ZIMM, L. A., New York: 



Trametes sepium. Polystictus biformis. Polystictus hirsutus. Polyp- 

 orus gilvus. 



Note. The specimens that were attributed in Letter 60 to S. A. Zourne, 

 New York, were sent by L. A. Zimm. We regret the error in record. 



ZUNDEL, GEO. L., Utah: 

 Polystictus cinnabarinus. 



NOTE 396. Polyporus subradicatus, from Frank H. Ames, New York. A very rare plant, 

 and this is the first I have gotten. It can be described briefly as a large-pored Polyporus 

 picipes. Had Murrill appreciated its relationships, he would have called it subpicipes, with 

 which it agrees in spores, habits and texture. It has nothing whatever to do with Polyporus 

 radicatus. 



NOTE 397. Polyporns circinnatus, frbm Frank H. Ames, New York. Growing on a 

 stump, with the same characters as the usual plant growing in the ground, including the 

 peculiar, hooked setae, spores, mesopodiaJ stipe, context, color, etc., I think we shall have to 

 so refer it, growing in an unusual habitat. 



NOTE 398. Polyporus corruscans (or rheades), from W. A. Archer, New Mexico. Four 

 different collections on Mesquite and Cottonwood, evidently very common ir. this region. The 

 specimen tends to the form on poplar in Europe (P. rheades), rather than to the oak form 

 (P. corruscans). One of the specimens shows the grumose base, characteristic of this species. 

 There is not the slightest doubt that Polyporus Texanus, as named by Murrill from this region, 

 on Mesquite, is exactly the same thing. 



NOTE 399. Stereum Bnrtiannm, from H. C. Beardslee, North Carolina. A rather rare 

 plant. I found it last summer at Eglon, W. Va. It should be moved in my pamphlet from 

 Section 2 to Section 4*. It is very close to Stereum Ravenelii, if not the same species. 



NOTE 400. Sparaasis crispa, from H. C. Beardslee, North Carolina. Although this has 

 the reputation of being a "common" plant, this is the first good specimen I have ever re- 

 ceived. Fries' definition of Sparassis, "fertile on both sides,'' should be corrected, as pointed 

 out by A. D. Cotton. The hymenium, for the greater part of the lobes, if not all, is on one 

 side only, and there is no distinction between this genus and Stereum except that Sparassis 

 is more fleshy. The genus should be moved from Clavariaceae to Thelephoraceae, next to 

 Stereum, if not incorporated in Stereum. 



NOTE 401. Polyponis, cfr. alutaceus, from R. P. Burke, Alabama. This is not Polyporus 

 alutaceus, but is so close I would not wish to name it from a single specimen. It agrees with 

 alutaceus in flesh, pores and spores (small, globose, 2-3 mic. opaque), and differs only in hav- 

 ing rugulose, ridged, and slightly tomentose surface. 



NOTE 402. Mitremyces cinnabarinus, from R. P. Burke, Alabama. It is worthy of spe- 

 cial mention that this unique plant should be collected in central Alabama. Its home is the 

 Allegheny Mountains, where it is frequent, but it does occur rarely in the East and South, 

 but seems never to go West. There is a collection at Kew from Texas, and at Berlin one 

 from Jalapa, Mexico. However, I have never before gotten it, excepting from the Alle- 

 ghenies or the East. 



NOTE 403. Lenzites betulina, from J. M. Grant, Washington. Thick and suberose. This 

 is the "type" idea of Lenzites betulina and is rather unusual. The usual collection is more 

 thin and flaccid, viz. : Lenzites flaccida, but both are surely the same species. 



NOTE 404. Lentinus Sajor caju, from Prof. T. Fetch, Ceylon. This, which, judging from 

 the collections I have received, is the most frequent Lentinus in the East, is reported by 

 Prof. Fetch as rare in Ceylon. The gills are narrow and close, rather than broad and distant 

 as stated in our Letter 47.
