XXXII. — Notice of some Fungi collected by C. Darwin, Esq., 

 during the Expedition of H. M. Ship Beagle. By the Rev. 

 M. J. Berkeley, M.A., F.L.S. 



[With Plates, No. VIII. and IX.] 



The Fungi here noticed were placed in my hands some time 

 since by Prof. Henslow. I am not certain whether they are 

 all that were collected by Mr. Darwin, though it is probable, 

 from the great mass of other matter upon his hands, that such 

 is the case. Though the number is small, two of them at least 

 are quite new, and the Dcedalea is one of the most beautiful 

 of its race. 



1. Polyporus sanguineus, Meyer (No. 464). 

 Rio Janeiro. May. 



2. Stilbum lateritium, n. s. Gregarious, bursting from be- 

 neath the bark, solitary or subfasciculate, pale brick-red ; 

 stems about 1 line high, thickest at the base and dusky ; often 

 confluent and flattened, pruinose from the presence of short 

 curved obtuse flocci. Capitula ovate or subhemispherical, 

 minutely setulose. Sporidia oblong. 



Rio Janeiro. May. With the last. This is certainly very 

 near to Stilbum cinnabarinum 9 Montagne, e Ann. d. Sc. Nat/ 

 n. s. vol. viii. p. 360, a species found in Cuba, of w T hich I have
