LETTER No. 53.
Reports on specimens received since last report. My best thanks are
extended to those who have favored me with specimens.
In my printed letter I do not give authorities for names, believing that
the binomial should 'represent a plant name, but in acknowledging the
specimens to my correspondents I give the "authority" in event they desire
to use it. All specimens are acknowledged by private letter as soon as they
come into my hands. Foreign correspondents may send specimens to my
English address, and they will reach me promptly, although in countries
which have direct parcel post arrangements with the United States it is best
to send them by parcel post direct to me. Specimens may be sent to either
of the following addresses:
C. G. LLOYD, C. G. LLOYD,

Tremellodendron pallida. Polystictus conchifer (?) . Bulgaria inquinans.
BONANSEA, DR. SYLVIO F., Mexico:
Schizophyllum commune. Sent under four numbers, though all are
the same plant, and it is a common species in many countries, particularly
the United States. Dr. Bonansea reports it as comestible, which it no
doubt is, but it is not eaten in the United States, and it appears to me it
would be too tough to relish. It is known in Mexico as Hongo de quia
pinola, Hongo de Pale mulato, Hongo de Jobo, and Hongo de toto poste.
Trametes hispida, called in Mexico Hongo del sanz.
Polyporus secernibilis. This is the first collection I have seen from
the American regions. On comparison it is exactly same as type from
Ceylon.
Polystictus Friesii. Polystictus elongatus. Stereum lobatum (=S.
fasciatum, Schw.). Stereum versicolor. true (see Note 159). Polystictus
azureus. Originally from Mexico. Polyporus scruposus*. Polyporus Hook-
erii (see Note 160). Stereum complicatum.
