ing logs in Honduras, Feb. 16, 1903. It resembles some plants 
called P. chrysites at Kew, but is quite distinct from that species. 
The shape of the spores as given above may be due to extreme 
desiccation. 
8. Inonotus pusillus sp. nov. 
Pileus sessile, convex, flabelliform, tapering to a narrow base, 
rumpent from lenticels, 2 x 2 x 0.5-1 mm. ; surface ferruginous 
to fulvous, silky-striate, subzonate, shining, margin pallid, acute, 
often depressed: context thin, fibrous, ferruginous; tubes um- 
brinous, comparatively large, 2-4 to a mm., polygonal, becoming 
itregular, much exceeding in length the thickness of the context ; 
mouths at first whitish-pulverulent, dissepiments thin, entire : 
Spores small, ovoid, 3.5 x 5 4, pale ferruginous, copious, hyphae 
concolorous. 
This species is based upon plants collected by Dr. Edward 
Palmer, no. 1520, at Manzanillo, Mexico, in 1892. The tiny 
brown sporophores were found in large numbers emerging from 
the lenticels of small dead branches of /acguinia, It was appar-- 
ently recognized as a new species by Ellis and Galloway and dis- 
tributed by them jointly under the genus-name Zyametes, and later 
listed by Patouillard (Tax. Hymen. 101. 1900) as a species of 
NXanthochrous, The tentative name first proposed for the species 
is here made use of, but according to present usage I am, unfortu- 
nately, not permitted to cite the authors, since no description 
accompanied the name. 
This is one of the very smallest plants met with in the Polypo- 
*aceae. Two other tiny plants are of interest in this connection, 
— Porodiscus pendulus, which is also erumpent from lenticels, but has 
hyaline spores ; and Coltriciclla dependens, which is more like the 
Present species in general appearance and structure, but is stipt- 
tate instead of sessile, having the stipe attached to the vertex of . 
the pileus like the handle of a tiny bell.
