CONTEXT PINK OR ROSE COLOR. 



Trametes carnea is usually a good, thin Trametes. I have a few specimens 

 thickened with an additional, indistinct pore layer, but it is never a good Fomes. 

 In our Eastern States the surface is even and often pale, but in the West it is more 

 fibrillose, uneven, and dark. The following is a marked variety. 



SPECIMENS. Many, extending clear across the United States. None from foreign countries- 

 Compare Palliser. 



TRAMETES ARCTIC A. This is evidently only a form of Trametes carnea, 

 with the surface silvery white, with appressed fibrils. It is known at Kew from 

 two collections, British America, and in my collection there is a plant from Dr. 

 W. H. Henderson, California. It docs not occur in our Eastern States where the 

 type form of Trametes carnea is so common. Berkeley labeled it in his herbarium 

 Trametes arctica, also Polyporus Palliser. Cooke endeavored to publish it under 

 the latter name, but he made such a mess of it (cfr. Note 8, Letter 32) that it is 

 better to drop Polyporus Palliser entirely. 



Compare Palliser.
