332 MurrILL: PoLyPpoORACEAE OF NortTH AMERICA 
dry, fringed with numerous short, fugacious cilia: context white, 
fibrous, 0.25 mm. thick, translucent near the margin ; tubes adnate, 
white, 0.3 mm. long, hexagonal, radially elongated, mouths 1 x 2 
m., much smaller near the margin, edges thin, subentire ; spores 
ellipsoidal, smooth, hyaline, 3.5 x 9; stipe central, equal, con- 
colorous, pruinose to glabrous, 2-3 cm. long, 2 mm. thick. 
This species is described from plants collected in Honduras by 
Percy Wiison (zo. 640) March, 1903. They grew on dead logs 
by the shore of a lagoon not far from the coast. All stages are 
represented. 
15. Hexagona indurata (Berk.) 
Favolus induratus Berk. Ann, Nat. Hist. II. g: 198. 1852. 
Collected on wood in San Domingo. The type plants are at 
Kew. If the tubes alone were considered, this species would 
belong rather with Favolus. It differs from H. cucullata in having 
larger tubes, and being purple in color. 
16. Hexagona cucullata (Mont.) 
Favolus cucullatus Mont. Pl. Cell. Cuba, 378. pl. rg. f. 2. 1842: 
Montagne’s type from Cuba is well described and figured in 
the work cited. Although the tubes are regularly hexagonal, it 
seems best to place the species in Hexagona because of general 
appearance, structure and habit. Berkeley considered Favolus 
curtipes B. & C. (Kew Misc. 1: 234. 1849) a synonym of Mon- 
tagne’s species, remarking that plants collected in San Domingo 
exactly connect the Cuban species with that described from South 
Carolina. 
17. Hexagona Taxodii sp. nov. 
Pileus reniform, applanate, umbonate-sessile, 3-6 x 6—8 x 0.2 
cm.; surface glabrous, radiate-striate, cream-colored to ochraceous, 
marked with two or three broad undulations from center to mar- 
gin, which is thin, entire, irregularly undulate or lobed and de- 
flexed when dry: context tough, white, homogeneous, 0.5 mm. 
thick ; tubes dark fulvous, hexagonal, not radialiy elongated, 1.5 
mm. long, I mm. wide, edges thin, finely denticulate; spores 
ellipsoidal, smooth, hyaline, 14 x 7, copious; stipe a mere 
scutate disk nearly a centimeter in breadth. 
The type collection of this species was made by Small & Wil- 
son near Miami, Florida, May, 1904. The sporophores were
