Recently I examined one of the tropical 
and A thins on* s genus 
All species of 
Sept oh as i diun laictm to me ore resupinate , excepting the following 
three, for which HcCfinty proposes the name Rude turn, vis: Rude turn 
r areal is (Lachnoclsdiun, ( sic) ramealis, Berheley); Rudetun fis so¬ 
lo hat uni (Hymenocha.ete (sic) fisso-lobatum, Hennings )Rude tun alatum 
( Sept ob as i diun r one alls, Bres. not Bern.). Rudetun, in the sense of 
McC-inty, is a pile ate Sept oh as i diun and the genus has lust as much 
validity as Eueronartium v/hich is a pistillate Septobasidiun, or 
irenellodendron which is a clavate Sebaeina, or Lloydiella Yzhich is 
a pileate Peniophora. 
SEP T 0 B AS IDIUM ALATUM, PROM E . D. MERRILL, PHILIPPINES (Rig. 
1538).- Largely resupinate with pile ate margin* Color darh broom. 
Surface of pile us corrugate with appro ssed fibrils. Hynenium soft, 
papillate, in color and appearance lihe that of Thelephora terrestris 
Hyphae “pillars" none. Basidia hyaline, cylindrical, septate, curved 
Spores not seen. This species is based cn McGregor 20385, misrDe¬ 
ferred to Septobasidiun rameale, of which it has hardly a suggestion. 
The general appearance of the plant is much lihe that of the common 
Stereun tabacinum. It appears to be rare in the Philippines, and 
is hnoral from but one collection.

S2PT0BASIDIUM RAMEALIS (Rig. 1539).- Resupinate 
out dense hydnoid processes. Color &arh brown with a purplish tinge. 
This grovrs over the stems and leaves of plants and is only hnown to 
me from the type at Kew which was from Ceylon.

It was named by Berheley as Laclinocladium

SEPT03ASIDIUU FIS SO-L OBATTJM (P3g. 1540 ).- Pileus thich, 
coriaceous, flabellate, radiate-striate, cut into lobes. Color darh 
cinnamon—brown. This forms irregular, confluent masses on the living 
stems in Brasil* It was collected by Ule and referred to Hymenochaete 
(doubtful) by Hennings who apparently mistooh the basidia for setae. 
I never examined it but do not question its genus. Hhile only blown
