THELEPIiORA GEL AT I NO IDEA, PROM G. II. CAVE, INDIA (Pig. 1546).- 
It would be the simplest matter in the world to mahe a new genus 
of this, perhaps the best, but wo dislihe to multiply the genera. 
It^is a Thelephora excepting its context is gelatinous. Questions 
arise nowadays in considering the host of tropical plants that come 
in of which Pries.Anew nothing. The genus Thelephora, as hnown 
today, at least in the temperate regions, is a very consistent genus 
with fleshy, cartilaginous texture and colored, angular or tubercular 
spores. This agrees excepting that it has gelatinous texture and 
permanent granules on the hymenium. Another species, Thelephora 
papillosa of Japan has permanent granules and European species 
have granules on the growing hymenium. But this plant could be put 
in Hydnaceae with as good reason as Grandinia is so classed. Per¬ 
haps the best way is to call it a '-’new genus *' an :d Professor McGinty 
designates it as Pseudothelephora gelatinesa. 
Pileus sessile, thin, fuliginous, zoned with appressed 
fibrils. To the eye the upper surface of the pileus is the same 
as Polystictus Priesii. Context thin gelatinous, pale when moist 
but consisting of hyaline hyphae of the usual gelatinous type. 
Hymenium fuliginous, very dart: when moist, densely covered with ob¬ 
tuse granules which are permanent when dried. Basidia cylindrical, 
hyaline, 6 x 50. spores irregularly angular, globose, about 6-7 
mic. The spores are typically those of Thelephora and the dried 
plant has the general appearance and habits of the usual Thelephora 
excepting its granular hymenium. It grew on the ground. Whether 
it would simplify matters to call it a new genus or to include it 
in Thelephora is the question. 
LACHNOCLADIUM CRISTATUM, PROM MISS A. V. DUfHIE, SOUTH 
AFRICA (Pig. 1547).- Stems branched from the base and cristated at 
the summit. Surface.pubescent to the eye, Texture rough«, Color 
pale, ochraceous. Hairs under the microscope hyaline, sharp, smooth 
projecting about 20 mic. Spores abundant hyaline, subglobose but 
irregular, 3-4 mic. I have compared all my photographs of Lachno- 
cladium and find none to correspond but of course it may have a 
name as a Clavaria. 
POLYSTICTUS' STRIATULUS, PROM E. D. MERRILL, PHILIPPINES (Pig. 
1540).- Pileus sub-reniform with a short, concolorous stipe. Sur¬ 
face dor.’: reddish brown, glabrous, nen-zonate, strongly radiate with 
raised striations.
