Leveille also saw a specimen from Mexico in the museum at Paris, 

 and labeled it "Leptochaete igniaria." It did not get into print, 

 but the specimen still bears this label. Swartz published it originally 

 as Hydnum resupinatum, but, as it was not resupinate, he afterward 

 took the liberty of changing it without consulting Otto Kuntze to 

 Thelephora setosa. Berkeley found the specimen in the British 

 Museum, and republished it in 1842 and gave a good figure of it. 

 Thirty years later he got a specimen from Venezuela, and, having 

 forgotten his previous publication, discovered it was a "new species," 

 and published it as Hymenochaete aspera. It is compiled in Sac- 

 cardo under both names and in different genera.

Hydnochaete setosa. 



As this Hydnochaete differs from all other known pileate Hy- 

 menochaete not only in its tubercular hymenium, but also in the 

 strigose, matted hairs, Professor McGinty proposed to restore 

 Leveille's ^name and call the plant "Leptochaete setosa (Berkeley) 

 McGinty." Those who recognize the genus "Funales" cannot con- 

 sistently refuse to recognize the genus Leptochaete, for both are based 

 on the same characters. 



HYDXOCHAETE BADIA (Fig. 767). Resupinate, broadly ef- 

 fused, no distinct margin. Subiculum 2-3 mm. thick, coriaceous, 

 Sudan brown. Hymenium darker than context, varying in con- 

 figuration, tubercular, irpicoid, or sometimes with indications of
