“Fruiting body clavate, stipitate, traversed by a firm sub- 
gelatinous axil columella. Continuous with the stipe. Stipe 
firm, erect with naked base. Peridium simple, continuous with the 
stipe below and with the columella at the apex, more or less 
evanescent-indehiscent. Gleba persistent. Tramal plates ex¬ 
tending from the columella toward the peridium. Basidia clavate, 
in groups, 4-spored, spores simple, borne on well-developed 
sterigmata.”

Mycology, 8:106. Oct. 1902. 
“In studying the structure oiThelephora Candida (Schw.) 
Fr., and T. pallida Schw., a little more than a year ago, I was 
surprised to find that they are not members of th eThelephoraceae, 
but belong to th ^Tremellineae, on account of the globose, cru- 
ciately divided basidia. They differ quite markedly from any of 
che described genera of the Tremellineae, but approach nearest 
(especially T. Candida), perhaps, to Sebacina Tul. In Sebacina 
Tub, however, the plants are effuse and incrusting, only rising 
from the substratum in an irregular manner, or when encrust¬ 
ing erect objects, as grasses, herbs, sticks, etc. T. Candida 
(Schw.) normally grow erect from the substratum and have a 
characteristic, more or less dendroid branching. They repre¬ 
sent the type of a new genus for which I propose the name 
Tremellodendron Atkinson n. g., with Tremellodendron candidum 
(Merisma Candida Schw.) and Tremellodendron schweinitzii 
(Thelephora schweinitzii Pk., T. pallida Schw., not T. pallida 
Pers.) as representative species, at least in part), for it appears 
that there are true Thelephorae which are nearly or quite impossi-
