and there forming linear or curved sinuses. Sometimes the stem is 

 accidentally elongated. Resembling somewhat, Dcedalea ambigua, 

 and certain states of Lenzites repanda, but distinct from either. I am 

 obliged to alter the name, as while my paper was in the press, M. 

 Leveille published a species under the name of Trametes incana. 



Djedalea ambigua, Berk. — On dead trunks. Cincinnati. 



Pileo suberoso, crasso, convexo, azonato, dealbato, glabro: hymenio, 

 subalutaceo; poris parvis simuosis, acie obtusa. — Berk, in Hook. Lond. 

 Journ., vol. iv., p. 305. 



Fileus sessile dimidiate, six inches broad, three inches long, one and 

 a half inches thick, venose, zoneless, opaque white, as if whitewashed, 

 smooth, or most minutely pubescent, in the younger parts onlj- of a 

 hard corky texture; white within, margin at first very obtuse; hyme- 

 nium rather concave; of a pale tan color, pores small, narrow, sinuated 

 moderateh* deep; dissepiments obtuse. 



Other specimens gathered at Waynesville, Aug. 8, 1844, after the 

 above characters were published, approach nearer to Lenzites repanda 

 and L. applanata, combining the characters of both. They are flat 

 and thinner, with the pores less sinuous, and in one specimen not alto- 

 gether unlike those of L. applanata. The species is, however, more 

 nearh* allied to L. repanda. Even in the thinnest specimens, the mar- 

 gin is not acute as in that species. 



Dcedalea unicolor, Fr. — Under side of a rotten log. Waynesville, 

 Aug. 28, 1844.* 



D.edalea pallido-fdlva, n. sp. — On a dead log in a log-fence. 

 Cincinnati, March 19, 1842. 



Coriaceo-suberosa, pileo dimidiato, subnitido, azono, pallido; hyme- 

 nio pallido-fulvo, poris angustis, parce sinuosis rectis. 



Pileus one and a half inches long, three inches or more broad; stem 

 less dimidiate, even or rather rugged, zoneless, rather shining, at first 

 most minutely pubescent; substance hard, wood colored; lrymenium 

 pale, tawny; pores mostly straight, one sixtieth of an inch broad. A 

 very distinct species, just intermediate between Dcedalea and Lenzites. 



Djedalea sepium, u. sp. — On dry fence rails. Waynesville, Sept. 

 9, 1844. 



* A resupinate form, differing from the ordinary state in its paler hyineniuni.
