Mueller and Wu (1997)
published a book summarizing many of Singer's contributions to the study
of fungi (see About Hard Copy). The
major part of the book consists of an index to all of the genera, species,
and infraspecific taxa described by Singer, including information on the
type specimen, place of deposition, and a literature citation for the type
description. Now the index and a bibliography of Singer's 440 publications
are presented as a searchable database. Currently we are confirming the
existence of the type specimens in the herbaria as indicated in Singer's
publications. If you have comments or corrections, please contact
Qiuxin Wu or
Gregory M. Mueller. |
| Before you search
the database, please understand
that in this index, species, variety, and form names
published by Rolf Singer are listed with literature citations and type specimen
information. This database is intended to treat specimen-based taxa that
Singer described in the literature. New genera published by Singer are included.
New combinations, nomina nova, and supraspecific names are not included
here. Holotype information, including type locality, date, collection number,
and herbarium of deposit, is from Singer's original publications. In the
few cases of discrepancies found between Singer's publications, we consulted
his unpublished field notebooks and appended a short note or discussion
to the listing. Many of Singer's taxa were described before enforcement
of certain rules by the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (i.e.
1 January 1935 for Latin diagnosis and 1 January 1958 for typification).
Taxa described after 1935 without a Latin diagnosis are annotated with "No
Latin diagnosis". Some taxa described before 1958 have data on the
origin of the type specimens but do not have a designated holotype. The
word "probably" prior to a herbarium name indicates that the herbarium
is the possible place of deposit based on Singer's unpublished field notes
and Singer's habit to deposit type specimens in the institution where he
was working, even though it was not clearly stated in his publication. Herbarium
abbreviations are from Index Herbariorum (Holmgren et al., 1990, New York
Botanical Garden, Bronx. 693 pp. http://www.nybg.org/bsci/ih/searchih.html). |
