Public Note:
When naming Weraroa novae-zelandiae Singer (1958) examined a topotype from MICH, not the PDD holotype "During a revision of some secotiaceous genera, I came across a specimen of Secotium novaezelandiae Cunningham (Proc. Linn. Soc. New South Wales 49: 107. 1924) which, although typically gastroid in appearance and development, is as close to the Strophariaceae as any secotiaceous species could be expected to be, and as close as Brauniella Rick in Sing, is to the Amanitaceae (Vohariella) or Thaxterogaster Sing, to the Cortinariaceae (Cortinarius). The specimen is a topotype and authentic (from the type locality, Weraroa, and determined by Cunningham, preserved at the University Herbarium, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich.) and showed all the visible characters of the species as described by Cunningham1 on p. 8 1 . It was collected by J. C. Neill and G. H. Cunningham, February 5, 1923 at Weraroa, Wellington, N. Z., no. 1098 (MICH).” [the MICH specimen is a split from PDD 1098]
