POLYSTICTUS (SECT. PELLOPORUS) LIGNICOLA, 

 FROM REV. C. TORREND, BRAZIL (Fig. 1039). Entire 

 plant cinnamon brown, 2 

 to 3 inches in diameter 

 (one specimen sent 7 inches 

 in diameter), mostly pleu- 

 ropodial, rarely mesopo- 

 dial. Stipe 1-2 inches, 

 solid, covered with short 

 cinnamon tomentum. Sur- 

 face hard, rugulose. Con- 

 text thin, concolorous. 

 Pores rigid, with thin walls, 

 medium 2 to mm. round 

 or somewhat elongated. 

 Mouths and pore tissue 

 concolorous. Hymenium 

 velutinate with subhyaline 

 projecting hyphae, some- 

 what colored, but without 

 the true setae of similar 

 species. Spores not found. 



The feature of the 

 species is the rigid, trame- 

 toid pores, hardly suggest-

where we would classify it. The plants are lignicoline, differing in 

 habits from others of the section. Rev. Torrend kindly suggests, in 

 sending it, the name Pelloporus Lloydii, which we are unable to use 

 in keeping with rules we made some years ago. 



STEREUM FRUSTULOSUM, FROM W. SMALL, AFRICA 



(Fig. 1040). This species occurs very commonly in the United 

 States and Europe, and 

 I have it from Japan. 

 With us it always grows 

 on hard, oak logs that are 

 but little decayed. It is 

 resupinate, tubercular, as 

 if broken into little pieces, 

 hence the name. Our fig- 

 ure 1041 gives an accurate 

 representation of it that 

 can not be confused. Fries 

 describes it as date brown, 

 and so I found it in 

 Sweden, but with us it has 



usually brown con text and Fig. 1040.
