There is no specimen iu Berkeley's herbarium ; consequently I 



am not able to add to the above brief diagnosis.

glutinatum, ceraceo-molle, glabrum, ambitu albo mox evauido; 

 hymenio levi, nudo, sordide aurantio, sicco contiguo ; sporae

Forming elongated patches often several inches in length by 

 one inch broad, very closely attached to the matrix, and, when 

 dry, contracting below the level of the bark. Hymenium rather 

 shining, of a dirty orange, with sometimes a shade of fulvous; 

 when in full vigour, there is usually a very narrow whitish 

 margin, which, however, generally disappears with age. -Ln e 

 hymenium does not change colour in drying, neither does it 

 become in the least cracked.
