BALLOU, W. H., New York City: 



Polyporus squamosus. Mr. Ballou finds it frequent on decaying elms. 

 It is usually rather rare in this country. 



Mitrula paludosa. The first collection received by me. 



Trametes suaveolens, wintered specimen. 



BILGRAM, HUGO, Pennsylvania: 

 Polyporus lucidus. 



BONANSEA, DR. SYLVIO J., Mexico, D. F.: 



Polystictus floridanus. Stereum versicolor. Polystictus pinsitus. 

 Polyporus heteroporus (^dimidiate rufescens). 



Tremellodendron merismatoides as known in the United States (latest 

 shuffle) although it probably has other names in the tropics. Penio- 

 phora (?). 



Polyporus. All broken in little bits, but very peculiar structure of 

 prosenchymatous tissue, in which are imbedded much larger, deeper colored 

 ligneous fibrils, somewhat similar to that of Amaurodermus Chaperi. (Cfr. 

 Stipitate Pol., p. 189.) This however is a Polyporus related to Polyporus 

 dryadeus, and I think unnamed, although I would not wish to name it from 

 these little fragments. 



BROCKES, DR. ANNA, Brazil: 



Polyporus fruticum. A peculiar species differing in habits from most 

 (if not all) other species. It grows on the twigs of living shrubs, usually 

 encircling the branch and hence named "fruticum" like a fruit. Context 

 soft spongy. Hyphae yellow. Spores subglobose hyaline 3-3 % mic. I note 

 colored spores in the tissue and I suspect that ripe spores are colored. 



Polystictus pinsitus. Lenzites striatus. Stereum caperatum. 



Polystictus luteo-nitidus. (Cfr. Stipit. Pol., p. 163.) I am beginning 

 to be satisfied that luteo-nitidus and multiformis are the same thing. 

 Polystictus occidentalis. Panus rudis. Schizophyllum commune. Xylaria. 

 Conidial form probably of Xylaria hypoxylon. Xylaria. (Material very 

 scanty.) 



Stereum. Species unknown to me. Belongs to section Podoscypha if 

 one uses Patouillard's ideas, or Lloydiella if Bresadola is followed. Glab- 

 rous, mesopodial, yellow. Cystidia few but large, hyaline, obtuse, with a few 

 granules. I have never studied exotic species of this genus. 



Polyporus rufescens var. hexagonoides. To most any "new species" 

 promoter this would be an entirely "new species," but it impresses me a? 

 a form of the variable Polyporus rufescens. It has the same "structure" 

 and general nature, but the pores are large, round, and shallow, not daeda- 

 loid, and deep as in the type form. The upper surface is not brown and 

 pubescent, but light color and while not glabrous, it is not distinctly 

 pubescent. The entire plant is same texture and very light weight, as is 

 always the European form. 



Polyporus rigens. Very close but not exactly same color, which is 

 more olivaceous. Polystictus unknown to me. Close to occidentalis, but 

 much thinner.
