and growing singly in the ground. Our photograph is the best descrip¬ 
tion. The spores, if correctly seen, are hyaline, globose, 3 mic. 
This little species should be entered in Section 9 of the 
Stipitate Stereums. It is very similar to Stereum unguliforme, 
figured Letter 48, Pig. 569, but a comparison shows they are not the 
same. Besides, if I mistake not the latter grows on wood. Based on 
Burkin* s collection Mo.288. Another collection (Fig. 1758 ) Burkill 
254, we have labeled the same though it is quite doubtful. It is a 
I larger, thicker plant and grows more caespitose. 
THELEPHORA PEMICILLATA PROM MISS A. V. DUTHIE, SOUTH AFRICA 
(Pig. 1759).- Fungus brown, forming a thick, rigid layer ov :r dirt 
and rubbish. Spores angular, globose, about 8 mic., colored, tuber¬ 
cular. The fungus sends up in ridges dense growths of incised, white 
sterile flaps (Fig, 1760 enlarged. ) While these penicillate growths 
are analogous to pilei, they are pure white, sterile and the hymen- 
ium is borne only on the resupinate stratum. We have, at first view 
a very similar species in the United States, Thelephora spiculosa, 
but this is a true pileate species bearing the hymenium on the under 
side of the pileate flaps, quite a different idea from the South 
African plant.

TRICOSCYPHA IMSITITIA (Fig. 1761).- We presented on page 
847 a photograph of a dried specimen and have since found a photo¬ 
graph we-made in Samoa of the fresh plant. We believe it is the 
first published. Trieoscypha insititia resembles closely our common 
Sarcoscypha floccosa but differs in spores (12 X 42 ) and hairs. It 
only occurs in the East, 
DACRYOPSIS PALMATA (Fig. 1762).- We present a figure (dried 
and soaked) of a specimen of this rare species which was distributed 
by Ellis (Mo.1897') as Tremella aurantia. . Tremella aurantia (as 
distributed by Sc-hweinitz ) is now known to be a Dacryomyces, as Ellis 
should have known had he investigated the structure of tremellacoous 
plants. This collection, while having the same color and structure, 
has a distinct stalk and a separate head, hence must be included in 
Dacryopsis, if that is held as different from Dacryomyces, 
Dacryopsis palmata is a rare soecies. The types in Schwein- 
itz' herbarium and this distribution of Ellis are the only collections 
known to me, and the types are not as characteristic as Ellis' dis¬ 
tribution, but in connection with Schweinitz' description which ans¬ 
wers this plant to a letter, there is no question with me as to its 
identity now. I collected once at Albany, M, Y. a caespitose, branch¬ 
ed plant (Fig. 1763 ) -which I thought when fresh was Schweinitz' 
Tremella palmata, but I recognized it at once when dried as a caespi¬ 
tose condition of the common Guepinia spathularia. As Schweinitz 
compares Tremella palmata to Guepinia spathularia I have had an im¬ 
pression it was in reality the same caespitose condition of the latter 
I had found at Albany, but I am sure now I was mistaken. Dacryopsis 
palmata may be thought to be a stalked form of Dacryopsis aurantia, 
same color, texture and "structure" but I do not believe it. I think 
it is a distinct species but a very rare one.
