cervmus, United States, Schweinitz. No specimen in Schweinitz' herbarium 

 but a little specimen at Upsala which was, after many years, taken by Bresadola in 

 the sense of Polystictus biformis. I doubt it (cfr Letter 50) and the name is a 

 duplicate at any rate, being a Persoonian species. 



chromoflavus, West Indies, Patouillard (published?) = Polyporus Oersterii 

 Species at Berlin. 



chrysites, Brazil, Berkeley = Polyporus capucinus. The specimens are bright 

 color but hardly "golden yellow". They are the thin form, corresponding to the 

 types of capucinus in this respect, but for me a thin form of fruticum. 



ciliatulus, Europe, Kars'ten. Very few of his species have ever been recognized 

 by anyone else. 



cinctus, England, Berkeley. Teste Bresadola = Polyporus undatus. The types 

 have abundant mycelial growths a kind of "ozonium". There is no account of this 

 growth however, in any of the various other names applied to Polyporus undatus, 

 nor have we ever seen it in connection with this species. 



cineratus, Europe, Karsten. Unknown. Said to have white spores. Reads 

 like Polyporus fumosus but grew on Abies. It is curious how many marvelous "new 

 species" Karsten and Quelet found that no one else in Europe ever meets. 



cinereo-fuscus, India, Curry = Polyporus semilaccatus discolored. 



citromallus, Cuba, Berkeley. A manuscript name attached to a little frustule 

 at Kew. Cooke must have overlooked it when he was "describing" Berkeley's 

 remnants. 



comptulus, South America, Berkeley. Only known from very old types in 

 Hooker's herbarium. I believe it to be Trametes cubensis though by no means 

 sure. It is safe to say it will never be recognized with certainty. 



Corium, India, Berkeley. Only known from the type and I doubt if it will 

 ever be well known from that. It is white and has a soft flesh. I would not try to 

 give any idea of its characters from such a specimen. 



connexus, Brazil, Leveille. Type (all known) is doubtfully Polyporus rigidus. 

 It has been referred to Polyporus licnoides but surely in error as it has no setae. 



contractus, Celyon, Berkeley = the resupinate portion of Polyporus lignosus. 

 It always "contracts" in drying. 



corrosus, West Indies, Murrill = Polyporus fruticum. The author got this 

 plant from Florida, Jamaica and Philippines. The first he called Polyporus am- 

 plectus, the second Polyporus corrosus, and the Philippine specimen Polyporus 

 fruticum. 



corruscans, Europe, Fries. This is the oak form of Polyporus rheades which 

 see (page 362) for detailed history. 



crocatus, United States (?) Klotzsch = Polyporus scruposus teste Fries. I 

 have never located any specimen. 



crocicolor, mss. at Kew (from Ellis) = Polyporus aurantiacus. 



cubensis, Cuba, Berkeley (as var. of plebius) = Polyporus supinus, and this is 

 the name under which Berkeley usually referred it. It has no relation to the plant 

 from New Zealand in Berkeley's herbarium as Polyporus plebius. Nothing very 

 similar to Polyporus supinus grows in the East, nor similar to Trametes plebia in 

 American tropics. 



cucullatus, United States, Berkeley. This is known only from the type locality, 

 a couple of little frustules each about size of peas. It has been referred to Polyporus 

 radiatus. I think that is right, or more probably little "nodules" of nodulosus. 



cupreus, India, Berkeley = Polyporus carneo-fulvus. 



cupreo-vinosus, Brazil, Cooke = Trametes cupreo-roseus and same collection. 

 As Cooke states, it originated in an error in writing the label. 



Curreyanus, New Zealand, Berkeley. The type, a very poor specimen, I think 

 is adustus. It is endorsed now as being old dichrous. It is no species at any rate. 



decipiens, United States, Schweinitz. Unknown. No specimens preserved. 

 There is a small specimen at Kew (authentic?) which is Polystictus vcrsicolor. 



Delavayi, China, Patouillard. Unknown to me. From description may be 

 same as recently named versiporus. 



demissus, Australia, Berkeley. Types all known appear to be Polyporus fumo- 

 sus. Cooke's determination is Polyporus adustus. 



digitalis, India, Berkeley. Types all known are very poor. Looks much like 

 Polyporus adustus.
