LETTER No. 44. 



Report on specimens received since October 15th. My best thanks are 

 extended to those who have favored me with specimens. 



In my printed letter I do not give authorities for names, believing 

 that the binomial should represent a plant name, but in acknowledging 

 the specimens to my correspondents, I give the "authority," in event they 

 desire to use the same. All specimens are acknowledged by private letter 

 as soon as they come into my hands. Foreign correspondents can send' 

 specimens to my English address and they will reach me promptly, although 

 in countries where there are direct parcel post arrangements with the 

 United States, it is best to send them by parcel post direct to me. Speci- 

 mens may be sent to either of the following addresses:

BALLOU, W. H., New York: 



Trametes protracta (=Trametes form of Lenzites saepiaria). Poly- 

 porus spumeus. Polyporus salignus. Fomes annosus. Irpex pachydon, 

 nice specimen. Polyporus confluens. Hydnum ferrugineum. Fomes car- 

 neus. Trametes sepium. Polyporus sulphureus. Hydnum (=H. alboni- 

 grum, same thing as far as I can make out). Hydnum scobiculatum. 

 Hydnum aurantiacum. Fomes pinicola. Polystictus circinatus. Polyporus 

 Oerstedii (=Ganodermus sessilis). Poria odora. Thelephora terrestris. 



Hydnum spongiosipes. This plant grows in Europe and is known to 

 the French botanists as Hydnum velutinum (cfr. Gillet's excellent figure), 

 but whether it is Hydnum velutinum of Fries' description and figure, 

 cited (Bulliard t. 453), is quite a dubious question. Polystictus focicola. 

 Tremella lutescens. Lenzites trabea. Hymenochaete Curtisii. (Burt's de- 

 termination). Stereum rubiginosum. Hydnum Blackfordae. (Determined 

 by Peck. A very rare species.) 



BROCKES, DR. ANNA, Brazil: 

 Lenzites repanda. 



BURNHAM, S. H., New York: 



Polyporus radicatus. Tremella vesiearia. The first dried specimen I 

 have gotten of this species which is a typical Tremella as to structure.
