﻿212 BERKELEY AND CURTIS'S COMMENTARY 



425. P. nitidus, Fr. We have two species under this name, — one from Schweinitz' 

 earlier collections, which appears to be a state of his P. nigropurpurascens, and the 

 other with long pores, very different from an authentic specimen now before us, 

 This was formerly called P. croceus by Schweinitz, but that name is preoccupied. 

 We beg to substitute 



P. crociporus, n. sp.; — totus resupinatus; poris minutis longis tenuibus, extus 

 intusque croceo-fulvis, mycelio pallido molli oriundis. 



The pores are just the color of dried saffron, and have somewhat the same appear- 

 ance as those of P. spissus. The mycelium is pale, thin, of a rather soft texture and 

 confluent with the matrix. 



426. P. pulchellus, Schwein. The same with P. xanthus, Schwein.! Herb. As 

 P. pulchellus was formerly called P. xanthus by Schweinitz, it is possible that we 

 have not got what he ultimately intended by that name, and which may therefore 

 be the true plant. 



428. P. incarnatus, Fr. The young state of some Glceoporus. 



430. P. rhodellus, Fr. Not the true plant of Fries, as appears from an authentic 

 specimen. It looks like an early stage of P. spissus, Schwein. ! in Hook. Herb. 



431. P. unitus, Fr. The Schweinitzian specimens are precisely the same with 

 No. 418. 



432. P. vitellinus, Fr, 



434. P. sinuosus, Fr. We have no authentic specimens of this species. 



435. P. xantholoma, Schwein. ! Very distinct. 



436. P. rhododendri, Schwein. ! Very like P. Stephensii, Berk., which has been 

 found on Taxodium by Mr. Kavenel. This differs in its thinner dissepiments and 

 obscure tint. 



437. P. sassafras, Schwein. ! Schweinitz describes this in his Herbarium as 

 having " pori majusculi," which agrees with the specimen; whereas the printed 

 character says " poris minutis." It is probably a distinct species. 



438. P. superficialis, Schwein.! An authentic specimen from Prof. Torrey's 

 Herbarium has nothing like "poris latiusculis," and we believe is identical with 

 No. 439. 



439. P. nigro-purpureus, Schwein. ! 



440. P. cinereus, Schwein. ! The specimens of this, as of some others among the 

 omitted numbers, are destroyed.
