SECTION GANODERMUS. 



3- SPORES DISTINCTLY ROUGH. 



OCHROLACCATUS (Fig. 400) .-Pileus small but deep, attached 

 by a short rudimentary, dorsal stem. Crust pale, ochraccns faintlv 

 laccate rugulose zoned. Pores medium with white mouths, long, not 

 stratified but reaching the crust, very regular, arranged in lines. Spores 

 large, 16x32 (!), with small apiculus, distinctly rough A strongly 

 distinct species, very rare and known only from the Philippines Types 

 at Pans and at Kew and the British Museum. These collections which 

 are surely the same species vary some in external appearance The 

 type at Paris is our figure 400. That at Kew is almost white with a 

 dull surface. That in the British Museum is sessile and has a pale 

 smooth, shiny crust as if waxed but not laccate. 



Fig. 400 

 Ganodermus ochrolaccatus (pores enlarged X6). 



PLACOPUS. Pileus with an intense black, shining, laccate sur- 

 face, becoming dull in old specimens. Stipe lateral, with similar crust. 

 A small species, thin, an inch or two in diameter. Spores 8x12, 

 distinctly rough. Only known to me from Bresadola's naming from 

 Java at Leiden. As I have found no types in any of the museums, I 

 judge his determination was made from the description only. 



EMINI (Fig. 402). Pileus small, usually pleuropodal, rarely 

 mesopodal. Stipe long, with black, strongly laccate. smooth crust, 

 rooting at the base. Spores large with distinct apiculus 20 x 28, rough. 

 The pileus is not as strongly laccate as the stipe. A marked species 

 known from abundant types at Berlin from Africa. 



HENNINGSII (Fig. 401). Pileus and stem strongly laccate, 

 smooth, dark. Pileus 3-4 inches in diameter with a mesopodal, rooting 

 stem. Pores small, pale. Spores zox 12, rough, subglobose, but dis- 

 tinctly apiculate. Known from one collection at Berlin from Africa, 

 made by Stuhlman and confused by Hennings with the preceding.
