have enough material to examine for I have an idea that the "truncat¬ 
ed apex" which appears to me to be exaggerated in the published 
figure is fertile and that the plant is a Clavaria literally. There 
can be no trouble in recognizing it from our published figure for 
it is fleshy, cinnamon-buff and looks just like any other little, 
simple Clavaria. The spores are given as globose, smooth, 3-4 mic.

STEREUM5 WITH SPINY CYSTIDIA 
We have in the United States but one species (published) 
with spiny cystidia, viz: Stereum frustulosum, and it is most abun¬ 
dant. We gave a photograph and account of it on page 696. The 
following is a very similar species of the East. 
STEREUM ANNOSUM (Fig. 1867).- Context hard, Mikado brown 
(Ridgway) faintly stratose to the eye, but numerous narrow strata 
easily seen in a section, Hymenium pale, densely covered with hya¬ 
line, cylindrical, spiny cystidia, projecting 20 mic. 
This was named originally from Ceylon which I believe was 
all Berkeley knew. It came to me from Africa (Fig.1040) which I 
considered continuous Stereum frustulosum (Cfr, Myc. Notes p. 696) 
but Miss Wakefield put me right on it. This African collection seems 
now to me the same exactly as the type. Then I received a pileate 
specimen from the Philippines so determined (McGregor 10548) which 
did not at first appear possible, but on comparison with the micro¬ 
scope I believe now is correct. This pileate specimen has a hard, 
black, sulcate, smooth crust. The context color and microscopic 
features are the same as the type but it is a thicker plant. Our 
figure of the type (1857) shows one pileate specimen though it was 
described and oasses as a resupinate species. 
Our figure, 1858, we believe now is also Stereum annosum 
although when we received it we thought different and proposed to 
call it Stereum pseudannosum. Another comparison however, has 
convinced us it is the same species. It came from Dr. Cleland, Aus¬ 
tralia.
