ON THE FU^'GI OF CEYLOX. 559 



298. A. (Psathyrella) leptomeres, JB. ^ Br, Pileo late campa- 

 nulato usque ad centrum striato; stipite elongate glabro solido ; 

 lamellis angustis adnexis (no. 775). 



On dead wood. Peradeniya, Sept. 1868. 



Pileus |-1 inch across, broadly campanulate, then expanded, striate 

 almost to the apex; stem U inch high, smooth, solid; gills narrow, 

 adnexed ; spores narrow, •0003--0004 long by •00015--0002. 



Allied to A. suUilis, but the gills are not adnate. 



299. A. (Psathyrella) furfurellus, B. 8f Br. Gregarius, mi- 

 nimus ; pileo hemisphscrico furfurello ; stipite capillari tomentoso ; 

 laraelUs adnatis e palhdo nigris (no. 944). 



On dead wood, Peradeniya, Jan. 1869, 



Pileus not a line across, hemispherical, clothed with dehcate fur- 

 furaceous particles, as is the thread-like stem i inch high. Spores 



0002 lontr

300. Hiatula flosculus, B. Sf Br. Candida; pileo piano usque 

 ad centrum plicato, fibrilhs hie illic obsito; stipite brevi e basi 

 orbiculari oriundo; lamellis niveis (no. 905, cum icone). 



On dead wood. Peradeniya, Jan. 1869, 



White ; pileus 2-5 lines across, plicato-sulcate, clothed with a few scat- 

 tered fibrils; stem 1-2 lines high, springing from an orbicular base; 

 spores ovate, '0003 long. 



Ehacophtllus, n. g. 



Pileus tenuissimus, tenerriraus ; lamellae in fragmenta oblougo- 

 obtusa flexuosa divisic. 



301. R. LiLACiNUS, B. Sf Br. (No. 825, cum icone.) 



On dead wood, twigs, &c. Peradeniya, Dec. 1868, Jan. 1869. 



Pileus cylindrical or digitaliform, lilac, striate, or even split more or 



less at the margin ; stem dilated at the base, attenuated upwards ; 



gills replaced by numberless oblong, irregular, waved, obtuse lobes, 



of the same colour as the pileus. 



It is possible that there may be two species ; but the number 

 of specimens gathered at present is very small. FterophuJlum, 

 Mont., agrees somewhat in character ; but it is closely allied to 

 Panus, while tbis is more closely to Coprinus. 



.302. Coprinus fuscescens, Fr. (No. 1001, cum icone.) 



On manured soil. 



No specimens were preserved of this deliquescent fungus ; but 

 the drawing agrees with C.fuscescens, Fr., except that the Hebh is 

 very thin at the apex of the stem. The gills, as in that, are 

 strongly attenuated to the margin of the pileus.
