WILSON, REV. JAMES, Australia: 



Fomes squarrosus (see Note 178). Polystictus xanthopus. Polystictus 

 flabelliformis. Geaster plicatus. Polyporus Wilsonianus (see Note 179). 

 Hexagona Gunnii. Polyporus Eucalyptorum (see Note 180). 



YAM ADA, G., Japan: 



Trametes Dickinsii. Fomes (or Polyporus) Rhaponticus. Polyporus 

 (Ganodermus) Mangiferae. Polystictus sanguineus. 



YASUDA, A., Japan: 



Pachyma Hoelen. As named by Professor Yasuda. Polystictus (un- 

 named). Polyporus (or undeveloped Fomes?). Lachnocladium ? Poly- 

 stictus versicolor. Stereum (Hymenochaete) tabacinum. Polyporus 

 rigidus. 



Stereum (False Hymen.) vibrans. The plant has abundant, colored, 

 encrusted setae (or rather modified, projecting hyphae), not the true type 

 of the section Hymenochaete. They are of the same nature as those of 

 Stereum luteo-badius (cfr. Letter 46, page 6). This type of "cystidia" is 

 intermediate between "Lloydella" and "Hymenochaete," and for us would 

 form a section (False Hymenochaete), and I presume in time a "new genus." 

 The following species of Stereum will fall in this section. Stereum vibrans, 

 luteo-badium (Syn. Kunzei, elegantissmus, cinereo-badium), illudens, and 

 Chailletii. 



Polystictus hirsutus. Exidia glandulosa. Polystictus elongatus. 

 Polyporus Cummingii (see Note 181). Hydnum adustum (see Note 182). 

 Scleroderma Cepa. Polyporus (unnamed, I think) (see Note 183). 

 Hypoxylon lenta. Determined by Miss Wakefield. Hypoxylon durissimum 

 Prox. Determined by Miss Wakefield. Polystictus neasmiscus. I have 

 compared this with the type. It is related to Polystictus caperatus, but has 

 no relation to Polyporus radiatus, as suggested. 



NOTE 159. Stereum versicolor true, from Dr. S. J. Bonansea, Mexico City, Mexico. 

 The type of Stereum versicolor is in the British Museum. It is the same as Fries named 

 from Mexico Stereum radians, also same as Kunze many years ago distributed as Stereum 

 bellum. 



The name Stereum versicolor has, in the United States, been so persistently misapplied 

 to Stereum fasciatum that it is doubtful if it can ever be gotten back to its correct meaning. 



I believe these are the first specimens I have ever gotten of true Stereum versicolor. 

 The plant is in most museums of Europe, having been included in Kunze's old set of plants, 

 which is found in several museums. It only grows in the American tropics. 



NOTE 160. Polyporus Hookerii, from Dr. S. J. Bonansea. Mexico City, Mexico. This 

 is an unpublished name, based on specimens at Kew that Dr. Hooker collected in India, and 

 referred by Berkeley as a variety of Polyporus scruposus. Polyporus scrurosus has the 

 pileus tubercular, rough. Polyporus Hookerii has a pileus strongly fibrillose, strigose. In- 

 termediate collections, however, connect them. At Kew Polyporus Hookerii is found from 

 India and Australia. This is the first collection we have seen from the American tropics. 



NOTE 161. Calvatia defodioides, from Simon Davis, collected near Cody, Wyoming. 

 A single specimen, but showing that its dehiscence is typically that of the genus Calvatia. 



NOTE 162. Polyporus varius, from S. Davis, collected near Cody, Wyoming. These 

 specimens agree exactly with the European plant and is the type form of Europe. It is
