DAEUALEA UNGULATA (Fig. 753), FROM JOHN E. A. 

 LEWIS, JAPAN. Pileus sessile, ungulate, 2-3 inches thick. Surface 

 pale, minutely and densely pubescent. Context antique brown, 

 varying to raw sienna. Pores sinuate, daedaloid, with thick walls. 

 Hymenial surface pale, alutaceous, contrasting with the context 

 color. Hymenium pubescent with projecting, subhyaline hyphae. 

 Spores not found.

Daedalea ungulata. 



Though smaller, this has same shape and hymenial configuration 

 as Daedalea quercina, but the coloration is like Lenzites saepiaria. 

 I am satisfied it is only an ungulate, daedaloid form of Lenzites 

 saepiaria, but no such form is known elsewhere than in Japan. Of 

 this the color and shape are similar to Daedalea Guyoniana from 

 Algeria, known from one old specimen at Paris (as Trametes). At 

 first I so referred this collection, but I have since noted that Daedalea 

 Guyoniana has colored spores and belongs to Prof. McGinty's "new 

 genus" Phaeodaedalea, hence can not be the plant from Japan. 



FOMES CLELANDII (Fig. 754), FROM DR. J. B. CLELAXD, 

 AUSTRALIA. Pileus sessile, small, 1-2 cm. in diameter. Surface 



black, rugulose, dull. Context isa- 

 belline. Pores minute with white 

 mouths. Cystidia none. Spores 

 elliptical, 6-7 x 7-8^2, subhyaline, 

 opaque, smooth. When this was 

 received it was referred with doubt 



(cfr. Note 297, Letter 59) to Fomes scutellatus, an American species, 

 with which it exactly accords to the eye. We have since found that 

 the spores of Fomes scutellatus are entirely different, hence must 

 rename the Australian plant. It goes in Section 57 of our Fomes 

 Synopsis. 



POLYSTICTUS SUBAFFINIS (Fig. 755), FROM J. UM- 

 EMURA, JAPAN. Pileus thin, spathulate, tapering to a reduced 

 base, rarely with a short, lateral stipe. Surface glabrous, pale brown. 

 Pores minute, ochraceus. 



We have three collections of this plant from Mr. Umemura, 

 Nos. 66, 87 and 112. Formerly we referred it to Polystictus polydac- 

 tylis on the strength of our photograph of plant from South America
