This species was omitted from the lists of both Schumann and 

 Lauterbach, and SafTord. As is true of a number of tropical 

 forms, this species may only develop a single hymenial layer but 

 often develops a greater number and hence becomes a Fomes. 

 The possibility of an entire collection from a locality being of one 

 type while another might show the further development of a 

 Fomes has been one of the causes of multiplicity of names in the 

 synonymy of many tropical species. Pyropolyporus fastuosus 

 Murr., as first published (Murrill in Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 34: 

 179. 1907) for Philippine material, was applied to Fomes spadi- 

 ceus (Berk.) Cooke instead of F. fastuosus (Lev.) Cooke, as is 

 shown by the duplicate material in the herbarium of the Bureau 

 of Science, Manila, where both species of the fungus are common. 



Collected in the Malay States, Moluccas, Philippines and the 

 Marianne Islands.
