SOME WEST INDIAN FUNGI, 197 



Pona anmctopora B. & G. Walliboo Valley. 



Trametes hydnoides Fr. Friendship Valley and Walliboo Valley. 



T. sulphuratus Fr. Friendship Valley (1200 ft.). 



Favolus fimbriatus Speg. Walliboo Valley. The present species 

 is very closely allied to, if indeed distinct from, F. brasiliensis Fr. ; 

 the main distinction turns on the denticulate or fimbriate edge of 

 the dissepiments in F* fimbriatus, but this character is present in 

 varying degrees in both species. 



Hydnum pallidum C. & E. Walliboo Valley. 



Thelephora Sallei B. & C. Walliboo Valley. 



Stereum obliqaum Mont. & Berk. Walliboo Valley. 



Hypolyssus foetidus, sp. n. Gregarius, foetidus, pallide 

 ochraceus, 1*5-2 cm. alt., durus ; pileo urniformi farcto, supra 

 subdepresso, infra (lateraliter) tecto hymenio ochraceo, sicco con- 

 tiguo, ruguloso ; stipite tenui, aequali, glabro ; sporis globosis, 

 hyalinis, 3 /x diam. 



Hab. Ad ligna emortua. Walliboo Valley. 



Distinguished from H. Montagnei by the very foetid odour, 

 rugulose hymenium (when dry), but not cracked, and the smaller 

 spores. 



Plate 325, fig. 3, fungus, nat. size ; fig. 4, vertical section of same, nat. size ; 

 fig. 5, spores, x 500. 



Bovista incarnata, sp. n. Globoso-depressa ; endoperidio 



papyraceo, levissimo glaberrimo, incarnato, vertice rumpente ; 

 exoperidio granuloso brunneo secedente ; capillitio sporisque echin- 

 ulatis ecaudatis obscure olivaceis, 4 /x diam. 



Hab. Ad truncos emortuos ; Walliboo Valley. 



Gregarious, 2-3 cm. across ; allied to B. velutina in habit, but 

 distinguished by its larger size, deciduous exoperidium, and flesh- 

 or copper-coloured endoperidium. 



Plate 325, fig. 12, a single specimen, nat. size ; fig. 13, section, nat. size ; 

 fig. 14, spores, x 400.

Hab. Ad terrain ; Friendship Valley. 



Very foetid at maturity, 



Plate 325, fig. 1, fungus, nat. size; fig. 2, section through a specimen 

 before the volva is ruptured ; a, outer layer of volva ; a x , inner layer of volva ; 

 b, gelatinous median layer of the volva ; c, semiliquid mass arising from the 

 deliquescence and disintegration of the hymenial elements, — basidia and para- 

 physes, — and containing the spores in suspension. The very offensive smell is 

 produced by this mass ; d, tramal plates of the hymenium ; e, the curtain or 

 veil before its expansion to form the pendulous network ; the present structure 

 originates from the upper portion of the stem within the pileus ; /, the hollow 

 stem, x 2 ; fig. '^ a, a basidium bearing eight sessile spores, also free spores, 

 x 1000 ; tig. 2 b, portion of network of veil, x 5. 



Spharostilbe cinnabarina Tul, Friendship Valley. 



Hypoxylon discolor B. & Br. Walliboo Valley. It is very 

 interesting to note that the present well-marked species, hitherto 

 known only from Ceylon, should occur in the West Indies.
