SCLERODEPSIS. 
By M. C. Cooke. 
There are a few species hitherto included under the genus 
Trametes which are only there by sufferance, and do not accord 
with the character of that genus as now understood. For these 
we have proposed a new location under the generic name which one 
of its finest species has borne as its specific designation, as 
follows : — 
SCLERODEPSIS, G-en. nov. 
Pileus flattened, usually scutate at the base, hard, woody, thin ; 
margin acute ; substance of pileus thin, continuous with the 
hymenium ; pores large, rounded or angular, sometimes confluent 
and elongated, not stratose, edge acute, sometimes dentate. 
= Trametes , in part. 
To this genus belongs — 
Sclezodepsis colliculosa (BerJc.). 
= Trametes colliculosa, Sacc. Syll. 6237. 
Sclezodepsis Bezkeleyi, Cooke. 
— Trametes sclerodepsis, Berk ., Sacc. Syll. 6209. 
Sclezodepsis lobata (Berk.). 
= Trametes lobata, Berk., Sacc. Syll, 6208. 
Sclezodepsis Beyzichii (Fries). 
= Trametes Beyrichii, Fries., Sacc. Syll. 6201. 
The principal features in which the species composing this genus 
recede from Trametes consist in the acute edge of the pileus, the 
acute dissepiments of the pores (not thick and rounded), which 
are sometimes dentate, characters incompatible with Trametes, in 
which we conceive an important characteristic to be “ pores obtuse, 
entire.”
