media, growing on branches and named by Schweinitz, neither is a. 
Poronia. Specimens are found in Schweinitz's herbarium but 1 have 
not examined them; Poronia macrospora, a species growing in the sand 
sent to Peck from Connecticut and exceptional in its very large 
spores, 20-30'X 40-60g Poronia polyporoides, described by Hennings 
from Africa, spores 8 X IS, seems from description to be close if 
not the same as Poronia fornicata. 
POMES L0NG0P0RUS PROM JOHN GOSSWEILER, PORTUGUESE WEST 
APRICA (Pig. 1728 ).- Pomes appianatus, a fairly dependable species 
in Europe, has so many tropical variations- that it is hardly 
practical to apply different names to them. And yet this is so 
different from the usual form that one not familiar with it would 
hardly associates them* While the pores are small they are large; 
compared to the usual 1 Pomes appianatus and our enlargements, Pigs;. 
1729 and 1730 in contract show it graphically.'. Thes pores are long’ 
(l cm, ) im contrast to the context" (2 mm. ) but similar long pored 
forms a.re not rare in the tropics, but with minute pores. The crust 
is browns and faintly zonate. The context color and spores are the 
sames as Pomes appianatus and context color and spores are the essen¬ 
tials of a Pomes. 
POMES GOSSWEILERI PROM JOHN G0SSWE1LER, PORTUGUESE WEST 
APRIGA (Fig.1731).- Pileus sessile, dimidiate, four to five inches 
in diameter. Color unicolorous, pale brown approximately but 
darker brown than huffy brown of Ridgway. Surface dull not zoned 
and no distinct crust. Context thin (2-5 mm. ) concolorous with 
faint layers, marked with darker zones. Pores minute, irregular, 
1-4 cm. long, faintly zoned. Cystidia none. Spores scantily found, 
globose, 4 mic., smooth, pale colored. 
While the species belongs to the brown series (Section 71 ) 
it is a different shade of brown from any I ever saw before. The 
layers of context would indicate"’ that the plant adds annual context 
layers, also a feature unknown to me in any other Pomes. Specimen 
No.142 collected at Maiambe, Portuguese Congo. In a later shipment 
from Mr. Gossweiler I find a second collection, thus confirming the 
species. 
POLYPORUS MOLLICULUS FROM PROP. T. PETCH, CEYLON (Pig.1732), 
Dimidiate, 2-3 inches in diameter. Surface pure white when fresh, 
spotting brown where touched or bruised in drying. Context pure 
white, very soft and spongy. Pores white, minute. Cystidia none. 
Spores allantoid, 1 X 5. 
Professor Petch writes that the flesh is soft and watery and 
often dries in an unrecognizable shape. It should be entered in 
Section 87. The plant suggests our rare Polyporus occiaentalis- but 
has entirely different spores. 
POLYPORUS PSEUDOGILVUS PROM DR. JAMES R. WEIR, CUBA (Fig. 
1733 ).- Polyporus gilvus from the tropics has received many names 
and we have looked through them and have not found one that is
