Pycnoporus puniceus (Fr.) Ryvarden (1972: 236)

≡ Trametes punicea Fries (1851 [1855]: 98). Mycobank no.: MB 322114. Lectotype (designated here):— MALAYSIA. Pulo Pinang, s.d., Didrichsen 25 (UPS- F-175963!).

Notes:— When describing Trametes punicea, Fries (1851) indicated in the protologue that the specimen was collected by Didrik Ferdinand Didrichsen in Pulo Pinang, Malaysia. However, he did not indicate where the specimen was deposited. We located a single specimen associated with the information contained in Fries’ works at UPS ( Fig. 1C ), where part of Fries’ collection is deposited, and we designate this specimen as a lectotype.
