190 DECADES OF FUNGI. 
to which it bears a very close resemblance. "This, like 
P. ochreo-laccatus, was not described with the rest of the 
species collected by Mr. Cuming in consequence of its not 
being numbered. I have now, however, seen several speci- 
mens numbered as above. 
/. Hydnum Webbii, n. s. totus resupinatus; subiculo 
effuso a matrice separabili crustaceo rigido fusco ; aculeis 
brevibus conicis obtusiusculis plus minus seriatis cinereo- 
fuscis pruinosis. 
Philippine Isles. Cuming, n. 2172. 
Forming small, elongated, altogether resupinate patches, 
2 inches or more long, thin, crust-like, separating easily from 
the matrix. Subiculum thin, very rigid, brown.  Aculei 
very short, conical, slightly obtuse, not ciliated at the apex, 
arranged in irregular lines, cinereous-brown pruinose from 
short simple white flocci, which clothe the whole of the hy- 
menium. 
This species comes next to H. squalinum and fusco-atrum, 
like the former it approaches somewhat in character to Irpex. 
The spores are probably white. It occurs numbered as 
above in Mr. Webb’s set of Cuming's Philippine collection. 
It does not exist in any of the other sets which I have had 
an opportunity of examining. i 
8. Thelephora radicans, n. s. pileo spathulato vel subin- 
fundibuliformi sublobato, supra fulvo striatulo, subtus fuli- 
gineo ; stipite valido radicante. 
Surinam.  Hostmann, n. 489. 
Plant 14 inch high, 4 of an inch broad, spathulate or sub- 
fundibuliform, split on one side and slightly lobed, minutely 
striate, with raised lines, tawny, coriaceous. Stem $ of an 
inch high, 14 line thick, incrassated at the base, and sending 
off strong branched roots. Hymenium nearly even, fuligi- — 
nous; spores apparently fuliginous. 
This is a far {coarser species than Thelephora aurantia, to 
which it bears a slight resemblance, but differs in many 
respects. I have no doubt that in the recent plant the 
spores are fuliginous, but it is in general impossible to ob-
