The Polyporaceae of Mexico 
By Witiiam A. Murriti 
The polypores of Mexico were known to Fries chiefly through 
the collections of Liebmann ea however, made no specialty of 
this group of plants. The E llis Collection at the New York 
Botanical Garden contains a number of Mexican specimens col- 
lected by Charles L. Smith in 1891-92. The private herbarium 
of Dr. N. Patouillard at Paris contains a small collection of 
polypores sent to him from Mexico by Paul Maury about fifteen 
years ago. In addition to the foregoing, a few specimens have 
been picked up from time to time by collectors of flowering plants 
and by other explorers, and these are scattered through various 
herbaria. 
The list given below, comprising all the species of Polyporaceae 
known to occur in Mexico, with the exception of a few white or 
bright-colored resupinate forms, is prepared chiefly from my own 
nn there in 1909 and 1910, and all the numbers cited are 
wn. Species not found by me are listed in their proper order, 
ae collectors’ names being given. The few species that are still 
insufficiently known are termed doubtful, and listed under the 
old genera as published.
