NOTE 1028 - POLYPORITS RTTFESCENS.- This, species is rather 
rare and very variable as to shape. The specimen is spat-nulate, with 
aastipe 3/4 inch thick and three inches long. Prom appearances it 
Crew probably attached to wood, the stipe lying on the ground and half 
buried. Specimens of this same shape when growing up on trunks of 
trees are called Polyporus heteroporus. Compare Stipitate Pclyporoids, 
Pig. 457, which would fairly well represent this specimen. I do not 
believe I have ever gotten a., form of Polyporus rufescens before from 
the tropics. Polyporus asteroporus from Brazil is ver} r close but has 
different spores. The spores of this are subglobose, & X 6, hyaline, 
smooth with a. large gutta*. Exactly the same a& in Europe but probably 
they are the conidial spores of the plant. 
NOTE 1029 - POKES APPLANATUSAs could be expected a. large 
part of the specimens from Dr. Secord were the varying forms of Pomes 
applanatus. First we have the usual form with, brown crust. 
Then, Pomes leucophaeus with pale, hard crust; Pomes australis 
with hard, minute pores; Pomes oroflavus with yellow pore mouths. 
All the preceding forms have white pore mouths but this shipment was 
unusual as most of the specimens beiong to the form with yellow pore 
mouths. This form from California .has recently been proposed by Mr. 
Murrill as a new species. It is a, warm country form and not rare in 
the tropics, although rarely received, sent in abundance b 3 r Dr, Secord. 
Fetch claims that the yellow pore mouths are a change in drying. 
NOTE 1030 - POLYPORITS HONDURENSIS - As named by Murrill and 
perhaps entitled to a-name. It always impressed me as a.form or per¬ 
haps condition of Polyporus lignosus. The context is quite thin, the 
pores almost reach the crust and the tissue of the pores is more uni¬ 
form in color. The feature that we pointed out by which Polyporus 
lignosus might be recognized, that the pores in a.section are paler 
above than below-does not apply here. In Polyporus lignosus as the 
pores grow in length they fade out the older tissue, and as far as I 
know it is the only Polyporus with this character. (Pomes ulmarius, 
also). In this connection Polyporus lignosus (and by the way Dr. 
Secord sends fine specimens of it ) is generally a Polyporus rather 
than a Pomes as found in our pamphlet. We presume we have a. hundred 
tropical collections and probably ninety of them are Polyporus. It 
should have been entered also in Section 91 of cur Apus pamphlet. 
NOTE 1031 - TRAMETES FLOCCOSA.- We came near passing this by 
as an undeveloped specimen but when we sliced the pores we found an 
abundance of peculiar, large, hyaline spores 8 X 1*6 and then there was 
not much trouble in locating it. It is a species characterized by its 
soft, punky context and the first time it has been found in the 
American tropics. We recorded it page 1010 from Ceylon, India and 
Africa.
