394 Rev. M. J. Berkeley on Exotic Fungi, 



Pileus coriaceous, thin, reddish-grey, silky, elegantly zoned, 

 flabelliform, lobed ; margin incised ; pores brown, deeply torn, 

 towards the jnargin plane, entire. Pileus obsoletely zoned, 

 2| inches long and broad, narrowed behind, at length smooth. 

 Margin very thin, sometimes toothed. Dissepiments forming 

 long ligulate processes. 



In the warmer parts of North America. It is also marked 

 Polyp, amcenus, Klotzsch, from the Cape of Good Hope. Mr. 

 MuUer. 



53. P. [Apus, Ann, Cor.) Drummondii, Kl. 1. c. Pileus im- 

 bricated, obsoletely zoned, white tinged with red-brown, thin, 

 subpapyraceous, attenuated at the base ; margin dilated, in- 

 cised, pendulous ; pores of the same colour, unequal, toothed, 

 plane towards the margin. Pilei 3 — 6 lines broad, 8 — 15 lines 

 long, obsoletely zoned, longitudinally rugulose, often laterally 

 connate, attached at the base by a few byssoid fibres. Disse- 

 piments very thin, inciso-dentate. 



New Orleans. Mr. Drummond. 



54. P. [Ap. Ann, Cor.) palmatus, Hook. 1. c. sub Hydno, 

 Pileus palmate, deeply incised and fimbriate, rufescent, shghtly 

 zoned, smooth, shining; pores middle-sized, shallow; disse- 

 piments thin, toothed. Pileus 1\ inch long, 2 inches wide. 

 A very elegant species. By an error of the press lines have 

 been substituted for inches in Kunth's synopsis. The colour 

 of the pileus is rufescent rather than yellow-brown. 



New Granada. Humboldt. 



55. P. [Apus, Ann, Cor,) theleplioroides, Hook, in Kunth. 

 Syn. vol. i. p. 1 0. sub Boleto, Flabellate, plicate, very thin, 

 longitudinally rugose, somewhat flexuous, brown; pores of 

 the same colour, microscopic. Pileus 2 inches long, 4 inches 

 broad. Hymenium even. Pores quite invisible to the naked 

 eye, so that it looks like a Thelephora, 



Near Loxa. Peru. Humboldt. A most distinct species, 

 resembling none with which I am acquainted. Without more 

 perfect specimens it is not easy to say what are its nearest af- 

 finities. 



56. P. (Resup.) arenarius, Kl. 1. c. Very widely efiused ; 

 pileus resupinate, dirty white with a slight rufous tinge ; pores 

 rather distant, plane, unequal, sinuous.
