m the walls between the pores m a very characteristic manner. 

 Hymenial elements hyaline. Spores hyaline, cylindrical,

Trametes punicea, Fr. Nov. Symb, p. 98 (1851). 



Distinct from Trametes cinnabarhia, Jacq. in the larger pores, 

 which have a tendency to become daedalecid, and in the darker 

 colour of all the parts. It appears to be a verj^ rare species, and 

 was first described by Fries from Malaya, 



Pileus sessile, r%7 cm. broad l)y 2-4-5 cm. across, and up to 

 2 cm.^ deep beLind, cinnabar-red at the obtuse margin, but 

 becoming deep-crimson to blackish behind; surface smooth, 

 not zoned, sometimes radiately rugulose. Fores 0-5-1 mm. in 

 diameter, and up to 1 cm. deep behind, cinnabar to dull blood-red, 

 irregular, walls thin, edges obtuse. Flesh cinnabar-red, with a 

 dull rusty tmge, 3-6 mm. thick, zoned. Spores hyaline, elliptical,
