SPORES COLORED.
concolorous. Setae, none found. Spores abundant, 7x9, deeply
colored, smooth.
The types are at Paris. It grows in Algiers on poplar, and is evidently
of a quick growth. It exudes water drops abundantly when
growing, hence the name. The plant is quite close to Polyporus
hispidus, but has smaller pores and does not turn black in drying. We
have a collection from India that we referred here, but with some
doubt.
POLYPORUS TINCTORIUS. Pileus large, sessile. Surface
rugulose, but not hispid. Context deep, reddish brown, said to be at
first soft and spongy but becoming compact, hard, brittle. Pores large,
with unequal mouths, long (one to two inches), concolorous as to
tissue, but the hymenium light yellow, so that a section has a variegated
effect. Setae, none found. Spores abundant, large, subglobose,
8-9 x 10-11, deeply colored, smooth, with granular contents.
The plant has an abundant yellow coloring matter, and is used
by the natives as a dye. Patouillard has specimens that he purchased
in a shop in Algeria. It grows only in northern Africa, and only on
Pistacia atlantica as far as known. In general characters it is close
to Polyporus hispidus and Polyporus plorans, but the flesh is of a
deeper color and much firmer. The surface, as far as I could tell from
specimens seen, is not hispid.
POLYPORUS FULVOMELLEUS. Pileus dimidiate, thick, globose-ungulate.
Surface hirsute with coarse hairs. Context light, bright rhei color. Pores small,
regular. Setae curved. Spores abundant, colored, 6x8.
We only know this species from having seen it in New York Botanical Gardens.
There are two collections made in the higher altitudes of Jamaica. In general shape
and size it resembles the larger collections of Polyporus fruticum.
POLYPORUS PERTENUIS Pileus thin, brittle, imbricate. Surface brown,
hispid. Context brown. Pores small, round, concolorous. Setae abundant, slender.
Spores scanty, pale colored.
This is a very thin species, known at New York Gardens from two collections,
Cuba and Panama. It reminds one of Polyporus licnoides, but is more brittle and
has colored spores. The abundant setae were not noted in the original description.
POLYPORUS PATOUILLARDI I. Pileus sessile, applanate,
2-3 cm. thick. Surface smooth, brown, dull. Flesh brittle, hard,
faintly zonate, with a satiny luster, dark brown (antique brown).
Pores small, round, 1-1# cm. deep, pale yellowish brown, more yellow
than the context. Imbedded in the pore tissue are thick, deeply colored,
rigid hyphae (cfr. Fig. 600, p. 261, Synopsis Fomes). Setae scattered,
thick, straight, projecting 20 mic. Spores abundant, elliptical,
4-6, pale colored.
Rev. Rick has named and distributed this from Brazil (No. 25 as
lineatoscaber) and we have specimens to correspond. It has peculiar,
colored flesh, with a luster on the order of Polyporus dryadeus. Many
