ABSTRACT
The name Phellinus rickii (Bres.) David et Rajchenb., based on Poria rickii Bres., is a later homonym of Phellinus rickii Teix. and renamed Phellinus tropicalis M. Lars, et Lomb. The facultative synonyms of the Bresadola name, Phellinus glaucescens Petch and Phellinus flavomarginatus (Murr.) Ryv., were found to represent distinct species. We consider Phellinus ferrugineovelutinus (Henn.) Ryv. to be a nomen dubium. A cultural description of P. tropicalis is provided.
