﻿224 BERKELEY AND CURTIS'S COMMENTARY 



726. T. amphibolia, Fr. 



727. T. EPIDERMEA, P. 



The following should be added to No. 374 : — 



There is in the Hookerian Herbarium a species from Schweinitz marked Sistotrema 

 velutinum, and we have the same from Prof. Torrey's collection of Schweinitzian Fungi 

 marked Polyporus velutinus, which is probably the plant intended under No. 374. It 

 does not, however, accord with numerous authentic specimens from Fries, and we pro- 

 pose for it the name of Pol. Richardsonii, as it occurs in his collections from the higher 

 northern regions of America. 



P. Richardsonii, n. sp. ; pileo reniformi disco tantum affixo, subtiliter depresso- 

 tomentoso ruguloso leviter zonato albido ; poris parvis. 



A few species from Surinam were overlooked in our Exotic Fungi, which are here 

 appended : — 



Cantharellus Spathularia, Schwein. ! MSS. = Guepinia Spathularia, Fr. 



C. Surinamensis, Schwein. ! MSS.= Cladoderris dendritica, P. 



" Schizophyllum rAmosum (novum)," Schwein. MSS.=a multipartite L. commune. 



Clavaria admirabilis, Schwein. ! MSS. is the same as the preceding. 



Polyporus sanguineus, Fr. 



The following very beautiful species was confounded in our Exotic Fungi, No. 4, 

 (Journ. Acad. Nat. Sc, ii. p. 278) with P. modestus, Kze., which, however, is very 

 near to P. qffinis, if the specimen in Weigelt's Exsiccata is rightly named : 



Polyporus cervino-nitens, Schwein. ! MSS. pileo flabelliformi tenui radiato-rugoso 

 plicatove ligneo-coriaceo sublobato cervino-fulvo zonis crebris obscurioribus sericeo- 

 striato ; hymenio contextuque subconcoloribus dilutioribus ; poris minimis. Surinam. 



Pileus fiabelliform, 2 inches high, above 2 inches broad, thin, of a hard coriaceous 

 substance, slightly lobed, attenuated behind into an obscure stem, radiato-rugose or 

 plicate, sericeo-striate, of a bright tawny fawn-color, approaching to brick-red, with 

 narrow darker zones, margin very thin. Substance and the bordered hymenium paler, 

 pores punctiform, very minute. 



The following should be inserted in its place, No. 408 : — 



408. P. microporus. Florida. Gathered by Le Conte. The same species was sent 

 to Sir W. J. Hooker under the name of P. Floridanus. The pores are superficial and 

 punctiform, and the whole plant resembles strongly such productions as P. byrsinus, 

 Mont., which is, we believe, only a state of P. occidentals, Kl.
