and Polyporus valenzuelianus. In sense of Ellis it is the latter. The description
covers the former only, for neither of the latter have "white pores".
Henningsii, Europe, Bresadola. Dr. Hennings found in the old Botanical
Garden at Berlin, large quantities of a Polyporus that assumed all kinds of shapes.
It was pure white, thin, and had large pores. Sometimes resupinate, with thick
subiculum, and rhizomorphal cords, other pleuropodial or even mesopodial. The
pileate form was referred to Polyporus lacteus by Bresadola also called a new species
Polyporus Hennsingsii. I have an impression that it has since been held to be a
pileate form ot Poria Vaillantii. (Cfr pulchella.)
hepatites, South America, Berekeley. Type rubbish.
Herbergii, Europe, Rostkovius. Among the many, mostly badly colored
and inaccurately named figures that were issued in the pocket edition of the Flora
of Germany (Sturm) about eighty years ago, was one named as above. The figure
is rather thin, but represents apparently sessile Polyporus Schweinitzii. Fries referred
it to Polyporus spongia, which' is same thing, and Saccardo gives it as a synonym
for Polyporus spongia and on the same page as a valid species. The incident
was almost forgotten in Europe except in England where the tradition still persists.
Berkeley in 1878 referred to Polyporus Herbergii a specimen in the Edinburg Fungus
show, and subsequent English mycologists frequently find it, their specimens begin
Polyporus Schweinitzii.
heteroclitus, England, Bolton. All that is known about it is Bolton's figure
(t. 164). While it is not a good figure, I do not question it is Polyporus cristatus,
a rare plant in England. Berkeley never found any plant that he referred to this
figure. Fries' account was based solely on Bolton's figure. Polyporus heteroclitus
is still carried in all the modern traditional works of England, though not a recent
mycologist has ever found a plant that could possibly be referred to it, except Cooke
who did here refer Polyporus rufescens which has not the slightest resemblance to
Bolton's figure.
hinnuleus, Brazil, Berkeley. It is endorsed now as being Polyporus rheicolor.
That looks right to me.
hirsutus, Juggle, Murrill. No one has known Polyporus hispidus by any
other name for so many years, and Murrill's juggle was so similar, that it almost
unnoticed.
hispidans, Australia, Cooke. Based on a single specimen, unknown to me, but
badly named and badly classified by Cooke. It is isabelline now but was no doubt
a thin, white plant closely related to Polyporus Spraguei as to its surface which
is not "hispid" but rugulose granular. If ever found again it should be renamed.
I think no one is obligated to perpetuate such misnomers.
Hobsoni, India, Berkeley = I believe Polyporus obtusus of the United States.
Known only from the "type locality" though I have a specimen of Polyporus obtusus
from Ceylon.
Hoehnelialus, Europe, Bresadola = Polyporus epileucus for me.
Hollandii, Africa, Massee = Polyporus colossus.
hololeucus, Australia, Kalchbrenner = Polyporus Eucalyptorum, type at Berlin.
In sense of Cooke who placed it in Polystictus (sic) it is Trametes lactinea.
holosclerus, Ceylon, Berkeley = Polyporus gilvus, the reddish form called also
Polyporus carneo-fulvus.
Holtermanni, Java, Saccardo, change of polymorphus (q. v. )= Polyporus
zonalis probably.
homalopilus, Cuba, Saccardo. Change of omalopilus which is Polyporus gilvus.
hypocitrinus, Brazil, Berkeley. Type two little frustules from which nothing
can be told.
hypococcineus, United States, Berkeley = Polyporus croceus. Berkeley published
that it was same as Polyporus Pilotae which is same as Polyporus croceus.
No specimen in Berkeley's herbarium but specimens can be found at Upsala and
Paris of Berkeley's naming.
hypomelanus. New Zealand, Cooke. Known only from the type a single
specimen. It is rigid, with a thin, reddish brown, smooth crust, hardly any context
which appears to be white, and small rigid pores, the tissue pale but the mouths
black. The general style of the plant is like Polyporus elegans but the specimen
has no but had a dorsal sessile attachment. I
stipe hardly feel that a species should
be maintained on a single specimen which appears to be a sessile example of some
plant of the Melanopus section.
