RICK, REV., Brazil: 



Twelve species of Polystictus Ten species of Polyporua Polyatlc- 

 tus, with peculiar olive context and belongs close to aratus. The hymenial ele- 

 ments are white and spores also, I think. Polystictus lodinus tending toward 

 tabacinum Polyporus labeled "Fomes rufitincta." Two species of Fomea. 

 Also Fomes which looks like "plebius," as determined at Kew from Brazil 

 and Cuba, but surely not the type from India. Polystictus (cfr. membrana- 

 ceus). Polyporus valenzuelianus (= sapinus (?) ) (= hemlleucus) 

 Polystictus rigida Polystictus "mutabilis p. p." I take mutabilis In another 

 sense, but I think this was one of the "types." Polyporus (salignus. I guess). 

 Polyporus. There exists no specimen of "Fomes leprosus Fr." as Rev. Rick 

 determined this collection. Polyporus (I think lignosus Klotz. etc.) Daeda- 

 lea Polyporus. The rose color when young, changing to bay. I presume is 

 the character of this plant. It seems to me to answer to Montague's descrip- 

 tion of Polyporus phaeoporus of which a little frustule at Kew is all that 

 exists. It may also have been "Feei," of which no type is known. Fomea 

 with white, then adustus context. I have seen it at Kew, but can not find it 

 now. Polystictus, labeled Polystictus roseolus Rick (Published (?) ) Poly- 

 stictus. I have seen it at Kew. 



ROBERT, DOCTEUR, France: 



Fomes applanatus Stereum hirsutum "specimen on Pinus halepen- 

 sis." Received as "Polyporus conchatus," surely not. 



ROLFS, P. H., Florida: 



Polyporus gilvus. Form with a dark hymenium. Setae abundant 



ROUSSEAU, MADAME, Belgium: 



All but one or two as named by Madame Rousseau. Scbizophyllum 

 commune Merulius corium Merulius rufus Poria sanguinolenta Poria 

 callosa Poria aurantiaca Poria ferruginosa Poria vitrea Polyporus uni- 

 bellatus. Sclerotium, or rather I think a tuberous rhizome. Fomea poraa- 

 ceu s Daedalea unicolor Polystictus abietinus Polyporus adustus Fomea 

 applanatus Merulius himantioides (?) Loosely adherent with a white sub- 

 iculum. Spores abundant, 5 x 10, deeply colored. Merulius tremellosus Geaa- 

 ter Schmidelii Lenzites saepiaria Polyporus amorphus Polystictus hir- 

 sutus. 



SCHUMO, S. L., Pennsylvania: 



From Newfoundland, Polyporus albellus. 



From New Jersey, Fomes graveolens Phlebia radiata Phallus Ra- 

 venelii. 



From North Carolina, Polystictus perennis (?) More obese, more 

 strongly velutinate and brighter color than the usual form. It comes closer 

 to perennis, however, than any other of our American speclea. I could eaally 

 claim it as a "new species." Crucibulum vulgare Contdlal Xylaria 1 

 stictus cinnabarinus Thelephora Schweinitzii Fuligo varlana Polyporui 

 gilvus Lenzites betulina Polystictus pergamenus Stereum serlceum
