were confused by Cooke with the next species and put on the same
sheet. Recent collections have been distributed by Ule under Henning's
misdetermination as Stereum Huberianum.
STEREUM GLABRUM (Fig. 560). Pileus spathulate to a reduced
base, entire or cut into cuneate segments. Smooth, reddish
brown. Hyphae are deeply colored.
This is a species of the Philippines and the East quite similar
in shape and appearance to Stereum fissum of the American tropics,
but differs in the color of the context and hyphse. It was originally
named from Java (Zoll. No. 16), and a cotype is at Berlin. Berkeley
called it also, from Ceylon, Stereum partitum, and Cooke got it from
Malay and discovered it to be a "new species" of "Guepinia" (sic).
There are but three collections in the museums, each with a different
STEREUM CRISTATUM. Small (1-1^ cm.), petaloid, light
bay-brown, tapering to the base. Hymenium smooth, even, paler
than upper surface. The entire plant is glabrous, excepting it has
near the base on the upper side curious, coarse, crested growth, possibly
not always developed, but present in all known specimens. It
is only known from Curtis and Ravenel's (scanty) collections. Those
at Kew (type) are petaloid with lateral, short stem. Those in the
British Museum (Ravenel's) have a tendency to be infundibuliform,
and this is probably the true shape of the plant when perfectly de-
veloped.

STEREUM AFFINE (Fig. 561). Pileus petaloid, dark reddishbay
color, glabrous, faintly zoned. Stipe tomentose.
This species is quite frequent in the museums, and is mostly
misreferred to Stereum elegans. It grows on wood, and is attached
