This species is not " Thelephora lata in Herb. Mont." as 

 stated by Berkeley in Grev. viii. ; but there is a specimen from 

 Montagne, marked " Thelephora (Stereum) rheicolor, Montag.," 

 on the same sheet with the above, and with which Berkeley 

 appears to have confounded it, as also with Stereum pulchrum, 

 Schw.
