this may be likened to a bunch of graces. It differs from the usual 
Xretzschmaria in its large size, few perithecia, globose (not flatten¬ 
ed ) loose heads. The species it most closely approaches is Kretzsch- 
maria cetrarioides. 
POLYPORUS RHI2OMORPHAE FROM 3. R. BOSE, INDIA (Fig. 1794 ),- 
A comparison of our figure (1794) with the figure of this plant in its 
normal form (Stip. Polyporoids, p. 128, fig. 425 as Polyporus scopu- 
losus ) would indicate that our reference is improbable. But a com¬ 
parison of the specimens seems to me they are exactly the same species. 
This is the first dimidiate specimen I ever saw although the plant in 
its usual stipitate form is not rare in the Philippines. In our pam¬ 
phlet the plant is called Polyporus scopulosus, as named by Berkeley 
from one old specimen, the surface of which had becomerough from 
weather exposure and it is the only specimen I ever saw that was 
"scopuloseWe decline to continue to apply a misname to a plant, 
acquired through its author's ignorance of its natural state, and par¬ 
ticularly in this case where the plant was well named and well illus¬ 
trated by Reichardt* 
P0LY3TICTUS SUBCAPBRATUS FROM DR. J. B. CLELAND, AUSTRALIA 
(Fig. 1795).- Effuso-reflexed with pileus an inch or more broad. Color 
dark brown, the margin in these paler. Surface appressed, fibrillose. 
Content- thin, brown. Pores medium, round, 5-6 mm. deep, concolorous. 
Cystidia none. Spores 6 X 12, cylindrical 1 , straight, hyaline, smooth. 
I rather suspect this is only a form of Polystictus caperatus 
but I have compared it with many collections of caperatus and it 
differs from all in the larger, long pores. Caperatus has minute pores 
usually 1-2 mm. deep and white mouths. It goes in Section 119. 
POLYPORUS ( GAN. ) ALBOCINCTUS FROM JOHN GOSSWEILER, AFRICA 
(Fig. 1796).- While we have not seen the original of this name, coming 
from the same region and answering the description fairly well, we 
feel .justified in taking the name. Only one specimen was collected 
by Mr, Gossweiler and that as shown in our figure is considerably 
smaller than described (5-8 cm. ). We do not think it is happily named 
for the white margin in the species is only where the white pores 
slightly exceed the pileus. Similar in size and shape to the old 
Polyporus amboinensis figure, which belongs to thelucidus section with 
laccate surface, for me this would better be classed in a stipitate 
^section corresponding to Pomes applanatus. It has similar color, spores 
5 X 10, truncate, smooth, context color, pore mouths (white). The 
only similar stipitate species we know are fa.sciatus and gibbosus 
(Letter 55, Fig, 627 1 ) and these are both evidently Fomes. The specimen 
has a long, dull, olive stipe (8 inches) and is only partly shown in 
our figure. This is the first specimen of the species we have seen. 
TRAMETES TRAFSMUTANS FROM T, F. CHIPP, SINGAPORE (Fig. 1797).- 
A single half specimen of this was sent and it is evidently rare and 
sporadic. We look upon it as a large, thick-pored form of Trametes 
lactea, and Trametes lactea we consider a trametoid form of Lenzites 
repanda. In its color, texture, surface, form, size, thickness and 
every feature excepting the hymenium, Trametes transmutans is the same 
as Lenzites repanda. This specimen has some reddish spots on the pil¬ 
eus and Lenzites repanda sometimes takes these same spots. The pores 
are all round, shallow, about 1 mm. in diameter, with thick walls and
