Notes. 



]\Iorgan lists L. lecomtei Fr. and L. strigosus Fr. He later 

 decided that the plants so referred were species of Panus (P. 

 rudis Fr.). 



L. caespitosus Berk., reported by Lea and Morgan is not a 

 Lentinus. Pleurotus caespitosus B. & C. is another name for the 

 same plants. Lloyd believes it is the plant now known as Clito- 

 cybe monadelpha Morg. and the description bears out the opinion. 



Peck separated L. spretus from L. lepideus because the 

 lamellae are not sinuate and the spores are smaller. A collection 

 was made at Oxford in 19 10.
