to dififerent age and different rapidity of growth, but this can, in my opinion, 

 only be ascertained by comparing sets of specimens of all ages. The pores 

 are about 7 per mm. 



P. (Phaeoporia) inerniis Ellis. 



Masatierra : The ridge between Quebr. Piedra ogujereada and Q. Laura, 

 1.4. 17. 



This species reminds of P. laevigatus but has no hymenial spines. The 

 spores are fulvous, subglobose, 5X4 — 4.5 [^. Owing to the colored spores it 

 must be distinct from P. punctatus which else agrees in the absence of hyme- 

 nial spines. The pores are stratified and about 8 per mm. 



P. rufoflavus B. et C. 



Masatierra: Quebr. Damajuana, 30. 12. 1916. 



According to a note on the envelop the color is orange in the fresh 

 state. In dried condition the color of hymenium is yellow. The cystidia are 

 cylindric or fusiform with or without one or more contractions, slightly thick- 

 walled, about 5 — 9 {X broad, the incrusted upper part about 9—12 [x broad. The 

 spores are very small, about 2X1 [x or according to BOURDOT (in Hymenomy- 

 cetes de France) 2X1.5 — 2 [ji, i — 2-guttulate. — This nice little species is re- 

 ported from several tropical countries. In Europe it grows preferably in mines. 

 The specimens distributed in Rabenhorst's Fungi Europ. No. 2005 under the 

 name P. Byaunii were collected on tubs in the palm-house at Berlin.
