The only species is found in August and November by the side of sandy paths in pine-groves. 2377. Phlebia. So called, from <p*.r^, a vein. As the last was intermediate between Agaricus and Hydnum, so is this between Cantharellus and Thelephora. As that differed from Dasdalea, does this from Merulius. The species are all found upon bark, late in the year. No species was described before the writings of Fries. P. merismoides is an elegant little plant, distinguished by its reddish-flesh-colored hues. It is found occasionally spreading over wood and smooth bark ; and sometimes runs with its papillose veiny branches among mosses. _ 2378. Thelephora. So called, from StjX*), a nipple, and <pteco, to bear, in allusion to the papillose surface ol 3 T 2$
