Trametes roseola. 



A beautiful species with rose-colored context. 



Trametes avellanea. 



This species was recently named from Madagascar, and distributed in the exsic- 

 catae (anonymously) from Wien (No. 1910). It is quite close to Trametes roseola and also 

 Fomes nontostus.

HYDNUM. 



Hydnum rawakense. 



NOTE 111. These specimens differ from the Brazilian specimens distributed by 

 Rick in having spines more slender, three times as long, and of a deeper red color. 

 As the species came originally from the East, it is prob- 

 able that the Madagascar specimens are nearer the type 

 than the Brazilian.

Stereum unguliformis. 



Hydnum petaloides. 



NOTE 112. Pileus orbicular, 1-2 cm. in di- 

 ameter, thin, smooth, yellowish. Stipe slender, 3-4 cm. 

 long, with yellow tomentum. Spines slender, yellow. 

 Spores small, S-S 1 /^ mic., globose, hyaline, smooth. 

 We know no similar species excepting Hydnum luteolum, a rare and little known 



species of France. The European species has a spathulate pileus tapering to the base. 



It is described in Fries' Hym., p. 607, and based on a vague, ancient reference of Villars. 



The only specimens in the museums are at Paris, labeled in error, Hydnum gecgenium. 



Hydnum petaloides is quite different from Hydnum luteolum, having an orbicular pileus 



and a slender stem. 



Hydnum pulcherrimum. 



NOTE 113. What strange facts do develop in the distribution of fungi! Here 

 we have a species common in the United Stales, but we are satisfied there is not a specimen 

 of it from any other country in any museum of Europe. Mr. Henri Perrier de la Bathie 

 sends a specimen from Ifarlctf/ascar, absolutely the same as our American plant.
