This species belongs to the ‘‘Polystictus perula group”’ and, 
with P. xanthopus, P. luteus, P. macroloma, P. flabelliformis and 
several others, goes to make up a series whieh is much confused 
in the literature of tropical fungi. Fortunately, however, while 
this confusion exists in the identification of these species, none 
of them are overburdened with synonyms- 
Of very common distribution throughout the Asiatic tropics 
and the East Indies.
