SECTION SPONGIOSUS. 



Fig. 460 

 SponRiosus Alberti 



SUB-BULBIPES. Imperfectly known from a half specimen at Berlin 

 from Brazil. It has a soft, spongy context and I judge from my photograph 

 a thin crust. Spores I did not find, but Hennings records them as globose, 

 3^2-4, light yellow. The plant may belong in Section 5 of Amaurodermus. 



SYNONYMS, REJECTED AND UNKNOWN SPECIES. 



abortivus, United States, Peck=distortus. 



acanthoides, Europe. In the sense of Fries=rufescens. In the sense of 

 Bulliard=poor picture of giganteus. 



benquetensis, Philippines, Murrill=circinatus. (?) 



biennis, Europe, Bulliard=rufescens. Often called Daedalca hiennis. 



conglobatus, Europe, Karsten. Unknown to me, but the description reads 

 much like distortus. 



dualis, United States. Peck. (Also Polyp. Issue, p. 4)=leporinus of Europe. 



hispidoides, United States, Peck=Schweinitzii. 



holophaeus, Europe, Montagne=Schweinitzii. 



Kalchbrenneri, Europe, Fries. Based on small specimen of tomentosus 

 now labeled perennis through error of R. Fries. 



Korthalsii, Java, Leveille. The type specimen appears to be a sessile form 

 of Polyporus sideroides, same spores, context, texture, and color. In other 

 namings of Leveille (viz., Zoll. 872) it is Fomes Harkarlii, which has no re- 

 lations whatever to the type at Leiden. 



maximus, Europe, Brotero. No one knows and no one doubts bi 

 equals Schweinitzii. 



Memmingeri, United States, Murrill. Unknown to me. Seems close to 

 Montagnei.
