152 REVISION OF THE Ховтн AMERICAN HyDNACEAE 
The Ellis plants found in №. Am. Fung. 928, do not appear - 
to be typical specimens differing chiefly in color and character of 
tomentum but are referred here for the present. They do not 
give any odor in the dried state whereas the odor of the other 
specimens quoted is very persistent. 
Secretan claimed his species to be the same as Hydnum ferru- 
gineum Fries, but his description does not seem to correspond well 
either with Fries’ description or figure, while the plants above 
described correspond to Secretan’s description in nearly all char- 
acters. These plants have usually been referred to Hydnum 
ferrugineum Fries (see next species).
