gine acutissimo ; hymenio sub-brunneo ; poris longis pallido- 

 lignicoloribus mediis, acie irregulari denticulata. 



Without habitat. Herb. Mus. Brit. 



Pileus 2\ — 3 inches broad, 1 \ inch long, conchiform, clothed 

 with bright, tawny, straight, short, more or less distinct bristles, 

 distinctly zoned with darker shades ; margin extremely acute 

 and rigid, very slightly waved, substance thin. Hymenium 

 brownish ; pores long, ^ th of an inch broad, pallid wood- 

 coloured, with a distinct trama, middle-sized, irregular ; edge 

 slightly toothed ; margin barren. 



This species is evidently allied to Pol. suaveolens, but it is a 

 much more beautiful plant, and differs greatly in its shortly 

 setose pileus. 



16. Pol. (Trametes) Iceticolor, n. s. Pileo sessili semior- 

 biculari tenui suberoso-coriaceo subzonato carneo-fulvo sub- 

 pruinoso; contextu lignicolori, poris magnis rotundis acie 

 obtusa. On decayed trunks of trees in woods. 



Ceylon. Konig in Herb. Mus. Brit. 



Pileus 2 inches broad, f inch long. Stemless, semiorbicular, 

 thin, suberoso-coriaceous, very obscurely zoned, bright fawn- 

 coloured, slightly uneven, nodulose behind, clothed with ex- 

 tremely obscure pruinose down. Substance wood-coloured, 

 velvety ; edge thin, not lobed. Hymenium nearly even ; pores 

 large, 2 J ¥ th of an inch broad, round, their dissepiments obtuse. 



The only species to which this appears to be allied is Pol. 

 (Trametes) Beyrichii. 



17. Polyp, dubius (Kbn. sub Boleto). Pileo fuligineo-fulvo, 

 coffeato-pruinoso sessili basi effusa semiorbiculari quandoque 

 obliquo tenui duro rigido e sulcis radiantibus zonis decussatis 

 rugoso ; margine obtusiusculo ; contextu duro suberoso cer- 

 vino ; poris mediis badiis irregularibus angulatis dissepimen- 

 tis tenuibus saepe confluentibus. " Bol. dubius, Fl. Zeyl.," 

 Kon. in Herb. Mus. Brit. On rotten wood in shady woods. 



Ceylon, Konig. Herb. Mus. Brit. 



Pileus 3 inches broad, 1^ inch long, stemless, effused at the 

 base, thin, very hard and rigid, semiorbicular, at length some- 

 times oblique, tawny brown, with a coffee-coloured bloom, rug- 

 ged, with radiating furrows, which are crossed by many nar- 

 row zones ; edge thin, but obtuse. Substance hard, corky, 

 fawn-coloured ; pores middle-sized, ^th of an inch broad, bay, 

 irregular, angular ; dissepiments rather thin, often confluent. 



There is a Polyporus also from Ceylon in Konig* s collection, 

 which, though differing in some points, I refer to the same 

 species. Some specimens are scarcely at all zoned, though 

 others, especially when young, have many zones. The most 

 striking difference consists in the absence of the strong radi- 

 ating furrows, which give the state described as normal a re-
