This appears to be a case where the variety is much more 
widely known than the species. It is certainly much the com- 
moner in the Philippines. While the species, so far as is at present 
known, seems to be quite rare in the Islands, the variety is one of 
the most common of this group of plants. The three collections 
enumerated above indicate range rather than prevalence. Ber- 
keley’s species, Stereum perlatum, was originally described from 
Philippine material. 
Reported from the West Indies, Guiana, Brazil, Cochin China, 
Sumatra, and generally throughout the East Indies.
