Thelephora craspidia, Mexico, Fries. There is a little cotype frustule at Kew. It is quite close,
probably same as Stereum pallidum.
Thelephora frondosa, Europe, Persoon. Specimen in his herbarium is the same, I think, as
Stereum laminosum. If the "rights of priority" were not forbidden by "law" as far as concerns poor
old Persoon (which is certainly a most unjust "law," though enacted probably in good faith in a futile
attempt to head off cheap name-jugglers), the following species in our "legalized" standard would all
be referred to "Stereum frondosum, Persoon;" Sparassis laminosa (p. 666), Sparassis foliacea (p. 666),
and Stereum speciosum (p. 638).
Thelephora intybacea, sense of Quelet not Fries, is Stereum pallidum. Intybacea in sense of Fries
is a Thelephora, not a Stereum, that grows in frondose woods only and occurs on the campus at Upsala.
It is for me Thelephora mollissima in the sense of Persoon. The only good specimen of it I have noted
is in Montagne's herbarium at Paris. There is a poor one in Persoon's herbarium.
Thelephora multizonata, England, Berkeley = Stereum pallidum.
Thelephora pannosa, England, Sowerby, was afterwards changed through an error to Thelephora
Sowerbyi and, when the error was discovered, was never corrected. In Fries' early works it
was confused with Stereum pallidum. The early exsiccatae of Stereum pallidum are mostly misdetermined
as Thelephora pannosa.
SECTION 7.
Clavarioides. Pileus cut into narrow, lacerate segments, somewhat resembling
a Clavaria, but having the hymenium only on one side of the narrow segments.
But three species known from the tropics. They are all more fleshy than the usual
Stereums.

Stereum proliferum.
STEREUM HARTMANNI (Fig. 553). Pileus white, spathulate,
cut into narrow segments, the ultimate divisions incurved and
pectinate. Hymenium on the lower side only.
This elegant little species reached Montagne from "Carolina"
about seventy years ago, but must be most wonderfully rare, as it
was never found again in Southern United States by either Ravenel
or Curtis, who were close collectors in the same region for a number
of years. While never found again in the United States, it occurs in
West Indies, and the best specimens in the museum were recently
distributed by N. L. Britton, collected in St. Kitts.
STEREUM PROLIFERUM (Fig. 554). Erect, branched,
white. The branches are dilated above, and radiately lobed at the
