REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST 45 



quite as flexuous and labyrinthiform as in species of Daedalea. The edges 

 of the fresh and growing dissepiments appear pubescent. The spores in 

 mass on a dark background are white. 



Polyporus zonatus Fr. var. imperfectus n. var. 



Pores unequal, the dissepiments thin, acute or sul)dentate, whitish. 



Stumps of poplar, Populus tremiiloides and P. gratididenta, Karner. 

 October. 



This variety was found growing with the typical form, and differing 

 only in the character ot the hymenium. 



Stereum radiatum Pk. var. reflexum n. var. 



Upper margin narrowly reflexed, crisped and somewhat lobed, black 

 with the extreme edge cinnamon color when fresh ; hymenium uneven, 

 tuberculose. 



Dead trunks of spruce, Picea ?itgra. Adirondack mountains. Sep- 

 tember. 



The description of Stereum corrugatunt Lev. corresponds very well to 

 the typical form of this fungus and it may be necessary to substitute this 

 name for Stereum radiatum. 



The following extra limilal varieties have been received from the 

 sources indicated below. They appear to be worthy of name and notice. 



Polyporus resinosus Schrad. var. incurvus n. var. 



Margin of the pileus incurved ; pores unequal, angular, short. Maine. 

 F. L. Harvey. 



The margin of the pileus is conspicuously incurved as in P. cuticularis. 



Polyporus versicolor Fr. var. aibomarginatus n. var. 



Pileus as in the type but the margin rather broadly covered with white 

 hairs often definitely separated from the darker part by a glabrous zone; 

 pores white, often lacerated. Newfoundland. A. C. Waghorne. 



Merulius lacrymans Fr. var. terrestris n. var. 



Subiculum whitish or grayish ; hymenium and spores bright-ferruginous, 

 otherwise as in the type. 



In moist or somewhat dry clay bank in a cellar, forming thin mats or 

 patches whose extent depends on the degree of moisture. Alma, Michi- 

 gan. October. Chas. A. Davis.
