GANODERMUS.
Fig. 706.
Polyporus multiplicatus.
POLYPORUS CUPREUS. A peculiar, reddish brown, dull surface, to my eye
about matching Kaiser brown of Ridgway, is the distinguishing feature of this
plant. The type from Africa is still preserved at Upsala. We have a recent collection
from E. D. Merrill, Philippines. The spores of the Philippine plant 6x12
mic. are longer than those in the type.
POLYPORUS CHAFFANGEON I. Pileus hard, rugulose, brittle. Crust
reddish brown. Pore mouths subconcolorous.
This tropical form we have from Rev. Rick, and only know it from his determination
and the type at Paris. Rev. Rick refers it to Polyporus pachyotis,
which is otherwise unknown to us.
SPECIMENS. Brazil, Rev. Rick and Rev. F. Theissen; Bengal, S. Hutchings.
Compare formosissimus, pachyotis.
POLYPORUS MEXICANUS. Pileus thin, rigid, strongly laccate, subsessile.
Similar to Polyporus lucidus as to pileus, but hard, thin, and rigid. We have not
seen the type, but have a specimen that answers the "description" in a way.
Mr. Murrill surmises that it is not a Ganodermus, and hence Patouillard made
a bull when he so referred it. The plant we have belongs to the section Ganodermus,
and we do not question that Patouillard's plant also belongs here. We think Patouillard
makes very few errors of this nature.
POLYPORUS POLYCHROMUS. This is a soft, annual, western plant with
pileus very much on the order of Polyporus Curtisii excepting that it is sessile.
Surface yellowish, slightly laccate. Context zoned. We only know it from the
western United States.
POLYPORUS PHILLIPIL The type
is at Berlin from India. Pore mouths
are concolorous with the pore tissue which is the only point of difference we can note
from the usual form in this section. We have a specimen from Florida with this
feature.
SPECIMENS. Florida, H. S. Fawcett.
