acerinus, Europe, Opiz. Nomen nudum. 



acriculus, Europe, Karsten. Seems from description to be same as albellus. 



Adansonii, Africa, Patouillard. = at least it is so supposed, a curious conidial 

 state of Polyporus colossus. 



adiposus, England, Berkeley = Polyporus undatus probably. 



aethiops, India. Cooke. Type something dead and discolored (black). Not 

 a species. 



affinis, Europe, Boudier = Polyporus resinaceus. 



Afzelii, Africa, Fries. No type exists. Trametes roseola at Paris is endorsed 

 as being this plant but I doubt it. Fries states expressly that the context is not 

 "elasticus" and describes it as "albido" and compares it to Polyporus betulinus. 



albo-aurantius, Europe, Veuilliot distribution Roumeguere 2403 is Polyporus 

 amorphus. 



albo-gilvus, Cuba, Berkeley = Polyporus flavescens. It is a rare plant, only one 

 collection from Brazil at Paris and one at Kew from Cuba. 



albo-incarnata, South America, Patouillard. Unknown to me but described 

 as a Poria. Burt's determination Baker 2483 Nicaragua, is Trametes cubenesis 

 with no possible resemblance to description. 



albo-roseus, Europe, Karsten. Unknown to me. From description and 

 knowledge of plants of that region I have no doubt it was Polyporus amorphus. 



albo-sordescens, Europe. Romell Polyporus fissilis. 



albostygius, Cuba. Berkeley. As long as it is "only known from the type 

 locality" it is a Poria, at least the type (all known) a piece (now) \y 2 x 2 cm. is 

 entirely resupinate. It is something unique though, Subiculum thin. Pores 

 minute, 4 mm. long, pale, probably white when fresh, with black pore mouths. 

 Spores not found by me. 



albus, England, Hudson. The original description of Hudson refers probably 

 to Polyporus salignus. Fries' account was apparently made up from pictures, 

 Bull, 433 f. 1 and Price f. 78, neither of which represents plants known to me. Bres- 

 adola in Fung. Kmet. refers to Polyporus fissilis of this pamphlet. Although Poly- 

 porus albus was originally from England, I have not found it in Berkeley's writings 

 although Price claims to have named his specimens from Berkeley's Outlines. Nor 

 does it occur in any of the modern English compilations. 



altocedronensis, Cuba. Murrill = Polyporus leucospongius for me on com- 

 parison. 



amplectus, Florida, Murrill Polyporus fruticum. Originally from Cuba, when 

 it crosses to Jamaica it becomes Polyporus corrosus and when it occurs in Florida 

 it becomes Polyporus amplectus. All by the same author. It is rare in Florida. 

 Two collections are at New York and one in our museum. 



anceps, United States, Peck. This is only known from the original collection 

 made by Prof. Burt in Massachusetts on Hemlock and named by Peck. I found 

 no type at Albany, but in the New York Botanical Gardens are specimens from 

 Burt. It is a white plant, with hard context, minute pores and spores said to be 

 "globose". Except as to "globose" spores, as to which I can not say, it is as to 

 host and other characters, very much same as Polyporus albidus of Europe. 



angustus, Australia, Berkeley. Only known from the type, a single specimen, 

 a resupinate piece of Polyporus tephronotus. 



apalus, Europe, Leveille. No type found and almost passed out of European 

 tradition excepting locally in France, where the specimens are Polyporus fumosus. 



armeniacus, Scotland, Berkeley. Based on subresupinate specimens of Poly- 

 porus amorphus. 



ascoboloides, Australia, Berkeley. Type destroyed. 



atrostrigosus, New Zealand, Cooke. Seems from the scanty material to have 

 white flesh and pores and black appressed fibrillose surface. It will probably be 

 recognized some day on comparison. I do not know it well enough to refer it to 

 a section, but probably it will go in Section 82. Polyporus setiger from New Zealand 

 in Section 82 is probably the same plant. 



aureonitens, United States, Peck = a young condition of Polyporus radiatus. 



badius, Java, Junghuhn = Polyporus vinosus. It does not seem to have been 

 included in Saccardo. It was not published by Junghuhn and the color term (badius) 

 has little application to it. 



Balansae, South America, Spegazzini. = Polyporus licnoides, cotypes at Paris. 

 Cotypes at Kew are rather Polyporus gilvus.
