 Australia, Daedalea flabellum from Andaman Islands, Daedalea ochracea from 

 India, Daedalea sub-confragosa from the Philippines, Lenzites Guilfoylei from 

 Australia, Lenzites ochrophyllus from India. 



The old mycologists took the "genera" Trametes, Daedalca, Lenzites, etc., 

 literally, and based a new species on almost every specimen of this plant in 

 every hymenial form that reached them. When the science of mycology gets 

 beyond its "new species" babyhood, and workers take a broader view of species 

 than single "type" collections, then I believe all the species I have mentioned 

 will be held to be the same plant. I call it in this paper Hexagona ochroleuca, 

 but were I writing on Trametes it would be Trametes ochroleucum. The 

 same applies to Daedalea, Lenzites, or Irpex. I think its better name is as 

 Lenzites to correspond with its usual hymenial form, and the equally poly- 

 morphic Lenzites repanda.

HEXAGOXA VESPACEA (Fig. 320). This may- 

 be -exactly the same plant as macrotrema. It was one 

 of the early Persoonian names (1826) and came from 

 the island of Rawak. No other collection has ever been 

 referred to Persoon's name, and the original collection 

 is only known from two little specimens, one at Paris 

 (Fig. 320), another in Persoon's herbarium at Leiden. 

 These are thinner than specimens of the preceding spe- 

 cies, and darker, though the dark color may be due to 

 age. Persoon described them as smooth, but that they 

 are somewhat pubescent can be seen from our photo- 

 graph. (Fig. 320.) 



HEXAGONA SEURATI (Fig. 321). Context surface and pores 

 unicolorous, pale alutaceus or isabelline. Context soft, homogeneous

with the pores. Surface smooth, no distinct crust. Pores large, shal 

 low, many superficial. 



This species is known only from one collection (Fig. 321) ' t t 

 of Professor Patouillard. It came from Ra.atea, one of the Society 



HEXAGONA AEQUALIS (Fig. 3 22).-Xo better description of this can 

 be given than to say that it is a hexagonal, trop.cal form of Daeda ea quercnw. 

 The color, context, surface, everything, is exactly the same as 1
