opinion, however, that t. 57, f. 2, 3, represent juvenile forms 

 of a Ganoderma, probably G. cochlear as here interpreted, and 

 that figure E, described by Burman as "tarn cochlearis, quam 

 digitati species est ex utrisque mixta," belongs with Ganoderma 

 cochlear (Nees) Merr. ; that is, it is Ganoderma amboinense 

 auct., non (Lam.) Pat. Lamarck considered figures 2 and 3 to 

 represent a variety of his Agaricus amboinensis. Loureiro, Fl. 

 Cochinch. (1790) 694, erroneously reduced these figures to 

 Helvella mitra Linn., which is a totally different plant. It is not 

 certain whether or not Polyp orus pisachapanni Nees is distinct 

 from Ganoderma cochlear (Nees) Merr. 



FAVOLUS Fries 



FAVOLUS sp. 



Fungus arboreus III Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 128. 



The description is unmistakably referable to Favolus or some 

 very closely allied genus, such as Hexagonia, as indicated by the 

 brief description of the lower surface as "subtus autem in varias 

 cellulas & tessaras distincta est instar favorum Apium." 



POLYSTICTUS Fries 



POLYSTICTUS SANGUINEUS (Linn.) Nees in Mey. Prim. Fl. Esseq. 

 (1818) 304. 



Boletus sanguineus Linn. Sp. PI. ed. 2 (1763) 1646. 

 Fungus arboreus II (ruber) Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 128. 



The phrase "utrimque rubra/' together with the few other 

 characters given in the very short description, definitely refers 

 the form Rumphius described to the strongly marked Polystictus 

 sanguineus Nees. 



POLYPORUS Micheli 



POLYPORUS sp. 



Fungus arboreus II (albus) Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 128. 



The brief description applies to Polyporus or to one of the 

 very closely allied genera. There is nothing sufficiently definite 

 in the description to warrant even a guess at its identity. 



POLYPORUS sp. 



Fungus arboreus I Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 127. 



Indeterminable from the data given by Rumphius, other than 

 that it is referable to Polyporus, sensu latiore, or to one of 

 the very closely allied genera that have been segregated from it. 

 Both Polyporus lucidus Fries and P. amboinensis Fries= Gano- 

 derma amboinense Pat. have been suggested for the Rumphian 

 species.
