to that I can not say. No figure was given of the plant but it is 
the only one named from the East and while we have not seen the 
original we have no doubt it is correct. This genus was called 
Wynnea by Berkeley and changed in Saccardo on an old Friesian record 
to Midotis, Whether that was right or not I do not know but I 
question it for I doubt if Saccardo knew any more about the original 
Friesian species of Midotis than I, but the probabilities are that 
it is not Wynnea. When soaked the plant has a general resemblance 
to Berkeley's figure of Wynnea gigantea from Mexico and the color 
of Wynnea macrotis as shown by Cooke. This specimen is young and 
the spores evidently not mature. Asci are large, hyaline and abun¬ 
dant, paraphyses a,re filiform, hyaline, slightly thickened above 
and mostly one septate. The probabiliti.es are that it is wynnea 
macrotis which Berkeley records from India. 
WYNNEA AMERICANA FROM BTJRTT LSEPER, OHIO (Fig. 1701).- In 
connection with the preceding plant we present a figure of the rare 
American species which was named as above. The photographs show 
but little difference and we rather suspect they are both about the 
same thing. We use the name Wynnea, proposed by Berkeley, and not 
the name Midotis as found in Saccardo. While we do not know as to 
its merits we suspect the substitution of Midotis for Wynnea in 
Saccardo is very much of a juggle. 
Wynnea Americana is said to have a sclerotium. I trust 
Mr. Leeper when he finds it again will dig it up. It is the only 
Discomycete supposed to have a large sclerotium. 
CANTHARELLUS MULTIPLEX FROM L, RODWAY, TASMANIA (Fig. 17 02 ).- 
This originally came and is only known from Mr. Rodway •s collections 
in Tasmania, The Australian and New Zealand collectors; have not 
found it as yet and it has never been collected elsewhere. It was 
published as Craterellus but the veined hymenium would put it in 
Cantharellus if Cantharellus is to be maintained. However, there 
are other plants like this that are intermediate, Mr. Rodway ! s 
specimens to me have evidently veined hymenium, but the specimen 
preserved at Kew has a peculiar "blistered 1 ' appearance. I made a 
photograph of it enlarged (Fig,1703) and thought it would some day 
be the type of a "new genus". The fibrils shown on the figure are 
cotton threads and have no connection with it. Cantharellus multi¬ 
plex is a yellow plant. Spores are globose, 3-J-4, hyaline. It is 
peculiar in itself as no similar "multiplex" species is known. 
Underwood named a Cantharellus multiplex from Maine, but the figure 
he gives has no resemblance to this plant and he questions if it 
belongs to the genus. 
ECHINODIA THEQBROMAE FROM T, F. CHIPP, SINGAPORE (Fig.1704), 
W/e are glad to geb nice specimens from Mr. Chipp of this plant for 
we had not seen it before. It was recently named by Patouillard 
who considered it a derivative from some Polyporus, taking a stilboid 
form, and analogous to Ptychogaster. Mr, Chipp’s specimens sent 
to us are further advanced and the pores are well formed and we 
think it will prove to be a preliminary, conidial condition of a 
Polyporus rather than an anomalous condition. Many otner fungi 
such as Pyrenomycetes, tremellaoeous genera, etc. habitually have 
preliminary, conidial forms. Why not (rarely) a Polyporus? At any
