GENUS XLI.—Kneiffia (after Kneif, a promising mycologist Kneiffia. of Baden, who died young). Fr. Gen. Hymen. Hymenium amphigenous, continuous, united, but incomplete (imperfect), similar (to the hymeno- phore), destitute of granules and warts, strigose and roughened with rigid, scattered or fasciculate bristles. Sporophores single-spored ; spores elliptic. Laxly fleshy, soft, when dry collapsing and becoming flocculose. Swelling out of chinks in the bark of trees into 'various forms, hemispheri- cal in its most perfect state. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 628. 1. K. setigera Fr. — Milk-white, irregularly effused, thick, fleshy, un- dulated, flocculose within, silky beneath, beset with scattered hyaline bristles. Of no constant form, but certainly a typical plant, not a degenerate con- dition of any other, and the type of a most distinct genus, in its substance and white colour comparable only with Corticium serum, but differing in the fructification. The bristles are rigid, equal, not to be compared with those of Aiiricularini. The largest specimens are of the size of an apple, but com- monly thin, effused, often incrusting Sphcerice. On dead wood. Uncommon. April. Somewhat resembling Grandinia granulosa in general appearance. Spores elliptic, 11-14 mk. B. £r= Br. Name—seta, a bristle ; gero, to
