Pileus 3 in. across. Distinguished at once by its very hard

 Thick, with the habit of a resupinate Polyporus. 



Stereum notatum, Berk. Sf Broome. Effusum ; margine tomen- 

 toso, pallido, libero ; hymenio hie illic concentrice notato, pallido, 

 glabro; sporae ellipsoidese, 7x5 ft.— Berk. Sf Broome in Journ. 

 Linn. Soc. (Bot.) xiv. p. 66. (Type in Herb. Berk. n. 3835.) 



On bark Ceylon. 



Thin, broadly effused, and consisting of several confluent 

 patches ; edge thin, papery, strigose or tomentose ; hymenium 

 marked with concentric rings, and judging from the stains in 

 the dry specimens, giving out a red juice when bruised. 





Stereum Leveillianum, Berk. Sf Curt. Effusum, resupinatum, 

 molle, crassiusculum, carneum ; margine libero, tomentoso ; sporae 

 subglobosae, 6x5/i.— Berk. 4' Curt, in Grev. i. p. 163.— Corti-

Exs. : Kav. Fung. Car. 35. (Type in Herb. Berk. n. 3831.) 



On fallen branches. S. Carolina ; Central America. 



1 At first forming little peltate orbicular spots, which as they 

 dilate become closely attached to the matrix, with the exception 

 of the margin which is often free, soon confluent, soft, rather 

 thick, of the colour of raspberries and cream. Hymenium often 

 minutely pitted. Old specimens lose in a great measure their 

 ruddy hue, and are of a dead white." (Berkeley, I. c.) 



Adnate, with tomentose margin usually free and upraised, 

 patches often becoming confluent; hymenium opaque, pink or 

 whitish. 



Stereum ferbeum, Berk. Sf Curt. Effusum, durum, rigidum, 

 coffeatum, stratosum ; margine elevato, sublobato ; hymenio hie 

 "lie colliculoso, glabro ; contextu umbrino ; sporae ellipsoideae, 

 5x3-4 /j. — Berk. Sf Curt, in Journ. Linn. Soc. {Bot.) x. p. 332.
