Type: authentie specimen in Kew Herb.—probably portion 
of type. 
Fructifications effuso-reflexed, cespitose-imbricated, often 
dimidiate, radiately rugose, sericeous, with the hairs radially 
decumbent, bay, becoming somewhat zonate with interrupted 
blackish zones, radially plicate, 
the margin lobed, sometimes | 
proliferous, yellow ocher; hy- SESS SS

posed of closely and longitu- қоп x 44. See pl. 16, f. 5. 
dinally arranged, colored, very 
thick-walled hyphae 31-4 шіп diameter and up to 5 д on the 
upper surface of the pileus; setae scattered, not crowded, 
90-120 12-15 u, emerging 60-75 и, tapering from the base 
upward to a slender point; spores hyaline, even, 634 и. 
Fructifications with reflexed part 1 em. broad, 1 em. long, 
laterally confluent into clusters up to 3 em. broad. 
On bark and rotten wood. Jamaica and Guiana. December 
and January. Rare. 
The general aspect of H. Berkeleyana is suggestive of that 
of H. badio-ferruginea but the former has its pilei more 
crowded together than the latter and radially plieate. The 
absenee of any dark zones bordering the intermediate layer 
of H. Berkeleyana sharply separates this species from the 
H. tabacina group when sections are examined, and places the 
species in the group with H. attenuata and H. Sallei, from 
both of which it is distinet by its plieate, more crowded pilei, 
eovering of the pilei, and larger setae. I had not received 
the collections from Jamaica, cited below, when I studied the 
authentie specimen from Montagne at Kew, but these later
