critically studied the named specimens and have to change the name 
every time we write a note. This was named from Ceylon by Berkeley 
(teste Petch) and may be the first name. It is widespread and fre¬ 
quent in our American tropics and known as Poria rufotincta in our 
local traditions. It also occurs in Japan and the Philippines and 
appears as Poria borbonica, in Philippine lists. The species is 
readily recognized by the peculiar orange stain it imparts to the wood, 
NOTE 878 XYLARIA MULTIPLEX FROM PROFESSOR T. PETCH, CEYLON: 
(Cfr. Xylaria Notes, p. 26, fid, 1343. ) It was sent as Xylaria 
Culleniae, which was Berkeley's name for the Ceylonese collection. 
The species seems to be peculiar in habits, growing on fruits, as 
stated by Berkeley, The type of Culleniae consists of two specimens. 
One, which is surely multiplex, was used by Cooke for his figure. 
The other has a few, short, fasciculate clubs and is quite doubtful. 
NOTE 879 - XYLARIA APICULATA FROM PROF. T. PETCH, CEYLON: 
This is the same plant I received from Madagascar ( Cfr. Xylaria Notes 
page 20) and in my opinion the same as the common plant we have in 
the American tropics. The Eastern plant has a club not so strongly 
rimose and spores are smaller (about 6 X 12 ), Berkeley's record 
from Ceylon is Xylaria hypoxylon var, mucronata, but surely it has 
nothing to do with the European species, 
NOTE 880 - XYLARIA VAGANS FROM PROF, T. PETCH, CEYLON: This 
is a very distinct species which was named and finely illustrated by 
Professor Petch in the Annals, Peradeniya, Vol.6. It is the only 
species of Xylaria that produces the black rhizomorph3 in the tropics 
known as "horse hair blight." The most of them are products of 
Marasmii. Xylaria vagans is a strongly distinct species but not 
known from the American tropics, Its nearest relative is Xylaria 
axifera. 
NOTE 881 - XYLARIA HAEMORRHOIDALIS FROM PROF. T. PETCH, 
CEYLON: This was so named from Ceylon by Berkeley. It differs (if 
really a difference exists) from Xylaria anisopleura (page 24) only 
in its sessile, globose form. The surface, stroma, perithecia and 
spores (10 X 28) are exactly the same, and these are really the 
essentials of a Xylaria. Xylaria tuberiformis of Australia (Myc. 
Notes page 678) appears to me to differ in its more strongly protrud¬ 
ing perithecia and smaller spores. Otherwise it is the same.
