DECADES 01^ FUNGI. 



Spreading in little patches, which arise from the confluence of many 

 individuals, resupinate, with the extreme edge reflected. Above clothed 

 with umber or tawny, somewhat velvety down. Hyraenium white, for 

 a long time having only very shallow punctiform pores, with entire ob- 

 tuse borders, at length elongated, -^ of an inch broad; edge rather 

 acute, entire. The new h^^enium springs year after year from the old 

 hymenium, so that some specimens assume the peculiar appearance of 

 old plants of Siereum frusiulatura. 



439. Tramete^ HooJceri, n. s.; pileo reniformi disco lato aflaxo sub- 

 leevi subtiliter pubescente rufescente ; poris subhexagonis mediis ligni- 

 coloribus. 



Hab. On dead wood. Darjeeling. (Dr. Hooker.) 



Pileus subreniform, fixed by a broad orbicular disc, 4 inches across, 

 3 inches long, nearly even, zoneless, finely pubescent, at length acquir- 

 ing a rufous tinge, contracting when dry, as if softer than in the neigh- 

 bouring species; sometimes proliferous, in which case the pilei are 

 much thinner, and more evidently pubescent ; margin acute, substance 

 white. Pores sometimes punctiform, but, when well developed, sub- 



's^ 



This species has much the appearance of Pohjporus ntfescefis. As 

 in some other neighbouring species, the perfect state of the pores is 

 totally different from that which sometimes prevails. 



440, T. crenulata, n. s. ; pileo suberoso subflabellato disco orbiculari 

 affixo postice definite decurrente candido tomcntoso zonato rugoso; 

 raargine tenui crenulato ; poris elongatls mediis sinuosis. 



Hab, On dead wood. Daijeeling. (Dr. Hooker.) 



Pileus corky, 4-6 inches across, 3 inches long, subflabelliform, de- 

 current behind, attached by a broad orbicular disc, white, pubescent, 

 marked with numerous zones, and nigged with radiating elevations. 

 Edge thin, acute, crenulate. Pores white, oblong, ^ of an inch across, 

 sV ^*^"?3 often more or less sinuated; edge obtuse, or, in specimens in 

 which the pores are most developed, rather acute. 



Allied to T, ladea. Berk,, but a distinct species, remarkable for its 

 acute, crenulate border. There is also a state, but clearly not normal, 

 with a more obtuse and entire border, 



441. T, cijigulata, n. s. ; pileo tenui suberoso renifonni crebrizonato 

 subtiliter pubescente ; stipite lateral! disciformi ; poris minutis puncti- 

 formibus, acie integra obtusa.
