thelephoroides, Europe, Karsten. Unknown. Said to have the "form and 

 color of Thelephora laciniata." That must be a curious "Fomes." It is a pity that 

 Xarsten did not distribute such a remarkable find. See his figure, which appears to 

 be something unusual, but a doubtful "Fomes." 



Thomsoni, India, Berkeley. Known only from the type, an old and very poor 

 specimen with large pores. Not a Fomes, but a Trametes,' and as a guess, Trametes 

 Persoonii. 



tornatus, Rawak, Persoon. The original specimen at Paris was endorsed by 

 Leveille as being Fomes australis. It was a case where Fries had ignored "priority" 

 because it was Persoon's name, not his own, at issue. Our modern lawmakers have 

 legalized this method of robbing poor old Persoon, for he had no standing at Brussels. 

 Murrill is the only knight errant of modern times who battles for the rights of poor 

 old Persoon. He used it as a juggle for Fomes australis. 



tostus, Philippines, Berkeley, = Trametes Persoonii. 



tropicalis, South America, Cooke. This rests on one quite abundant, but, I 

 think, abnormal, collection. It is of the same nature as Fomes cryptarum. The 

 context hard, isabelline, pore mouths pale, probably white when fresh. The abortive 

 pileus surface black, smooth. I made a very similar collection in Samoa, but evi- 

 dently a different species, which I have labeled Fomes malvenus, merely to have a 

 name for it in my collection, but I do not place much stress on these evidently 

 abnormal things. 



Troyanus, Jamaica, Murrill. Types are two little undeveloped specimens, 

 in my opinion inadequate material on which to base a species. 



tuniseus, Tunis, Patouillard. Based on one collection on the locust tree, from 

 Tunis, and for me = Fomes rimosus. 



Underwoodii, West Indies, Murrill, = Fomes badius. 



ungujatus, Europe, Schaeffer. This is one of several names under which 

 Schaeffer illustrated Fomes pinicola. As found in Saccardo, it is a definite idea of 

 the ungulateyprm with narrow annual layers. As usually used by modern authors 

 in exsiccatae,] it is only a juggle for Fomes pinicola. 



variegatms, Europe, Sowerby (not Secretan, as innocently cited). From 

 Sowerby's remarks, rather than from his figure, which is too yellow, I judge this is 

 the sessile, /annual Polyporus recently named Ganodermus resinaceus in Europe. 



vegetus, Europe, Fries. This is a condition of Fomes applanatus with layers 

 of context interposed between the pores. It is not rare in Europe. 



verruculosus, South America, Meyer. No specimen preserved probably, but 

 from description, it was surely Fomes pectinatus, and a "prior" name. 



versatilis, Europe, Quelet, = Fomes Ribis, teste Bresadola. Quelet in his 

 last work calls it Fomes pectinatus. 



versicolor, Australia, Hennings. Type not found by me at Berlin. Said to 

 have colored spores. Setae not mentioned. 



Williamsianus, Philippines, Murrill. Unknown to me. Not distributed to 

 any museum in Europe. From description, it is a Ganodermus with asperate spores 

 in Section 78. 



Williamsii, Philippines, Murrill, = Fomes lamaensis, and named on the same 

 page. The next year Murrill withdrew the species and referred it to Fomes endo- 

 theius, to which it has little resemblance, and no analogy. 



Xylocreon, South America, Spegazzini, unknown.
