46 DECADES OF FUNGI, 
Has. On trunks of trees. Darjeeling, 7,500 feet. June, J uly. 
Inodorous. Pileus 3 inches across, convex, at length more or less 
expanded, smooth, moist, but not viscid, of a reddish liver-brown, 
sometimes slightly zoned. Substance thick, rather tough and leathery, 
pale red. Stem 1-14 inch high, 3-1 of an inch thick, hard, solid, 
nearly equal, blunt, of a browner tint than the pileus. Gills much 
crowded, moderately broad, commencing beyond the margin, entire, 
rounded behind, white or shaded with pink. 
. The pileus is sometimes excentric, with an ascending stem, some- 
times quite regular. Its general habit indicates the division Pleurotus 
of the Agarics, but its tough leathery substance Lentinus. Its colours 
remind one of Lentinus resinaceus, Trog, and the regular individuals 
resemble at first sight Lactarius subdulcis. 
325. L. subdulcis, n. s.; albus; pileo imbricato multiplici-lobato 
estriato glabro, margine ineurvo; stipite spurio vel obsoleto ; lamellis 
latiusculis subdistantibus. Hook. fil., No. 25, cum ic. 
Has. On dead wood. Darjeeling, 7—8,000 feet.” May. I have 
what I believe to be the same species, but in a bad state, from Ceylon. 
White, imbricated, subflabelliform, variously lobed. Pileus 3 inches 
broad, smooth, not striated, somewhat depressed behind; margin in- 
curved; substance thin, but tough. Stem obsolete, or consisting of 
a short, thick, irregular, horizontal projection from the vertex. Gills 
rather distant, broadish, slightly rounded behind; edge entire, occa- 
sionally the gills are somewhat decurrent. 
Fries makes the difference between Panus and Lentinus to consist 
in the respectively unequal and entire, or equal and toothed gills. 
This character is, however, by no means constant; Lentinus Djamor, 
to which this species is nearly allied, several of Léveillé’s spegies, not 
to mention the whole section Scleroma, have gills as entire as in any 
Panus. . The present is a very pretty species, distinguished from 
L. Djamor by its highly lobed pileus and involute margin. It has 
a faint, rather sweet odour, from which I have taken its name. 
326. Panus monticola, n. s.; solitarius; pileo depresso lobato tenui 
-sicco glabro pallido; stipite erecto elongato centrali solido velutino; 
lamellis angustis integris descendentibus. 
Has. On the ground, probably attached to wood. Tonglo.

pressed or subinfundibuliform. Stem 2 inches or more high, very
