The type specimen of none of the above named species is known 

 to be in existence. The synonymy has, therefore, been deter- 

 mined by a comparison of the original descriptions and figures. 

 Scopoli's figure well represents a form which we have heretofore 

 referred to H. laciniatum Leers, but the form is not what we 

 consider as typical of Leers's species, as the branches are too 

 long and slender, yet it does not appear to be specifically distinct. 



2. Manina coralloides (Scop.) 

 Hydnum coralloides Scop. Fl. Carn. 2 : 472. 1772. 



None of Scopoli's types are in existence so far as known. The 

 species described by him as H. coralloides has been long well 

 known and frequently described and figured under his name by 

 other authors, but has been more or less confused with forms 

 which we regard as belonging to the segregation that should be 

 referred to Manina flagellum Scop. Scopoli did not include this 

 species in his earlier work, in which he established the genus 

 Manina, and in none of his later works did he retain his genus, 

 going back instead to the older genus Hydnum. Curiously, there- 

 fore, the above combination is now made for the first time nearly 

 one hundred and fifty years after the genus and the species had 

 been described by their common author.
