LETTER No. 53. 



Reports on specimens received since last report. 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 it. All specimens are acknowledged by private letter as soon as they 

 come into my hands. Foreign correspondents may send specimens to my 

 English address, and they will reach me promptly, although in countries 

 which have direct parcel post arrangements with the United States it is best 

 to send them by parcel post direct to me. Specimens may be sent to either 

 of the following addresses: 



C. G. LLOYD, C. G. LLOYD, 



224 West Court Street, 95 Cole Park Road, 



Cincinnati, Ohio. Twickenham, England. 

 Cincinnati, November, 1914. 



ABBOTT, DR. E. K., California: 



Fomes (Ganodermus) applanatus. Pyrenomycetes. 



ALLEN, MISS LIZZIE C., Massachusetts:

 sum difforme. Cordyceps ophioglossoides. Xylaria polymorpha. Daedalea 

 confragosa. Polystictus cinnamomeus. Helvella lacunosa. Bulgaria rufa. 

 Tremellodendron pallida. Polystictus conchif er (?) . Bulgaria inquinans. 



BONANSEA, DR. SYLVIO F., Mexico: 



Schizophyllum commune. Sent under four numbers, though all are 

 the same plant, and it is a common species in many countries, particularly 

 the United States. Dr. Bonansea reports it as comestible, which it no 

 doubt is, but it is not eaten in the United States, and it appears to me it 

 would be too tough to relish. It is known in Mexico as Hongo de quia 

 pinola, Hongo de Pale mulato, Hongo de Jobo, and Hongo de toto poste. 

 Trametes hispida, called in Mexico Hongo del sanz. 



Polyporus secernibilis. This is the first collection I have seen from 

 the American regions. On comparison it is exactly same as type from 

 Ceylon. 



Polystictus Friesii. Polystictus elongatus. Stereum lobatum (=S. 

 fasciatum, Schw.). Stereum versicolor. true (see Note 159). Polystictus 

 azureus. Originally from Mexico. Polyporus scruposus*. Polyporus Hook- 

 erii (see Note 160). Stereum complicatum.
