TRAMETES GILVOIDES. 



Entire plant gilvous brown, pileus subresupinate, adnate, the 

 surface of the pileus covered with rigid, brown setae in the same 

 manner as those of Trametes hydnoides. Context gilvous brown. 

 Hymenium with numerous slender setae of the " Hymenochaete 

 type. Pores small, round, with glancing mouths. Spores globose, 

 2>x3 mic., hyaline (or perhaps pale colored). 



This is a plant I collected (one collection only) on oak branch 

 in Florida in January, 1897. I have never since seen it in any museum, 

 and when I collected it I was not able to get it determined. One 

 "authority" to whom I sent it referred it to Poria contigua (sic), 

 another to Trametes hispida (sic). It has not the most remote re- 

 semblance to either species. 



It belongs to the section "Hispida" of Trametes, with Trametes 

 hynoides alnd Trametes hystrix, but departs from all in that section 

 in having setae on the hymenium similar to those of Polyporus gilvus. 



"TRAMETES GALLICA." 



We present (figure 517) photograph made from a specimen in 

 Monsieur Boudier's herbarium as Trametes gallica, and so interpreted 

 by Monsieur Boudier. It is a very rare form in France, and Monsieur 

 Boudier tells me that in his forty years' experience the species has 

 only come to his attention twice. He considered it a valid species.
