BECADES OF PUNGI, , 133 



■ This is, perhaps, the most beautiful of all the Lendni, singular for 

 its warty prominences and for its property of staining the hands. It 

 resembles in some respects Agaricus verrucarius^ the figura of which 

 gives a good idea of it, if a velvety down mixed with short bristles be 

 added on the edge. Where the velvety substance is worn off, the sur- 

 face is quite smooth and shining. Old specimens somewhat resemble 

 Leutinus badius, but the warty pileus is an evident distinctive character 

 without entering on other points. In dried specimens a pellicle 

 separates from the umbilicus, carrying the warts with it and leaving 

 the pileus smooth. (Tab. VII. fig. I.)

Hab. On dead timber. Lahore. (Dr. Thomson.) 



Pileus umbilicate ; stem distinct, not hirsute. The specimens are not 

 in a sufficiently good state to determine the species. 



408. Xeroius lobatus, n. s. ; brunneus; pileo reniformi tenui lobato 

 pallescente ; stipite lateral! brevissirao albido-tomentoso vel obsolete ; 

 lamellis distantibus, interstitiis lasvibus subrugosisque, lamellulis subra- 

 diantibus. 



Hab. On dead wood. Khasia Mountains. (Dr. Hooter.) 

 Chocolate-brown, solitary or imbricated. Pileus 1 inch or more broad, 

 |— f long, reniform, lobed^ paler than the hymenium, thin, flexible, 

 marked with lines answering to the gills. Stem extremely short, 

 lateral, clothed with white down, or entirely obsolete. Gills distant, 

 moderately broad, the smaller ones often radiating from the larger ones ; 

 interstices either even or slightly wrinkled. 



In well-grown specimens the disposition of the smaller gills re- 

 sembles that in Agaricus ?'adiaiili$, and gives a peculiar aspect to the 

 species.
