Alveoli 1 line broad, 2 lines long, 2 — 3 lines deep. The most 

 obvious mark of distinction between this and the following 

 species^resides in the less rigid dissepiments. I think it very 

 doubtful whether the living plant is at all liver-coloured. I 

 suspect it is rather ochraceous. 



Mauritius. Mr. Telfair. 



3. F, [Pleuropus) canadensis, Kl. 1. c. Nearly sessile, with 

 only the rudiment of a stem, of a tough, fleshy substance, rigid; 

 pileus reniform, at first minutely squamose, tawny ; margin 

 entire ; alveoli deep, 6-sided, elongated, dirty white ; disse- 

 piments rigid. Pileus 1^- inch broad, | inch long.

Cantharellus. 



C (Mesopus) canadensis, Kl. MSS. in Hook. Herb. Pi- 

 leus, together with the stem, turbinate, fleshy, smooth, even, 

 white, deeply infundibuliform ; folds forming elongated alveoli, 

 dichotomous above ; stem confluent with the pileus, compact, 

 smooth. Pileus nearly 2 inches high, ^ an inch thick.

It is impossible to say what the colour of the folds may have 

 been in the fresh plant. When dry the pileus is pallid ; the 

 folds are darker and run for some distance down the stem. 

 The nearest affinities of this species appear to be with C. cla- 

 vatus. If it were not so much depressed it would form an ad- 

 dition to the section Gomphus,

1. D. [Pleuropus) Icevis, Hook, in Kunth. Syn. vol. i. p. 9. 

 Stem short, thick, lateral. Pileus thin, suberoso-coriaceous, 

 expanded, reniform, emarginate, quite smooth, zoneless, even; 

 margin acute. Gills broader than the flesh, straight, ex- 

 tremely close, anastomosing. Stem | of an inch long, and 

 broad. Pileus 1| inch long, 2^ inches broad, scarce ^ of an 

 inch thick. Sinuli mostly linear. Colour in the dry plant yel- 

 low brown, in the fresh plant it is probably pallid ochraceous.
