CEYLON POLYPORI. 
107 
specimens, labelled ''Pol. siennæcolor B. Panuré ” by 
Berkeley, which were probably named by him prior to 
the Ceylon specimen, but from Cooke’s citation the 
Ceylon specimen is the type. It is plane, subcircular, 
about 5 cm. diameter, with a short lateral stalk ; it 
resembles in colour a dull Pomes lucidus, purple-red, 
but very thin ; the context is eaten out by insects, but 
was apparently pale. The sheet from which it was 
removed by Cooke contained the thin form said to be 
young Pomes dochmius, and the stalked and resupinate 
pieces of P. zonalis, of which the stalked specimens 
were named P. cartilagineus . Except for the colour, 
one might refer P. siennæcolor to P. zonalis also. It 
has a more decided stalk, but is margined behind like 
several recent collections of P. zonalis. 
Polyporus griseus Bres. 
Collected at Colombo and Peradeniya by von Höhnel, 
and described by Bresadola in Ann. Myc., X., p. 494. 
Lloyd considers that this is P. ostreif ormis . 
Polyporus rugulosus Lév. 
Collected by von Höhnel at Peradeniya and recorded 
by Bresadola {loc. cit.). Lloyd states that this is usually 
taken to be P. zonalis ; no type known. 
Polyporus lucidus (Leys.) Fr. 
This species was recorded by Berkeley from Gardner’s 
collection, but was not included in the “ Fungi of 
Ceylon.” There are apparently no Ceylon specimens 
of this species in Herb. Kew. 
Polyporus Âmboinensis (Lam.) Fr. 
Recorded by Berkeley from Gardner’s collection, but 
not included in the ‘‘ Fungi of Ceylon.” No Ceylon 
specimens in Herb. Kew. The specimens I have seen 
of this species in European Herbaria do not impress me 
as being more than immature examples of Pomes 
lucidus. 
Polyporus rufoflavus. 
Collected by Beccari at Colombo, and identified by 
Cesati. This is otherwise only known from America.
