SPORES HYALINE. 



color. Context white, or pale, firm. Pores small, round, pale, dis- 

 colored, probably in drying. Spores globose, white, 4-5 mic., tuber- 

 cular, rough. 



There are but few poly pores known with rough, white spores 

 only one other, we believe, in this pamphlet although there is a sec- 

 tion of stipitate polypores (Section 27 of Merismus) with echinulate 

 spores, and one species in Ovinus. Only two collections have reached 

 Europe, first from Brazil a single specimen which Montagne named 

 as above and then a collection from Cuba which was composed of 

 smaller, thinner specimens. Berkeley called the latter Polyporus 

 albogilvus. The plant does not occur in the abundant material from 

 the West Indies in the New York Garden. 



Compare albogilvus. 



B. Flesh soft, spongy. 

 (We include here Polyporus quercinus which should have gone with the Stipitate species.)
