4. PoLYPORUS MODESTUS, Kzc. in Weigclt exs. P. cervino-nitens, Schwein. MSS. 

 On dead wood; Surinam. 



5. PoLYPORUS D^DALEA, Schwein. MSS. Pileo subflabelliformi lobato tenui coriaceo subsericeo, lineis 



elevatis notato; acie acutissima; poris irregularibus, dissepimentis tenuibus flaccidis, acie dentata. 



On dead wood ; Surinam. 



About three-quarters of an inch long; pileussubflabelliform. lobed, thin, coriaceous, 

 clothed sparingly with sericeous pubescence and marked with fine raised lines, wood 

 colored, obscurely zoned ; hymenium inclining to umber ; pores irregular, more or 

 less angular, shallow in front, deep behind ; dissepiments thin, flexible ; edge very 

 thin, toothed. 



This species has much the appearance of P. Floridanus, Berk. ; but the dissepi- 

 ments are not rigid, and there is no tendency to the peculiar purplish tint exhibited 

 by that species.

8. Phlebia tremelloides, B. and C. Vinoso-ferruginea, flabelliformis, fissa et lobata, supra pallidior 



subtiliter implexo-tomentosa ; hymenio laeviusculo. Auricularia tremelloides, Schwein. MSS. 



On dead wood ; Surinam. 



One inch or more long, of a rich vinous brown, flabelliform, deeply split, the 

 divisions lobed and crenate ; paler above and more inclined to tawny, clothed with 

 matted pubescence. Hymenium nearly even. 



Agreeing in texture with P. radiata, but a very difterent species, and apparently 

 free, or very easily separated from the matrix. It has very much the habit of such 

 Algae as Ralfsia adusta. 



9. Thelephora diaphana, Schwein. MSS. Pileo infundibuliformi pallido diaphano striate; stipite 



gracili ; hymenio albido. 



On the ground ; Gnadenhutte. 



P ileus with the stem, which is about equal to it, one and a quarter inches high, 

 deeply infundibuliform, with the margin reflected, pale diaphanous striated. Stem 

 cylindrical, clothed with white matted down ; hymenium dirty white, with a slight 

 rufous tinge, nearly even. This species has the habit of T. aurantiaca, P., but is less 

 elegant.
