MYCOLOGIGAL NOTES C. G. LLOYD Page 957 
NOTE 937 - HYDNUM FLAVIDUM FROM T, F, CHIPP, SINGAPORE: This is 
a fleshy, dimidiate species, growing imbricately in clusters, the 
same size and manner of growth as our Hydnum pulcherrimum. However, 
the color when fresh was "bright yellow or brown, yellow toward the 
edge'." Spines were "yellow". In drying it turns black and without 
the collection notes nothing could be told about it. The spores are 
hyaline, smooth, some globose, 5 mic., but more about 3 X 4. We do 
not give a photograph of it for it would not tell much, but if one 
will associate it as being a yellow Hydnum pulbherrimum, turning 
black in drying that will be the best description. It is a larger 
and more fleshy species than Hydnum duriusculum and with longer 
spines. 
NOTE 838 - POLYPORUS OCHROLACCATUS FROM T. F. CHIPP, SINGA¬ 
PORE: A very distinct speclas ( Cfr. Stipitate Polyporoids p. 105) 
and a rare one. I only found in the museums of Europe the original 
collection of Cumings, Philippines, made in 1835* Recent collectors 
in the Philippines have sent it in a few times and I have one from 
E. Cheel, Australia. Cooke got it from the Solomon Islands 
(specimen at New York) and Hennings had a long, stiped form of it 
from New Guinea. Now it comes from Mr* Chipp, Singapore, In the 
entire world five countries and nine collections are known and but 
one collection from any country excepting the Philippines, six of 
these collections!being in our museum. 
NOTE 839 — POLYPORUS BRUNNEO—MACULATES FROM T. F» CHIPP, 
SINGAPORE: Cfr A-Stipitate Polyporoids, p. 133, This plant was mis- 
referred by Cooke, specimen from Malay, to Polyporus brunneo-pictus 
of Brazil, and is the basis of the erroneous record of Polyporus 
brunneo-pictus:' from Malay in Saccardo. It is quite close to 
Polyporus maliensis and should be moved from Sect, 15 to Sect. 17 
in my pamphlet. 
NOTE 840 - POLYPORUS ABRUPTUS FROM T. F. CHIPP, SINGAPORE: 
We became familiar with this in Samoa. We considered it in our 
Fomes pamphlet, page 222 as Fomes abruptus. It should, be moved to 
Sect. 82 of Polyporus. It is a case like Polyporus lignosus which 
passes as a Fomes. They are potential Fomes only but generally they 
are Polyporus. Polyporus abruptus can be learned but it is difficult 
to convey the idea to another. Murrill got it from the Philippines, 
Elmer 6951, discovered it was a new species and called it Trametes 
caespitosa.. I recognized the type at New York as soon as I saw it, 
but the specimens that were distributed to Kew I could make nothing 
of and I do not believe ..they have any connection with it. (Cfr. Apus 
Polyporus, page 311). 
NOTE 841 - HEXAGONA UMBROSUS FROM T. F. CHIPP, SINGAPORE: 
Thin, glabrous, dark umber with dark context and pores but evidently 
glaucous when fertile. Exactly the same as Hexagona polygramma (Hex- 
agone Synopsis, p. 25, fig. 308) excepting color, and the photographs 
could not be told apart, hence we give no figure cf this. The 
variations of color, pores, surface, in the Hexagona tenuis section 
are most puzzling as explained at length in our pamphlet, and it is 
a question what to consider as species. This is the second collec¬ 
tion of this dark umber plant received from Mr. Chipp, and it has 
never reached me from any other source.
