92 Murrill: Polyporaceae of North America 



nym, Is based upon collections made in the West Indies, Costa 

 Rica and Mexico, in which the sporophores are sessile at the cen- 

 ter, with pores decurrent to the base. 



Other species, either synonymous or closely related to those 

 above described, but purposely kept separate at this time from 

 North American forms are as follows : 



Daedalea mnaiiitoides Palis, de Beauv. Fl. Owar. I : 44, pi. 2^, 

 1804, Daedalea Palisoti Fr. Syst. I : 335. 1821. Lenzites Pali- 

 soti Fr. Epicr. 404. 1838. Afzel. Fung. Guin. i : //. //, f. 2j. a^ 



b. The species was described from Oware, growing on trunks. I 

 know of no reason for changing the specific name to Palisoti. 



Daedalea repandaY^x^. Freyc. Voy. 168. 1826. Mont. Cuba 

 382. pL //. /. ^. 1842. Lenzites repanda Fr. Epicr. 404. 1838. 

 (Not Agariens repandiis Bull.) Described from the island of 

 Rawak as " D. latissima albido-pallens, pileo glabro zonato mar- 

 gine repando, sinulis angustis densis, margine subdentatis.*' Mon- 

 tagne adopts the name for Cuban specimens and cites D. polita^ 

 D, deplanata, D. laevis^ D. applafiafa, D. Palisoti and D. indiea as 

 synonyms. He appears to have given considerable attention to 

 the various forms in Cuba with reference to growth and variation. 



Daedalea polita Fr. Linnaea 5 : 514. 1830. Lenzites polita Fr. 

 Epicr. 404. 1838. Described from specimens in the herbarium 

 of Willdenow collected by Bory on Bourbon, or Reunion, Island. 

 The type in Fries' herbarium has the exact contour of A. Aescnli, 

 but is thinner. The surface is like that of A. Aescttli, but the 

 pores are more like those of ^. dcplanatiis. 



Daedalea applanata Kl. Linnaea 8: 481. 1833. Lenzites 

 applanta Fr. Epicr. 404. 1838. Collected on trunks in the island 

 of Mauritius by Telfair and described from the herbarium of 



ft 



Hooker. The author questions if it is not D. deplanata Fr. or D. 

 polita Fr. 



Poly poms (Trametes) lactiimts Berk. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 

 10: Suppl. 373. 1843. Described from specimens collected by 

 Koenig In Ceylon and named by him in herbarium ''Boletus lac- 

 tens:' Berkeley does not distinguish it from forms found in the 

 West Indies.
