140 UECADES OF FUNGI. 



Hab. On dead wood. Sikkim i Barjeeling, 7500 feet. (Dr. Hooker.) 



Pileus 1^ inch or more broad and long, thin, digitaliform, with the 



aperture expanded, slightly zoned, velvety, or clothed with matted 



down, ochraceous* Edge extremely thin and acute; hymeninm even, of 



the same colour as the pileus. Pores minnte, shallow, angular, about 



[■ of an inch across. Edge nearly entire.

This has to the eye the appearance of a variety of Stereum lohatum. 

 The form is essentially digitaloid, the young pilei appearing like al- 

 mond-shaped sacs : I have seen nothing like it before. / Cellularia

Authentic specimens vary from ferruginous to pale tawny. The 

 Indian specimens are very pale. 



423. P. (Anodermei) vlvax^ n. s. ; pileo subflabelliformi e planta 

 annotina redivivo scabro subtomentoso zonato, margine demum resi- 

 noso; poris parvis,acie acuta sublacera. 



Hab. On dead wood. East Nepal. (Dr. Hooker,) 

 - Pileus 1 inch or more broad, \\ or more long, fixed by the vertex, 

 at first subtomentose, white, scabrous, more or less zoned; margin 

 acute, at length resinose. 

 piments rather thin. Edge acute, at length minutely toothed. 



The old plant becomes black, and quite smooth and shining, with 

 well-marked zones. 



Allied to Tol. iorealis^ but very distinct. 



4)24. P. (Anodermei) Elaiinus^ n. s. ; pileo reniformi vertice elongato 

 glabro radiato-rugoso vemice tenui ochroleuco vestito j contextu albo ; 

 poris minutis angularibus irregularibus. 



Hab. On pine. East Nepal and Sikkim. (Dr. Hooker.) 



Pileus 2 inches or more across, 1 J or more long, subreniform, with 

 the vertex elongated, but attached for some distance, finely wrinkled, 

 covered with a thin shining ochroleucons coat, but scarcely decidedly 

 laccate, substance white, tolerably firm. Pores long, white within, 

 minute, about -j-|^ of an inch across, irregular. 



I find nothing allied to this. It seems rather to belong to the Ano- 



dermous than the Piacodermous group. 



435. P. (Placodermei) medullaris^ n. s. ; pileo amplo gibbo brevissimo 

 laccato, margine obtusissimo recto zoiiato ; poris parvis angulatis, acie 

 obtusa.
