formibus lobatis plicato-rugosis zonatis, brunneis sericeis; 
hymenio ferrugineo demum brunneo, poris mediis angulatis, 
dissepimentis dentatis. Cum. n. 1987. 
Forming orbicular patches, 23 inches in diameter ; resem- 
bling very much in habit Thelephora spadicea. Densely 
imbrieated and confluent ; pilei reniform, or nearly orbicular, 
with a lateral elongation by which they are attached, variously 
lobed; thin and coriaceous, but rather rigid ; rugoso-plicate, 
deep rich brown, with darker zones; at first silky. 
very thin and acute. Pores middle-sized, rather shallow, 
angular, with toothed, büt not elongated dissepiments ; at 
first, ferruginous ; at length, brown, like the pileus.

ginibus late reflexis; pileo tenui albido flexili contextu an- 
gustissimo implexim strigoso margine acuto strigoso-sericeo 
pallide badio; poris mediis angulatis vel sinuato-difformibus

On charred wood. 
This species, which has also been gathered by Drummond 
in New Orleans, is evidently nearly allied to ZYametes lanata 
and occidentalis, and, I may add, to Hezagona serictt; 
which though its pores are rather larger, would be better 
placed in this genus, which is, however, perhaps scarcely 
sufficiently distinct from Polyporus. (See Montagne's Të- 
marks in Ann. Sc. Nat. Nov. 1841, under P. heteroporus ; and 
my own, under Polyporus hydnoideus and occidentalis, D 
Annals of Nat, Hist, v. 3, p. 389.)
