274 DECADES OP FUNGI. 



scure, raised lines, then expanded and flabellate, deeply fissured, nearly 

 to the base. Stems short or obsolete, arising from a common mem- 

 branous mycelium, which occurs in patches or Spreads round the whole 

 branch. 



The habit is precisely that of Cantharellus partittiSy B. No species 

 can be more distinct. Occasionally there is a tendency in the hyme- 

 nium to become venose, but probably only from contraction in drying.

 glabrescente subtiliter lineato ; stipite luteo velutino laterali cum pileo 

 confluente; hymenio pallido subzonato. Spruce, n. 175. 



Hab. On wood on the banks of the Eio Negro. 



Pileus f of an inch long, -| broad, spathulate or subflabelliform, cu- 

 neate below, clothed behind with scattered bristles, which vanish m 

 front, leaving however as their representatives fine raised lines, red- 

 brown, with a pale margin. Stem i-f of an inch high, yellowish, 

 velvety, hispid above, attached by a round disc. Hymenium pale, 

 ochraceous, with one or two dark zones, smooth. 



Analogous to Polyporus luteus, of which it has very much the ap- 

 pearance.
