 great French cryptogamist.

The specimens are duller than those from Brazil, and scarcely 

 jsp much zoned, but I am unable to distinguish them specifically. 



39. Stereum fulvo-nitens, n. s. Pileo rigido tenui profunde 

 infundibuliformi nitido creberrime zonato hymenioque la?vi glabro 

 fulvis; stipite brevissimo nigro. Salle, no. 56. On dead wood. 



Pileus coriaceous, thin, rigid when dry, deeply and regularly 

 infundibuliform, 1 inch or more across and deep, shining, of a 

 beautiful rich tawny red, marked with close zones of a slightly 

 darker tinge finely striate ; margin even, not plicate. Stem ^ of 

 an inch high, 1 line thick, blackish, dull, as if pulverulent. Hy- 

 menium even, smooth, bright tawny. 



A very beautiful species allied to S. elegans, but distinguished 

 by its regular form and brighter colours, especially that of the 

 hymenium.

41. Stereum petalodes,n. s. Coriaceum ; primitus infundibuli- 

 forme demum fisso-multipartitum; lobis striatis opacis subglabris; 

 hymenio pallido rimoso. Salle, no. 58. 



Densely crowded, at first infundibuliform, soon split into nu- 

 merous lobes, which are again more or less divided ; dull reddish 

 brown, marked with long grooves or stria?; hymenium pale, 

 much cracked, sometimes so much so as to be granulated. 



Allied to S. involutum, but much more split and lobed, with 

 an obsolete stem and paler hymenium. The hymenium is not 

 granulated from the beginning, but merely in consequence of 

 the frequent cracking of the fructiferous stratum.
