ought to have a separate name, and probably has several. In France it Is 

 usually called Trametes Bulliardil or Trametes rubescens. In America 

 it has many names (cfr. Peck's 30th Report). I believe most mycologists 

 now call it Daedalea confragosa, though that species is reported to have 

 "ferruginous" context, and the old plates so referred do not seem to be our 

 plant. 



Daedalea Juniperina. Always called by Professor Ellis "Daedalea Kan- 

 sensis, E. & E.," though I believe not published. The specific name "Juni- 

 perina" is much more suitable for it, but it would require more than date 

 dictionary evidence to convince me it is an "Agaricus" as recently stated. 



Daedalea unicolor. A very common plant and quite variable at differ- 

 ent ages as to color, hence the name is not always appropriate. 



Daedalea quercina. Very common, especially in chestnut oak regions. 

 It does not grow at Cincinnati on the red or white oaks. In Sweden 

 it is also common. Some one has recently discovered that it should be 

 called Agaricus (sic) quercinus, which is the source of much amusement, and 

 I have heard a number of mycologists in Europe making sport of it. 



Favolus europaeus. I learned this plant as Favolus Canadensis, 

 but when I sent it to Europe (Cfr. Myc. Notes, p. 59) and learned that it 

 grew in Europe, and was there called Favolus europaeus, I employed that 

 name. It has the advantage of having been adopted by Fries, though neither 

 name is very appropriate for a plant that grows in both codntries, and 

 Canadensis is "prior." 



Femes carneus. This is readily recognized by the rose color of the 

 cortex. Whether Fomes roseus is the same, as is claimed by some and dis- 

 puted by others, I do not know. It always grows on coniferous wood. 



Fomes Curtis!!. This plant has more of a Southern range, though I 

 frequently get it from New Jersey. It is claimed to be only an unvarnished 

 form of P'omes lucidus, but has always appeared to me very distinct. 



Fomes fomentarius. Fries states it is common on beech. I think it 

 does not occur at Cincinnati, where the beech is very prevalent. I have 

 only collected it on birch, both in the United States and Sweden^ 



Fomes fraxinophilus. Grows only on ash, and not in Europe. Fomes 

 uimarius of Europe, which McBride suggests may be the same, is widely 

 different. 



Fomes fulvus. Found by me frequently at Cincinnati, only on the wild 

 or "Chickasaw" plums. Recorded also on related trees, peach and cherry. 

 It was determined for me by American mycologists as "Fomes supinus," and 

 by Bresadola as "Fomes fulvus, Scop, not Fries." From its habitat it can 

 not be "Fomes fulvus" of Fries's latest work, but I do not know what name 

 he called it. 



Fomes ignarius. In Sweden the most common Fomes on deciduous 

 wood, but otherwise has no choice of host. It is likewise common in the 

 United States. 



Fomes leucophaeus. The very commonest , Fomes in our country. It 

 is so close to Fomes applanatus of Europe that I do not believe that any 

 one would note the difference on a casual examination of the two plants, 

 and it is not strange that the plant has been universally called Fomea
