In the autmun of 1918, Dr. J. N. Rose collected a number of 

 woody and fleshy fungi in Ecuador and sent them to the Garden 

 for determination and distribution. Most of the gill-fungi were 

 small, poorly preserved, and without notes, but the woody forms 

 came through in very good condition. Pyropolyporus inflexihilis, 

 from Portovelo, and Cookeina snlcipes, from Bucay, were repre- 

 sented by single specimens that could not easily be divided. 

 Three sets were made of the species listed below, one going to 

 Washington, one to Harvard, and one remaining here. The great 

 majority of these species were collected in the vicinity of Huigra ; 

 several at Ventura and Bucay ; and a few at Portovelo, Loja, 

 Duran, Cumbe, Canar and Tablon de Oiia. 



Species deserving special mention are : Gymnopus tenuipes 

 (Huigra) ; Crepidotus calolepidoides (Tablon de Ona) ; Fomes 

 subferreus (Canar) ; Trametes lignea (Huigra), previously 

 known only from one collection made in Nicaragua ; and Lentinus 

 hirtiformis (Ventura), previously known only from British 

 Honduras. The specimens of this last species obtained by Dr. 

 Rose in Ecuador are much larger than the types, and the stipes 

 are covered with a brown, velvety tomentum.
