Leveille also saw a specimen from Mexico in the museum at Paris,
and labeled it "Leptochaete igniaria." It did not get into print,
but the specimen still bears this label. Swartz published it originally
as Hydnum resupinatum, but, as it was not resupinate, he afterward
took the liberty of changing it without consulting Otto Kuntze to
Thelephora setosa. Berkeley found the specimen in the British
Museum, and republished it in 1842 and gave a good figure of it.
Thirty years later he got a specimen from Venezuela, and, having
forgotten his previous publication, discovered it was a "new species,"
and published it as Hymenochaete aspera. It is compiled in Saccardo
under both names and in different genera.

Hydnochaete setosa.
As this Hydnochaete differs from all other known pileate Hymenochaete
not only in its tubercular hymenium, but also in the
strigose, matted hairs, Professor McGinty proposed to restore
Leveille's ^name and call the plant "Leptochaete setosa (Berkeley)
McGinty." Those who recognize the genus "Funales" cannot consistently
refuse to recognize the genus Leptochaete, for both are based
on the same characters.
HYDXOCHAETE BADIA (Fig. 767). Resupinate, broadly effused,
no distinct margin. Subiculum 2-3 mm. thick, coriaceous,
Sudan brown. Hymenium darker than context, varying in configuration,
tubercular, irpicoid, or sometimes with indications of
