Additional Philippine Poiyporaceae 



William Alphonso Murrill 



A list of Philippine polypores recently added to the herbarium 

 of the New York Botanical Garden was published in this journal 

 about a year ago (Bull. Torrey Club 34 : 465-481. 1907). In 

 April, 1908, a large and valuable shipment of Philippine fungi, 

 637 packets in all, was received for determination from the Bureau 

 of Science, Manila, through Mr. Elmer D. Merrill, botanist. 

 Most of these are duplicates and will become permanent additions 

 to the Garden herbarium, but a few, not in duplicate, will be re- 

 turned to Manila. The following list includes the pileate poly- 

 pores of this collection, arranged in alphabetical order under their 

 tribes. 



The localities here included are very varied, representing a large 

 number of the islands and many different altitudes and latitudes. 

 The principal collectors are as follows : Messrs. Elmer D. Merrill, 

 A. D. K. Elmer, E. B. Copeland, H. M. Curran, M. L. Merritt, H. 

 N. Whitford, Eugenio Fenix, Maximo Ramos, L. Mangubat, and 

 Mrs. Mary S. Clemens. Private numbers or letters follow the name 

 of the collector, those given in parenthesis being assigned by the 

 Bureau of Science or the Bureau of Forestry. Synonyms listed 

 in my former paper are not repeated here except in connection 

 with discussions relative to additional knowledge or notes of 

 interest.
