Rev. M. J. Berkeley on some Fungi from St. Domingo. 19j 



No. 17 is, I suppose, a variety of the same species, specimens 

 of which from Guiana were formerly distributed under the name 

 of L. brunneola ; but though thinner and more uniform in colour, 

 I have since seen so many forms, that I am doubtful as to the 

 stability of the species. 



18. Polyporus (Pleuropus) vinosus, n. s. Pileo reniformi tenui 

 zonato subtiliter velutino glabrescente vinoso ; hymenio concolore, 

 poris minimis hexagonis, Salle, no. 43. On dead wood. 



Pileus 2 inches across, 1 inch long, reniform, attached by a 

 short disciform stem, which is sometimes more visible below than 

 above, thin, rigid when dry and incurved, repeatedly zoned, of a 

 dark vinous brown, very minutely velvety, at length nearly 

 smooth, margin very thin and acute. Hymenium of the same 

 colour as the pileus ; pores very minute, but regularly hexagonal ; 

 dissepiments very thin, substance dark like the pileus. 



A very remarkable species, to which I can point out nothing 

 closely allied. When young it is paler and rather tomentose 

 than velvety. 



19. Pohjporus sanguineus, Fr. Ep. p. 64; Salle, no. 32. On 

 dead sticks. One of the specimens shows very clearly that Odontia 

 miniata, Berk, and Curt., is merely a rcsupinate state of this spe- 

 cies, as pointed out to me since the publication of the supposed 

 new Fungus, by Mr. Curtis. 



20. Pohjporus (Anodermei) dorcas, n. s. Pileo sub reniformi 

 postice affixo convexo crassiusculo crebri-zonato subtomentoso 

 opaco cervino ; hymenio umbrino ; poris mediis irregularibus ; 

 dissepimentis subacutis rigidis. Salle, no. 41. On dead wood. 



Pileus \\ inch or more across, 1 inch long, subreniform, fixed 

 behind by a broad disc, rather thick, convex, marked with nume- 

 rous zones, which are sometimes raised, sometimes depressed, 

 opake, not shining, minutely tomentose, slightly striate, of a pale 

 fawn colour. Hymenium browner than the pileus, plane or 

 slightly convex ; pores irregular, often elongated and sinuated, 

 about -g^jth of an inch broad ; dissepiments rigid, subacute, 

 slightly toothed. 



This species, though thicker, has somewhat the appearance of 

 P. Menziesh, but has larger pores, by which character again it 

 is at once distinguished from P. brunneolus, as also from P. Cu- 

 bensis, with which it has a greater or less resemblance. It appears 

 to be certainly undescribed. 



21. Polyporus cinnabarinus, Fr. Ep. p. 473; Salle, no. 29. 

 On charred wood. 



2:2. Polyporus holosclerus, Berk, in Hook. Lond. Journ. of Bot. 

 vol. vi. p. 501 ; Salle, no. 40. On dead wood. 



23. Polyporus versicolor, Yt. Ep. p. 478 ; Salle, no. 44. On 

 dead wood. A pale form approaching P. velutinus.
