13. PORIA PULCHELLA (ScllW.) SaCC. Syll. 



Fung. 6 : 323. 1888 



Polyporus pulchellus Schw. Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc. 4: 158. 1832 



' " Rarior Bethlehem, olim xanthus mihi ; cortice increscit. 



" P. resupinato-effusus, superficie inaequali, subplicata, rugosa, 

 ambitu determinatus ; margme undulato tumido, substerili. Poris 

 minutis, regularibus, angustatis, tubus subobliquis in rugis super- 

 ficiei. 



" Totus fungus flavescens, durus, siccus, uncialis." 



Type from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, by Schweinitz, on bark. 

 Well preserved at Philadelphia and Kew. According to Bresa- 

 dola, this is only a variety of Poria medullapanis, but I can hardly 

 concur in his opinion. Specimens so named in Peters' collection 

 from Alabama have much thicker dissepiments. 



14. Poria Caryae (Schw.) Sacc. Syll. 

 Fung. 6: 306. 1888 

 Polyporus Caryae Schw. Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc. 4: 159. 1832. 



" P. junior tuberculoso-elevatus, interruptus, substantia spon- 

 giosa-tomentosa, margine sterili saepe tumido. Demum late 

 effusus, magis aequabilis et subindurescens, margine tunc tenuis- 

 simo, submembranaceo, candido, praeditus. Tubis brevibus, 

 parietibus crassiusculis, poris minoribus subrotundis et sub- 

 flexuosis ; interdum regulariter effusis, interdum pulvinatim in 

 tuberculos elevatis. Ex fuliginis cinerascit. Ad pedalem longi- 

 tudinem sub trunco effusus." 



Described from specimens collected by Schweinitz at Nazareth, 

 Pennsylvania, on a fallen hickory log. Types are well preserved 

 at Philadelphia and Kew. 



15. Poria Beaumontii Berk. & Curt.; Cooke, 

 Grevillea 15: 26. 1886 



Effusa, adnata, crassiuscula, ochraceo-pallida, margine an- 

 gusto subtomentoso, poris majusculis, subaequalibus, rotundo- 

 angulatis, dissepimentis acie acutis, integris." 



Type from Alabama, by Beaumont, on wood. The type sheet 

 at Kew contains two collections from Alabama by Beaumont. 

 Our No. 42Q is Coriolopsis rigida, different from that sent to 

 Kew. Compare P. omoema.
