NOTE 1023 - THELEPHORA TERRESTRIS FROM W. A. SCARRE, NEW 
ZEALAND.- We would be justified in proposing a new name for this for 
it is much larger and thicker and more confluent than the European 
plant. But with the same surface and hymenium and general habits we 
feel it is best referred to Thelephora terrestris. It grew with 
numerous pilei confluent, forming a, rosetted cluster, very much the 
habits of our Thelephora vialis. 
DR. CARLOS F. SECORD, COLLECTED IN GUATEMALA.- This shipment 
consisted of three large boxes quite formidable in appearance. When 
opened, however, they proved to be the large and mostly common trop¬ 
ical species. Only one of them required a new name (and that probably 
only as a form) though several were of interest for mention in notes. 
The following is a list of species sent = by Dr. Secord.- 
TRAMETES GUATEMALENSIS - HYPOCREA LENTA - HEXAGONA POLYGRAMMA - FOMES 
PSEUDOSENEX - POLYPORUS RUFESCENS - Fomes applanatus - POLYPORUS 
HONDURENSIS - TRAMETES FLOCCOSA - Fomes leucophaeus - Fomes oroflavus- 
Polystictus hirsutus - Polystictus rigens - Hypomyces purpureus - 
Polyporus supinus - Auricularia mesenterica - Lenzites repanda - Fomes 
applanatus - Trametes cubensis - Polyporus gilvus - Lentinus lepideus - 
Polyporus lignosus - Trametes hydnoides - Polyporus Overstedii - Poly¬ 
stictus maximus - Polyporus dichrous - Polystictus occidentalis 
The following eight notes are all based on Dr, Secord's collections 
in Guatemala: 
NOTE 1024 - TRAMETES GUATEMALENSIS.- Growing on logs, 4-6 
inches in diameter in diameter, 6-8 wide, l/2 cm. thick, white with 
adustus pores. Surface smooth, dull, rugulose, Context thin, white 
rigid. Pores small, rigid, uneven, pale adustus color. Cystidia none, 
or if present hardly distinguishable from the basidia. Spores globose, 
hyaline, smooth, 3 mic. (if correctly seen). In general appearance 
(excepting the hymenium) this is very much the same as the common 
Lenzites repanda. It is the same shape, color, thickness and surface, 
reduced at the base in the same manner. It is a question whether it 
is a thick Polystictus or a thin Trametes. 1 believe that it is only 
a variation of Lenzites repanda although the hymenium is so different 
and it is the first time I have noted it. 
NOTE 1025 - HYPOCREA LENTA.- Growing on underside of Fomes 
applanatus but same as usual on wood, I find no previous record of 
it on a fungus though other species occur on fungi. In this connec¬ 
tion Hypocrea fungicolor is Hypocrea citrina for me now. Hypocrea 
Stereorum, of which a fairly good specimen is in Schweinitz's herbar¬ 
ium, is a good species I think but not included in Beaver’s paper. It 
grew on a Stereum. 
NOTE 1026 - HEXAGONA POLYGRAMMA,- The question whether this 
is the same as Hexagona tenuis is not decided. It only differs in 
larger pores. 
NOTE 1027 - FOMES PSEUDOSENEX.- As explained in detail in our 
Fomes pamphlet this has nothing in common with Fomes senex excepting 
confusion with it. This is a fine specimen. The surface is tuber¬ 
cular, rough, similar to Fomes torulosus in Europe. Spores are 
globose, deed colored and measure about 5 mic. rather than four as we 
recorded them.
