610 MurRRILL: POLYPORACEAE OF NORTH AMERICA 
The great abundance and striking appearance of this species 
account for the attention which it has received, but should tend 
rather to lessen than to increase the list of synonyms. Every 
expedition to the southern states or the West Indies discovers 
quantities of it. The following list of specimens will indicate its 
range: Florida, Martin, Calkins, Small & Carter 1319, 7331, 
1332, 1351; Britton 127, 128, 343, 366, 448, 477, Louisiana, 
Langlois 1280; Cuba, Underwood & Earle 374, 1524, 153%, 
1538; Porto Rico, Earle 30, 52, Underwood, Wilson 114; 
Haiti, Nash 24; Jamaica, Earle 200, 4256, 189, 619; Yucatan, 
Millspaugh ; Colombia, Baker ; Nicaragua, Smith, Shimek; Mex- 
ico, S7zth,

Investigation had indicated that this species also was synonymous 
with P. hydnoides, but the recent discovery of a large-pored 
specimen by Small and Nash on Totten’s Key, Florida, reopens 
the question and further comparison and probably more material 
will be necessary in order to settle it satisfactorily. The evanes- 
cent membrane mentioned by the authors in connection with this 
species appears to be present also in ?. hydnoides and cannot serve 
as a distinguishing character.
