Obs. Sporae laeves, 8—10 = 5—6, demum apice truncatae; 
contextus hymenii ex hyphis 11/;—4"/,, pilei 11/7 fulvis. A typo 
europeo nulla nota diversum, a Ganod. australi Fr. colore laetiori, 
contexu cinnamomeo et sporis aliquantulum majoribus etc. bene 
distinctum. Pileus primitus semper e pulvere ferrugineo conspersus, 
qui e conidiis ejusdem formae et dimensionis basidiosporarum 
constat. 
Polypori nigro-laccati Cooke duo extant in Herbario Kew 
specimina typica ex Insula Mauritius sub n 2, unum huc ducen- 
dum, sc. specimen junicr, alter vetustum, pileo nigricante, ad Gano-

Obs. Sporae fuscidulae, apice demum truncatae, laeves, T7—9 
= 41/,—6, generatim 7—8 = 4/55 #5 hyphae contextus hymenü 
11/,—4/, a; pilei 11/,—5, raro ad ramificationem 6 z. Cutis pilei

Polyporus australe Fr. species est valde proxima, sed satis 
distincta, sc. sporis, generatim punctato-scabris, Um: 7-8 Mm 
hyphis hymenii 11/;—4!/,, interdum usque ad 6 «, pilei 39T, u 
et colore contextus pilei etiam saturatiore. 
Species haec valde rara, in insulis oceani pacifici, juxta Americam 
occidentalem hucusque obvia. Fomes scansilis Berk., ex insula 
Juan Fernandes, est forma albinea hujus species et specimina edita 
sub nomine Fomes applanatus Pers. in Baker: Pacific Slope Fungi, 
no. 339, ad formam typicam G@anodermatis australis Fr. e contra 
pertinent. Fomes chilensis Fr. quoque huc ceu synonymon est 
referendus.
