The Harvard mycologist Roland Thaxter collected and studied a wide variety of fungi. Although he described >1000 fungal species, he was unable to describe all the specimens he collected before his death in 1932. His collections and microscope slides remain an important resource for studying fungal diversity at the Farlow Herbarium at Harvard University. Thaxter described three species in the obligate mycoparasite genus Syncephalis: S. pycnosperma, S. tenuis, and S. wynneae. He retained slide mounts of several other species, including a new species from his collection that was not described. Here, we describe that new species as S. aethiopica based on morphological analysis of his preserved slides. We also discuss the morphology of S. reflexa, a species apparently only known from slides preserved at the Farlow Herbarium.
哈佛真菌学家罗兰·萨克斯特收集并研究了各种各样的真菌。尽管他描述了1000多种真菌物种，但在1932年去世前，他未能描述完所有收集到的标本。他的藏品和显微镜载玻片仍是哈佛大学法洛植物标本馆研究真菌多样性的重要资源。萨克斯特描述了专性菌寄生属合轴霉属的三个物种：密籽合轴霉、细合轴霉和温氏合轴霉。他保留了其他几个物种的玻片标本，包括他收藏的一个未被描述的新物种。在此，我们根据对他保存的玻片的形态学分析，将该新物种描述为埃塞俄比亚合轴霉。我们还讨论了反折合轴霉的形态，该物种显然仅从保存在法洛植物标本馆的玻片上为人所知。
