Polystictus sanguineus (L.) Mey., Polystictus xanthopus Fr. 
( Polystictus saccatus Pers.), and Schizophyllum alneum (L.) 
Schrot. To this list Saccardo adds Hirneola ampla (Pers.) 
Fr. Another short list, apparently based on the same col- 
lection, was published by K. Schumann & Lauterbach in “Die 
Flora der Deutschen Schutzgebiet in der Siidsee” (1901). This 
list consists of but five names, Auricularia auHcula-judae (L.) 
Schrot., Polyporus kamphoeveneri Fr., Polystictus sanguineus 
(L.) Mey., P. xanthopus Fr., and Schizophyllum alneum (L.) 
Schrot. 
The following list includes an inumeration of all known species. 
Most of these, as one might expect from their being only inci- 
dental collections, are common and widely distributed tropical 
forms.

HIRNEOLA AMPLA (Pers.) Fr. Fung. Nat. (1848) 26. 
Auricularia ampla. Pers. ex Gaudich. in Bot. Freyc. Voy. (1826) 177. 
Coll. Gaudichaud ex Saeardo Syll. Fung. 6 (1888) 765. 
POLYPORUS Micheli

Coll. Gaudichaud. 
Schumann and Lauterbach place this as a synonym of Fomes lignosus 
(Klot.) Bres. These authors make no statement of having seen or made 
comparisons with Gaudichaud’s specimen, which is probably in the Paris 
Museum of Natural History. If the reduction is correct, then Persoon’s 
name is the older. His description is, however, rather meagre and hardly 
more than sufficient to show a possible relationship.
