The description does not agree well with the figure. According to the fig. Polyporus. 

 it wanders over beech-branches, and is stratose (the stratum of the second 

 season fuscous-ferruginous), smooth at the margin, fuscous in the middle, 

 livid at the circumference. 



On dead oak-branches. Coed Coch, 1873, Sc. Very like resupinate form 



of Dcedalea confragosa. B. r> Br. Name /3a0us, deep; Trdpo?, a pore. 



From the cup-like 'pores. Rostk. iv. /. 59. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 580. B. &*

124. P. hybridus B. & Br. White ; mycelium thick, forming 

 a dense membrane or creeping branched strings ; hymenium 

 breaking up into areae. Pores long, slender, minute. 



The dry-rot of oak-built vessels. On oak, in ships, &c. According to 

 Fries it is a monstrous form (perhaps of P. destructor], originating from its 

 close situation. Name hybridus, hybrid. Berk. Out. p. xvii. C. Hbk. n.

GENUS XXV. Trametes (trama, the generic distinction Trametes. 

 depending on the trama). 



Pores somewhat round, obtuse, entire, often unequal in depth 

 and not forming a heterogeneous 

 stratum, immersed at the base in the 

 flesh of the pileus, and hence the 

 trama is continuous with the flesh of 

 the pileus and similar to it. Grow- 

 ing on wood, woody or corky, becom- 

 ing hard, but not stratose, commonly 

 sweet-scented. 



A genus intermediate between the 

 Dcedalea; and Polypori, the limits of 

 which are not yet duly ascertained.
