Schumann and Lauterbach cite Polyporus mariannus Pers. as 

 a synonym of P. kamphoveneri Fr. With this Murrill does not 

 agree (Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 34: 468. 1907), but considers the 

 species identical with P. corrugatus Pers. It seems probable, 

 however, that it is the same species Berkeley described from 

 Ceylon as P. anebus. In this opinion Lloyd (Synopsis Apus 

 Polyporus 382. 1915), who has critically studied much of the 

 basidiomycetous material in the Paris Museum, concurs. As 

 Persoon's name was given the fungus some twenty years prior to 

 Berkeley's, its use should be accepted. 



First described from the Marianne Islands. Also collected in 

 Africa, Ceylon, Japan and the islands of the Pacific.
