nutely granulato-echinulate. The tubes, too, do not separate from the pileus. 

 It will probably form, some day, the type of a disthict genus. 



' Specimens of this occur of various sizes from what Schweintz describes, 

 to five inches across, with the stem eight inches or more high and an inch 

 thick. 



^ The specimens agree exactly with one from the Pyrenees given me by 

 Dr. Montague. Fries.describes the pores as entire, but this character is proba- 

 bly taken from Micheli's figure. 



3 With this is a variety of Polyporus perennis, which Mr. Lea considered a 

 form of P. connatus. There is, however, such an immense difference in the 

 pores, that I can scarcely credit it, though the external resemblance is very 

 strong. 



•» PoLTPoaus fissus: pileo primum infundibuliformi, demum fisso, lobis 

 flabelliformibus, tenuissimo, luteo fusco; stipite brevi, deorsum nigro; hyme- 



nio albo; poris minimis. Pileus one and a half to two inches across, at 



first infundibnliform, at length split once or twice behind into flabellate lobes, 

 extremely thin, quite smooth, minutely striate, yellow-brown; stem scarce 

 half an inch, very minutely velvety, black below ; pores white, invisible to the 

 naked eye, punctiform. Closely allied to Pol. varius, but a much more deli- 

 cate species than any of its allies. The pores are as minute as in Pol. xantho- 

 pus, so that it was sent as a Thelephora.
