substitute for Forties applanatus, but has since abandoned it. At Kew there is a
"type" specimen of rubiginosus from Fries which is Polyporus cuticularis.
rubriporus, Europe, Quelet, = Fomes torulosus.
rudis, Africa, Patouillard, = Fomes Yucatensis, and both could be considered
as being Fomes rimosus with setae.
rudis, West Indies, Leveille, = Polyporus supinus (?). The type is quite old,
and the characteristic context color of Polyporus supinus is not sure. Also it is
thinner. Murrill refers it as a pale form of Trametes Persoonii, which was a very
bad guess, as it has no relation whatever to it. Patouillard published it as a Ganodermus,
also an evident error.
rufo-pallidus, Europe, Trog. = Fomes roseus, young specimen. Fries' Icones
under this name is a good drawing of young Fomes roseus. There is a type from
Trog at Paris.
Sancti Georgii, South America, Patouillard. This has the same surface,
context, pores, pore mouths, and spores as Fomes Niaouli, and is too close to keep
distinct. The context is of a shade darker color, which is all the difference I can
note. I believe it is a "prior" name.
scansilis, Pacific Island, Berkeley. Based on a diseased condition of Fomes
australis when the context has turned white. These conditions are not rare even
in European and American forms of Fomes applanatus. I do not know what causes
it, but judge it is a disease of some kind.
sclerodermeus, West Indies, Leveille, = Fomes marmoratus, and is perhaps
an earlier name for it. I have not looked up the dates,
sclerodes, Cuba, Berkeley. No type exists.
Secretani, Europe, Orth (as Trametes). Specimen so labeled "Orth in herb."
at Paris is Fomes connatus.
sordidus, "America," Leveille. No type found by me. The only specimen at
Paris is from Guadaloupe, and is probably Valenzuelianus. It is endorsed by Le-
veille "differs by its pale context," hence it is probably not the type,
squalidus, Brazil, Fries. No type exists.
Stevenii, Russia, Leveille. Specimen is not preserved in any museum I have
visited. I have been told that it is in Italy. From the figure and description, I
judge it is Fomes leucophaeus.
subextensus, Philippines, Murrill, = Fomes senex.
subferreus, West Indies, Murrill, = Fomes dochmius as to the type, also
specimen recently distributed (Wien 1908).
subfomentarius, Brazil, Romell, = Fomes marmoratus, as the author acknowledges
on a label at Kew.
subfulvus, West Indies, Cooke. Change of Polyporus rudis (q. v.) of Leveille,
which is so indefinite that one name is enough for it. Cooke never saw it, and
"subfulvus" would have no application to it. The type is old and very doubtful.
Probably it is Polyporus supinus.
sublinteus, Mexico, Murrill. Not a Fomes, but a Polyporus with colored spores.
Based on little pieces in Ellis' herbarium. One piece seems to have had a stem.
subpectinatus, West Indies, Murrill, = Fomes pectinatus, regular specimens.
Spores 2>y2 rather than 2 mic., as described. Rick distributed this plant as tomes
capucinus.
sulcatus, South America, Cooke, = Fomes hornodermus. The pores are
slightly larger and the context not so hard, but I think it is the same species.
sulcatus, United States, Murrill. Same species as called by same author
Fomes zonatus. The name sulcatus is a duplicate (in Fomes), having be
e
Swietiniae,
West Indies, Murrill. Represented at New York by two specimens
of quite different context color, and not the same species in my opinion.
tasmanicus, Tasmania, Berkeley. Type very poor. In my opinion, f <
semitostus.
tenax, South America, Leveille. No type exists.
tenuis, Europe, Karsten. Usually a Poria, though I once collected a Fomes
form. Very common in Sweden, and surely known to Fries, who called it, I think,
Poria ferruginosa. For me, it is Poria ferrea. .
testaceus, Brazil, Leveille. Type at Paris a little deformed specimen of Fomes
australis. Used in this pamphlet in the sense of Patouillard, not Leveille.
