FUNGI. 199 



19. Polyporus (imperfectus). 

 Hab. Samoan Group, Navigators' Islands. 



20. Favolus platyporus, Berk. & Curt. (Tab. 1, Fig. 4.) 



F. pileo reniformi sublobato rigidiuscido glabro e contextu supra dissepi- 

 menta contracto reticulato ; poris amplis oblongis subhexagonis, dissepi- 

 mentis emarginatis rigidis, acie sublntegra. 



Hab. Feejee Islands. 



Pileus two and a half inches broad, one and one-half of an inch 

 long, depressed behind, reticulated by the contraction of the sub- 

 stance above the dissepiments, edge very thin and acute. Stem ex- 

 tremely short, disciform. Dissepiments scooped out in the middle; 

 pores two lines or more long, one line broad, but varying much in size. 



Nearly allied to F. alutaceus, Mont. & Berk., but differing in its 

 larger pores and reticulated surface. The pores are more rigid than 

 in any other species with which we are acquainted, except an unde- 

 scribed species from Canada, which has not however the articulated 

 pileus. F. intestinalls, Berk., has pores as large, but is totally different 

 in other respects. A specimen of this species, collected in Java by 

 Horsfield, is in the Schweinitziau Herbarium under the name of Poly- 

 porus Favus. 



21. Thelephora lamellata, Berk. & Curt. (Tab. 1, Fig. 7.) 



T. tota ochracea; pileo infundibidiformi lobato rugoso-lamellato subtditer 

 tomentoso; stipite elongato velutino-tomentoso ; liymenio sulcato rugoso 

 glabro.

Pileus two inches broad, one and one-quarter of an inch deep, lobed,
