REVISION OF THE Хоктн AMERICAN HYDNACEAE 198 
Нав.: Опа decaying stump of some hard wood, between the 
bark and wood. Oct. 
RANGE: Pennsylvania, Banker. 
The plant closely resembles specimens of М. croceum Schw. 
but differs in the whitish margin, the more flattened, and whitish 
fimbriate tips of many of the teeth, and particularly in the size and 
form of the spores. 
7. Hericium fasciculare (Alb. & Schw.) 
Hydnum fasciculare Albertini & Schweinitz, Consp. Fung. 269. 
pl. 10. f. 9. 1805. 
Plant with little or no subiculum, whitish becoming reddish in 
drying ; teeth fasciculate, pendent, often united at base and more 
or less confluent in groups of three or four ; fascicles consisting of 
4—12 teeth ; teeth terete, slender, tapering, acute, 0.5-1.5 cm. long, 
center of tooth darker than surface. 
Has. : On decayed pine and fir trunks. 
RANGE: Pennsylvania, Schweinitz. 
Schweinitz in his description says ''albidus pallens, sed пе 
tantillum quidem rufescens." But the specimen in the Philadel- 
phia Academy of Sciences shows in its dried state a reddish color. 
The plant has also been reported from South Carolina, Ravenel ; 
Alabama, Peters ; North Carolina, Curtis. These I have not seen. 
SPECIES INQUIRENDAE VEL EXCLUDENDAE 
Hydnum ramaria Fr. has been reported from California Hark- 
ness, but I have seen no specimens. 
Hydnum ramosum Schw. was described originally by Schweinitz 
in Syn. Fung. Car. Sup. 78. 1818. Іп his later work, Syn. N. 
Am. Fung. 162, he remarks, “ Also observed at Bethlehem, but 
does not vary much from the former ” (2. e., М. coralloides). Мо 
specimen has been preserved in the Schweinitz herbarium, the plant 
has never been reported by any one else, and finally the name itself 
is preoccupied by H. ramosum Bull. The species may, therefore, 
be wholly discarded.
