COTTON, A. D., England: 



Thelephora spiculosa. Mr. Cotton tells me this is frequent in 

 England, but I think it is not in their text-books. Very rare in the United 

 States, where I have seen it but once. Confirmed by Bresadola. 



CROSSLAND, CHARLES, (from Australia) : 



Trametes lactinea. It is pure white when fresh. 



ZENKER, DR. G., Kamerun, Africa, (No. 9): 



Lenzites nivea, which I take to be only the lenzitoid form of Hex- 

 agona albida (cfr. Hexagona Synopsis, fig. 313), and only a smoother form 

 of Lenzites aspera. From Africa Dr. Zenker sends all lenzitoid forms. In 

 Samoa I found usually the hexagonal forms. 



VANDERYST, REV. HYAC, Congo Beige: 



Polystictus (or Trametes) cristatus. Compared with type at Kew. 

 It is said that Zollingeriana is the same thing. If so, cristatus is a much 

 better name for it. 



ZENKER, DR. G., Kamerun (No. 8): 



Lenzites repanda. The thinnest specimen of this common, trop- 

 ical (and much-named) species I ever saw. These are hardly thicker than 

 a sheet of paper. 



RICK, REV. J., Brazil: 



Polyporus (or Trametes) Feei, the only type of which is at Paris 

 (sent by Fee). It is not a Polystictus as found in Saccardo, but is very 

 close to Polyporus carneus "Nees" of the United States, if not the same. 

 Rev. Rick reports it "common in Brazil." 



RICK, REV. J., Brazil: 



Polystictus versatilis, a frequent plant in the tropics. The fresh 

 specimens have rose-colored pores, a character that disappears from the old 

 herbarium specimens. It was called Polystictus villosus by Murrill, probably 

 because that was an earlier date, for the plants have no resemblance what- 

 ever. Bresadola advised me that it is also Polyporus Spegazzinii, which 

 he based on specimens misnamed Polyporus Drummondii by Spegazzini. 

 Spegazzini also called it Polystictus Hariotii according to specimens at 

 Paris. Spegazzini was more liberal than particular in passing his com- 

 pliments around. 



YOSHINAGA, T., Japan, (No. 18): 



Trametes Dickinsii. Compared with type at Kew which came from 

 Japan. It seems to me quite close to paleacea of Africa, but Bresadola says 

 it is quite distinct from that species. 



FETCH, T., Ceylon: 



Unnamed species of mesopodal Polyporus. Mr. Fetch tells me 

 that it grows in circles in Ceylon. I am sure Thwaites never sent it to 

 Berkeley.
