SYNONYMS, MISTAKES, SPECIES IMPERFECTLY KNOWN
OR NOT KNOWN AT ALL, ETC.
acupunctatus, Ceylon, Berkeley. Type is resupinate, fragments said to consist
of three species.
Aegerita, Mexico, Fries. Xo type exists. Described as white with white,
floccose context. Description would indicate Fomes Laricis.
albogriseus, United States, Peck. Based on a young specimen of Fomes
Laricis.
albo-limbatus, Africa, Cooke. Xo type found by me.
albo-marginatus, Java, Leveille. = Fomes kermes. The "white margin" is
"remarquable" for its absence not only from the type at Leiden, but from all the
many collections in the museums. It was thus misnamed through pure incompetency,
and the maintenance of such a misnomer is, in my opinion, without merit.
Alni, Asia, Sorokin. Xo specimen seen nor the figure. I presume it was
Fomes roseus or Fomes pinicola. Either of them is probably a bad guess.
angulus, Japan, Lloyd. Pidgin latin for Fomes angularis.
anisopilus, Java, Leveille. Never was a "Fomes," but a thin Polystictus.
(Cfr. Letter 36.)
apiahynus, Brazil, Spegazzini. Unknown. From the description it is impossible
to tell eVen to what it is related.
aratus, United States, Saccardo. Change of Ganodermus sulcatus, which
would not have been necessary had it been compiled in Vol. 21 instead of Vol. 17.
It is a synonym for Fomes zonatus.
Auberianus, Cuba, Montagne. = Fomes lignosus. In the sense of early
American mycology' as determined in Europe for Langlois = Fomes geotropus.
aulaxinus, Java, Bresadola. There is a cotype at Kew. I cannot note how it
can be distinguished from Fomes McGregorii.
balabacensis, Philippines, Murrill, = Polyporus pediformis.
bambusinus, China, Patouillard. This, as described, is a Polyporus rather
than a Fomes, as compiled in Saccardo. It resembles closely Polyporus licnoides as
to pores, color, setae, and spores. It bears colored, conidial spores of a different
type from its basidial spores. I would consider it a species of Polyporus, closely
related to Polyporus gilvus.
bistratosus, Brazil, Berkeley. Type a "resupinate" piece, a Poria.
Bonianus, China, Patouillard. Bresadola has referred this to Fomes pectinatus.
I think the type in Patouillard's herbarium is not Fomes pectinatus, but
Polyporus capucinus.
Brownii, Europe, Humboldt, = Fomes rufo-flavus, teste Bresadola.
brunneo-griseus, South America, Patouillard. Xot seen by me. Flesh brown.
"Spores hyaline, 5x6." Seems to belong to the fomentarius group.
Cajanderi, Siberia, Karsten. Unknown. Xothing can be inferred from the
description.
caliginosus, Borneo, Cesati. The cotype at Kew is the same as caliginosus of
Berkeley. Henning renamed Cesati's species (or rather Cesati's name) Fomes
Cesatianus, which was hardly necessary-.
canaliculatus, Java, Patouillard. Unknown to me. Compared by author to
Fomes rufo-flavus.
castaneus, Europe, Fries. Unknown, name change of populneus of Pollini.
The figure Pollini cited I have not located, but the description seems to be Fomes
annosus.
Cedrelae, Jamaica, Murrill, = Fomes rimosus.
cereus, Brazil, Rick (Xo. 108 attributed to Berkeley). There is some error,
as no such species was published by Berkeley. I would class it as a Trametes, and
have labeled the specimen Trametes farcta. Its relations are with Polyporus gilvus.
