flabellatum, Brazil, mss. at Kew (as Stereum) = Cladoderris dendritica, thin
form (viz., mcmbranacea).
formosa, Java, Leveille. Not seen by me, but said by the author sixty years
ago to be almost destroyed. From the description, surely only an infundibuliform
specimen of Cladoderris dendritica.
fusca, Brazil, Cooke, = dendritica, only a little more rigid than usual.
gausapata, France, Fries. In the original synopsis of the species of Cladoderris
Fries included this European species. It is a Stereum, as Fries afterwards
always classified it, and the same as Fries and most every one else called Stereum
spadiceum.
Glaziovii, Brazil, Hennings, =dendritica, "harder and more rigid," but same
species for me. =also fusca (above) and same collection.
Harrisii, Jamaica, mss. at Kew (as Stereum) =very thin form of Cladoderris
-dendritica, (viz. membranacea) with folds of the hymenium but little developed.
insignis, Borneo, Cesati (as Beccariella) = Cladoderris elegans. Cotype at Kew.
Kingiana, Malay, Massee (as Beccariella) = elegans (thin specimen).
minima, England, Berkeley. Not a Cladoderris, but a little Stereum. It is
only known from two collections from Rev. Stevenson. I cannot agree that "though
small, it has exactly the structure of the exotic species." There are no Cladoderris
species in temperate regions.
mussooriensis, India, Hennings. Not a Cladoderris, but a Stereum, Hennings
having evidently mistaken the top of the pileus for the hymenium. The hymenium
is perfectly smooth, and the plant has nothing whatever in common with Cladoderris.
The spores (abundant) are 5x6, hyaline, smooth (not echinulate, as stated
by Hennings).
paradoxa, Philippines, Leveille (as Thelephora, but classed as Cladoderris in
cover now). It is a Stereum and probably abnormal at that.
platensis, South America, Spegazzini. Unknown to me. Appears, from the
description to be thin form of dendritica, viz., membranacea.
Pritzelii, Australia, Hennings. Only known from one specimen at Berlin. In
its macroscopic characters same as spongiosa, but this specimen has no stem. The
hymenium has large metuloids (unknown to the author), hence a " Lloydella-Cladoderris."
Roccati, Africa, Mattirolo. Not seen by me, but from the description,
surely same as reached Cooke so abundantly from South Africa and which Cooke
referred to australica, but which I would refer to infundibuliformis, a smoother and
flabellate form.
Schumanniana, New Guinea, Hennings. Not found by me at Berlin, but said
to be in the "Exhibition department."
Thwaitesii, Ceylon, Berkeley. Type material (all known) very poor. Evidently
close to dendritica as to hymenium, but appears to have no tomentum layer. The
types are two little, spathulate plants. It will probably prove to be a good species
when known.
P. S.
Cladoderris membranacea. Our account on page 4 was written at Kew and we
took the name in the sense of Berkeley and the other specimen at Kew. If my
memory serves me right, there is a specimen at Kew supposed to be a cotype. At
Paris later we found an undoubted cotype. It is not the same as has been so taken
at Kew and in my opinion is not a Cladoderris.
