STIPITATE POLYPOROIDS. 



Compare my pamphlet, Synopsis of the Stipitate Polyporoids. 



Section Polyporus-Ganodermus. 

 Polyporus lucidus. 



Tropical form. The tropical forms of Polyporus lucidus are puzzling and do not 

 have definite names. This form is what Murrill has named from the American tropics 

 "Polyporus subincrustatum." 



Polyporus fasciatus. 



This has a dull surface marked with darker zones. The name was based on a 

 misdetermination of Leveillo. It has no relation whatever to Femes fasciatus of the 

 American tropics. A question has recently been raised as to the authenticity of the "type" 

 of Femes fasciatus in the British Museum, and in our future work we shall adopt Berkeley's 

 name, Femes marmoratus, concerning which thare is no doubt. 



Polyporus mangiferae. 



A very common plant in Africa. 

 Polyporus (cfr. mangiferae). 



This, which is quite similar to mangiferae, has same colored context and pores 

 and pore mouths, but surface is very dark, almost black. 



Polyporus mastoporus. 



A frequent species in Africa, recognized by its hard, minute, dark colored pores. 



Section Polyporus Amaurodermus. 



This section is most fascinating. The species differ widely, and have 

 good characters, but they are mostly rare, and most species are known 

 from single collections. Since my resume was published, several marked 

 species have come to hand. Mr. Henri Perrier de la Bathie sends in this 

 collection two new forms. 



Polyporus (Amaurodermus) rugosus. 



This is about the only common species of the section in the East.
