Report of the State Botanist. 109 



The color of the fresh plant is a beautiful orange, but it fades in 

 drying so that it may not inaptly be called brick red. The 

 hy menial warts or protuberances are sometimes arranged in lines 

 or series. In drying, the surface becomes more or less cliinky so 

 that the protuberances appear to be collected in fascicles. 



Thelephora subocliracea n. sp. 



Resupinate, incrusting, running over fallen leaves and twigs 

 and forming suborbicular patches one to three inches broad, thin, 

 tough, dry, pale-ochraceous, sometimes with a slight whitish 

 byssine border. 



Woods. Shokan. September. 



The specimens have the appearance of some species of Cor- 

 ticium but the dry touo^h texture indicates a closer relation to 

 Thelephora. They are scarcely in perfect condition. 



Corticium Kalmiae n. s]?. 



Effused, thin, tender, inseparable from the matrix; subiculum 

 and indeterminate margin composed of slender whitish filaments ; 

 hymenium glabrous, continuous, yellowish-ochraceous ; spores 

 smooth, elliptical, .OOOi to .0005 in. long, .00024 to .0003 broad. 



Dead stems of mountain laurel, Kalmia latifolia. 



Shokan. September. 



This is apparently related to such species as C. degluhens and 

 C. secedens^ but differing from both of these in its inseparable 

 character. 



Exobasidium Vaccinii War. 



Living leaves of bearberry, A/^ctostaj/hylos Uva-iirsi. River- 

 head. July. 



Tylo stoma mammosuin Fr. 

 Sandy soil. Delmar. October. A rare species. 



Tylostoma campestre 3Iorg. 

 Sandv soil. West Albany. November. 



Lycoperdon hirtum Mart 

 Brewerton and Catskill mountains. This was formerly 

 included by me with Z. atropurjpxtreum^ from which it scarcely 

 differs except in its depressed peridium and cord-like root.
