PENIOPHORA PHYLLOPHILA, Massee, n. sp. Late effusa,

On dead leaves. United States. 
Superficially resembling Corticium epiphyllum, Pers., but a true 
Peniophora. The hyph» are much branched and very thin, 
rarely exceeding 3 p in diam. The close external agreement be- 
tween the present species and C. epiphyllum may possibly have 
led to some confusion in Ravenel’s Exs., which may in some sets 
contain the true plant of Persoon.
