CEYLON POLYPORI. 
113 
pergamenus Fr., is exactly Polyporus zeylanicus, except 
that the pores are not fully developed ; and another 
specimen, from the Philippines, determined by Bresa- 
dola as Polystictus pergamenus (Berk.) Bres., is the same 
species. It remains to be determined whether P^ 
zeylanicus is a form of T. dermatodes or a distinct 
species.

p. 229. 
There is no tjrpe of this species at Kew or at the 
British Museum. 
— Hexagonia Deschampsii Hariot, Bull. Soc. Myc., France, 
VII., p. 207. 
This species was collected by Deschamps in Ceylon in 
1891. Lloyd states that abundant specimens reached 
Berkeley from Ceylon, and were referred by him to H. 
crinigera. 
— Hexagonia velutina. 
Recorded for Ceylon by Lloyd (Synopsis of the Genus 
Hexagona, p. 14). Lloyd states : “ Nearly the same 
plant (one collection) reached Berkeley from Ceylon. 
He referred it to variegataP So far as I am aware, 
Berkeley never published this record. I regret that I 
overlooked Lloyd’s record, and consequently did not 
examine this species at Kew. 
527. Favolus ruficeps B. & Br. (46 in part). 
Thwaites 46 is represented in Herb. Kew and Herb. 
Peradeniya, sub F. ruficeps. It is Hexagonia rather 
than Favolus. 
528. Favolus brasiliensis Fr. (35 in part). 
Herb. Kew contains sub F . brasiliensis, Thwaites 35, 
marked by him : This has a disagreeable fishy smell 
when fresh,” and also specimens collected by Thwaites 
in 1854. In Herb. Peradeniya B. & Br. 528 and 530 
are on the same sheet. This is apparently not the F . 
brasiliensis figured by Lloyd (Polyporoid issue, No. 2, 
p. 20). ^See B. & Br., 530.)
