146 DESCRIPTION OF TWO NEW FUNGI. 
mentioned by Brown as a Mimosea, with imbricately æstivated | | 
petals. 
(The genus of Cesalpiniee, which in the last number, p. 84, | 
I dedicated to Martius, should, I understand, be pes 
Martia, and not Martiusia.)

This species is given in the account of some Fungi from — 
Van Dieman's Land, in the Annals of Nat. Hist. v. HE p- — 
322, as Lentinus villosus, Kl.. In so doing I had in view the — 
description given of that species in the Linnea, But it 
appears that the specimens communicated by Klotzsch to Fries, zi 
and described in the Synopsis Lentinorum, and in the Epicri- — 
sis Fungorum, do not accord with this description ; neither E 
do those marked by that name in Sir W. J. Hooker's Her — 
barium, which are evidently what was sent to Fries. From . 
these the present species entirely differs, belonging as it does — 
-to the subgenus Scleroma. It is allied to Lentinus furfurosus — 
and L. velutinus. L
