so named by Berkeley (in mss.), nor does it grow in the same hemisphere (cfr. Xote
8, Letter 32). It is a variety, but a marked variety of Trametes carnea, as I published
years ago. The name Trametes Palliser has since been taken for Trametes
carnea, but I believe without merit, as it refers only to the variety, and should not
be substituted for the "type" form, and also it has never been "described", for the
"description" published referred to an entirely different plant.
Pandani, China, Fries. Loureiro one hundred and twenty years ago vaguely
ascribed to "Boletus igniarius" a collection from China which he described as thin
and red. As it was evidently misnamed, Fries named it Polyporus Pandani. Cooke
decided it was a Fomes (sic). If it had been called Polystictus sanguineus, it
would have been probably nearer the truth.
Pappianus, Africa, Bresadola, = Fomes badius. I learned the plant under this
name, and would be disposed to continue it, but feel it is unfortunate that a man
should be so named, and hesitate in inflicting it on a plant.
paradoxus, Europe, Humboldt, = Fomes rufo-flavus, it is stated. The crude
figure Humboldt gives represents nothing.
peguanus, India, Montagne. There is no type at Paris, but I found one at
Berlin. How it got there I am unable to say. It is the same as Fomes caliginosus.
perpusillus, Incog. Persoon. The originals are in the herbarium of Persoon
so labeled. There is no locality on the label. It was published by Leveille as "Hab.
America borealis ad truncos," which I think is wrong, as I do not recognize it as any
American species. It is said to be Fomes scutellatus, but of this I am not so sure.
Pfeifferi, Europe, Bresadola, = Fomes laccatus.
phaeus, India, Berkeley, = Fomes melanoporus.
philippinensis, Philippines, Murrill. Described with isabelline context, smooth,
pale crust. Spores hyaline, 4x5. Xo specimen seems to have been distributed to
any museum in Europe.
piceus, Borneo, Cesati. Xo type known by me, but probably the same as
Fomes pseudoaustralis or Fomes subtornatus.
ponderosus, Kalchbrenner. Xo
JAustralia, specimen found by me in any
museum, but fronn description appears to be Polyporus durus, and is probably not
a Fomes. /
ponderosus, United States, Schrenk, = Fomes pinicola teste Murrill.
populinus, Europe, Schumacher. A vague, old reference, used first by Karsten
and afterwards by others as a juggle for Fomes connatus. The figure Flo. Dan.
1791, which is a specimen "legit Schumacher," appears to be a Polyporus (not a
Fomes), nor does it have the coloration of Fomes connatus.
praerimosus, United States, Murrill, = Fomes Everhartii, as the author admits.
propinquus, South America, Spegazzini, unknown.
pseudoconchatus, Africa, Hennings. The type is in the show department of
the museum at Berlin. It is an unusually large specimen (3-4 inches in diameter)
of Polyporus fruticum.
punctatus, Java, Junghuhn. Xo type found.
purgans, Europe, Gmelin, = name change of Laricis. It was adopted by
Persoon.
pyrrhocreas, Australia, Cooke, = Fomes Kermes.
resinosus, Europe, Schrader. A vague, old description, probably originally
same as Fomes laccatus of this pamphlet. In sense of Quelet, it is Fomes laccatus.
It is legal now, however, for it is against the "law" to correct Fries' mistakes.
Robiniae, United States, Murrill, = Fomes rimosus.
roseo-albus, Java, Junghuhn. A subresupinate, Polyporus or perhaps Fomes.
The type at Leiden is unsatisfactory, and the name has no application to it, now at
least, for there is nothing about it either "rosy" or "white." Bresadola takes it in
the sense of Fomes caliginosus of this pamphlet, in which case the name has even
less application.
rubiginosus, Europe, Schrader. An old, vague description, variously interpreted.
Given by Fries as a synonym for Polyporus resinosus in his sense (fuscus
for me), which is also only an interpretation of an old, vague description, and was
probably as wrong as the synonym. At one time Bresadola used rubiginosus as a
