sclerotium about two inches in diameter. Spores said to be s-8 x 6-0 

 pale yellowish. 5 



This is known from 



single specimen from Africa found in the museum 



at Berlin. It has the sclerotium attached. Xo .llustration of it has been pu 

 hshed heretofore. There is another species in Africa with a sclerotium (Poly 

 porus sacer) which seems to be much more common, but it is quite different 

 trom this.

POLYPORUS SAPUREMA. This species from Brazil has a 

 large sclerotium about eight inches in diameter, and Moeller records 

 large specimens weighing when dry more than twenty pounds. 



5 I did not examine the spores, but I do not question that I should have found them white, as I 

 think few if any plants with such pale context have colored spores.
