ON THELEPHORA LYCII. 
97 
species of Corticium found in Europe, and cannot feel satisfied to 
include it with any of them, but to recognise it as Corticium Lycii 
of Persoon, for all the species of Corticium were included by him 
under Thelephora. It is at least the Thelephora Lycii of Des- 
mazieres, for of this authentic specimens place it beyond doubt, 
and it has been found on precisely the same plant. Whether of 
Persoon or Desmazieres the name is the same, and it must be left 
to the conscience of mycologists to determine the rest.
