Luzon: Province of Laguna, Los Bafios, October, 1912, Baker 
297, growing on decaying wood in the forest. 
This species was first described by Persoon from material 
collected by Gaudichaud-Beaupré, of the Freycinet Expedition, on 
his visit to Guam in the Marianne Islands during the month of 
March, 1819. It has been considered by Schumann and Lauter- 
bach* as a synonym of Polyporus Kamphoveneri, and by Murrillt 
as identical with P. corrugatus, originally described by Persoon 
from material collected at the same locality and time. It seems, 
however, that the material preserved in the Paris Museum tallies 
more closely with Berkeley’s species, P. anebus, from Ceylon than 
with either of these two. 
As far as at present known the species range includes Africa, 
Ceylon, Japan and numerous islands of the Pacific. 
POLYPORUS OSTREIFORMIS Berk. Jour. Linn. Soc. Bot. 16: 46. 
1878. 
Luzon: vicinity of Manila, October, 1912, P. W. Graff, Bur. 
Sci. 16795, growing from a wound on Enterolobium Saman 
(Pithecolobium). 
This collection is of interest as being the first made since the 
type material was gathered by the “Challenger Expedition” in 
February, 1875. The color of both upper and lower surface is a 
grey-white and the fungus has a slightly foetid odor when fresh. 
The species has been collected only in the Philippines.
