thelephoroides, Europe, Karsten. Unknown. Said to have the "form and
color of Thelephora laciniata." That must be a curious "Fomes." It is a pity that
Xarsten did not distribute such a remarkable find. See his figure, which appears to
be something unusual, but a doubtful "Fomes."
Thomsoni, India, Berkeley. Known only from the type, an old and very poor
specimen with large pores. Not a Fomes, but a Trametes,' and as a guess, Trametes
Persoonii.
tornatus, Rawak, Persoon. The original specimen at Paris was endorsed by
Leveille as being Fomes australis. It was a case where Fries had ignored "priority"
because it was Persoon's name, not his own, at issue. Our modern lawmakers have
legalized this method of robbing poor old Persoon, for he had no standing at Brussels.
Murrill is the only knight errant of modern times who battles for the rights of poor
old Persoon. He used it as a juggle for Fomes australis.
tostus, Philippines, Berkeley, = Trametes Persoonii.
tropicalis, South America, Cooke. This rests on one quite abundant, but, I
think, abnormal, collection. It is of the same nature as Fomes cryptarum. The
context hard, isabelline, pore mouths pale, probably white when fresh. The abortive
pileus surface black, smooth. I made a very similar collection in Samoa, but evidently
a different species, which I have labeled Fomes malvenus, merely to have a
name for it in my collection, but I do not place much stress on these evidently
abnormal things.
Troyanus, Jamaica, Murrill. Types are two little undeveloped specimens,
in my opinion inadequate material on which to base a species.
tuniseus, Tunis, Patouillard. Based on one collection on the locust tree, from
Tunis, and for me = Fomes rimosus.
Underwoodii, West Indies, Murrill, = Fomes badius.
ungujatus, Europe, Schaeffer. This is one of several names under which
Schaeffer illustrated Fomes pinicola. As found in Saccardo, it is a definite idea of
the with narrow annual
ungulateyprm layers. As usually used by modern authors
in it is
exsiccatae,] only a juggle for Fomes pinicola.
variegatms, Europe, Sowerby (not Secretan, as innocently cited). From
Sowerby's remarks, rather than from his figure, which is too yellow, I judge this is
the sessile, /annual Polyporus recently named Ganodermus resinaceus in Europe.
vegetus, Europe, Fries. This is a condition of Fomes applanatus with layers
of context interposed between the pores. It is not rare in Europe.
verruculosus, South America, Meyer. No specimen preserved probably, but
from description, it was surely Fomes pectinatus, and a "prior" name.
versatilis, Europe, Quelet, = Fomes Ribis, teste Bresadola. Quelet in his
last work calls it Fomes pectinatus.
versicolor, Australia, Hennings. Type not found by me at Berlin. Said to
have colored spores. Setae not mentioned.
Williamsianus, Philippines, Murrill. Unknown to me. Not distributed to
any museum in Europe. From description, it is a Ganodermus with asperate spores
in Section 78.
Williamsii, Philippines, Murrill, = Fomes lamaensis, and named on the same
page. The next year Murrill withdrew the species and referred it to Fomes endotheius,
to which it has little resemblance, and no analogy.
Xylocreon, South America, Spegazzini, unknown.
