POLYSTICTUS OR PORIA SETULOSUS FROM E. D. MERRILL, PHILIPPINES 
(Fig. 1918).- This mas named by Hennings as- Poria setulosa and while 
this specimen was resupinate^ I have a very strong impression I have 
seen it with a. pileus. It is readily separable from the host and is 
of the same texture and I think is allied to the more common Pclystic- 
tus cervino-gilvus. The color is about tawny olive (Ridgway), Pores 
rather rigid with thin walls. The hymenium bears large, pleurocellular 
glands on which the genus Elmerina was based. It has also imbedded 
crystals. I feel that a genus is just as logical based on one as the 
other. The plant was named from Africa but is principally known from 
the Philippines. 
POLYPORUS FUSCELLUS FROM DR. W. DOCTERS VAN LDDUWEN, VERLATEN 
EILAND NEAR KRAKATAU (Fig. 1919).- We would enter it in Section 12. 
Based on collection 4130. The surface of this to the eye is the same 
as Trametes fuscellus, the pores are of a. Polyporus. Petaloid from a 
reduced base. Surface glabrous, reddish brown with darker zones. 
Context pale isabelline. Pores minute, darker than context, soft l/2 
cm. deep. Cyst id ia. none. Spores 4X6. 
POLYPORUS CONCHOIDES (VELUTINATE ) FROM A. M. BOYYOMLEY, SOUTH 
AFRICA (Fig. 1920).- We haVv-e seventeen collections of Polyporus con- 
choides from Brazil, Cuba., Madagascar, Tropical Africa, Ceylon, Phili¬ 
ppines, Uiacaragua. and one from Durban, South Africa, every one with a 
hard, smooth but dull surface. Then this collection comes in with a 
soft, velutinate surface in every other feature exactly the same. It 
is truly hard to define the characters of species. Our figure repre¬ 
sents this soft upper surface. 
POLYPORUS ORONIGER FROM E. D. MERRILL, PHILIPPINES (Fig. 1921).- 
Pileus sessile, applanate, about 3X4 inches and half inch thick. 
Color (excepting'the pore mouths) Sudan brown. Surface strongly spongy 
sulcate with raised zones. Context soft, spongy. Pores minute, hard 
with brown tissue and dark (almost black) mouths. Setae none. Spores 
small, globose, 3 mic. deep colored. 
This was included with a collection of Polyporus nigroporus but 
evidently quite different. It belongs in Section 101 and is quite 
close to Polyporus capucinus, differing In the strongly zoned pileus 
and dark pore mouths. It is also close to Femes fastuosus but dif¬ 
ferent texture, surface and smaller spores. 
STEREUM SPECIOSUM FROM CARLOS E. CHARDON, PORTO RICO (Fig.1922) 
(Or Hymenochaete if one wishes. ) Pileus erect, dendroid, me.rismatold, 
with flattened, pileate branches. Color Brussels brown. Setae dense, 
numerous, 8-10 by projecting 200-220 mic. Spores globose, 4-5 mic., 
hyaline, smooth. 
We refer this to an old name of Fries (as Thelephora ) which is 
known only from the description, no specimen preserved. It agrees 
fairly well with the description. It is not as determined by Montagne 
which is Stereum D&maecorne (Stipitate Stereums, page 41) nor in the 
sense of Peck which is Stereum unicum (l. c. p.35). It belongs to 
Section 11 of our Stereum pamphlet which embraces several forms, all 
referred by us to one species. Burt recognized three species forms.
