SECTION GANODERMUS. 



formosissimus. South America, Spegazzini. Only known to me from Rick's 

 determination, which (teste Bresadola) is the same as renidens. 



Haenslerianus, New Zealand, Hennings. No specimen found by me at 

 Berlin. 



incrustatus, Central America, Fries. No type exists. 



Javanicus Java, Leveille. Type at Leiden in very bad condition, but I think 

 belongs to the section Ganodermus and has no relation whatever to Polyporus 

 varius, of which it was given as a "variety" by Leveille. 



neglectus, Central America, Patouillard. Type is a mere fragment from 

 which little can be told. The species was based on large, globose spores, which 

 are not the normal spores of the plant. The basidial spores are typically those 

 of the section Ganodermus (not Amaurodermus, as named). 



nutans, Central America, Fries. No type exists and its identity is unknown. 

 The determinations at Paris, Berlin, and London are all different from each 

 other and all are probably wrong. Murrill's elaborate account was only worked 

 up from Fries. He tells "spores not examined," which was not strange as he 

 never saw an authentic specimen, and I do not see how he could have examined 

 the spores of a specimen he never saw. 



perzonatus, Cuba, Murrill. Unknown. 



Pes-simiae, Brazil, Berkeley. No type exists. From the description it seems 

 to be Pisachapani. 



praelongus, Cuba, Murrill. Unknown. 



pulyerulentus, West Indies, Murrill. Unknown. 



stipitatus, Central America, Murrill. Unknown. 



subamboinensis, Brazil, Hennings. Same as Lauterbachii, and both are 

 but tropical forms of lucidus. 



subfornicatus, Central America, Murrill. Unknown. 



subincrustatus, West Indies. Murrill. Unknown. 



Tsugae, United States, Murrill. Same as the common Polyporus lucidus of 

 Europe, the distinction given being that it has paler context and that Polyporus 

 lucidus has "one to many-layered strata varying in distinctness," all of which 

 was chiefly imagination on the part of the author. Polyporus lucidus is an 

 annual and never has strata of pores, though as it has been called "Fomes" 

 Mr. Murrill was undoubtedly right in thinking if it did not have strata it ought 

 to have. As to the paler context the same form had been named Valesiacus in 

 Europe, but it is not even a distinct form of lucidus.
