ENUMERATION OF FUNGI. 147 
An extremely pretty | species, undoubtedly very near 
L. striata, but in several respects not answering to its cha- 
racters. 'lhe structure of the gills and the habit resemble 
those of L. tricolor, as figured by Bulliard.

On wood. 
Specimens occur, both dimidiate and resupinate, with the 
margin depressed. 
7. Polyporus (Mesopus) Cumingii, (n. sp.); pileo tenui 
duro coriaceo cyathiformi ferrugineo pulverulento-tomentoso 
subazono, margine acuto; hymenio subcinnamomeo; poris 
minutissimis ; stipite crasso extus spongioso. Cum. n. 1986. 
On the ground. 
Pileus 2 inches or more across, thin, coriaceous, but rigid, 
irregularly cup-shaped, very obscurely zoned, slightly rugose, 
ferruginous, clothed with extremely minute down, so as to 
give it a pulverulent appearance; margin expanded, thin, 
acute. Stem 13-2! inches high, 3 an inch thick, obtuse at 
the base, coated ge spongy down. Hymenium cinna- 
mon-brown, shot with ferruginous ; pores very minute, not 
visible to the naked eye, with very thin dissepiments, about 
as deep as the substance of the pileus. 
Very closely allied to Pol. tomentosus (Fr.), but distin- 
guished by its thin, cyathiform, nof thick and convex pileus. 
It belongs to the same series as Pol. perennis, Montagnei 
and parvulus, but is a much stouter plant. 
8. Pol. (Mesopus) zanthopus, (Fr.); stipite centrali. Cum. 
n. 2035. 
— stipite longo laterali castaneo. Cum. n. 2033, 2032. 
— stipite brevissimo vel nullo. Cum. n. 2039. 
These forms certainly belong to one species. The second 
appears to be the same as P. affinis, (Nees v. Esenb.). Itis 
to be observed that the dark colour of the stem arises from 
the chestnut coating of the pileus being spread all round it, 
in consequence of its lateral growth. Nees von Esenbeck's 
figure exactly represents our plant. 
9. Pol. (Pleuropus) Amboinensis, (Fr.) Cum. n. 1985.
