2 Mededeelingen van ’s Rijks Herbarium Leiden: 
There is no trouble in identifying JUNGHUHN’s types for he labeled 
each in his peculiar writing. 
For many years under the old directors the mycological speci- 
mens were neglected in the museum at Leiden, and many speci- 
mens were loose in drawers or put away in packages. When 1 first 
visited the museum it was not possible to work with any excepting 
those that were in the herbarium covers. A few vears ago Dr. JONG- 
MANS had the loose specimens all placed in boxes and numbered 
and the number that l cite refers to these boxes. 
When JUNGHUHN wrote on fungi several of the Polyporoid genera 
had not acquired definite meaning and it is a curious occurrence 
perhaps that of the six species of Favolus, Daedalea, Laschia and 
Merulius that JuNGHUHN named, not one of them would to-day be 
placed in the genus where JUNGHUHN placed them. [ will give here 
a short summary of the types of JUNGHUHN that 1 have been able 
to locate and the box or cover where they may be found. It was 
quite a task to hunt them out among the several hundred boxes 
of fungi from Java now in the museum. JUNGHUHN's types have a 
unique value that many other type specimens do not posses, for 
while BERKELEY, MONTAGNE, FRIES, LEVEILLE and many of the old 
namers of fungi distributed co-types to other museums, [ have 
never noted any of JUNGHUHN's specimens except at the museum 
at Leiden. 
affinis (as Merulius). Type in Hirneola cover. It is Hirneola 
delica which was originally published by Fries as Laschia delica. 
annulatus. Type not found by me, but JUNGHUEN gave such 
a good illustration that there is no question as to the species. I 
collected it in Samoa. 
asper. Good types in Polyporus cover. Good specimens also 
in ZOLLINGER's set No. 2080. It is a Trametes, in the same section 
as Trametes hydnordes. 
bicolor. Type in cover. also several collections in boxes. It 
seems to be a frequent plant in the East, marked with a brown 
spot that appears at the base of the pileus. BERKELEY called it Poly- 
porus anebus, and MurrirL discovered only recently that it was a 
„new species.” 
byssogena. Type in Box 107.* It is large pored, white Poria. 
It was published as byssogena but JUNGHUHN labeled his specimen 
byssoseda. 
eervino-gilvus. Type in cover. Beautifully illustrated by JunG- 
HUHN. Unfortunately it is the same as dermatodes which 1 believe 
is prior.
