442 BANKER: HISTORICAL REVIEW OF 
Hist. Nat. Veg. 4: 373. 1835, for a genus of the Epilobiaceae. 
For this reason Underwood proposed the name Kvnetffella in Bull. 
Torrey Club, 24: 205. 1897. The next year P. Hennings inde- 
pendently proposed precisely the same name, Die nat. Pflanzent. 
1** : 139. 1898. But this name was found to be untenable, hav- 
ing been used by Karsten for another genus of the Hydnaceae, 
Krit. Ofv. Finlands Basids. 371. 1889. Underwood then proposed 
the name Pycuodon, Bull. Torrey Club, 25: 631. D. 1898. But 
this name had been anticipated four months previously by Sac- 
cardo, who had published the name NMeokneiffia in his Tab. Com. 
Gen. Fung. 11 Aug. 1898. Nunc requiescat in pace ! 
16. Mucronia Fr. Summa Veg. Scand. 329. 1849 
The genus was based on Hyduum calvum Alb. & Schw., 4 
single species. The name was found to be preoccupied by Ben- 
tham for a genus of the Polygonaceae, Trans. ‘Linn. Soc. 17: 419: 
1837. Fries himself, therefore, changed the name to Mucronella, 
Hym. Eur. 629. 1874. 
17. GRAMMOTHELE Berk. & Curtis, Jour. Linn. Soc. 10 : 327. 1869 
The genus was established on G. Jineata with three other 
species. 
18. MucroneLra Fr. Hym. Eur. 629. 1874 
This name was proposed as a substitute for Mucronia (q. %-) 
and is, therefore, based on Hyduum calvum Alb. & Schw. 
19. SARCODON Quel. Clavis Hym. 195. 1878 : 
This genus was established on Hydnum imbricatum L. nic 
eighteen other species. The name is clearly a direct synony™ " 
Hydnum 1. 
20. CaLopoNn Quel. Clavis Hym. 196. 1878 
Quelet established this genus on Hyduum suaveolens SCOP- 
with twenty-one other species, 
21. Dryopon Quel. Clavis Hym. 198. 1878 a 
The genus was founded on Hydnum umbellatum March. W! ‘ 
seven other species including Hydnum coralloides Schaef. - 
which Persoon had based his genus Hericium. Dryodon QU 
must, therefore, be considered a synonym of Hericium Pers.
