604 MurRILL: POLYPORACEAE OF NorTH AMERICA 
2. Sesia Berkeleyi (Sacc.) 
Daedalea rhabarbarina Berk. & Cooke, Grevillea, 6: 130. 1877; 
not D. rhabarbarina Mont. 
Daedalea Berkeleyt Sacc. Syll. Fung. 6: 381. 1888. 
This species was described from specimens collected on pine 
stumps near Gainesville, Florida. The fruit-body is larger than inany 
other American species and the surface is only slightly tomentose, 
becoming glabrous with age. The margin is much lighter than 
the surface, being tawny-orange in color and contrasting vividly 
with the dark umber of the older growth. It is also more porous 
than most species of Sesia, the tubes rarely becoming more than 
sinuous, though it is sometimes lamellate in parts of the tropics 
where the fruit-body grows quickly. The only specimens at hand 
are those collected by C. G. Lloyd in Florida and by Smith in 
Nicaragua and Mexico. 
3. Sesia striata (Sw.) 
Agaricus striatus Sw. Prodr. 148. 1788.—FIl. Ind. Occ. 3: 1920. 
1806. 
Daedalea striata Fr. Syst. Myc. 1: 334. 1821. 
Lenzites striata Fr. Epicr. 406. 1838. 
Lenzites protracta Fr. Nov. Symb. 45. 1851. 
This species was the first of two plants listed by Swartz in his 
Prodromus under the genus Agaricus, the second being Schiso- 
phyllum alneum, also common in Jamaica. The brief description, 
“A. acaulis, convexus ferrugineus pubescens, margine integy, 
lamellis alternis interruptis cinereis,” is, as usual, much amplified 
in his later work. 
Specimens from Mexico, still to be seen in the Fries herbarium 
at Upsala, were described by Fries as L. protracta, a name which 
has been generally assigned in Europe to a very different plant. 
Fries also called some of the Mexican collectiens-of this species 
L. umbrina. 
Sesta striata is quite abundant on decaying wood in various 
parts of tropical America, as the following partial list of specimens 
will show : Colombia, Baker; Nicaragua, Smith ; Honduras, W il- 
son 200, 276; Mexico, Smith; Cuba, Underwood & Earle 5°}
