NOTE 295. Thelephora Americana, from W. E. Barker, New Zealand, as I had
expected to publish it, should I publish a pamphlet I have now prepared on the genus
Thelephora. It is Thelephora intybacea of Prof. Eurt's recent paper, not of Europe, as
far as I can learn, and certainly not of Fries.
NOTE 296. Polystictus fimbriatus, from Dr. R. P. Burke, Alabama. The finest
specimens I ever saw and the hymenium well developed and surely a polyporoid. Owing
to the varying developments of the hymenium it has been classed in six different genera
and discovered eight different times to be a new species. The tropical forms are thinner,
more lacerate, and hymenium tends more towards Hydnum. At Berlin the type of "Thelephora"
multifida from Porto Rico has the hymenium but little developed, but there is
another specimen from Porto Rico (also at Berlin) which could be classed as a Hydnum.
it has several times been named as "Hydnum," all the "types" tend more to
Although
Polystictus. We would class the various synonyms as follows:
Polystictus fhnbriatus (type at Upsala), Synonyms, Polyporus Warmingii, Brazil ;
Craterellus sparassioides, So. America : Baccariella caespitosa, Brazil.
The thin, tropical, lacerate form might be called Polystictus multifidus (type at Berlin
as Thelephora). Synonyms, Hydnum palmatum, So. America; Boletus pavonius, So.
America, (In Saccardo as Polystictus, type preserved at Kew as Hydnum.) Hydnum
plumarium, Cuba.
Of the eight different names under which the plant masquerades in the various
museums of Europe, Banker in his recent "exhaustive" investigations found two of them
and neither very "prior."
NOTE 297. Fomes scutellatus, from Dr. J. B. Cleland, Australia. Exactly same
macroscopically, but probably not same as to spores, and in that case unnamed. Spores
are abundant ; elliptical, 6-7x7-81^ subhyaliue opaque, smooth. The spores of Fomes
scutellatus are unknown to me, never being able to find them in dried specimens, which
would indicate that it was not same as Australian plant. Fomes scutellatus is not surely
known excepting from the United States.
NOTE 298. Radulum Neilgherrense, from Dr. J. B. Cleland, Australia. I think this
is the first record of this species from Australia, although assuming it is the same as
Radulum mirabile, which it probably is, it is common in Africa and the East, but absent
from American flora. It is no doubt common in Australia. Although there is some
difference in the hymen ial configuration, as shown by my photographs of the types, I
believe in the end that the following will all be held to be the same species. Radulum
mirabile, Ceylon ; R&dulum lirellosuin, Africa ; Radulum Emerici and Radulum Neiljrherrense,
India, and Radulum Javanicum, Java. As the plant has abundant cystidia it
was discovered to ba a "new genus" and called Lopharia, also Thwaitesiella. (Cfr.
Note 163. Letter 53).
NOTE 299. Sterenm obscurum, from Dr. J. B. Cleland, Australia. This can be held
as a variety of Stereum spadiceum with which it agrees in bleeding hymenium, colored
ducts, and all features excepting the surface hairs. They are dark (Mummy) brown,
almost black instead of the light brown of the European form. This contrast of color
makes the plant appear quite different, but in the essentials they are practically the same.
