SECTION PETALOIUES. 



26. POLYSTICTUS. WHITE SPECIES. 



CONCH IFER. Pileus white, with a short, lateral stem Hear- 

 ing: usually secondary, abortive pilei. For a full account see Poly- 

 poroid Issue page 41. A common plant, always on elm branches in 

 the United States. 



N * e ~ number of species of Polystictus such as the form elongatuo of pergamtniu have the 

 pilei usually reduced to an attenuate base and might be sought in this section. 



Note. Glabernmus, South America, Montague (as Irpex) and nepalensis India Berkeley .,.,,1 Pocoi 

 Japan, Berkeley each known from a single collection, have short, lateral sir,,,;. ,,,| would b? sought h 

 Ulaberrimus is close to hiformis as to it pores. The types of nepalensis are quite |Kmr and it mav he the 

 same as glabernmus. Pocos has hirsute pileus and medium large pores.

 hence I can not refer it at present.

SYNONYMS AND REJECTED SPECIKS. 



Adami, Ceylon, Cookc. Change of dilatus (bis) which is ohovatus. 



albo-cervinus, Brazil, Berkeley=modestus. This is the name generally used 

 by Berkeley, who took modestus correctly at first but afterwards changed on 

 the evidence of a specimen in Kunze's exsiccatae which is not the same as the 

 specimen in the same exsiccatae at Upsala. 



anisoporus, Europe, Montagne. Type inadequate, probably a little, unde- 

 veloped specimen of Favolus europaeus. 



annularius, Java, Fries. Merely an unauthorized and unnecessary change 

 of annulatus of Junghuhn. 



apophysatus, Europe, Rostkovius. Only known from an old picture which 

 is probably something abnormal. 



atro-cervinus, Brazil. Error in Saccardo for albo-cervinus. 



atypus, Java, Leveille. No type exists as far as I could find at Leiden. In 

 the sense of Bresadola it is brunneolus. Determinations of Murrill are largely 

 rubidus. 



aurora, Borneo, Cesati (as Trametes). Not seen by me, but stated by Mur 

 rill to be a synonym for atypus, in which case it is probably rubidus, as many 

 of MurrilPs determinations of atypus are. 



bomfinensis, Brazil, Hennings (as Fomes, sic )= Polystictus mutabihs.
