30 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 



The specimens of A. ochroleuca Bres. from France, communi- 

 cated by Bourdot, seem to me specifically distinct from our A. 



cermcolor by their lack of the continuous, whitish hymenial 



pellicle and the abundant rays in the hymenial surface being 



well branched so that very many of them resemble antlers rather 



than stellate organs. 

 Specimens examined: 



Exsiccati: Ravenel, Fungi Am., 228, under the name Corticium 

 cervicolor; Ravenel, Fungi Car. 4: 14, type distribution of Aster-
