Polyporus lucidus, tropical form as it is called. (Cfr. Stip. Pol., p. 102.) 

 I am becoming more convinced that the tropical form has characters con- 

 stant and distinct from the temperate region "form." This specimen has 

 a peculiar metallic color of the pileus. 



Trametes cirrhifer. While satisfied this is the same species as Poly- 

 stictus cirrhifer, these are thick, rigid specimens with pores 5 mm. long, 

 and must be put in section of Trametes (with hydnoides). The type of 

 cirrhifer at Kew is a thin plant with short pores and is classed as Poly- 

 stictus. This plant is quite different species from Trametes hydnoides in 

 the nature of its hirsute covering. 



Fomes. Very close to but distinct from Fomes rimosus. Spores 

 S% x 4, deep colored. Setae none. This species is very distinctly stratified, 

 and the strata vary in intensity of color. Fomes rimosus is but faintly 

 stratified. It seems to answer the "description" of Fomes Cedrelae (except 

 spores are smaller), but not much can be inferred from that.

Polyporus (Ganodermus) lucidus, "tropical form." 



KOENIG, P., Mauritius: 



Poria. Fomes. Forming large slabs. Color ferruginous. Strata dis- 

 tinct. Pores minute with velvety pore mouths. Setae abundant, slender. 

 Spores not found, evidently white. The foreign species of Poria have never 

 been worked up in detail by any one. 



Marasmius. Sp. Polyporus bicolor (?), old and effete. Polyporus 

 (Ganodermus) Mangiferae. This species seems quite frequent in Africa. 



Fomes. Spores globose, deep colored, 4-5 mic. Setae none. Pores very 

 minute. The old pore layers paler color than the fresh growth. Crust 

 black. An extremely hard species. Unknown to me, and the only species 

 I find described with similar characters is Fomes ignarioides (from Mexico), 

 but it can not be that as it is said to be "not stratified." Polystictus 

 carneo-niger. Polyporus (or better Polystictus). Species unknown to me.
