 Cladoderris Florida 



CLADODERRIS FLORIDANA. (Fig. 734.) Usually grow- 

 ing on top of log, and then cup-shaped with short stipe. When on the 

 side of log flabelliform or orbicular, reduced to a short stipe-like at- 

 tachment at the base. Upper surface reddish brown, zoned, with 

 appressed, compact, thin, tomentose pad near base. Hymenial sur- 

 face reddish brown, densely, minutely papillate, disposed in narrow 

 ridges, but not with the branching, strong veins of other species of 

 Cladoderris. Cystidia none. Spores compressed, globose 1]4 x 3, 

 hyaline, smooth, with a small gutta near the end. 



Growing on frondose wood and quite rare at Bayard, Florida. 



As only recently I hunted up all the species of Cladoderris in the 

 museums of Europe, and expressed the opinion that but one valid 

 species had been named in the last sixty years, I was a little surprised 

 to find one growing in Florida.
