rhinocephalus, Tasmania, Berkeley. Type all known appears to be Polyporus 

 fumosus. 



rhodophaeus, Java, Leveille. It was misdescribed by Leveille and not rec- 

 ognized by Bresadola when he worked over the Leveille specimens. I hunted 

 up the type from Junghuhn's labeling "Rosa mala" and found that it had been 

 endorsed Polyporus semilaccatus. 



ribicola, Europe, Karsten. Little frustules are at Berlin. I did not recognize 

 them as anything I knew. It seems to be a Polyporus with colored context. I do 

 not believe it is a form of rutilans however, as somebody states. 



PRickii, Brazil, Patouillard, see page 357. 

 roseo-fuscus, Brazil, Romell =Trametes cupreo-roseus. 

 roseo-maculatus, Europe, Karsten. Unknown to me but from description 

 it is the flesh colored-pore form of Polyporus amorphus. 



rubiginosus, Europe, Schrader. This old vague record has been variously 

 interpreted. Fries (late date) as a synonym for Polyporus fuscus of this pamphlet. 

 . Fries (at an early date) as Polyporus fissilis of this pamphlet. Fries' specimen at 

 Kew is Polyporus cuticularis. Bresadola Fungus Kmet. as Fomes applanatus, 

 which is probably correct. The "farina rubiginosa" of the pileus is no doubt the 

 spore deposit that often mysteriously covers the top of the pileus of Fomes ap- 

 planatus. 



rubiginosus, Tasmania, Berkeley. This was changed by Berkeley to Polyporus 

 Lawrencii. It is Polyporus gilvus. 



rufo-albus, Africa, Bresadola (as Ptychogaster). Type is at Berlin. I think 

 it is a normal Ganodermus close to Oerstedii. Spores are both truncate (normal) 

 and globose (conidial) but I think the presence of conidial spores does not make 

 it a Ptychogaster. 



rufo'-pictus, "Cuba" Cooke. This was one of Berkeley's left-overs, (probably 

 I judge from the writing on the label from Ceylon) which Cooke dug up and published. 

 It is Polyporus zonalis. Berkeley referred many specimens to Polyporus zonalis, 

 and why he did not recognize this I can not say. Probably he did (as he did not 

 publish it) but forgot to change his label. 



rugulosus, Java, Leveille. No type found by me at Leiden and none exists 

 at Paris. It is considered same as Polyporus zonalis. Specimens I have noted 

 so named are mostly Polyporus rigidus, the unzoned form of Polyporus zonalis. 



Saccardoi, Europe, Cooke. Change of Polyporus sericellus (bis) which being 

 Polyporus rufescens was not worth changing. 



sanguinarius, Mauritius, Klotzsch = Polyporus bicolor. The type is at Upsala. 

 At Kew the cotype simply "No. 13" by Klotzsch was endorsed by Berkeley "oblinitus. 

 I have not ventured to publish it." Cooke not only ventured to publish it, but put 

 it in Fomes (sic). The pileus has a dark red stain but nothing to suggest "blood" 

 and Junghuhn's name bicolor is much better for it. It must not be confused with 

 Daedalea sanguinea of the same author, which is Trametes Persqonii of the tropics. 

 Berkeley usually employed Trametes sanguinea as the name for the latter plant. 

 We use the name on page 338 in a very close but not exactly same sense as Klotzsch, 

 in order to avoid inventing a new name. 



Sarrazini, Europe, Schulzer. Judging from the figure of Lucand (No. 99 as 

 vulpinus) which Schulzer states to represent his "species" the plant is probably 

 Polystictus pubescens or velutinus. 



Satpoorensis, India, De Beck. The illustration is^an excellent picture of 

 Polystictus leoninus. Those who discover "new species" of such common things 

 ought not to give good pictures of them. The safest way is to "describe" them 

 and then chuck the specimen in the waste basket. 



scanicus, Europe, Fries = Polyporus adustus. Type at Kew. 



Schulzeri, Europe, Fries. Change by Fries of Polyporus Irpex which is a 

 privilege that our learned law makers only allow to Mr. Fries. Any one else it is 

 illegal. No specimens known to Fries but the drawing is still in his collections. 

 The plant is probably same as Polyporus obtusus. 



scrobiculatus, Europe, Karsten. Description reads like radiatus. Spores 

 read like cuticularis. Unknown what it was. 



semidigitaliformis, Australia, Berkeley. Type too poor to comment. 



semipileatus, United States, Peck = Polyporus semisupinus of this pamphlet. 



sensibilis, N. W. United States, Murrill = Polyporus fragilis.
