136 DECADES OF FUNGI. 
390. Marasmius hematodes, n.s.; pileo cum lamellis ex hemisphærico 
turbinato umbilicato sulcato purpureo; stipite brevi glabro solido insi- 
titio obseuriore; lamellis paucis adnatis sæpe triquetris. Hook. fil., 
Ser. 2, No. 31. 
Has. On pine-twigs. Sikkim, 11,000 feet. 
Coriaceous, tough, scattered, inodorous.  Pileus à an inch broad, at 
first hemispherical, then taller, with the gills turbinate, umbilicate ; 
margin arched, deeply suleate, vinous-purple. Stem scarce an inch 
- high, not 1 line thick, solid, incurved, far deeper in colour than the 
pileus. Gills thick, broadly adnate, of the same colour as the pileus ; 
interstices even. 
Analogous to 4. hematopus. It will come near 4. ramealis, but the — 
stem is by no means velvety. I do not know of any very nearly allied 
species. 
391. Marasmius Hookeri, n. s.; pileo amplo hemisphærico viridi e 
disco centrali orbiculari umbilicato, profundissime et latissime sulcato ; 
stipite elongato fistuloso deorsum incrassato fulvo ; lamellis distantibus 
paucis pallido-flavis postice rotundatis adnexis. ^ Hook. fil, Ser. 3, 
No.5. Tas. VI 
Has. In copse-wood, on moss. Khassya mountains, 5000 feet. 
June 26, 1850. 
Inodorous, dry, leathery.  Pileus hemispherical, 2 inches across, very 
thin, yellowish-green, smooth, umbilicate in the centre, so as to form 
a yellow dise corresponding with the top of the stem, from which pro- 
ceed about twelve deep and broad furrows, with as many shorter ones at 
the margin, where all are marked with transverse wrinkles. Stem 6 
inches high, 2 lines thick above, 5 at the base, gradually incrassated 
downwards, and ending in a little rather abrupt bulb, firm, tawny, 
fistulose, yellow within. Gills nearly equal, rounded behind, and 
slightly adnexed, pale yellow ; interstices even, except at the margin. 
This is one of the finest fungi with which I am acquainted, and the 
prince of the genus Marasmius. I know of no species with which it 
can be compared. 4. prasius is analogous in colour and sculpture.

Han. On leaves of maple, etc., in pine-woods, Sikkim, 11,000 feet. 
The pileus is darker than usual, and the stem much elongated, but 
_ it appears to be the same with the European species, though the gills,
