Related Plants. 



There are a number of related plants with coats of coarse hairs on the 

 pileus that have been included in the section Funales. I think, however, the 

 section should be restricted practically to the two species leoninus and tricho- 

 mallus where the context is replaced by this dense layer of matted hairs. We 

 would include in another section those species in which the hairs are more 

 on the surface, such as cladotrichus, aculeifer, versatilis, philippinensis, ozonioides, 

 etc. Sometimes these plants are called Trametes and sometimes Polystictus. 

 We think no one really knows what a Trametes is, and a Polystictus is a thin 

 Trametes.

SYNONYMS AND MISPLACED SPECIES. 



We list here all those species that have been referred to the section Funales, 

 though a number do not belong to it. While we give the authors responsible 

 for the "species," it must not be inferred that they are always responsible for 

 the plants being put in Funales. In most instances that was done by others. 



aculeifer, Cuba, Berkeley. I think it is better classed in Polystictus, sec- 

 tion Hirtus. 



andina, South America, Patouillard, same remarks. 



endothrix, Brazil, Berkeley=trichomallus, based on a single thick specimen, 

 surely the same as trichomallus. Type at Kew. 



ciliata, Klotzsch, Philippines=Polystictus versatilis. Type at Berlin. 



cilicioides, Philippines, Friesi=Polystictus versatilis and based on the same 

 collection. Type at Upsala. 



cladotrichus, Cuba, Berkeley, better classed in section Hirtus. 



Fergusoni, Africa, Cooke=Trametes hispida. Type at Kew. 



funalis, Africa, Fries= Polystictus leoninus. In the museums the plant is 

 usually known under this name. Type at Upsala. 



hispidula, Cuba, Berkeley, only "known from the type locality" and not 

 well known from there as the types are small and unsatisfactory. Probably 

 Trametes hispida, I think. Type at Kew. 



holophaeus, Europe, Montagne= Polyporus Schweinitzii. Type at Paris, 

 also co-type at Kew. 



leonotus, Australia, Kalchbrenner. No authentic material known to me. A 

 specimen so labeled in a jar in the Museum at Upsala, but the determination is 

 doubtful, as is the species. 



Lindheimeri, United States (Texas), Berkeley=Polystictus stupeus. A good 

 type is at Kew, and our figure 355 of stupeus is made from this specimen. 



ozonioides, India, Berkeley, better classed in the section Hirtus. 



Peckii, United States, Kalchbrenner. It is not a synonym for Polystictus 

 stupeus as recently stated, but is a synonym for Trametes hispida, a common 

 plant in the United States, but not compiled in N. A. F., other than this mis- 

 reference to stupeus. Peckii is exactly the same plant as hispida of Europe 

 and a different plant in my opinion from stupeus, in not having branched, 

 compound hairs on the pileus. That stupeus and hispida may run into each 

 other I think probable, but stupeus does not occur in Europe and hispida (or 

 Peckii) is common in Europe. Type of Peckii at Berlin.
