but as these appear to have been taken from Micheli's figure, 
and Dr. Montagne's plant from the south of France, (of 
which I have a specimen,) is referred to P. arcularius by

Sept. 1844. 
A Polyporus (n. 57) occurred at Kadaganava on the ground 
in open places, July, 1844, which appears to be undeseribed, 
but, unfortunately, is in too imperfect a state to describe. 
The pileus is lateral, exactly as in P. longipes, Léveillé, of 
which it has just the habit; the stem is incrusted, but not 
laceate; the pileus dark-brown, scarcely incrusted; pores 
short, small and round.
