NOTE 847 STEREUM SCHOMBURGKII PROM G. H. CUNNINGHAM, NEW 
ZEALAND: Investigations concerning this have raised the question if 
it is really different from Stereum mernbranaceum. The microscopic 
features of both, "colored metuloids" are the same and the main dif¬ 
ference is the color of the hymenium, umber in the former, violaceus 
in the latter, I collected Stereum mernbranaceum in abundance in Cuba 
and a prominent feature was the violaceus color of the hymenium, but 
in going over the specimens now after some years there is very little 
violaceus color left. Stereum mernbranaceum has been generally known 
as Stereum papyrinum, and we call it the former, following Bresadola. 
But whether he bases it on a specimen or on Pries' description I do 
not know. At any rate the specimen so labeled in Montagne's herba¬ 
rium (who named the latter and later ) is surely the same. 
NOTE 848 - XYLARIA APICULATA' FROM G. H. CUNNINGHAM, NEW 
ZEALAND: The New Zealand plant is not the same as the Brazilian in 
all respects. It is the same as to size, shape and spores, but it 
is a blacker plant and the surface is not at all cracked. Spores are 
8 X 24. 
DAVIS SIMON MASSACHUSETTS: Lycooerdon pusillum - Polyporus 
brumalis. 
DEMETRIO, C. H., MISSOURI: GEASTER CAESPITOSUS - Spumria 
alba - Hypoxylon coccineum - Lenzites trabea - Lycogala Epidendrum - 
Polyporus rutilans - Guepinia spathularia. 
NOTE 849 - GEASTER CAESPITOSUS PROM C, H, DEMETRIO, MISSOURI: 
As a variety of Geaster velutinus (Cf r. Geastrae, p. 36, fig. 72). 
It merits a separate name from velutinus for it is only about half the 
size and of much darker color. It is rare, this being, I believe, 
the second collection. 
DUTHIE, MISS A. V., SOUTH AFRICA: Polyporus gilvus - Sclero¬ 
derma cepa - ARACHNION ALBUM - Lycoperdon oblongiosporum - Kalchbren- 
nera corallocephalus - Hypoxylon multiforme - Hypocrea citrina - 
Phallus gracilis - Geaster saccatus - Cyathus microsporus - Tylostoma 
eyeloohorum - EXIDIA DUTHIEI - PHALLUS RUGULOSUS - LACHN0CLADIUM 
CRISTATUM - Rhizopogon rubescens - CATASTOMA PEDICELLATUM - PHELLORINA 
INQJJINANS - CATASTOMA DUTHIE I - MUTINUS SIMPLEX - Polyporus adustus - 
Polystictus versicolor - Polystictus zonatus - Polystictus ochraceus - 
Thelephora terrestris - Lenzites trabea - Scleroderma flavida - Poly-* 
stictus occidentalis - THELEPHORA PENICILLATA - Stereum cyphelloides - 
Lanooila Wahlbergii - PROTUBERA APRICANA - HORMOMYCES AURANTIACUS - 
CYTIDIA SIMULANS - Polyporus (Gan. ) Curtisii - TREMELLA MICROSPORA - 
ARACHNION SCLERODERMA. 
NOTE 850 - PHALLUS RUGULOSUS FROM MISS A. V, DUTHIE, SOUTH 
AFRICA: This was named from alcoholic material and the recorded colors 
are not sure. Miss Duthie sends a colored sketch and her plant has 
a pink volva and a yellow stem. It is a question if it is really 
distinct from Phallus rubicundus which has a red stem. Colors are 
variable factors in phalloids. This plant, however, as shown by speci¬ 
men in alcohol, has slight reticulations on the pileus. The pileus of 
Phallus rub- icundus is supposed to be even and is in specimens we have.
