Abortiporus Murrill n. g. Polyporaceae. Bulletin of the 
Torrey Botanical Club, 311421. Aug. 1904. 
“Hymenophore annual, tough, humus-loving; stipe normally 
central, often obsolete; context yellowish-white, duplex, spongy 
above, woody below, tubes thin-walled, mouths polygonal; spores 
subglobose, smooth, hyaline. 
“The type of this genus is Boletus distortus Schw. (Syn. 
Fung. Car. 71. 1818), a very variable species found about old 
stumps in various localities in the Eastern United States. The 
name assigned to the genus refers to the usual aborted form of 
the fruit body, in which the tubes with their abundant contents 
appear prematurely before the development of the pileus is 
complete.”

Coltriciella Murrill n. g. Polyporaceae. Bulletin of the 
Torrey Botnical Club, 31:348. June 1904. 
“Hymenophore small, annual, tough, epixylous; stipe at¬ 
tached to the vertex of the pileus; surface of the pileus anoderm, 
zonate; context spongy, fibrous, ferruginous, tubes angular, one¬ 
layered, dissepiments thin; spores ellipsoidal, smooth, ferrugin¬ 
ous. 
“The type of this genus is Polyporus dependens B. & C., a 
very rare plant found thus far only on dead pine logs in South 
Carolina and New Jersey. In some ways it resembles the genus 
Porodiscus, the species of both being small and epixylous with 
vertically attached stipes, but the two genera are very distinct 
as regards more important characters, such as the structure of 
the context and spores. From Coltricia, its nearest ally, the 
present genus differs chiefly in being uniformly epixylous and 
in having a pendant vertically-attached pileus. The name I have 
chosen refers to its general resemblance to Coltricia , this re¬ 
semblance being best seen in Coltricia cinnamomea, which grows 
very frequently on wood in a state of advanced decay. Only one 
species is known.”

Cyclomycetella Murrill n. g. Polyporaceae. Bulletin of 
the Torrey Botanical Club, 311422. Aug. 1904. 
“Hymenophore annual, tough, epixylous, sessile, anoderm, 
zonate; contex thin, fibrous, brown, tubes short, thin-walled, 
mouths polygonal, becoming concentrically elongated in some 
species by the splitting of the radial walls; spores ellipsoidal, 
smooth, ferruginous.
