Pileus If of an inch broad, deeply infundibuliform, regu- 

 larly striato-sulcate from within a short distance of the ob- 

 scurely-zoned dark-bay centre, clothed with short fasciculate, 

 tawny, somewhat hispid down, which is denser towards the 

 margin and mixed with long straight browner setae ; margin 

 arched. Gills cinereous brown, distant, ending nearly at the 

 same point, but slightly decurrent, their edge quite entire. 

 Stem li inch high, 2 lines thick at the base, nearly equal, 

 clothed with hispid down unmixed with setae, which extends 

 for some distance up the gills, making a dark band at their 

 base. 



There is a slight resemblance between this well-marked 

 species and Lentinus strigosus, but its closest ally is Lentinus 

 fasciatus.

Pileus f of an inch broad, deeply infundibuliform, pale 

 ochraceous, clothed with somewhat curled, soft, pale, tawny, 

 subfasciculate hairs ; margin deflexed. Gills pale, very nar- 

 row, all ending at the same point, their edge denticulate, with 

 shallow notches. Stem about 1 inch high, about 1 line thick, 

 sprinkled with little downy patches, beneath which it is pale 

 and silky. 



Described from a specimen in the British Museum, marked 

 by Swartz. The synonym of Plumier quoted by Linnaeus and 

 Fries is evidently something very different.

In Herb. Mus. Brit., without habitat. On charred wood. 



Pilei 1 inch broad, scarcely so much long ; stemless, sub- 

 orbicular, subplicate, imbricated, areolate, smooth, but the 

 areolae are minutely cracked, so as to present a pruinose ap- 

 pearance, tawny, with a shade of brick-red. Gills few, very 

 broad, rigid, cinereous, with a sublateritious tinge, not at all 

 dichotomous ; edge entire.
