MILLE, REV. L., Ecuador: 



Geaster minimus. Geaster Schmidelii. Geaster saccatus. Tylostoma 

 Berteroanum. Xylaria (Sp.). Polystictus versicolor. Polystictus unknown 

 to me. Hydnangium (Sp.). Cora pavonia. 



MOUSSET, J. P., Java: 



Lenzites repanda. Polystictus vernicipes. 



NAKANISHIKI, K., Japan (n): 



Lenzites saepiaria. The Japanese plant is paler in color and has 

 slightly more distant gills than the common plant in America and United 

 States. In its essentials it is the same species for me. In color it is quite 

 close to Lenzites subferruginea (also common in Japan), but which has much 

 broader gills. 



Polyporus adustus. Fomes Haskarlii, young specimen. Polystictus 

 versicolor. Daedalea unicolor. Lenzites saepiaria. Daedalea quercina, 

 young. Trametes Persoonii. This collection is harder and more "trame- 

 toid" than usual. Usually it is better classed as Polystictus. Lenzites 

 saepiaria. 



NAMBU, N., Japan: 



Polyporus ochroleucus. 



O'CONNOR, CHAS. A., Mauritius (o): 



Trametes Persoonii. This common tropical species is quite variable. 

 Sometimes quite thin (Polystictus). Sometimes more thick (Trametes). 

 Usually the pores and context are white, but this collection has an isabelline 

 tint. 



Polystictus occidentalis. The "type locality" of this common tropical 

 species is Mauritius. 



Polyporus lignosus. Mauritius is also the type locality of this plant. 

 It is very common in the tropics and has lately, by Professor Petch, been 

 found to be a destructive disease of the rubber tree. 



Laternea angolensis. The genus Laternea, very common in the Amer- 

 ican tropics, is known from but few collections from Africa. Many years 

 ago Welwitch figured a white species from Angola, which is named Laternea 

 angolensis and differs from the American plant in having the columns 

 attenuate at the top. This plant agrees with Welwitch's figure as to shape, 

 but is red instead of white. It is pretty well established that several phalloid 

 species vary in color from red to white, hence I feel this should be held 

 to be a red form of Laternea angolensis. 



Polyporus (Ganoderma) lucidus, tropical form. 



OVERHOLT, L. O., Ohio: 



Lenzites trabea and Lenzites saepiaria, coalescing in growing. 



PARISH, S. B., California (p): 



Podaxon Farlowii. This is our only American species and grows in the 

 desert regions of the West. Collected in the Colorado desert near Mexico.
