Some of the smaller specimens are regularly zoned. 
44. Hexagonia decipiens, n. sp.; pileo horizontali duro 
suberoso plus minus zonato rufo-fusco velutino margine 
quandoque ferrugineo: hymenio griseo-brunneo, poris mediis 
irregularibus, dissepimentis  crassiusculis. — Drumm. No. 
151, 152. 
On Casuarina, penetrating through the bark. 
Pileus $ of an inch long, 14 inch broad, hard, corky, hori- 
zontal, sometimes much effused at the base, with either about 
three equal convex zones, clothed with a rich, red-brown, 
velvety pile, or with many zones, in which case either the 
whole pileus or the margin is ferruginous; mycelium and 
substance ferruginous, but where it enters the matrix nearly 
white. Hymenium horizontal, greyish brown ; pores 1-30 
of an inch in diam., irregular; dissepiments rather thick. — 
Some specimens are perfectly resupinate, in which case 
the pores are far wider, and sometimes there are pores on 
the pileus 2 or 3 lines broad, probably from the specimens 
having been accidentally reversed. This is one among the 
many instances which show how necessary it is to have Poly- 
port in various stages of growth. In the present case those 
specimens which have grown slowly could scarcely be deter- 
mined, from the specific character drawn up from the few 
zoned individuals, though the relation is evident at once to 
the eye.
