MR. GEORGE MASSEE ON THE THELEPHOREZX. 143 
On Magnolia glauca. Sent asa form of C. giganteum ; but the 
texture is different. Widely effused; at first cream-coloured, 
rigid, then acquiring a brownish tint, especially towards the 
margin; velvety in the younger parts, smooth in the older. 
(Berk.) 
I have not been able to find a specimen in Herb. Berk. corre- 
sponding to the above name or description, hence can add no 
further information. This species is evidently a Peniophora 
closely allied to P. gigantea. 
PENIOPHORA TEPHRA, Cooke. Effusa, margine pallide rufa, cre- 
nata, libera, tomentosa ; hymenio hie illie papillato, gilvo-cinereo, 
demum rimoso; cystidia fusoidea, 35 x15-18 p; spore ellip- 
soidex, 12-14 x 5 u.— Cooke, Grev. viii. p. 20, pl. 123. f. 6. Cor- 
tieium tephrum, Berk. & Curt. in Journ. Linn. Soc. x. p. 336. 
(Type in Herb. Berk. 4046.) 
Resembling some forms of P. cinerea in habit. Sometimes 
the extreme margin is free, in others adnate, and destitute of the 
rufous tint. 
Cuba; Australia. 
PENIOPHORA INTERMEDIA, Massee. Late effusa, mollis, mar- 
gine breviter reflexo, villosa; hymenio velutino, obscure ferru- 
gineo, contiguo ; cystidia cylindraceo-fusoidea, 60 x 15 u ; spore 
ellipsoidex, 12 x 5 u.—(Stereum papyrinum, Mont. Rav. Fung. 
Amer. 118.) 
On oak-branches. Florida. 
In addition to cystidia, there are present on the hymenium long 
tapering coloured hairs, as in the genus Hymenochete, to which 
this species forms a transition. 
PENIOPHORA DIsSITA, Mass. Parva pallida, primum orbicu- 
laris, margine elevato, tomentoso; hymenio velutino ex albo 
ochraceo subfuscescente; cystidia conico-acuminato, 40-65 x 
15-20 u ; spore ellipsoides, 10 x5 p.-—Stereum dissitum, Berk. 
Grev. i. p.164. (Type in Herb. Berk. n. 3842.) 
On wood. Texas. 
“Forming little orbicular, pallid patches, with an elevated 
tomentose margin; then at length becoming laterally confluent, 
with the margin free, but more depressed; hymenium pulve- 
rulent, varying from white or ochraceous to a pale-brown tint.” 
(Berk.)
