Lloyd Mycological Writings V4.pdf - MykoWeb

Cesatianus, Borneo, Hennings. Change of caliginosus of Cesati, which being
the same as caliginosus of Berkeley and having several other names, was hardly
worth renaming.
chilensis, South America, Fries. The type at Upsala, all that is known to me,
is a thin, subresupinate Ganodermus, about the same as usually called australis.
circumstans, Western United States, Morgan, = Fomes Ellisianus, as Morgan
admitted, and for me = Fomes fraxinophilus. Morgan complained to me that
Ellis published Fomes Ellisianus in a journal where a mycologist would not be apt
to see it.
compressus, Australia, Berkeley, = effete Polyporus ochroleucus.
concentricus, Japan (alleged), Cooke. Known only from the type locality,
and that locality not known. There is one collection with nothing to indicate the
source except from Hooker's collection. It was published as coming from Japan,
but as far as I have ever noted there were no specimens in Hooker's collection from
Japan, and no indication that this was. It is close to Fomes leucophaeus, but with
a variegated crust, the same pores, spores, and pore mouths. The context color,
however, is much lighter (buckthorn brown).
contrarius, Brazil, Cooke. Type poor, appears to me to be probably subresupinate
Fomes annosus.
Copelandi, Philippines, Murrill, = Fomes caliginosus. Cotype specimen at
Paris.
Cornu-bovis, India, Cooke, = Fomes melanoporus.
crassus, Europe, Fries. Seen by Fries in the herbarium of Beyrich and supposed
by Fries to be a lapsus. It is hardly worth obscuring the subject with such
"species."
cremorinus, Borneo, Cesati. No specimen found by me, and the description
(with "fulvescent" context) suggests nothing to me.
crocitinctus, Cuba, Berkeley. The types at Kew are all that are known, and
are not surely Fomes. More probably Polyporus. Surface is dark, glabrous,
wrinkled. Context scanty and pores bright yellow or rhei color. Hyphae deep
yellow, spores small, 2%-3, globose, pale colored. Setae, none. It is not very
ligneous and has no strata of pores. If a Fomes, it is close to Fomes pectinatus in
Section 71. It is about the same size and shape as pectinatus.
crustosus, Jamaica, Murrill, = Fomes inflexibilis, teste author, but I believe not.
cryptarum, Europe, Bulliard. Buillard gave an excellent figure of a very poor
specimen which had wasted a lot of energy trying to take a normal form under
abnormal conditions. From its coloration, Bulliard's plant was probably Fomes
annosus, but Fomes cryptarum is quite a convenient name for anything that, growing
in abnormal conditions, takes this abortive form, and has been applied to several
abortions by Fries, Berkeley, Rabenhorst, and others.
Curreyi, Perak, Cooke, = Trametes strigata.
cytisinus, Europe, Berkeley. This is the same plant as is called Fomes fraxineus
in current usage. Fomes cytisinus is the correct name for it. No type is preserved,
but from Berkeley's writings, there can be no question. The specimen in
Cooke's herbarium (vide Berkeley) is not the plant.
deformis, Europe, Schaeffer. Based on an old figure (Schaeffer 264), and
nothing in Europe is known to correspond. The only plant that I can suggest that
is at all like the figure is Polyporus corrugis (cfr. Slip. Pol., p. 122).
Demidoffi, Russia, Leveille. Same plant as Fomes juniperinus. Instead of
making "laws" to induce men to use such uncouth names as Demidoffi when the
plant has a good and appropriate name, there ought to be some adequate punishment
for those who inflict such names upon defenseless plants.
diffusus, Hawaii, Fries, = Fomes lignosus, a thin annual form. Type at
Upsala.
Earlei, Southwest United States, Murrill, = Fomes juniperinus, absolutely
the same in every particular.
elatus, West Indies, Leveille. No type exists.
Ellisianus, Western United States, Anderson (as alleged, but Ellis in fact
without doubt, as Anderson never worked on the subject except as an artist). Generally
held to be valid, a species growing on the Shepherdia in the West, but for
me is the same plant as Fomes fraxinophilus on the ash in our Eastern States.
Elmeri, Philippine, Murrill, = Fomes pachyphloeus.
