168 DECADES OF PUNGI. 



ating lines or wrinkles; at first tomcntose, then smooth. Stem ohso- 

 lete, or confluent with the base of the pileus. Spines VC17 slender, 

 acute, decnrrent. 



This species has many points in common with H, niffrum, but it is 

 strongly zoned, and there is no true stem, or scarcely any. Whether 

 the spines are in any stage white, I am unable to say.

449. Irpex zonaitis,i[\,^,i ligneo-pallens ; pileis imbricatis subflabel- 

 liformibus coriaceo-rigidis zonatis subtiliter tomentosis glabrescentibus, 

 margine lobatis, dentibus basi compressis, 



Hab, On dead wood, surrounding sticks. Sikkim; East Nepal. 

 November 8. (Dr. Hooker.) 



Imbricated, pale wood-coloured, Pileus 4 inches or more broad, 2 

 inches long, laterally confluent, more or less flabelliform, with the mar- 

 gin lobed, marked with numerous concentric grooves, rugose, very finely 

 tomentose, at length smooth. Hymenium tinged with brown; teeth 



compressed at the base, laterally confluent, above 2 lines long, quite 

 smooth. 



A splendid species, which may be compared with L canescens, with 

 the habit of /. incrustans, Berk, and Mont., a species from British 

 Guiana. The Nepal specimens are more even, and do not exceed an 

 mch in length; they are probably younger. Trom these it appears 

 that the original form is elongato-flabelKform.

And var. orhicularis.^PoIyporus Jlavus, var. orbicularis, Junghuhn,

Hab. On old bamboo of Boat; Ganges. March

Exactly according with the figure of Junghuhn, and in habitat. The 



myecHuna in his plant runs in the cavity of the bamboo, and bursts 



through holes perforated by insects, and the Ganges plant appears to 



grow m the same manner. The substance is yellow, but the outer sur- 

 face is bleached.

 lusco pallescente subzonato fasciculatira substrigoso ; hymenio fusco.
