LETTER No. 32. 



List of determinations made at Kew. Most of these specimens were 

 received by me at Paris, but I desired to work further with them before 

 naming them. All concerning which I had any doubt whatever were sent to 

 Rev. Bresadola, who I think has the best critical knowledge of Polyporoid 

 species. In those cases where our views do not coincide, I give both. A 

 number of specimens have reached me that I do not find to be named. I do 

 not name them but indicate them, and would much prefer that the corre- 

 spondent who sent the specimen would name and publish it. When this is 

 done I hope I shall be advised so that I can adopt the name published. I 

 prefer to name species only when writing systematically on the subject, 

 and only in the event that they are not otherwise named. 



April, 1911. C. G. LLOYD. 



RICK, REV. J., Brazil: 



Polyporus lentinoides as named by Hennings as a variety of Poly- 

 porus squamosus. I think it is a smooth, firm form of the European spe- 

 cies, but worthy of a separate name. 



CAVE, G. H., India, (No. 12): 



For me this is unnamed, and I will call it in a forthcoming publica- 

 tion on the stipitate polyporoids, Polyporus subvirgatus. It is close to 

 Polyporus virgatus of the American tropics. Teste Bresadola it is too 



close to dictyopus. 



CAVE, G. H., India, (No. 3): 



Polyporus aquosus as named by Hennings, and Polypor 

 toides by Berkeley. I shall use Hennings' name, as Berkeley's has no meai 

 ing in connection with the plant. Both were from Brazil. 

 Mr. Cave's plant is the same as the American species, but it is close 

 fresh it is soft, fleshy, and watery, probably white. Spores 

 plant are 6-8 x 14-16. Not found in either collection from Brazil. 



RICK, REV. J., Brazil: 



A thin, tropical form of Polyporus squamosus which- m 

 special name. It is quite different from fusco-maculatus 

 labeled. 



O'CONNOR, CHAS. A., Mauritius, (No. 6): 



Polvporus albellus as named by Massee, though the name 

 duplicate, having been used by Peck. For me it is a form oi 

 cephalus (not for Bresadola). 



Trichina, same as t m except it has ,ost its 

 hairs. Sent a V ,isBe r M which is sa m e thin,
