Hexagonia 



ritiato rufo pallesccnte glabra ; stipite gracili elongate lateral! ; poris 

 mediis hexagonis e rufo cinercis. Spruce, n. 1. (Tab. V. fig. 4.) 



Hab. On the ground in Caatingas. Paiiure, 



Pileus \-\ inch across, reniform, somewhat pulvinate, red-brown, 

 marked with a few, delicate, raised lines^ at length pallid. Stem late- 

 ral, not confluent with the pileus, cylindrical, delicate, 4-6 inches high, 



1 line thick, pale umber, pruinose. Hymenium nearly plane; pores 

 hexagonal, -^ of an inch across, at first reddish-umber, then cinereous. 



A very elegant species, exhibiting quite a new form of the genus. 



593. ff. erubescens, n, s. ', pileo rigido suberoso rugoso zonato sor- 

 dide umbrino demum setoso-scabro ; hyraenio convexo vinoso ; poris 

 flexuosis. Spruce, n. 40. 



Hab. On dead trunks, Panure, San Carlos. 



Pileus 2^ inches across, dimidiate, slightly convex, rugged, hard and 

 corky, dirty-umber. Hymenium convex, vinous red ; pores ^ of an 

 inch across, flexuous. 



The vinous tint of the flexuous pores distinguish this species, which 

 connects Dcedalea with Rexagonia. — The Panure specimens are nearly 

 smooth I that from San Carlos hispido-scabrous towards the margin, 

 far thinner, and strongly zoned. 



594, Favolus Sprucei, n. s. ; albus, aquosus; pileo orbicular! excen- 

 trico convexo glabro; stipite deorsum incrassato ; hymenio convexulo; 

 poris hexagonis amplis. Spruce, n. 117. (Tab. V. fig. 8.) 



Hab. On dead wood. 



White, soft, and watery. Pileus 1-2 inches across, convex when 

 fresh, shrinking much in drying, smooth. Stem 1 inch or more high, 



2 lines thick, attenuated upwards, excentric ; pores nearly 1 line broad, 



hexagonal, smooth within. 



Allied to R cycloporus, Mont., but on a larger scale. F, manipularU, 

 Berk., from Ceylon, is tufted, with sender stems. F. intestimlk has 

 very large pores and no stem.
