IRPEX PURPUREUS, FROM JAPAN, AS NAMED BY 

 PROF. A. YASUDA (Fig. 1072). Pileate from an effused base. 



Pileus purplish brown, with 

 soft, appressed, fibrillose sur- 

 face. Teeth slender or de- 

 formed, irregular, often com- 

 pound. Sometimes near the 

 margin deformed and re- 

 duced to Radulum-like tu- 

 bercules : dark purplish 

 brown, velutinate to the 

 eye. Cystidia dense, hya- 

 line, smooth, mostly blunt, 

 5-7 mic. thick. Spores (if 

 correctly seen) globose, hya- 

 line, smooth, 5-6 mic. 



The character of the 

 species is the velutinate, 

 purplish hymenium, remind- 

 ing one of the hymenium of 

 Stereum membranaceum. 



We present a photograph (Fig. 1072). showing the general habits 

 of the plant. 



IRPEX LAMELLIFORMIS, FROM J. UMEMURA, JAPAN 

 (Fig. 1073). We have gotten this plant several times from Japan, 

 viz.: J. Umemura, J. E. A. Lewis, H. Miyabe, T. Yoshinaga, and 

 perhaps others. We misreferred it to Irpex Noharae (Cfr. Myc. 

 Notes, page 601) from our record, but on a recent visit to New York 

 we again examined the type of Irpex Noharae and found it different. 

 There are three species in Japan with lamelliform teeth, and it is
