The types are well preserved at Albany, and Overholts has 

 found the spores to be cylindric or allantoid, hyaline, 3-5 X 1-2 fi ; 

 cystidia none. 



76. Porta leucolomea (Lev.) Cooke, Grevillea 14: 112. 1886 



Poly poms leucolomeus Lev. Ann. Sci. Nat. III. 5: 140. 1846. 



Described as follows from specimens collected by Menand at 

 New York City, probably on red cedar : 



" Pileo tenui resupinato undique adnato, margine albo tomen- 

 toso sterili, poris mediis superficialibus angulatis ore lacerato- 

 dentatis ochraceo-fulvis. 



'"Chapeau large de 2 a 4 centimetres, membraneux, adherent 

 par tons ses points. Cette espece se distinguera facilement a ses 

 pores, qui sont d'un jaune fauve, ainsi que par sa marge blanche, 

 tomenteuse et sterile." 



This species was not found at Kew, and my notes made at 

 Paris contain no mention of it. The description is inadequate 

 without a look at the type. Compare Poria subinearnata, 



77. Poria vitellina (Schw.) Cooke, Grevillea 14: no. 1886 



Boletus vitellinus Sehw. Schr. Nat. Ges. Leipzig 1 : 100. 1822. 



Described as follows from specimens collected by Schweinitz 

 on dead wood in North Carolina : 



"Subexpansa molliuscula, margine byssino, poris magnis ele- 

 vatis opacioribus. 



" Rarus fungus in fissuris lignorum, maxime putridorum, ni- 

 dulat. Color pulcherrime vitellinus, post exsiccationem remanet, 

 Pori molles." 



Several different plants have been determined as this species 

 by Morgan, Ellis, and others, but I have seen none so named that 

 appear to match the very fragmentary types at Kew. If the 

 species were white, I should place it near Poria incerta. 



78. Poria aurantiopallens (Berk. & Curt.) Cooke, Grevillea 



14: 112. 1886 



Polyporus aurantiopallens Berk. & Curt. Grevillea 1 : 53. 1872. 



Described as follows from specimens collected on pine in South 

 Carolina :
