under surface of a log or in a crack in the wood, 
frequently occur with the normal thin form. 
444. Polyporus flabelliformis Kl. (377 in part). 
Herb. Kew contains one specimen, Gardner ; three 
specimens, Thwaites 377 ; two specimens, collected by 
Thwaites in 1850 ; and nine Thwaites’ specimens, 
without number. 
445. Polyporus discipes Berk. 
The type specimen collected by Gardner, Talagalla, 
Ceylon, is in Herb. Kew. There is only one example. 
It resembles the Ceylon specimen of P. Emerici, but 
has a brighter yellow-brown context. 
446. Polyporus Menziezii Berk. 
Herb. Kew contains five Ceylon specimens, Thwaites, 
without collection number. Though the name was 
published in the “ Fungi of Ceylon,” it would appear 
that Berkeley regarded the Sumatran specimen as the 
type. The Ceylon specimens are Polyporus Didrich- 
senii according to Lloyd, but they seem to me to be 
Polyporus Gaudichaudii. 
447. Polyporus rhipidius Berk. (1 and 363). 
Herb. Peradeniya contains numerous specimens from 
Thwaites 363. Herb. Kew contains Thwaites’ speci- 
mens unnumbered ; Thwaites 1, December, 1854 ; and 
Thwaites 363. 
448. Polyporus dilatatus Berk. (599). 
In Herb. Peradeniya are seven specimens of Thwaites 
599. Herb. Kew contains the type specimens from 
Gardner, without number or locality ; eleven specimens, 
Thwaites 599 ; and part of the latter collection ex 
Herb. Cooke. The name was changed by Cooke to 
Polystictus Adami (Proc. Bot. Soc., Edinburgh, XIII., 
p. 171), because of the previous Polyporus dilatatus 
Lév. The Thwaites’ collection in Herb. Kew is marked 
P. lacer Jungh. by Bresadola. 
Cooke’s change of name might have had a curious 
result. The type of Polystictus Adami Cooke is the
