BURT—THELEPHORACEAE OF NORTH AMERICA. X 337 
rubiginosa was stated by Fries, Elenchus Fung. 1: 174, in the 
comment of the original description of T'helephora leprosa 
collected in Brazil. If the specimen of Thelephora leprosa 
upon which Léveillé based his transfer of this Species of 
Hymenochaete is still in the Museum of Paris Herbarium and 
is from the original collection, comparison with this specimen 
may show that H. reflexa should be regarded as a synonym 
of T. leprosa. The structure in section of H. reflexa is very 
like that of H. unicolor, but the hymenium is of different color 
and all the collections of H. unicolor have the margin closely 
adnate.
