MR. Е. СОВВЕУ ON INDIAN FUNGI. 123 
This plant comes so near to P. brunneo-pictus, Bk., that І do not venture to propose 
it as а new species. It differs in its obsolete stem and in the nature of its pores. In 
P. brunneo-pictus the apices of the pores are papular, with a central aperture; and slight 
traces of this structure may be seen at the extreme margin in Mr. Kurz's plant, in which, 
however, the pores are not generally porotheloid, although the dissepiments are unusually 
thick. P. brunneo-pictus is described in Hooker's Journal of Botany, 3rd series, vol. viii. 
p. 176.

The hymenium differs little in colour from the upper side of the pileus. Тһе pores 
are very small, just visible to the naked eye. "The plant varies in the brightness of its tint, 
although always exhibiting a tinge of flesh-colour. In one of Mr. Kurz's specimens the 
pilei are imbricated, and one has a distinct lateral stipes, showing a variability of habit. 
The species was first found by Gardner at Point de Galle, Ceylon, on fallen trees. 
P. (ANODERMET) INCERTUS, n. sp. Pileo in centro tenuissimo, marginem versus іпегаѕ- 
sato et reflexo, leviter zonato, dilute cervino; poris amplis, profundis, irregularibus, 
cervinis. 
Pileus very thin, almost obsolete, except at the margin, where it is thicker, reflexed, 
slightly zoned, and .fawn-coloured. Pores large, deep, irregular, somewhat darker than 
the pileus.

section. 
This is a difficult plant to describe technically on account of its great irregularity of 
growth. It has the appearance of having grown in an almost resupinate position, but 
with the margin to a certain extent free all round. The figure will give a better idea of 
it than any amount of description. Its systematic position is doubtful. It is certainly 
not one of the veritable ** Resupinati;" but whether it belongs to the ** Anodermei " or 
the “ Inodermei ” is very difficult to decide in the dry state. It has no appearance of 
having ever been “ succose ;" but, on the other hand, I see no trace of a cuticle.
