SPORES HYALINE.
color. Context white, or pale, firm. Pores small, round, pale, discolored,
probably in drying. Spores globose, white, 4-5 mic., tubercular,
rough.
There are but few polypores known with rough, white spores
only one other, we believe, in this pamphlet although there is a section
of stipitate polypores (Section 27 of Merismus) with echinulate
spores, and one species in Ovinus. Only two collections have reached
Europe, first from Brazil a single specimen which Montagne named
as above and then a collection from Cuba which was composed of
smaller, thinner specimens. Berkeley called the latter Polyporus
albogilvus. The plant does not occur in the abundant material from
the West Indies in the New York Garden.
Compare albogilvus.
B. Flesh soft, spongy.
(We include here Polyporus quercinus which should have gone with the Stipitate species.)
