SECTION PELLOPORUS. 



SYNONYMS, REJECTED AND UNKNOWN SPECIES. 



bulbipes, Australia, Fries. No type exists=oblectans, teste Fries, but he 

 claimed to have named it in manuscript first. 



carbonarius, Europe, Fries. Based on an old picture (Micheli) and un- 

 known. Said to have white pores, hence can not belong in this section. 



Cladonia, Australia, Berkeley. Types very young=oblectans, young, I think. 



connatus, United States, Schweinitz perennis. 



connatus, United States, most writers, =focicola. 



Ehrenreichii, Brazil, Hennings. Type inadequate. 



Euphprbiae, China, Patouillard. Unknown to me. 



fimbriatus, Europe, Bulliard=perennis. 



parvulus, British Columbia, Klotzsch=cinnamomeus. 



parvulus, United States, most authors=focicola. 



perdurans, Tasmania, Kalchbrenner. Nothing authentic has been seen by 

 me, but the determinations at Berlin are oblectans. 



peronatus, Europe, Schulzer. Only known from a drawing, showing a 

 volva (sic) surely inaccurate. 



proliferus, United States, Lloyd. Something abnormal. 



Salpincta, New Zealand, Cooke. Types inadequate. Probably an abnormal 

 oblectans. The illustration in the Handbook is largely made up. 



saxatilis, Europe, Britzelmayr. It is purely a waste of time to bother with 

 his work. 



scutellatus, Siberia, Borszczow. Seems from the description to be focicola 

 which, however, is not known excepting in America. 



scutiger, Europe, Kalchbrenner. Changed by Fries to Kalchbrenneri. It 

 was based on a small specimen of tomentosus. 



simillimus, United States, Peck. At best a form of perennis, but it is 

 not possible to maintain it even as a form. 



spathulatus, South America, Hooker. Type in two little fragments. It is 

 probably the same as multiformis. 



splendens, United States, Peck=cinnamomeus. 



subsericeus, United States, Peck cinnamomeus. 



Verae-crucis, Mexico, Cooke. Known from but one collection from Mexico 

 which I think on comparison is the same as Polyporus Cumingii, known only 

 from the Philippines. 



SECTION OVINUS. 



In the section Ovinus we give very scanty accounts, as the section has been 

 recently considered and illustrated in full by us in a separate pamphlet. Ovinus 

 embraces the thick, fleshy species of Polyporus with mesopodal or pleuropodal 

 or rarely lateral stems. 



38. WITH SCLEROTIUM. 



TUBERASTER. Sclerotium (false) of earth, agglutinate with 

 mycelium. Pores small, white. In Italy, Switzerland. 



GOETZII. Sclerotium small, 2-3 inches. Plant mesopodal. 

 Known from one specimen at Berlin from Africa. 



SAPUREMA. Sclerotium large, bearing several plants. Speci- 

 men in alcohol at Berlin from Brazil.
