122 MR. Е. CURREY ON INDIAN FUNGI. 
POLYPORUS (MEsoPUS) CRASSIPES, n. sp.  Pileolignoso, infundibuliformi, fusco-purpureo, 
margine umbrino et zonato; stipite durissimo, badio, ad basin incrassato; poris 
minutissimis, stipite pallidioribus.—Y omah river, Реса. There is no number to the 
specimen. 
This plant resembles in some points P. parvulus and Р. carbonarius, Fr., but differs 
widely in other respects. I do not know any species to which it can be referred.

P. (PLEUROPUS) SANGUINEUS, Fr. 
This common tropical species occurs in Mr. Kurz's collection from Mutlah, in Lower 
Bengal, No. 2031; from the Botanic Garden, Calcutta, No. 2682; and from Tongloo, 
Sikkim Himalaya, 5000—6000 feet, No. 2584. 
P. (PrgvROPUS) морезѕтоѕ, Kunz, Fr. Linn. v. р. 519; Fr. Epicr. p. 444.— Yomah range, 
Northern Pegu, No. 2610. 
This is the same species as Р cervino-nitens, Schweinitz. 
P. (PLEUROPUS) FLABELLIFORMIS, Kl., Fries, Epicr. p.444.—Y mah range, Pegu, No. 3491. 
P. (PLEUROPUS) AFFINIS, Fr. Epier. p. 445.—Yomah range, Респ, Nos. 2628 & 3490. 
Evergreen Forests, Bookee ridges, Karen country, 5000—6000 feet, No. 2617. 
No. 2617 has a very short stem and an irregular margin, but I cannot make it out to 
be any other species. 
P. (PLEUROPUS) РТСТРЕЗ, Fr. Epicr. p. 440.—Botanic Garden, Calcutta, No. 2655. 
There is also a specimen from Sikkim without a number.

yellow form of the species. 
P. (PLEUROPUS) AMBOINENSIS, Fr. Epicr. p. 442.— Karen country, Респ, 4000 feet. 
Хо. 2636. 
This is a very variable species, probably not distinct from P. lucidus, Fr. 
Р. (PLEUROPUS) SPLITBERGERI, Mont. Cent. ii. no. 83; Sylloge, p. 164. no. 522.—Nat-

This Polyporus agrees almost to the letter with the description of P. Splitbergeri in the 
* Sylloge, although the character * contextu aureo-nitido " is hardly applicable to the 
present plant. In the figure the pileus appears zonate, but the apparent zones are 
rather imbrications produced by the successive growths of the pileus. In Polyporus 
Nilgheriensis, Mont. (Sylloge, p. 164. no. 523), а closely allied species, the pileus is de- 
scribed аз * antice prole nova subimbricata," and this description is exactly applicable 
to the present specimen of P. Splitbergeri. This plant being stemless, it might be thought 
that it ought to be placed in the division Apus; but it clearly belongs to the “ proli- 
ficans ” division of Fries, as described in his * Novee Symbolæ Mycologice,’ p. 161, № 
which division the stem is sometimes wanting. :
