Type : in Kew Herb. 



Fructification coriaceous, resupinate, sometimes narrowly 

 reflexed, separable, ochraceous buff, the margin slightly paler, 

 the reflexed portion tomentose; structure in section, 200-300 

 /i thick, (1) with hyphae next to substratum ochraceous, 

 loosely interwoven and protruded, 3 /x in diameter, similar to 

 those on outer surface of reflexed portion, (2) with inter- 

 mediate layer 100-180 /x thick, composed of longitudinally 

 arranged hyphae 2 /x in diameter, (3) with hymenium com- 

 posed of basidia 10 /x below the surface, imbedded in jelly 

 through which rise a few filiform paraphyses or hyphae to 

 the surface; hymenium even, ochraceous buff; basidia longi- 

 tudinally cruciately septate, pyrif orm, 12-15 X 9-10 /x ; spores 

 colorless, simple, even, curved, 10-13 X 3J-5 /x. 



Fructifications of type described as several inches long, 

 originally orbicular; Cuban specimen 1 cm. long, 1 cm. broad, 

 reflexed side 1-2 mm. long, 1 cm. broad. 



On dead wood in virgin forest. Cuba and Brazil. March. 



The fructification resembles in habit and coloration that of 

 a resupinate specimen of Stereum hirsutum with a very nar- 

 rowly reflexed margin. The Cuban collection, of which but a 

 single fructification was communicated to me, is much smaller 

 than the Brazilian type and has the hyphae of the intermediate 

 layer with gelatinously modified wall.
