TRAMETES GILVOIDES.
Entire plant gilvous brown, pileus subresupinate, adnate, the
surface of the pileus covered with rigid, brown setae in the same
manner as those of Trametes hydnoides. Context gilvous brown.
Hymenium with numerous slender setae of the " Hymenochaete
type. Pores small, round, with glancing mouths. Spores globose,
2>x3 mic., hyaline (or perhaps pale colored).
This is a plant I collected (one collection only) on oak branch
in Florida in January, 1897. I have never since seen it in any museum,
and when I collected it I was not able to get it determined. One
"authority" to whom I sent it referred it to Poria contigua (sic),
another to Trametes hispida (sic). It has not the most remote resemblance
to either species.
It belongs to the section "Hispida" of Trametes, with Trametes
hynoides alnd Trametes hystrix, but departs from all in that section
in having setae on the hymenium similar to those of Polyporus gilvus.
"TRAMETES GALLICA."
We present (figure 517) photograph made from a specimen in
Monsieur Boudier's herbarium as Trametes gallica, and so interpreted
by Monsieur Boudier. It is a very rare form in France, and Monsieur
Boudier tells me that in his forty years' experience the species has
only come to his attention twice. He considered it a valid species.
