This species was described from China by Patouillard, who placed it in 
the genus Hypocrea. ‘The stromata of typical species of this genus are 
crustaceous, cushion-shaped or hemispherical, and those sj ecies which have 
an elongated or vertical stroma are better separated off as a distinct genus. 
Saccardo placed them in the subgenus Podoerea, which Lindau afterwards 
(l. c.) raised to generic rank. Atkinson (Bot. Gaz. x]. 401 (1905) ) showed 
that the generic name Podophyllum had meanwhile been proposed by Karsten 
(Hedw. xxxi. 294 (1892)) and therefore had priority. As Podophyllum was 
a name used by Linneus (1735 and Sp. Pl. i. 723 (1753)) for a genus of 
Berberidacez it cannot be duplicated amongst the fungi, and Podocrea must 
stand.
