19. Pol. (Apus annuus) vellereus, n. s. ; pileo dimidiato, 
coriaceo-molli tenui, albo dense sericeo-villóso, zonis ob- 
scurioribus angustissimis ; margine acutissimo lobato ; poris 
mediis ochraceis subhexagonis, dissepimentis tenuibus lace- 
ratis dentiformibusque. 
New Ireland, July. 
Pileus 2 inches broad, 1 inch long, of a soft coriaceous 
texture, semiorbicular, attached by a short obtuse stem in 
the same plane with the pileus, dirty white, clothed with 
dense shining silky down, somewhat fasciculate, pressed flat 
and lying in a radiating direction, with a very few narrow 
impressed darker zones. Hymenium ochraceous. Pores 
middle-sized, shallow, angular; dissepiments thin, lacerated 
and elongated into tooth-like processes. 
There is but a single specimen of this beautiful plant, 
which resembles Hezagona sericea. I am not certain whe- 
ther the stem is constant or not ; it does not, however, like the 
spurious stems of many species, arise from the pileus being 
attached by its vertex, as it is in the same plane with the 
pileus. 
20. Favolus nummularius, n. s.; luteus; pileo convexo, 
subumbonato, carnoso ; hymenio subhorizontali; poris ro- 
tundis, radiantibus ; stipite centrali, equali, solido, sub- 
velutino. (Tas. XV) 
On decorticated sticks, New Ireland ; July. 
Dirty yellow. Pileus 2 of an inch brad convex with an 
obscure umbo, fleshy, smooth. Hymenium nearly plane; 
pores rather shallow, nearly round, regularly radiating from 
thestem. Stem 2 of an inch high, incurved, equal, except at 
the base, where it is slightly thickened, minutely velvety, 
Tooting into the wood and on the surface by dark lines. 
This species, which is certainly new, if described and 
figured when dry would afford a very different specific 
_ Character. The pileus, instead of being convex, is then um- 
bilicate, and its whole surface reticulated after the pattern of 
the pores, as though it were quite membranaceous. "The
