MYCOLOGICAL NOTES C. G. LLOYD Page 955 
Clavaria crista,ta - Clavaria crassipes - Hydnum aurantiacum - Hydnum 
cyathiforme - Mutinus elegans - Clavaria flaccida*. 
BURT, E. A,, MISSOURI: Aleurodiscus botryasus (co-type) - 
Aleurodiscus cremeus (co-type). 
CALDAS, DIOGENES, BRAZIL: POLYPORUS RHIZOMORPHUS. 
NOTE 834 - POLYPORUS RHIZOMORPHUS FROM DIOGENES CALDAS, 
BRAZIL: Compare Stipitate Polyporoids, p. 181, fig, 479. The spec¬ 
imen is the rhizomorph only, not in fruit, but I. recognise it as I 
am familiar with the original collection which load fruit. It is 
rare and this is the first time I have received it. It is the only 
species of Polyporus known that is produced from aerial rhizomorphs. 
CAVE, G. H. , INDIA: Polystictus xanthopus - Trametes 
lactinea - MITRULA ROSEA - POLYPORUS ADUSTUS - Polystictus vibecinus 
Clavaria fusiformis - THELEPHORA GELATINOSA - Stereum (Hymenoohaete ) 
Cocoa - Polystictus chicoraceus - Polyporus rubidus - LENTINUS 
praerigidus. 
NOTE 83& - POLYPORUS ADUSTUS FROM G, H. CAVE, INDIA: Poly¬ 
porus adustus, so common with us, in tropical countries takes a 
variety of forms but whether practical to designate them by separate 
names is not assured. We listed (Apus Pol. p. 328) sixteen names 
which we considered as synonyms^ We have looked over the descrip¬ 
tions and can not decide on any special name to apply to this collec¬ 
tion which differs from our plant in being thinner and having 
fuliginous zones on the pileus. Polyporus secernibilis is very close 
but has a brown, pubescent pileus and can not be this plant. 
NOTE 836 - LENTINUS PRAERIGIDUS FROM G« H. CAVE, INDIA: 
This was named by Berkeley from India, as above, and also by Currey 
as Lentinus Kurzianus, and Currey gave a good figure of it in the 
Transactions of the Linnaean Society. It was also called by Berke¬ 
ley, Lentinus estriatus and Lentinus Thwaitesii, and it is the plant 
Leveille sent to Kew as Lentinus polychrous. It appears to me now 
as I go over the specimens in our collection that there are two 
similar species in the East which I have not heretofore distinguish¬ 
ed, both characterised by the dark gills when dry, which are almost 
black but have a slight purplish tinge, 
LENTINUS PRAERIGIDUS has whitish, furfuracecus surface, 
becoming squamulose when old, fuliginous, squamulose stem and gills 
rather broad, about 2mm, This appears to he the main Indian Ceylon¬ 
ese species, I have specimens from S. Hutchings, Perak, and this 
collection from G. H. Cave. 
LENTINUS POLYCHROUS is somewhat thinner, has brownish, fur- 
furaceous surface becoming squamulose, a less squamulose stem and 
rather narrow gills, about a mm, broad. The name proposed by 
Leveille is as uncertain as is most of his work. I found no type at 
Leiden as cited, "Lent. 24,25" but an old collection "Lent.26" at 
Leiden is this plant. Also the plant as labeled at Paris but not 
the plant he sent to Kew which is the preceding. It seems very 
common in the Philippines. Part of the Philippine specimens that 
Bresadola referred to Lentinus polychrous belongs here, but he mostly 
determined Philippine collections as being Lentinus Kurzianus.
