SECTION PETALOIDES. 



PENETRALIS. Pileus spathulate, tapering to a long- stem. 

 Color pale. Pores small. Grew on stem of tree ferns in greenhouse 

 in England. No type in the museums, but it is well illustrated. (Jour. 

 Bot., 1875, t. 162.) 



CANDIDUS. Pure white with a lateral stipe. Pores small. Seems to be 

 well illustrated (Persoon, Myc. Europe, t. 15), but is unknown from specimens 

 in any museums or recent collection. Referred as being a form of chioneus by 

 Fries, but it is surely not. 



OBLIQUUS. Context pale, darker in drying. Pores i l / 2 -2 mm. 

 long. Pileus with a long, lateral stem. Known from one collection, 

 New Guinea, at Kew. With the exception of long pores it has a 

 resemblance to obovatus. 



14. POLYPORUS. FLESHY, THIN SPECIES, COLOR 

 WHITE OR PALE. PORES LARGE, FAVOLOID. 



JANSEANUS (Fig. 431). Pileus thin, fleshy, pure white, taper- 

 ing to a long stem. Pores large, favoloid. Known from one collec- 

 tion from Java, preserved in alcohol at Berlin.

Petaloides Janseanus. Petaloides brachyporus. 



BRACHYPORUS (Fig. 432). Pileus thin, tapering- to a lateral 

 stipe. Pores large, shallozv. Dried specimens dark and brittle, but I 

 judge white or pale when fresh. Originally from French Guiana, in 

 the herbarium of Montagne. There is also a collection at Berlin from 

 Brazil, which Hennings has named as a "new species," but I have 

 mislaid my memorandum as to what he called it.
