FUNGI 



61 



Lycoperdon is the suggested reduction of this by Hasskarl, 

 which may be the correct disposition of it. Fungus arborum tube- 

 rosus Rumph., Herb. Amb. 6: 130, also may be possibly referable 

 to the same genus. Beyond a surmise as to the genus, no further 

 reduction can be suggested from data at present available. 



DICTYOPHORA Desvaux 



DICTYOPHORA PHALLOIDEA Desv. Journ. Bot. 2 (1809) 88. 



Hymenophallus indusiatus Vent, in Mem. Inst. Nat. Sci. 1 (1789) 

 520. 



Phallus daemonum Fries Syst. Mycol. 2 (1823) 283 (type!). 

 Hymenophallus daemonum Spreng. Syst. 4 (1827) 498 (type!). 

 Dictyophora speciosa Klotzsch. in Nov. Act. Acad. Nat. Cur. 19 



(1843) Suppl. 1 : 239, t. 6. 

 Phallus daemonum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 218; 6: 131, t. 56, f. 7. 



The Rumphian figure is the type of Phallus daemonum Fries 

 and of Hymenophallus daemonum Spreng., and it is certainly the 

 same as Dictyophora phalloidea Desv. Loureiro, Fl. Cochinch. 

 (1790) 694, erroneously reduced it to Phallus impudicus Linn. 

 Ventenat's specific name is the oldest one, but no change is here 

 proposed in the nomenclature of the species. 



POLYGASTER Fries 



POLYGASTER SAM PADARI US Fries Syst. Mycol. 2 (1823) 295 (type!). 

 Tuber sampadarium Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 123. 



Loureiro, Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 697, referred Tuber sampa- 

 darium Rumph. to Lycoperdon glomeratum Lour., a species based 

 on Cochin-China specimens. There is no evidence that the form 

 Loureiro described is the same as the one Rumphius considered. 

 The Rumphian description typifies Polygaster sampadarius Fries, 

 a species of very doubtful status. Fischer, in Engler & Prantl 

 Nat. Pflanzenfam. I 1 ** (1899) 399, places Polygaster as a 

 doubtful genus under the Plectobasidiineae (Sclerodermineae) . 



PACHYMA Fries 



PACHYMA TUBER REGIUM Fries Syst. Mycol. 2 (1823) 243 (type!). 

 Tuber regium Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 120, t. 57, f. A. 



The genus Pachyma Fries is one of doubtful status, although 

 there is little doubt that Pachyma tuber regium Fries is nothing 

 but a pseudo-sclerotium of Lentinus tuber regium Fries (see 

 Lentinus tuber regium Fries, p. 57). 



PACHYMA HOELEN Fries Syst. Mycol. 2 (1823) 243 (type!). 

 Hoelen Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 122.
