more correctly referred it to Sow. figure t. 155, he did not change the
name, though there is no reason why Sowerby's original name Thelephora
pannosa (or Stereum, it being a Stereum) should not be used,
surely none based on piiority.
STEREUM THOZETII is known from three specimens at Kew fiom Australia.
Infundibuliform, entire, pale, smooth, even, with a short stalk. It grew in
earth.
STEREUM BURTIANUM (Fig. 537). Mesopodial or pleuropodial.
Pileus pale brown, infundibuliform, lobed or incised, uneven,
with radiating ridges. Sometimes spathulate, glabrous, with striate
margin. Stipe concolorous, smooth. Hymenium concolorous. Cystidia,
none.
This species was named and figured in Peck's 57th Report. But
one collection of the American plant so named is known, which we
have seen in the museum at Albany. I have, however, a collection
from A. Yasuda, Japan, which, on comparison with my notes and
Peck's description, I think must be the same species. I find the same
plant also at Kew and Berlin from California under the (mss.) name
Stereum Harknessii, but I believe this was never published.
Compare Stereum pallidum in Section 6.
SYNONYMS, ETC.
Thelephora Komobensis, Japan, Hennings, known from one collection in Japan, is Stereum
diaphanum, a rare species of the United States. Its occurrence in Japan is of interest.
Stereum pannosum, England, Sowerby (as Helvella). The original name for Stereum Sowerbyi
as changed by Berkeley. This change was made through a mistake of reference as Berkeley afterwards
concluded, but he never changed back the name and we do not engage in that kind of work.
Stereum riyulosum, Cuba, Berkeley. Only known from the type locality, two little specimens
each about the size of pin-heads. We do not know, but we do not doubt that they are Stereum undulatum.
Stereum tenerrimum, Southern United States, Berkeley = Stereum undulatum. Also same in
Peck's records.
Stereum Tuba, Ceyjon, Berkeley. This is not at all a Stereum, but a Cyphella which appears
quite common in Australian regions. We collected it in Samoa and it was named Cyphella grandis
(Myc. Notes, p. 258). Hennings also has a name for it, from Samoa. McGinty calls it Cyphella
Tuba (Berekeley) McGinty.
Thelephora exigua, United States, Peck = Stereum undulatum.
Thelephora Harknessii, "n. s." Harkness No. 475 in Phillip's herbarium, British Museum (also
at Berlin), is Stereum Burtianum.
Thelephora liliputiana. South America, Montagne is Isaria (sic) nabelliformis. Peck, it seems,
was not the only one to discover that this was a "new species" of Thelephora (cfr. Thelephora rosella
below).
Thelephora rosella, United States, Peck = Isaria nabelliformis. It is supposed to be a conidial
Pyrenomycete, but its ascous form is not known. There is, however, no basis whatever for referring
it as the conidial form of Xylaria corniformis as found in Ellis's Pyrenomycetes. (Cfr. Letter 43,
Note 44.)
Thelephora Sullivantii, United States, Montagne = Stereum diaphanum, type at Paris.
Thelephora Willeyi, United States, Peck = Stereum diaphanum.
