LENTINUS SUBNUDUS. Pileus usually infundibuliform, smooth, 

 white, discoloring when old. Gills close. This seems quite a frequent 

 species in the East. I have it from C. B. Ussher, Straits Settlements; 

 J. P. Mousset, Java, and have collected it in Samoa. It has probably other 

 names as Panus and the following as Lentinus are in my opinion all the 

 same: cretaceus, inconspicuus, lobatus, coadunatus, and caespitosus of 

 Currey changed to Curreyanus. There are other synonyms at Berlin and 

 Paris. 



LENTINUS TIGRINUS. A collection from S. N. Ratnagar, India, 

 seems to be this species of Europe. 



LENTINUS TORULOSUS. In Fries as Panus, but I can not see how 

 it is to be distinguished generically from previously listed plants. I have 

 a collection from Dr. J. Dutra, Brazil, which is more slender but otherwise 

 seems to me the same as this species as I know it in Europe. 



LENTINUS CONNATUS. This is quite a distinct species in the East 

 and is found in several museums having been distributed in Zollinger's 

 exsiccatae from the Philippines, though Berkeley afterward referred several 

 collections to Lentinus infundibuliformis, a quite different plant that he had 

 named (several times) from the American tropics. Leveille called it 

 Lentinus javanicus and Cesati, Lentinus Beccarianus. I have a specimen 

 from the Philippines sent to me while at Kew for comparison. 



LENTINUS (species), I have a collection from Joges Ray, India, that 

 I did not find named. 



LENTINUS (species unnamed I believe). This was sent to me at 

 Kew for comparison. It came from the Philippines, and in the recent 

 list of Bresadola appears as Lentinus polychrous, Leveille. No type of 

 Lentinus polychrous is found (at Leiden) and the specimens that Leveille 

 sent to Paris and to Kew are different species, so that I think the name 

 can not be used with certainty. Judging from Leveille's description the 

 plant at Kew (which is the same as Lentinus praerigidus) is the cotype.

NOTE 84 Hydnum compactnm, from Miss Lizzie C. Allen, Newtonville, Mass. This 

 specimen, received fresh, I was very glad to get, as it is a species I have never collected 

 and it has been confused with Hydnum aurantiacum and Hydnum caeruleum. It it quite 

 different from Hydnum aurantiacum as I ki.ow it well in the woods of Sweden. It is 

 well ntmed, for its sl'Ort, o'oese, compact form. Tlie top is even (colliculose in auranti- 

 acum) and very minutely tomentose. The color is ochraceous, with a suggestion of orange. 

 When cut the flesh turn* blue, a feature entirely different from what takes place when 

 Hydnum aurantiacum is cut. Hydnum compactum has heretofore been confused by me 

 (cfr. Note 69) and by others with Hydnum caeruleum.
