FUNGI 



57 



The Rumphian figure and description are the whole basis of 

 Lentinus sajor caju Fries, the species apparently having been 

 generally interpreted correctly, as the figure is quite char- 

 acteristic. Philippine material referred by Bresadola to Len- 

 tinus sajor caju differs but slightly from the Amboina specimen 

 cited above. The form briefly described in the second para- 

 graph, indicated by Hasskarl as forma altera varietas, while 

 undoubtedly a Lentinus, may or may not be the same as Lentinus 

 sajor caju Fries.

 Tuber regium Rumph, Herb. Amb. 6: 120, t. 57, f. U (cf. Pachyma 



tuber regium Fries p. 61). 



A species imperfectly understood, based wholly on Rumphius's 

 figure and description, although perhaps correctly interpreted 

 by Hennings.* The subterranean portion of Tuber regium, as 

 figured and described by Rumphius, is Pachyma tuber regium 

 Fries, a species of wholly doubtful status (see p. 61), and 

 is apparently nothing but a pseudo-sclerotium of Lentinus tuber 

 regium Fries. f 



LENTINUS DJAMOR Fries Epicr. (1836-38) 395 (type!). 

 Agaricus djamor Fries Syst. 1 (1821) 185 (type!). 

 Boletus II arboreus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 125, t. 56, f. 2, 3. 



A species known only from Rumphius's description and rather 

 crude figures, but probably correctly placed in the genus 

 Lentinus. 



M ARASM I US Fries 



MARASMIUS sp. 



Cassutha cornea Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 52. 



Rumphius's description applies to a plant that can hardly 

 be other than the mycelium of one of the horsehair blights, 

 Marasmius sp., for a general consideration of which see Petch.J 

 Burman f., Fl. Ind. (1768) 93, referred it to Cassytha corniculata 

 Burm. f., a species described and figured from Javan specimens, 

 and which is perhaps a species of Galeola of the Orchidaceae. 

 Linnaeus, Mant. 2 (1771) 237, repeats Burman's description 

 under Cassyta corniculata, the reduction being cited by Loureiro, 

 Murray, Lamarck, and Willdenow. Miquel, Fl. Ind. Bat. I 1
