and called it Hexagona crinigera. Klotzsch got it from Mauritius and referred it 

 to Linnaeus' (alleged) species under a Friesian name-change, Hexagcna sinensis. 

 Berkeley decided it was not the Linnaean species and changed it to Trametes 

 Klotzschii. (He was only guessing, but probably guessed right.) I think 

 this name has been most generally used for it. Then Leveille got a specimen 

 from Madagascar, and found it to be another new species, Trametes crassa. 

 Then Cooke got the same collection (Perville, Madagascar) and described it 

 as Trametes adelphica, but he does not seem to have taken himself very seriously, 

 for he never changed his manuscript name on his specimens and they are found 

 to-day in his collection as Hexagona strigosa.

Hexagona capillacea. 



HEXAGONA 

 CAPILLACEA (Fig. 

 281.) Color light, 

 ferruginous or cinna- 

 mon, covered with a 

 dense coat of concol- 

 orous hairs. Pores 

 large, 3-4 mm. deep, 

 with thin, flaccid 

 walls. Bright fer- 

 ruginous in color, de- 

 void of setae. 



H i s t o r y. This is 

 known from a single 

 specimen (Fig. 281) from Venezuela, South America, now in the herbarium of 

 Patouillard. From the figure it is evidently close to apiaria, but is lighter 

 color, has finer hairs and thinner, more flaccid pore-walls.
