appear to agree better with Favolus than with Poly- 
porus. This is probably the species collected by 
Beccari at Peradeniya, and recorded by Cesati as 
“ Favolus cillario Mntg.” 
437. Polyporus olivaceo-fuscus B. & Br. (826). 
Part of Thwaites 826 is in Herb. Kew, and the 
remainder in Herb. Peradeniya, sections of the same 
single specimen. This is apparently an immature 
example of Boletus ^ortentosus B. & Br. (see Ann. 
Peradeniya, IV., p. 58). 
438. Polyporus oblectans Berk. (Gardner 60, cum icone). 
Gardner 60 is in Herb. Kew. Fide Lloyd, the Ceylon 
examples are nearer cinuamomeus than oblectans, 
439. Polyporus rugosus Nees (728, cum icone ; Gardner 57). 
Gardner 57 in Herb. Kew contains young specimens 
Thwaites 728 in Herb. Peradeniya contains three 
examples ; the remainder in Herb. Kew is Polyporus 
rugosus^ except for one specimen. The latter is thicker 
than usual, with a superior lateral attachment, but the 
stalk is wanting ; it resembles some forms of Fomes 
lucidus, but the specimen was not cut to confirm this 
surmise. Berkeley and Broome’s note, “ Pileus when 
fresh somewhat brick-coloured,” is incorrect ; the 
immature pileus becomes red when cut or bruised. 
440. Polyporus xanthopus Pr. (377 in part). 
Herb. Kew contains six specimens froüi Gardner, 
one from Thwaites, 1850, and others, Thwaites 377. 
Herb. Peradeniya contains part of Thwaites 377. This 
species was recorded for Ceylon by Berkeley from. 
König’s collection. 
441. Polyporus hemicapnodes B. & Br. (600). 
Herb. Peradeniya contains eight examples of 
Thwaites 600. In Herb. Kew are Thwaites 600, May, 
1868, and another sheet marked Thwaites 600, March, 
1869. The latter appears to be a different species, but 
the specimens are too much insect-eaten to determine. 
The type in Herb. Kew is marked by Bresadola
