SPECIES IMPERFECTLY KNOWN 



Thelephora aculeata Berk. & Curtis, Grevillea i: 149. 1873; 

 Sacc. Syll. Fung. 6: 523. 1888. 



The type was collected on the ground in Santee Swamp, South 

 Carolina, in June. I had compared with the type a collection 

 made by Professor P. H. Rolfs, on the ground, Clemson Col- 

 lege, South Carolina, on June 18, and found this collection so 

 similar to the type in aspect, although smaller, that I referred 

 this specimen to Thelephora aculeata. I had not been able to 

 demonstrate basidia for the type nor for the Rolfs specimen; 

 now while working out the detailed structure of the latter speci- 

 men for publication, I find globose, longitudinally septate 

 basidia 9 n in diameter, and hyaline, even spores up to 9X4J-5 /*. 

 It seems probable that when there is opportunity to examine the 

 type again it may be found to have similar basidia and belong in 

 Tremellodendron. 



Stereum arenicolum Berkeley in Massee, Linn. Soc. Bot. Jour. 

 27:201. 1890. 



"Resupinatum, effusum, crassum, rigidum, subtus tomento 

 ferrugineo molli vestitum; hymenio levi, glabro fusco-purpu- 

 rascente; sporae ellipsoideae, 7X4-5 ju (Berk, in Herb. n. 3822). 



"On sand under trees, Vera Cruz. 



"Rigid, thick, 2-3 inches across, attached to the sand and 

 probably decayed wood by a dense ferrugineous tomentum; 

 margin sometimes slightly upraised; substance pale cinnamon." 



The above should be compared with S. crassum.
