Ganocterma resmaceum (Bod). 



Pileus up to 12 cm. broad, Pores 4-5 to 1 mm, whitish, later on brown, 8-10 

 mm. long. As regards texture, colour, crust, and spores fully identical with 

 the European Ganodenna lucidum and, according to Mr. Lloyd's notes, only 

 a stipeless form of the latter. Pileus laterally attached, with or without 

 concentric sulcate zones.

Polyporus isidioides, Berk.=P. gilvus, Schw. 



This is not the Typical Gilvus-iorra, but cannot, according to Mr. Lloyd, 

 be separated from it. The pileus of Father Theissen's Brazilian type 

 specimens are light brown, radially furrowed, passing into yellow towards 

 the margin ; the margin itself is shsrp, not bordered. 



In the Indian specimens the surface is of a siena shade with transitions 

 into darkbrown ; the zones are concentric and the margin rounded, border- 

 like and golden yellow. As to texture, pores, etc., they agree perfectly 

 with P. gilvus. 



On dead stems. — Khandala. — No. 75 and 160. 



Polyporus cubensis, Mont. 



According to Mr. Eomell scarcely different. Pileus thin, half-circular, 

 wood-coloured, concentrically furrowed in the peripheric half, crossed by 

 radiating furrows ; in the central part smooth, clay-coloured. Pores 

 darker, roundish, ca. 5 to 1 mm, ; sterile margin narrow, lighter.
