Polyporoids pamphlet, but if I were rewriting it I would rearrange 

 this section 19, uniting subsection a with previous subsection and re- 

 numbering 196. From the description one might take this to be Poly- 

 porus tristiculus of South America, but to me plants have little rela- 

 tion excepting the arrangement. 



CYCLOMYCES GREENII, FROM J. UMEMURA, JAPAN 

 (Fig. 902). The occurrence of this rare plant in Japan is of the 

 greatest interest. For many 

 years it was looked upon as 

 among the rarities of the 

 United States and it is not 

 often collected with us. A 

 full account was given in My- 

 cological Notes, (page 488). 

 We reproduce a figure to give 

 the Japanese collectors an 

 idea of this 'curious fungus. 

 The gills are concentrically 

 arranged directly contrary to 

 the usual way gills are placed. 

 Mr. Umemura's plant is 

 undeveloped but is un- 

 questionably the same as our 

 American plant. Only twice 

 before has Cyclomyces 

 Greenii been collected in the 

 East and both times discov- 

 ered to be a "new species."

First by Hooker in India sixty years 



ago, and called by Berkeley Cyclomyces turbinatus, then it was sent 

 to Patouillard from Java twenty years ago, and called Cyclomyces 

 Javanicus. This is the first time we have ever gotten it excepting 

 from United States. When the truth is learned about fungi, it is 

 found that the species are relatively few, the distribution wide. 



IRPEX IYOENSIS, FROM A. YASUDA, JAPAN (Fig. 903). 

 As named by Professor Yasuda. Effused with reflexed pileus. Sur- 

 face faintly zonate, dark. Spines 2-3 mm. 

 long, irregular, connate at base. Hyme- 

 nium dense, pubescent with short (8-12 

 mic.) subhyaline, projecting hairs, and with 

 rare long (projecting 30-35 mic.), deep col- 

 ored setae. Spores no doubt hyaline, not 

 found. There are numerous small, hyaline, 

 globose bodies 2-3 mic. which I take to be 

 conidial spores. 



Irpex iyoensis is closely related to the 

 common Irpex cinnamomeus of the United States, which however, 

 never develops a pileus, and which has exactly the same colored 

 spines, but abundant setae. The spines of the two species are same 

 -color and appearance to the eye. I know no other species with cin-
