CEYLON POLYPORI. 
93 
part of Thwaites’ gathering in Herb. Cooke. But the 
type of P. dilatatus was not Thwaites’ gathering, but 
Gardner’s. Fortunately the two collections are the 
same species. Cooke wrote “ Polystictus Adami Berk,” 
but there is apparently no evidence that the name was 
authorized by Berkeley. Fide Lloyd, the Ceylon 
specimens are Polyporus ohovatus Jungh. 
449. Polyporus russieeps B. & Br. (961, cum icone). 
Three specimens in Herb. Peradeniya ; six specimens 
in Herb. Kew. In the same cover in Herb. Kew are 
two specimens of P. gmmmocephalus, marked “ 34 or 
261.” Polyporus russieeps is distinct from P. grammo- 
cephalus (see Patouillard, Bull. Soc. Myc. France, 
XXX., pp. 36-40). Polyporus grammocephalus was 
recorded for Ceylon from Gardner’s collection, but not 
from Thwaites’. In Herb. Peradeniya are three 
specimens of grammocephalus, marked ? 261 ? 34,” 
while in Herb. ^ Kew are specimens, Gardner 118, 
Gardner 24, and Thwaites “ 34 or 261.” P. grammo- 
cephalus was collected at Peradeniya by von Höhnel, 
and recorded by Bresadola IJloc. cit.). 
450. Polyporus sulîureus Fr. (601). 
A large specimen in Plerb. Kew (Thwaites 601), and 
a smaller piece of the same in Herb. Peradeniya. This 
appears to be identical with the Gardner specimen 
“ referred doubtfully to lacteus ” by Berkeley in 1847, 
and the species named Polyporus appendiculatus B. 
& Br. in 1873. 
451. Polyporus eurocephalus B. &. Br. (969). 
Parts of Thwaites 969 are in Herb. Kew and Herb. 
Peradeniya. According to the present determination, 
on comparison with fresh specimens, this is a Merulius 
(see Ann. Peradeniya, IV., p. 408). 
452. Polyporus lacteus Fr. 
Gardner’s specimen, referred doubtfully to lacteus by 
Berkeley, is in Herb. Kew. It appears to be the same 
as the species referred by Berkeley and Broome to 
P, sulfur eus.
