Ganoderma Curranii Murr. Bull. Torrey Club 35: 411. 1908. 
This species was first collected in the Philippines by Dr. H. 
M. Curran in the forest on Mount Mariveles, Bataan Province, 
Luzon, and described as a new species, Ganoderma Curranii, by 
Murrill. The fungus was originally described by Persoon from 
material collected by Gaudichaud-Beaupré on the island of Rawak, 
and shortly after redescribed by Fries from material collected by 
Afzelius in Sierra Leone. Later Bresadola and Patouillard de- 
scribed and figured the species from Samoan material and sug- 
gested its possible identity with Polyporus rugosus var. guineensis 
Fr. The plates of both Persoon and Patouillard give an excellent 
idea of the fungus, which belongs to the Amauroderma section of 
the genus Ganoderma.
