stices quite smooth. The hymenium, in perfect specimens, 
resembles that of Stereum hirsutum. 
Closely related to Ag. merulinus, Mont., but differing in 
the colour of the pileus. There is also a peculiar appearance 
about the hymenium of this species, which is not easily 
expressed in words. It occurs also in Guiana, whence it has 
been sent by Schomburgk.

Answering exactly to the description of Fries in the 
Epicrisis. This species, which is one of the commonest of 
the genus, is generally regarded on the continent as 
L. Berterii, but it is certainly not the species characterised in 
the Epicrisis, though it may possibly be the plant of Sprengel. 
Lentinus villosus, Fr. has white distant gills, and curled 
bristles on the pileus ; Lentinus Berterii, Fr. has, on the con- 
trary, crowded cervino-pallid gills, and the bristles straight.

The species brought by Swarts from funes; which I have 
described and figured from an authentic specimen in the place 
above cited, is what Fries has characterised as L. crinitus; 
but an inspection of the specimen of Agarieus crinitus, in 
the Linnean Herbarium, which is in very good condition, 
shows that the plant of Swartz is different. I have therefore 
named the present species after its original discoverer. I 
shall hope to take another opportunity of examining the 
synonyms of the plant of Liuneus, which is larger, and 
certainly the same with what Brown has figured in the His- 
tory of Jamaica.
