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

 livid at the circumference. 



On dead oak-branches, 

 of Dcedalea confragosa. 

 From the cup-like pores.

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-sce?ited. 



A genus intermediate between the 

 Dadalea? and Polypori y the limits of 

 which are not yet duly ascertained.
