persicinus, United States, Berkeley. This may in time prove to be a good
species, but at present is known only from the type still at Kew. It appears to
have been three or four inches in diameter, sessile. The flesh was no doubt ros\
at first for the name evidently refers to the color. It is very soft and crumbly. The
pores are medium, and now fuliginous, probably changed color in drying. The
plant is sessile, and grew flat against the host. MurriU's creative power in providing
it with a "stem central, thick, conical, dark purple, 5 cm. long, 4-8 cm. thick" which
was a pure invention and to me a source of much amusement. The plant is unknown
except from this slice at Kew which came from Ravenel. I would class it in Section
81.
pertusa, Africa, Fries (as Trametes) = Polyporus gilvus cotype at Kew.
Pilotae, Unites States, Schweinitz. It has only recently been demonstrated
that this is the same as Polyporus croceus of Europe.
Pini-canadensis, United States, Schweinitz. Xo specimen mounted in his
collection. There is a little frustule at Kew which on comparison seems to be
Polyporus croceus. Schweinitz' description, host, habits, color, and texture all
disagree with Polyporus croceus and there is some error I evidently. know no
plant to agree with Schweinitz' description.
Pini-silvestris, Europe, Allescher = Polyporus benzoinus as to description and
also specimen so named.
plumbeus, West Indies, Leveille = Polyporus zonalis. Type at Paris.
polymorphus, Europe, Rostkovius, t. 56 = Polyporus nodulosus and not a bad
picture of it.
polymorphus, Java Holtermann. From the imperfect description and figure
appears to be Polyporus zonalis. It was changed to Polyporus Holtermanni by
Saccardo.
polytropus, Ceylon, Berkeley ("Fomes" for Cooke) = Polyporus anebus.
pseudo-igniarius, Europe, Bulliard. A very good picture of Polyporus dryadeus.
The name is sometimes used as a juggle.
pseudoradiatus, South America, Patouillard = Polyporus gilvoides which is a
much better name for it.
Ptychogastcr, Europe, Ludwig. Ludwig states that Ptychogaster albus is
a conidial form of "its own proper species" which he names as above. Fries and
others think it a conidial form of Polyporus borealis. I only know that Ptychogaster
albus is not rare in Sweden, that Polyporus borealis is very common in Sweden,
and that "Polyporus Ptychogaster Ludwig" has never been found in Sweden by
the oldest inhabitant.
puberula, United States, Berkeley (as Daedalea). The type all known is
Polyporus salignus. Murrill uses it as a name change for Polyporus fragrans but
there is no evidence either on the label or publication that it is fragrant.
pulchella, Europe, Saccardo. Found in a Botanical Garden. Picture is surely
same thing which Hennings found so abundantly at Berlin and which was called
Polyporus Henningsii (q. v.)
pura, Cuba, Berkeley (as Trametes) = Polyporus immaculatus. The plant has
no suggestion of being a "Trametes".
purpureo-fuscus, United States, Cooke = Polyporus gilvus.
pusillus, Mexico, Murrill = The name being preoccupied was changed by Mc-
Ginty to Polyporus pygmaeus.
Ramosii, Philippines, Murrill. Has same color, setae and spores as Polyporus
licnoides. Specimens are at Berlin and I have a cotype. How it differs from
licnoides I can not note.
repandus, Africa, Patouillard. Unknown to me. The description seems same
as secernibilis of Ceylon.
resinosus, Europe, Schrader. It is a guess at the best but I believe it is the
plant called Fomes laccatus in my Fomes pamphlet. Ouelet I think had it right.
Bresadola interprets it as being Fomes pinicola. Fries and in sense of American
custom it is Polyporus fuscus of this pamphlet which is not "resinous" and has no
resemblance to the plant that Schrader had, if either Bresadola, Quelet or myself
has rightly guessed it.
reticulata, Brazil, Fries (as Auricularia) is said to be a synonym for Polyporus
conchoides (cfr. Sacc, vol. 6, p. 403). I can not say to the contrary but I hardly
believe it. I never looked up the specimen at Upsala if it exists.
