 278 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 



The twenty gatherings eited below have been separated from 

 P. sanguinea by the absence of incrusted hyphae in their sectional 

 preparations. In the original description of T. miniata, Berkeley 

 stated, "This most elegant species differs so much from T. san- 

 guinea Fr., in being mos,t highly colored where exposed to light, 

 while in the portions to which light has not free access it is nearly 

 white, and in not tinging the wood whereon it grows with its 

 own color, that an inspection of specimens renders it almost im- 

 possible to consider it the same." Fifteen of the twenty speci- 

 mens referred below to P. miniata on account of absence of 

 hyphal incrustation have the hymenium red and only five 

 pinkish buff, while none of the twenty specimens show the wood 

 stained red.
