamentous Myxo-

] phyceae, the specimens of Francis Wolle on file in the Herbarium of

-: the University of Pennsylvania. The study was gradually extended

^ to include material bearing Wolle's annotations in other North

American and European herbaria. The observations now presented

o are designed to interpret in modern nomenclature many novelties

2 and reports of species which Wolle published in this group of algae.

Francis Wolle2 (1817-1893) was a minister and educator of the

^ Moravian Church in Bethlehem and Nazareth, Pennsylvania. He

J became interested in natural history at an early age; his first serious

work among cryptogams was on local bryophytes, in company with

his friend, Eugene A. Rau of Bethlehem. When Wood's Contribution

to the Fresh-water Algae of the United States appeared in 1872, he

turned his attention to these algae and especially to the desmids.

He made large collections in Pennsylvania, New York, and New

J Jersey and reported his findings in a series of short papers in the

Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club and the American Monthly

Microscopical Journal during the years 1875-1885. He entered into

^~~ correspondence with many contemporary phycologists, including

q» F. Hauck, Anton Hansgirg, Otto Nordstedt, and W. G. Farlow.

H. W. Ravenel, J. Donnell Smith, Romyn Hitchcock, F. W. Anderson,

and various less active collectors sent all of their freshwater algae

to him for determination. He issued hundreds of duplicate specimens

o in exchanges with these and other workers and thus built up a

considerable working herbarium of both European and American

" algae. His studies in the desmids led him to publish in 1884 a volume

. entitled Desmids of the United States; this he revised and enlarged in

^ 1892. In 1887 he published a two-volume work on the freshwater

Myxophyceae, Rhodophyceae, and Chlorophyceae, Fresh-water

. < Algae of the United States. With I. C. Martindale he furnished lists

of algae for Britton's two catalogues of New Jersey plants (see

below). The publications mentioned above were based almost

entirely upon material which he had examined himself and which

is preserved for us today in his own and his correspondents' herbaria.

His one purely bibliographic work, Diatomaceae of North America,1

appeared in 1891.

As the most voluminous writer on North American algae during

the 1870's and 1880's, Francis Wolle excited considerable interest in

the freshwater algal flora of the United States. Although he was not

a botanist by profession, his accumulated herbarium and his wide

acquaintance among phycologists afforded him excellent advantage

for careful and meticulous work. His taxonomic concepts, as in-

dicated by annotations upon specimens of Myxophyceae, are on the

whole similar to those in use today; this fact is unfortunately obscured

in his publications by an often unconventional style of writing and

by the use of a contemporary nomenclature which is scarcely intel-

ligible to us unless we consult his specimens.

Wolle's studies of Myxophyceae were in major part already com-

pleted before Thuret, Bornet, Flahault, and Gomont published their

monumental treatises upon which our present understanding of the

morphology and nomenclature among the filamentous forms is based.

He worked in an age when the most usable manuals of algae were

those of Kiitzing and Rabenhorst, in which were listed hundreds of

1 Francis Wolle accumulated a very small number of diatoms in his herbarium

and consulted but few actual specimens during the preparation of this book. It

is evident that he had no particular interest in the group and that he wrote the

volume for the sole purpose of completing his series of manuals of North American

freshwater algae, not as a report of original research. He writes in the preface:

"In the present volume is collected the cream of what has already been written

on the subject, as well as the figures of all known American species together with

the most approved system of classification." In a copy of Habirshaw's Catalogue

of the Diatomaceae (1885) in Francis Wolle's library, Dr. H. H. Chase had under-

lined in red ink the species known to occur in North America. Wolle found illustra-

tions in other publications for the species included in this list. Most of the pen-

and-ink drawings of his original plates (now in the possession of Mr. Philip W.

Wolle) are direct copies or outline tracings of figures in Schmidt's Atlas der Dia-

tomaceen-Kunde, pis. 1-140 (1874-80). Other figures are obviously enlarged free-

hand sketches of those of Van Heurck, Synopsis des Diatomes de Belgique (1885).

The finished enlargements give the impression of having been made by someone

not too sympathetic toward and appreciative of the details of diatom morphology,

especially where shapes of cells and position, number, and size of markings are

concerned. The figures thus copied from Van Heurck are at best inaccurate, and

in some cases quite unlike the species which they were designed to represent.

Some of Wolle's figures are original, drawn, according to Mr. Philip W. Wolle,

from the published slides of H. L. Smith, Diatomacearum Species Typicae (1874 ff.).

The preface to his book states that Francis Wolle submitted the plates to Dr. H. L.

Smith for approval before they were photolithographed. Letters which passed

between the two men on this subject appear to be lacking in the files of Rev.

Wolle's correspondence. — RUTH PATRICK, ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES, PHILA-

DELPHIA.

WOLLE'S FILAMENTOUS MYXOPHYCEAE 19

species and many genera distinguished from each other by means of

characters either highly imaginative or of little importance in the

classification now in vogue. Such chaotic taxonomy had a natural

sequel in the popularity of theories of polymorphism among the

algae, like those elaborated in Hansgirg's 'Ueber den Polymorphismus

der Algen', Bot. Centralbl., Bd. xxii (1885), and in the preface to

Wolle's Fresh-water Algae. In general these theories presupposed

that there is no limit to the series of diverse morphological forms

which might be assumed by a single species in the course of its com-

plete life history. They were truly revolutionary ideas, which

claimed the enthusiasm of many respected European workers on

algae; they provided a colorful and plausible raison d'etre for the vast

array of species and genera in the manuals of the time. Wolle em-

ployed the nomenclature of Kiitzing, Rabenhorst, and Kirchner in

his publications because there was no other to use; with this fact in

mind, the student today need not be astonished that Wolle con-

sidered many of the species listed in his Fresh-water Algae as equivocal

entities.

If we wish to understand the uninformative descriptions and

often ambiguous nomenclature in the filamentous Myxophyceae

of Kiitzing's Species Algarum (1849) or of Rabenhorst's Flora Eu-

ropaea Algarum (1864-68), we find it wise to examine for ourselves

the specimens upon which these authors based their descriptions or

to consult the works of the few authors who have done so. Bornet

& Flahault, in their Revision des Nostocacees H eterocystees (1886-88),

and Gomont, in his Monographic des Oscillariees (1892-93), in

establishing the modern system of classification and nomenclature

in the group, have interpreted most of these specimens in careful

scientific language in accord with present ideas of morphology and

life histories. Unfortunately, but few of Wolle's specimens fell into

the hands of these authors. Setchell in Erythea 4: 189-194 (1896)

and ibid. 7: 45-55 (1899) explained a number of additional specimens

which had been cited in Wolle's publications. Otherwise, Wolle's

Myxophyceae have remained unexamined and uninterpreted for

half a century; as a consequence, reference to his publications in

recent literature has been largely a source of confusion. A general

disinterest in herbarium study of microscopic algae since 1900 and

an increasing popularity of bibliographic research among phycophiles

have brought about this state of affairs, much to the detriment of

Francis Wolle's scientific reputation. In Forti's Sylloge Myxophy-

cearum (1907) we find Wolle's now unintelligible descriptions copied

20 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY — BOTANY, VOL. 20

verbatim, often with errors of translation, transcription, or typog-

raphy. Forti's Latin interpretations have again been translated into

English, German, and other languages in recent manuals devoted to

Myxophyceae. Students using these manuals find themselves con-

fronted with a hodge-podge of species, the descriptions and figures of

many quite uninformative. With the specimens of Wolle and

other early authors carefully preserved and easily accessible in

herbaria, there would seem to be little reason why such confusion

should have existed for so long a period of time.

For a number of years after his death, Francis Wolle's herbarium

and other possessions remained in the hands of his family in Bethle-

hem. In December, 1906, some two-thirds of the collection, number-

ing several thousand specimens, was presented to the University of

Pennsylvania, where it has remained in the Herbarium ever since.

The rest of the specimens, along with the scientific library, note-

books, and instruments, have been carefully preserved by his grand-

son, Mr. Philip Weiss Wolle of Princess Anne, Maryland. Very

recently Mr. Wolle placed all the specimens still in his care on file in

Field Museum of Natural History.

Specimens bearing Francis Wolle's annotations are to be found in

considerable numbers in the herbaria of those botanists who received

material in exchanges or who sent specimens to Wolle for determina-

tion. The Farlow Herbarium contains many such specimens re-

ceived by W. G. Farlow. The United States National Herbarium

contains the herbaria of J. Donnell Smith and Romyn Hitchcock.

The New York Botanical Garden has much Wolle material from the

personal collection of Eugene A. Rau. The Herbarium of Oberlin

College contains the accumulated collection of F. D. Kelsey. Speci-

mens studied by Prof. W. A. Setchell are on file in the Herbarium of

the University of California. Specimens of H. W. Ravenel are to be

seen in greatest abundance in the British Museum (Natural History)

and in the Farlow Herbarium. Other material is in the Brooklyn

Botanical Garden and the University of Michigan Herbarium. It is

more than probable that specimens exist in other North American

and European herbaria not consulted in this study.

The specimens of blue-green algae which passed through Wolle's

hands are dried on paper or inclosed in envelopes. They are labeled

with specific determinations in his handwriting, and commonly with

notations of place, habitat, etc. In many instances the notes appear

on the back of the mounting paper. Along with other data, letters

or numerals are often to be noted; these refer to entries in his admir-

WOLLE'S FILAMENTOUS MYXOPHYCEAE 21

able series of illustrated notebooks or to pages and figures in publica-

tions consulted. Printed labels are attached to many specimens.

The scientific names used in Wolle's earlier papers are in general

the same as those which appear on the labels of his specimens. Some

of those of the Fresh-water Algae, however, cannot be correlated with

specimens because changes in his nomenclature do not appear on the

herbarium labels or in the notebooks, and because certain names

employed in earlier papers are disregarded in the citation of synonymy

in the book. Such names which have not been matched with speci-

mens appear at the end of this paper in the list of Inquirenda. Many

specimens bear incomplete labels; it is probable that this material is

the basis for certain of the dubious reports included in this list.

Future investigations may discover the missing data for some of the

specimens, and the list may be further shortened by the finding of

additional Wolle specimens in herbaria not here consulted. A few

records of species cited in the Fresh-water Algae are admittedly

dependent upon the specimens of H. C. Wood, the location of whose

herbarium is unknown to us at this time.

For convenience and to avoid repetition of such records as appear

in Tilden's Myxophyceae of North America (1910), I have omitted

reference in the treatment below, except in certain special cases, to

Forti's Sylloge Myxophycearum. Likewise, reference to Wolle's list

of freshwater algae in Britton, A Preliminary Catalogue of the Plants

of New Jersey (1881) is omitted because the same list of species in

revised form is repeated in Britton, Final Rep. State Geol. New

Jersey, vol. ii (1889). No reference is made to VanDersal & Cart-

ledge, Proc. Pennsylvania Acad. Sci. 7: 1-7 (1933), in which Wolle's

Pennsylvania records are copied.

I wish to express my gratitude for the co-operation of many per-

sons during the course of this study: some have supplied invaluable

information concerning Francis Wolle and his specimens; these and

others have offered suggestions and performed numerous other

courtesies. Among the many who have aided me I wish to thank

especially Mr. Philip W. Wolle, Prof. Wm. Randolph Taylor, Prof.

Bull. Torr. Club 6: 283 (1879).— Wolle's M. velutinum was described

and later distributed in Wittr. & Nordst., Alg. exs. 388, as a plant of

salt water. Bornet & Flahault, however, have placed the name as a

synonym of the strictly non-marine Scytonema guyanense. Moreover,

these authors have cited this same published isotypic material in

their treatment of Calothrix scopulorum Born. & Flah., ibid. 3: 353

we must await a reinterpretation of the specimen designated as the

TYPE ('specim. auth.') in Bornet's herbarium. Specimens seen:

are very young, but they match well young filaments in specimens

New York is a duplicate of that upon which Bornet and Setchell

based the binomial D. Hosfordii, and which is mentioned by Set-

ber. Biol. Sta. Plon 2: 32 (1894). Rivularia echinulata Engl. Bot. ex

Born. & Flah., Ann. Sci. Nat. VII Bot. 4: 366 (1886).— Many papers

have been written concerning why we should or should not con-

sider Gloeotrichia echinulata and G. Pisum as distinct species; the

earlier literature is reviewed by Bornet & Flahault in Bull. Soc. Bot.

France 31: 76-81 (1884), by Richter (ibid.), by Howe in Torreya 3:

150-154 (1903), and by others. Bornet & Flahault's work alone is

based upon a comparative study of collections from many widely

separated localities; these authors placed the two forms together

under the name G. Pisum. The numerous other papers which have

come to my attention contain, aside from the customary meticulous

review of literature, no more than lengthy dissertations upon the

morphology of the plants as they appear in water-blooms on local

ponds and lakes. Intimate details of the life history of each form are

still lacking. In recent studies I have had access to scarcely a hundred

different collections of the two forms, living and preserved, from

many parts of the world, including those seen by Bornet & Flahault,

Richter, Howe, and others. At present I can find no sound morpho-

logical or ecological basis upon which to separate the two as distinct

species. I retain the two names here only as a matter of convenience

to indicate, as Bornet & Flahault have already suggested, what may

be two extremes of habitat and growth relationship: G. echinulata

the small form, usually planktonic, and G. Pisum the small or large

form, known to be attached to a substratum in the juvenile state

and later floating free in the water.

Wolle's notes on Rivularia radians var. minutula in Bull. Torr.

Club 8: 38 (1881) should give us little doubt that he referred here to

Gloeotrichia echinulata. However, this report is the basis of Tilden's

inclusion (Minn. Alg. 1: 288) of Rivularia minutula (Kiitz.) Born. &

material of T. rupestris cannot be separated from other specimens

broader than is usual in T. tennis; it appears to me that the method

of preparation of the specimens is responsible for such anomalies.

The habit of the filaments in the masses bears little resemblance to

that of species of Hassallia with which Geitler has placed T. rupestris.

Jan. 1900 (TYPE, F; isotypes in Phyc. Bor.-Amer. 756, D, FM, N, T), is to be

recognized at once as Hassallia byssoidea. In parts of the masses, the filaments

have the usual aspect of this species; in other parts, the sheaths are somewhat

gelatinized and the divergent lamellation is conspicuous. Geitler, Rabenh. Krypt.-

Fl. 14: 797 (1932), has suggested that Scytonema junipericola is related to S.

mirabile Born. (S. figuratum of this paper); a glance at material of the two, how-

ever, should show that such an idea is untenable.

(1907); Wolle, F. W. Alg. 260 (1887), as to name-bearing synonym,

not as to specimens. — Kossinskaja, Not. Syst. Crypt. Hort. Bot. Prin-

cip. URSS 4: 64-74 (1926), has endeavored to show that this species

is really a growth form of Scytonema crustaceum var. incrustans. It

is unfortunate that in making observations this author did not study

also Hepp's isotypic specimens distributed in Rabenh. Alg. 468 and

material of S. crustaceum cited by Bornet & Flahault. In the speci-

mens treated by the monographers and those cited in the present

paper, I am given the impression that the scytonematoid filaments of

the two species are easily distinguished by the nature of the lamella-

tion of the sheaths, as indicated in Bornet & Flahault's descriptions.

It would be hazardous to suggest a union of the two species, as both

Kossinskaja (ibid.) and Geitler, Rabenh. Krypt.-Fl. 14: 782 (1932),

have done, at least upon the basis of the few collections now on file

in herbaria. Specimens seen: NEW YORK: Niagara, Aug. 1876 (F, P).

Gardn.,1 ibid. 45 (1927). — Wolle's specimen bearing the label 'Hy-

drocoleum heterotrichum' (apparently the basis for the sole

report of this species from North America) consists of a mass of

rather poorly preserved algae of which the principal species are

Hapalosiphon pumilus, Schizothrix Muelleri, and Porphyrosiphon

Notarisii. The published description and figure and the annotation

"with H. versicolor" on the label prove beyond doubt that Wolle

referred to the last species as Hydrocoleum heterotrichum. In my

recent treatment of the Brazilian flora in Amer. Journ. Bot., vols.

24 and 25, I discussed the synonymy of Porphyrosiphon Notarisii

displayed above and listed, among others, American specimens from

North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Missouri, Texas, Puerto

Rico, Cuba, Jamaica, Ceara, Maranhao, Para, Venezuela, and Ecua-

dor. Additional American material, along with that seen by Francis

98 (1892); Farlow, Bull. Bussey Inst. 2: 77 (1877). Lyngbya Wollei

Farl. ex Gom. pro. synon., loc. cit. (1892). — Certain authors have

remarked that Plectonema Wollei and Lyngbya majuscula are diffi-

cult to distinguish from each other. In herbarium specimens and

other material upon which records in recent local floras have been

based, the confusion of the two species is very evident. The 'charac-

ters' of the greatest diagnostic value here are, of course, the presence

of false branching of the filaments of the former species and the

absence of it in the latter. My experience with Plectonema Wollei

and other Myxophyceae with branching filaments has shown that

the greatest number of branchings are to be found in the oldest parts

of the plant mass, often not at all at the surface of the mass. The

reason for this is obvious: the youngest parts of the filaments at the

surface exist in an unbranched condition before branches are formed.

P. Wollei and Lyngbya majuscula, though similar in size of trichome

and filament, have many dissimilarities, in texture and thickness of

the sheath, in granulation and color of the protoplasm, in nature of

the walls, in shapes of cells, and in the macroscopic appearance of

the masses. Such differences become instantly apparent when one

compares material growing in strictly marine waters (L. majuscula)

with that from purely fresh water (Plectonema Wollei). Specimens

1 This 'variety' does not, in my estimation, deserve a name. In the ten speci-

mens cited by Gardner in the Farlow Herbarium with his original description,

it is true that many of the trichomes measure as little as 3 n in diameter; neverthe-

less, many very closely approach 4 /i. Otherwise the masses are quite similar to

those of specimens of S. muralis cited by Gomont. The TYPE, in the Farlow

Herbarium, is: CHIN^: Kushan, near Foochow, Fukien Province, H. H. Chung

appear to be those indicated in Wolle's description. The filaments

are very poorly preserved, so that it is doubtful to just what genus

WOLLE'S FILAMENTOUS MYXOPHYCEAE 55

of Myxophyceae the material should be referred. Specimens dis-

tributed by Tilden in Amer. Alg. No. 67 (FM, N, U) as S. Muscorum

var. rivularis, contain plants of a very different type. Material seen:

PENNSYLVANIA: attached to stones in Lehigh River, 1878 (TYPE

of Lyngbya Phormidium var. rivularis, P), 15 July 1879 (F, N, P).

References: as Symploca Muscorum var. rivularis in Tilden, Amer. Alg. 1: 67

Rabenh. Krypt.-Fl. 14: 1123 (1932).

Certain specimens, the bases of reports of species of filamentous

Myxophyceae in the literature, prove to be material of other groups

of algae or of Myxophyceae in an unrecognizable condition. The

one meager collection, FLORIDA: Smith, Mar. 1878 (P, U), upon

which the reports of Capsosira Brebissonii in Wolle, Bull. Torr. Club

6: 283 (1879) and in Tilden, Minn. Alg. 1: 251 (1910) are founded

contains masses of Entophysalis? sp. The specimen, PENNSYLVANIA:

old wooden tanks (P), referred to by Wolle, F. W. Alg. 289 (1887) as

Sphaerozyga polysperma consists of a gelatinous matrix in which

small desmids (Cylindrocystis? sp.) are imbedded. The specimens

referred to as Phormidium julianum in Wolle, Bull. Torr. Club 6: 283

(1879), as Lyngbya Juliana in Wolle, F. W. Alg. 301 (1887), and as

L. lutea in Tilden, ibid. 114 in part (1910), FLORIDA: Smith, Mar. 1878

(P, U), are of filamentous Myxophyceae in an unrecognizable state.

I have been unable to find, are the following. From their published descriptions

Specimens referred to in the literature under the following names appear to

be lacking. Many of such specimens may be already included in this treatment,

but for lack of data and proper annotation they cannot be identified with the names

under which they were recorded in publications. If we can judge by Wolle's notes

and drawings, however, few of these recorded names refer to species not appearing

in the treatment above.
