SOME EXOTIC FUNGI. 
By M. C. Cooke. 
Polyposus (IVIes.) veluticeps, Cooke. 
Pileo lento orbiculari, centro umbilicato velutini-tomentoso 
pallido, obscure concentrice lineato-zonato, margine acuto fusco, 
stipite erecto, abrupte nigro glabro, contextu pallido, hymenio 
albido pallido poris subrotundis minimis aequalibus (£ mm.) circa 
marginem sterili. 
On wood. Senna Mozambique (Sir J. Kirk, July, 1859). 
Pileus 1 in. broad stem, 1 in. long, ^ in. tLick. 
Mycenastzum (Sterbeeckia) lycopexdioides, Cooke. 
Album, pyriforme (1-1-^ one. lat. 2 unc. alt.), laeve, glabrum, in 
stipite sterili productum ; capillitio sporisque flavido-olivaceo, filis 
crassis, laevibus, plerumque simplicibus, bine illic turgidis (*()05--015 
mm. diam.). Sporis globosis laevibus ('0045 mm.), spiculis rectis 
persistentibus ornatis. 
Amongst moss. Nila valley, Garhwal (India), 12*000 feet. 
This, together with M. Oregonense, Ellis, and M. leiospermum, 
will belong to a sub-genus, for which the name of Sterbeeckia may 
be revived, in which the spores are small and smooth, and the 
capillitium branched, but without the spinulose projections. 
JEcidium Cephalandrae, Cooke. 
Hypophylla. Maculis orbicularibus, fuscis, parvulis, peridiis(4-6 
vix ultra), albidis, semi-immersis, leniter fimbriatis, sporis flavidis. 
On Cephalandra palmata. Natal (Wood, 829). 
Spots not more than 1-3 mtn. in diameter. Probably this is re- 
lated to Puccinia Cephalandrce , Thum, and Uredo dolichospora , 
Thum, or one of them. 
Puccinia Lagenophorae, Cooke. 
I. JEcidium Lagenophorce. Epiphyllum. Maculis nullis. 
Peridiis sparsis, semi-immersis, lacerato-marginatis, albis, sporis 
globosis (*012 mm.). 
II. Uredo Lagenophorce. Soris sparsis minimis pul vendentibus 
fuscis, vel sequenter immixtis, sporis globosis (*02 mm.), fuscis, 
episporio asperulo. 
III. Puccinia Lagenophorce. Epiphylla, soris sparsis, atro- 
fuscis, subpulverulentibus, sporis clavatis, medio constrictis, fuscis 
loculo supero obscuriore, obtuso, subgloboso, episporio incrassato, 
laevi, loculo infero in stipitem brevem attenuato (*04-*045 x *02 
mm). 
On living leaves of Lagenophora Billardieri. Omeo, Australia. 
Fuccinia Ipomeae, Cooke in Rav. Amer. Fungi. No. 792. 
I. PEcidium convolvuli, var. Ipomece. Schweinitz. 
III. Epiphylla, soris in circulos supra ^Ecidiis efformantibus, 
vel hypophyllis, cum iEcidiis vetustis immixtis, atro fuscis, pul- 
verulentibus. Sporis elliptico-fusiformibus, magnis medio con- 
strictis, leniter asperulis, atro fuscis (*U5-*06 x *02-*03 mm.), pedi- 
cellis crassis, elongatis, hyalinis (*06 mm. long, *004-*01 mm. crass.)
