This little plant has the general aspect of being a small 
specimen cf Polystictus nigropus and until sectioned was so taken 
by me. It belongs to Section 4+++ of my Stipitate Stereum pamphlet 
but does not suggest Stereum Mellisii, the only other species in 
that section. 
LENZITES CLELANDII, FROM DR* J. BURT OH CLELAND, HEP SOUTH 
'TALES (Fig. 1555)■ This is the same as to content color and gills 
as Lensites abietinus, but the surface is pale, almost white, cf a 
different color than the context and it tales darh zones in areas 
where this pale surface layer is not developed. The upper view 
is the sane as Polystictus Friesii. Dr. Gleiand sent two collections 
One figure is evidently normal, the other has the surface develop¬ 
ing hydnoid processes. He never saw another Lenzites where the con¬ 
text color and surface layer were net uniform. 
POLYSTICTUS SUBCROCATUS, FROM OTTO A. RE INK ID Or, PHILIPPINES 
(Pig. 1556).- In my work (MS.) on the Philippine Polypores I re¬ 
ferred this as a synonym for Polystictus byrsinus* I am convinced 
on comparison of this specimen it was an error. It is very close 
but slightly different. The surface is paler and not “puffed" as 
in the American species. The pores are not as minute. Spores are 
5 1/3 X 8, cylindrical, straight. Some of the Philippine collectio: 
(Merrill 5694) have a slightly puffed surface but this specimen doe 
not. It is very close to our American plant but I thinh now suf- 
ficiently distinct. 
POLYPORUS INTACTILIS, PROM T. HUNTER, HEST AFRICA (Fig. 
1557).- He received this plant several years ago from Congo Beige 
and it was referred with doubt to Polyp orus auriculariformis. He 
do not Know whether that is correct or not. The old type at Leiden 
from Java is an abnormal specimen which may be this plant and 
probably is not (Cfr. Letter 56). At any rate if it is this plant 
it is misnamed, misdescribed and misreferred in Saccardo to Poria 
(sic). 
These are fine specimens. It is a plant of the gilvus al¬ 
liance that may be described in a few words as of same texture, 
color and thickness as Polyp orus licnoid.es, with a finely velutmate 
surface, an unusual feature in this group of plants. The pores are 
impa.lpa.bly fine and are not visible * 
yO my 
even with a hand 
glass. The mouth of the pores is soft to the touch. It is quite 
close to Polyporus velutinosus as to color and pores.
