Cesatianus, Borneo, Hennings. Change of caliginosus of Cesati, which being 

 the same as caliginosus of Berkeley and having several other names, was hardly 

 worth renaming. 



chilensis, South America, Fries. The type at Upsala, all that is known to me, 

 is a thin, subresupinate Ganodermus, about the same as usually called australis. 



circumstans, Western United States, Morgan, = Fomes Ellisianus, as Morgan 

 admitted, and for me = Fomes fraxinophilus. Morgan complained to me that 

 Ellis published Fomes Ellisianus in a journal where a mycologist would not be apt 

 to see it. 



compressus, Australia, Berkeley, = effete Polyporus ochroleucus. 



concentricus, Japan (alleged), Cooke. Known only from the type locality, 

 and that locality not known. There is one collection with nothing to indicate the 

 source except from Hooker's collection. It was published as coming from Japan, 

 but as far as I have ever noted there were no specimens in Hooker's collection from 

 Japan, and no indication that this was. It is close to Fomes leucophaeus, but with 

 a variegated crust, the same pores, spores, and pore mouths. The context color, 

 however, is much lighter (buckthorn brown). 



contrarius, Brazil, Cooke. Type poor, appears to me to be probably sub- 

 resupinate Fomes annosus. 



Copelandi, Philippines, Murrill, = Fomes caliginosus. Cotype specimen at 

 Paris. 



Cornu-bovis, India, Cooke, = Fomes melanoporus. 



crassus, Europe, Fries. Seen by Fries in the herbarium of Beyrich and sup- 

 posed by Fries to be a lapsus. It is hardly worth obscuring the subject with such 

 "species." 



cremorinus, Borneo, Cesati. No specimen found by me, and the description 

 (with "fulvescent" context) suggests nothing to me. 



crocitinctus, Cuba, Berkeley. The types at Kew are all that are known, and 

 are not surely Fomes. More probably Polyporus. Surface is dark, glabrous, 

 wrinkled. Context scanty and pores bright yellow or rhei color. Hyphae deep 

 yellow, spores small, 2%-3, globose, pale colored. Setae, none. It is not very 

 ligneous and has no strata of pores. If a Fomes, it is close to Fomes pectinatus in 

 Section 71. It is about the same size and shape as pectinatus. 



crustosus, Jamaica, Murrill, = Fomes inflexibilis, teste author, but I believe not. 



cryptarum, Europe, Bulliard. Buillard gave an excellent figure of a very poor 

 specimen which had wasted a lot of energy trying to take a normal form under 

 abnormal conditions. From its coloration, Bulliard's plant was probably Fomes 

 annosus, but Fomes cryptarum is quite a convenient name for anything that, grow- 

 ing in abnormal conditions, takes this abortive form, and has been applied to several 

 abortions by Fries, Berkeley, Rabenhorst, and others. 



Curreyi, Perak, Cooke, = Trametes strigata. 



cytisinus, Europe, Berkeley. This is the same plant as is called Fomes frax- 

 ineus in current usage. Fomes cytisinus is the correct name for it. No type is pre- 

 served, but from Berkeley's writings, there can be no question. The specimen in 

 Cooke's herbarium (vide Berkeley) is not the plant. 



deformis, Europe, Schaeffer. Based on an old figure (Schaeffer 264), and 

 nothing in Europe is known to correspond. The only plant that I can suggest that 

 is at all like the figure is Polyporus corrugis (cfr. Slip. Pol., p. 122). 



Demidoffi, Russia, Leveille. Same plant as Fomes juniperinus. Instead of 

 making "laws" to induce men to use such uncouth names as Demidoffi when the 

 plant has a good and appropriate name, there ought to be some adequate punish- 

 ment for those who inflict such names upon defenseless plants. 



diffusus, Hawaii, Fries, = Fomes lignosus, a thin annual form. Type at 

 Upsala. 



Earlei, Southwest United States, Murrill, = Fomes juniperinus, absolutely 

 the same in every particular. 



elatus, West Indies, Leveille. No type exists. 



Ellisianus, Western United States, Anderson (as alleged, but Ellis in fact 

 without doubt, as Anderson never worked on the subject except as an artist). Gen- 

 erally held to be valid, a species growing on the Shepherdia in the West, but for 

 me is the same plant as Fomes fraxinophilus on the ash in our Eastern States. 



Elmeri, Philippine, Murrill, = Fomes pachyphloeus.
