that I am more than glad to get, as the only other specimen known is
the type at Kew. As to macroscopic characters, the color, the smooth but
rugulose surface and crust, the mesopodial, smooth but dull stem, the pale
context, it agrees with the type. The spores on the type are colored, globose,
and rough, but they impressed me and I believe them to be (as I have published)
conidial spores. The spores of this specimen are normal, basidial
spores (sans doubt). They are subglobose (8x10), colored strongly rough,
and typically the spores of the section Amaurodermus. This is a most
peculiar species, the only one in the section Amaurodermus (or other sections
as far as I can recall) that has a white context and colored spores. Many
species have colored context and white spores, but the reverse is a rare case.
Polystictus occidentalis. Stereum (Hymenochaete) damaecorne. Polyporus
(Amaurodermus) angustus. Polyporus licnoides. Hexagona varie-
gata. Polystictus pinsitus. Polyporus Blanchetianus. Trametes hydnoides.
Stereum (Hymenochaete) papyrinum?
FETCH, PROF. T., Ceylon (r) :
Fomes Caryophylli. Polyporus (sp.). Lenzites betulina. Stereum
ostrea, named by Professor Fetch.
Hexagona elegans. These specimens are thinner than the type, as I
remember it. Also they have a reddish stain, not noticed by me, on the
type. The reference is not sure.
Fomes robustus var. setelatus, resupinate. Fomes (Ganodermus) leu-
cophaeus. Polyporus semilaccatus. Polyporus zonalis ?
Polystictus elongatus. The fresh specimens have pale pores, no
violaceous tint, otherwise same as Polystictus pergamenus, so common
in America. Fomes pectinatus. Agreeing with type from India, but the
records of this plant in Europe are all erroneous. Polyporus gilvus.
Trametes (or Polystictus) lutescens. Polystictus pictilis?? Polyporus
Blanchetianus. Polyporus arcularius.
Fomes adamantinus var. setiferus, as I shall call it. This is a most
common species throughout the East, same as the type specimen of Fomes
adamantinus at Kew, except the common form has setae (not found on the
type) =Fomes melanodermus, which is the name Bresadola uses. Murrill
has three names for it (all wrong), Fomes lamaensis n. s., Fomes Williamsii
n. s., afterwards referred by him to endotheius, with which it has not a
character in common.
Trametes Persoonii, form differing from ordinary in not being colored
on top, but this common species does not always have the usual color of
pileus top developed.
Fomes robustus var. setelatus, as I shall call it. Absolutely same as
Fomes robustus, of Europe, in every particular except having very abundant
inflated setae on the hymenium, which are absent in the European species.
Polyporus ochroleucus, readily known by its large, truncate, hyaline
spores. It turns black when old, and the spores of a black specimen I find
to be pale colored. Is Polyporus ochroleucus a Ganodermus ivhen old?
