PENIOPHORA INCARNATA, Massee. Subceracea, adglutinata, 
indeterminata, ambitu radians; hymenio persistenter læte 
colorato (rubro, aurantio), setulis brevibus velutino ; cystidia 
fusoidea, 25-30 x 15-20 u; spore oblongo-ellipsoidex, curvule,

Often broadly effused, thin, adnate, margin minutely byssoid ; 
hymenium usually not much cracked unless growing on bark; 
when perfect minutely setulose, due to presence of cystidia, which 
are much exserted and soon fallaway, leaving the hymenium 
glabrous.

PENIOPHORA LILACINA, Massee. Effusa, tenuissima, confluens, 
ambitu alba, subradians ; hymenio subtiliter velutino, lilacino ; 
cystidia 20-30 x 5-6 p; spore ellipsoidex, 8 x 4 u.—Thelephora 
lilacina, Schwein. Syn. N. Amer. Fung. 680. (Specimen from 
Sehweinitz in Herb. Berk.) 
On bark. United States. 
Resembling a thin wash of body-colour; margin whitish, 
byssoid, following the inequalities of the matrix; several small 
patches often becoming confluent. Much thinner, and with 
smaller and fewer cystidia than P. cinerea, the thinner forms of 
which it somewhat resembles. 
PENIOPHORA SIMILIS, Massee. Latissime effusa, coriacea, mar- 
gine tenui; hymenio sulphureo vel ochraceo, rimoso, subtiliter 
velutino ; cystidea fusoidea, 60 x 30 p ; spore oblongo-ellipsoidesw, 
inequilaterales, 8-10 x 4 u.— Corticium simile, Berk. d Curt. in 
Journ. Linn. Soc. x. p.837. (Typein Herb. Berk. Kew. 4063.) 
On bark. Cuba. 
* Spreading for several inches. Resembling somewhat resu- 
pinate states of C. leve. The yellow mycelium is so incorporated
