PALLIDUS TRAMETES.
TRAMETES FEEI (Fig. 578). Pileus thin, pink color, applanate
(10 x 14 x ^ cm.). Surface appressed, fibrillose with a zonate
effect, glaucescent. Context thin, punky. Pores minute, round.
This is a tropical, American plant, very similar to Trametes
carnea as to size, shape, and color, and I am not sure it is a different
species. It was named by Fries from Brazil, but no specimen is in
his herbarium. There is at Paris, however, an evident cotype from
the herbarium of Desmazieres "recu par Mr. Fee, Brazil, 1826."
The fibrillose surface, which is the only distinction between this
plant and Trametes carnea, is not always in evidence, and I think
the two plants merge into each other. Trametes Sagraeana, named
by Montagne from Cuba, is very similar, though most of Montagne's
species under this name, from Brazil, are Trametes cupreorosea. At
New York are many collections from West Indies, referred to Trametes
Sagraeana.
TRAMETES SAGRAEANA. Pileus thin, rigid, attached by a
reduced base. Surface smooth, even, dull, soft to the touch. Context
thin, punky. Pores minute, round, firm.
The type form, as illustrated by Montagne from Cuba, has very
minute pores, and differs from Trametes Feei in more punky context,
and surface soft to the touch, not hard and fibrillose. The type is
marked by Montagne "Cuba." In the same cover, however, is another
specimen marked "865" (from Leprieur), with large, sinuate pores,
which Montagne also refers to Trametes Sagraeana. For me, it is
Trametes cupreo-rosea. Trametes Sagraeana seems to be rare in the
West Indies, and I have noted only the type. The abundant specimens
so referred by Murrill from Cuba are Trametes Feei.
TRAMETES LILACINO-GILVA. Pileus applanate, usually
thin, rose or pink color, with surface strongly rugose, fibrillose. Context
concolorous, punky. Pores medium round, concolorous. Spores
oblong, hyaline, smooth, 4x8 mic.
The Australian analogue of Trametes Feei of .American tropics,
and of about the same color and surface. It differs in having notably
larger pores and more strongly fibrillose surface. It seems to be
frequent in Australasia, but is not known to me elsewhere. The next
species with even surface has same color and pores, and is a form
probably. The Australian forms all have larger pores than the
analogues in the American flora.
TRAMETES EUCALYPTI. This is an Australian form, agreeing with
Trametes lilacino-gilva as to color and pores, but having even pileus, corresponding
to surface of Trametes carnea. It is not as frequent in Australia as lilacino-gilva,
and but one collection is at Kew. There is no type but a figure by the author at
Kew.
TRAMETES CUPREO-ROSEA (Fig. 579). Pileus thin, rigid,
attached by reduced base, (6 x 9 x ^ cm.). Surface striate fibrillose,
