Murrill : Light-colored Resupinate Polypores 173 



" Suborbicularis, margine elevato obtuso cinctus ; poris parvis. 

 ''About an inch wide; margin obtuse raised; pores %<> inch 

 wide. Allied apparently to P. bombycimis." 



The type at Kew is 1.2 cm. in diameter and 1-2 mm. thick; 

 margin elevated, whitish-pubescent ; tubes pale-orange-yellow ; 

 context firm. 



79. Poria tegillaris Berk. Grevillea 15: 25. 1886 



Described as follows from specimens in Berkeley's herbarium 

 collected on dead wood in Carolina : 



" Effusa, indeterminate, tenuissima, flavo-fuscescens, substrato 

 obsoleto ; poris aequalibus, rotundatis, minimis, dissepimentis 

 tenuibus. 



" Reduced to a mere porous stratum following the inequalities 

 of the wood." 



Little idea can be gained of this species by seeing the type, and 

 it is a pity that Cooke published Berkeley's name. 



80. Poria chrysobapha (Berk. & Curt.) Cooke, Grevillea 

 14: 113. 1886 



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



Described as follows from specimens collected by Peters in 

 Alabama : 



" Totus resupinatus, immarginatus, aureo-olivaceus ; poris 

 elongatis obliquis ; sporis ferrugineis. No. 6342. Alabama. 

 Peters. 



" Entirely resupinate without any distinct margin ; of a golden 

 yellow, inclining to olive; pores elongated, oblique, % 6 inch wide; 

 spores ferruginous." 



The type at Kew is so very poor, being a mere fragment 2X1 

 cm., that it is difficult to get a true idea of the plant from it ; but 

 the olive-yellow tubes and ferruginous spores should be quite 

 characteristic. Compare a specimen from Ohio so determined by 

 Morgan.
