 is convenient for a resupinate "species" so claimed.

History. A frequent plant in the Philippines, India, Ceylon, and Australia, 

 and as found in the museums usually called Hexagona Wightii. At Berlin 

 there is a specimen from New Guinea and one from Guadeloupe. Linnaeus 

 named something (none knew what) Boletus favus which came from China, 

 and was evidently a Hexagona and probably this plant. 10 The first specimen 



9 This is the only specimen from an American station, but the plant is not included in 

 N. A. F., which professes to include all West Indian species. Owing to the superficial work 

 done by the author in the museums of Europe, he probably never saw the specimen. 



10 The specimen does not exist in the Linnaean herbarium, though there is in the herba- 

 rium a specimen of Hexagona tenuis named "Boletus favus, Linn." by Dickson, many years 

 after Linnaeus died.
