FAVOLUS AND LASCHIA. 
By M. C. Cooke. 
Favolus subgelatinosus, BerJc. in Kerb. 3152. 
Pileo carnoso-membranaceo, flabelliformi (3x2 c.m.), albido, 
glabro, laevi, ambitu sublobato, postice in spititem brevem attenuato; 
alveolis stipatis, arctissimis, radiatis, acie denticulatis, sporis albis. 
On trunks. (No locality.) 
A true Favolus , without any suggestion of the reason for the 
application of the name subgelatinosus. 
Laschia decurrens (Favolus decurrens, B. 8f. C. in Kerb.) 
Pileo orbiculari, pallidi (1 c.m. lat.), ad marginem in stipitem 
equilongam producto ; poris paucis, magnis, hexagonis ; dissepi- 
mentis crassis, obtusis, in stipitem decurrentibus. 
On wood. Venezuela. 
Laschia viridula (Favolus viridnlus, B. C. in Kerb.) 
fetipitata. Pileo orbiculari (1 c.m. lat.), glabro, tenui, fuli- 
gineo; stipite centrali (1 c.m. et ultra long), concolori; poris 
angulosis, venis radiantibus, anastomosantibus efform antibus. 
Hymenio subcseruleo-viridi. 
On wood. Venezuela. 
Laschia flabellula (Favolus flabellulum, B. Sf C. in Kerb.) 
Ochraceo. Pileo membranaceo, spathulato Yel flabelliformi, minuto 
(3-5 m.m. long), postice in stipitem brevem attenuato, glabro, leevi. 
Hymenio concolori, alveolos angulosos inaequale composito. 
On wood. Venezuela. 
Laschia lurida, Cesati in Mycet. Born, 
Omitted from Saccardo Sylloge. 
If it is possible to maintain Glceoporus as a distinct genus, some 
species of Polyporus , with a soft, suhgelatinous hymenium, should 
be transferred to it. In addition, Berkeley has an Indian species 
of which we find no diagnosis. 
Glseoporus corrugatus, BerTc. in Kerb. 3018. 
Pileo conchiformi, carnoso-leuto (1 unc. lat.), reticulato-rugoso, 
glabro, rufo-fusco, sicco corneo, obscuriore. Hymenio pallidiori ; 
poris curtis, stipatis, rotundatis, minutis, ad marginem sterilis, 
initio gelatinosis.
