endapalus, Australia, Berkeley. This has been published as the same as Fomes 

 caliginosus. It is known from one collection only, which may be young caliginosus, 

 but appears different to me, softer, subresupinate, with different habit of growth. 

 Fomes caliginosus grows in abundance in the Philippines and other Eastern islands 

 and countries, but there are no typical species from Australia at Kew. Endapalus 

 seems to be pidgin Latin or typographical error for endopalus, as the specimen was 

 labeled by Berkeley. 



endophaeus, India, Berkeley. No type exists, but from description most 

 probably it was Fomes melanoporus. 



Engelii, Europe, Harz = Fomes rufo-flavus. Specimen at Berlin. 



enteroleucus, Chili, Fries. Xo type exists. In a general way the description 

 suggests a Ganodermus, but the "white" context forbids. 



epimiltinus, Ceylon, Berkeley. Known from type only at Kew. A resupinate 

 piece, a Poria. 



Evonymi, Europe, Kalchbrenner, = Fomes ribis. However, it is usually of a 

 brighter color than the form on Ribis. 



excavatus, British America, Berkeley, as a variety of Fomes fomentarius. 

 It is the type form on birch. See our figure (584), made from this "type." 



expansus, Europe, Desmazieres. Two quite different species are found in 

 Desm. exsiccatae under this name. One of them seems to me a resupinate form 

 of Fomes fomentarius, that is, the same pores, but I do not know that Fomes 

 fomentarius is ever resupinate. Fries so lists it. It was an abnormal growth in a 

 cellar or mine. In Desmazieres' herbarium at Paris most of the specimens under 

 this name are a Poria, resembling Poria ferruginosa as to color, but having no setae. 



fasciatus, Jamaica, Swartz. I have seen no type. At the British museum is 

 a very old specimen, collected in Jamaica by "Mr. Poore," which I had supposed 

 was the type x x>f Swartz, but on noting it again carefully, I see there is nothing to 

 connect it with Swartz. In the sense of this specimen the plant is the same as Fomes 

 marmoratus, and I have heretofore so used the name. I am told by Mr. Romell 

 that there exists in Sweden a type from Swartz which is not Fomes marmoratus, 

 hence I must adopt Berkeley's name as fasciatus originally was not this plant. 



flaviporus, Europe, Quelet. This is the mss. name under which Quelet sent 

 Fomes laccatus to Fries. It is still so preserved at Upsala. Quelet evidently pub- 

 lished it as Fomes resinosus. 



focalis, Africa, Kalchbrenner. Xo type found in any museum. 



fuliginosus, Europe, Scopoli. The old description of Scopoli is a guess at best. 

 By Quelet and others used as a juggle for Polyporus benzoinus, which appears to 

 be a good guess, but is illegal now, and in any event never was a Fomes. 



Fullageri, Australia, Berkeley. Xo type exists. 



fulvus, Europe, Schaeffer. The old figure appears to me to be a crude cut of 

 Fomes roseus. His remarks do not apply at all. It is also alleged to be Fomes 

 pinicola. Xo one knows what it is. 



furcatus, Java, Junghuhn. Xo type found by me at Leiden (cfr. Letter 37). 

 Junghuhn cites a figure, but never published it. 



fusco-purpureus, Europe, Boudier, = Fomes torulosus. 



gelsicolor, Europe, Berlese. Xo specimen known to me, but from figures, 

 description, and spores, it is based on a half-ungulate specimen of Fomes applanatus. 



gelsorum, Europe, Fries. Known to this day only from the crude cut of Bat- 

 tarrea of over 150 years ago, and based on an assertion in the start. 



Gillotii, Europe, Roumeguere (as Polvporus), = Fomes annosus, vide cotypes 

 at Berlin. 



glabrescens, Mauritius, Berkeley. This I would refer to Fomes geotropus. It 

 differs slightly in having a smoother surface, but is too close to maintain as distinct. 



glaucotus, Japan, Cooke, =adamantinus. The type at Kew is the only 

 Japanese collection known. 



Gourliei, Australia, Berkeley. Only known from the "type locality." A little 

 remnant that should never have been named. Surely not a Fomes in any event. 

 Endorsed now as a form of Polystictus occidentalis. 



grenadensis, West Indies, Murrill. This is based on one collection from Grenada, 

 and appears to be exceptional in having the narrow pore layers separated by very- 

 narrow but distinct context layers. Context cinnamon brown. Pores minute, the 

 narrow unusual layers strongly distinct on account of the interposed context. The
