Missouri: St. Louis, N. M. Glatfelter (in Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb., 
42559). 
3. T. caespitulans Schw. Trans. Am. Phil. Soc. N. S. 4: 166. 
1831.1 
Type: in Herb. Schweinitz. 
Fructification erect, coriaceous, dusky drab to olive-brown 
below, paler above, very much branched, forming clusters 21 
em. high by 22 em. broad; pileus with numerous divisions joined 
together into а solid base but assurgent above and pressed to- 
gether closely, compressed, subcanaliculate, frequently obtuse 
and whitish at the apex; hymenium amphigenous; spores um- 
brinous under the microscope, sparingly tuberculate, 7-8 x 
5—би. 
On the ground in mixed woods, Vermont to South Carolina, 
and in dense coniferous woods, Washington. September. Rare. 
This species is related to Т. palmata but is more olivaceous, 
and it is probably inodorous,—at least no odor has been noted. 
The dimensions for the clusters given above, as stated by 
Schweinitz, are probably maximum dimensions, for the speci- 
mens recently collected have been rather smaller. My Vermont 
specimens were growing with the thick, solid base buried in 
sandy ground in а wood road; they have dried pallid except at 
the base and are slightly pubescent. Тһе general habit of 
this species is somewhat suggested by a small cluster of Tremel- 
lodendron pallidum (Schw.) Atk. 
Specimens examined: 
Vermont: Lake Dunmore, E. A. Burt. 
Pennsylvania: Bethlehem, Schweinitz, type (in Herb. Schw., 
Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila.). 
South Carolina: Santee Canal, Ravenel, 1660 (in Curtis Herb. 
under name Т. vialis). 
Washington: Chebalis, C. J. Humphrey, 1287; Bingen, W. N. 
Suksdorf, 689. 
4. T. scissilis Burt, n. sp. Plate 4. fig. 8. 
Type: in Burt Herb.
