CLADODERRIS Persoon 
CLADODERRIS DENTRITICA Pers. ex Fr. Fung. Natal (1848) 22. 
Thelephora dendritica Pers. ex Gaud. Bot. Frey. Voy. (1826) pi. 1, fig. 4; 
Fr. Epicr. (1838) 536. 
Actinostroma crassum Klotz. ex Meyen Beitr. Bot. (1843) 237. 
Cladoderris crassa Fr. Fung. Natal. (1848) 22. 
Beccariella insignis Ces. Myc. Born. (1879) 9, pi. 4- 
Luzon Province of Rizal, Bosoboso, Bur. Sci. 1189 Ramos, July, 1906. 
Mindanao, District of Davao, Sibulan River, Copeland, April 27, 1904, on 
decaying wood. 
It is very probable that Cladoderris elegans (Jungh.) Fr., should also 
be included in the list of synonyms or, at least, be classed as a variety of 
C. dendritica. There is a very slight difference between the two; the most 
marked one being in the presence of a greater number of warty or papillate 
excresences on the hymenial folds. 
Reported from Ceylon, India, Borneo, Cuba and Brazil. Probably of very 
general tropical distribution. 
POLYPOREAE 
POLYPORUS Micheli 
POLYPORUS BENGUETENSIS (Murr.) comb. nov. 
Coltrichia benguetensis Murr. in Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 35 (1908) 391. 
Polystictus benguetensis Sacc. & Trott. Syll. Fung. 21 (1912) 312. 
Luzon, Province of Benguet, Elmer 6047, March, 1904, on dead Pinus 
insularis; Baguio, Merrill 5008, October-November, 1905, on earth above 
prostrate logs of Pinus insularis. 
Broken surface pileus shining golden yellow-brown, poriferous layer of 
the same color as the upper surface, brown and quite distinct from the 
flesh of the pileus. This species should be placed in the genus Polyporus 
without question. 
Known only from the Philippines. 
FOMES Fries 
FOMES FASTUOSUS (Lev.) Cooke in Grevillea 14 (1886) 18. 
Polyporus fastuosus Lev. in Ann. Sci. Nat. Ill 2 (1844) 190. 
Luzon, Province of Nueva Vizcaya, Dupax, Bur. Sci. 14364 McGregor, 
March-April, 1912: Province of Bataan, Mount Mariveles, Copeland 145, 
January 30, 1906; Lamao, For. Bur. 15568 Curran, November, 1908: Prov- 
ince of Rizal, Antipolo, For. Bur. 7044 Curran, May, 1907. Mindoro, Mount 
Halcon, Merrill 6114, November, 1906. Babuyanes Islands, Camiguin, 
Bur. Sci. 4171 Fenix, June-July, 1907. Mindanao, Lake Lanao, Camp 
Keithley, Clemens, June-July, 1907. 
On comparing the material in the Bureau of Science herbarium it is 
found that Pyropolyporus fastuosus (Lev.) Murr., this name having been 
first used and published by Murrill for Philippine material, 1 is a misnomer. 
The specimen given that name by him is in reality Fomes spadiceus (Berk.) 
Murrill in Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 34 (1907) 179.
