pores are completely filled with white hyphae, but I doubt if that is a normal
feature of the plant. Setae, none. Spores globose, colored, 5 mic. While the interposed
layers of context are unusual among Fomes, species based on this feature in
Europe (Fomes vegetus) are known to be abnormal conditions, and that may be
the case in this instance. On the other hand, Fomes connatus is always so characterized.
griphaeformis, Australia, Berkeley. No type exists.
Haematoxyli, Jamaica, Murrill. Based on one collection which, except as to
shape (more applanate), is quite close to Fomes igniarius and probably a form.
The context is dark brown. The "honey-yellow-context" of the description was a
careless observation of some yellow, mycelial growth that had overrun the surface
of some of the old tissue.
halconensis, Philippines, Bresadola (as variety of spadiceus). Unknown to
me. It seems quite large to be referred as a variety of spadiceus.
Hasskarlii, Java, Leveille. The type cited at Leiden is the same as senex of
this pamphlet. Cotype at Kew is Fomes pectinatus. Owing to the confusion, we
prefer to use Montagne's previous name, Fomes senex, although that was also
badly confused by Montagne. We have heretofore used the name Hasskarlii (cfr.
Letter 38).
helveolus, Europe, Rostkovius. The figure seems to be Fomes pinicola, but the
description does not at all accord. Fries so referred a plant collected by Lindblad,
which Romell thinks must have been Fomes pinicola. Rostkovius described helveolus
as being "fleshy," but no similar fleshy plant is now known in Europe.
hippopus, Incog, Bresadola, = Fomes hornodermus. This is based on an old
specimen in Willdenow's herbarium, labeled "Boletus Hippopus," but not published
until 1890. Spores teste author 5x8-9. In Saccardo (9. 174) it is in error
ascribed to Europe. It corresponds to the common plant in Africa, which was
probably its source. The African form has a smoother, more even surface than the
American, and might be maintained as a form.
Hohnelii, Java, Bresadola. Unknown to me. Compared to Fomes zelandicus,
with setae and colored spores, 5x6.
holomelanus, Brazil, Cooke, = Fomes atro-umbrinus. Berkeley labeled two
lots, one atro-umbrinus (which he published), the other holomelanus, which Cooke
dug up and published. They are exactly the same thing, same collector, and probably
same collection, v. Hohnel has an interesting notation on the type of holomelanus
that it is a Ganodermus (sic).
hyperboreus, Canada, Berkeley. No type exists. Guessed by Murrill to
have been possibly Fomes igniarius, which appears to have been a bad guess if its
context was "pale cervine," as described.
hypopolius, Australia, Kalchbrenner (as Polyporus). No specimen in museum,
but description indicates Fomes annosus.
ignarioides, Mexico, Patouillard, = for me young Fomes rimosus, same context
color, spores and absence of setae. The surface is not rimose, but the specimen is
young. If this is not Fomes rimosus it is surely Fomes endotheius, which is too
close to Fomes rimosus. The context color (whence the name) is not that of Fomes
igniarius, but Fomes robustus, the latter being misknown as Fomes igniarius locally
in France.
inaequalis, Finland, Karsten (as Trametes). Specimen at Upsala appears to
me to be young nodules of Fomes igniarius (malvenu).
incanus, Europe, Quelet. Quelet claims that Fomes ulmarius, fraxineus, and
cytisinus were all the same species for which he invented a new name, Fomes incanus.
If it were true, which it is not, there would be no occasion for a new name.
incrassatus, Australia, Berkeley, = Fomes leucophaeus.
introstuppeus, Perak, Cooke, = Fomes fomentarius.
Inzengae, Italy, De Notaris. This is the common Fomes fomentarius. Several
exsiccatae specimens are found in the museums.
irregularis, United States, Underwood (as Polyporus), = Teste Murrill, subresupinate
Fomes annosus. I never took the trouble to look it up. If Underwood
did not know the common Fomes annosus, he was particularly competent to announce
"new species."
Kamphoveneri, Tahiti, Fries, = Fomes lignosus. Type at Upsala. At one
time this was the name used by Bresadola, though he has since accepted my cor-
