to expand. Comparison with specimens recently collected 
leaves no doubt that this is immature L. connatus, 
Thwaites 206 furnished L. cretaceus, L. manipulariSy and 
L. lohatns. There was apparently an abundance of speci- 
mens. In Herb. Kew, under L. cretaceus ^ are to be found 
specimens labelled ‘‘ 206 L. cretaceus B. & Br. subnudus 
B. Central Province, common,” others marked ‘‘ 206 Lentinus 
subnudus var. cretaceus B. & Br. Ceylon, G. H. K. T., Nov., 
1867,” and others, ‘‘ 206, cream-coloured, Peradeniya, &c.” ; 
all these are Lentinus subnudus. The type of Lentinus 
lobatus in Herb. Kew is a single specimen on a sheet of five, 
the sheet being marked 206, Lentinus subnudus var. creta- 
ceus ” ; the specimen is merely a lobed example of L. subnudus, 
L. manipularis, type in Herb. Kew, is L. subnudus. The 
examples of Thwaites’ 206 in Herb. British Museum and Herb. 
Peradeniya are all L. subnudus. 
Thwaites 725 was accompanied by an excellent drawing. 
It was divided by Berkeley and Broome into two species, 
Clitocybe candicans Pers. and L. apalus hapalus ” in 
Saccardo). The figure was nd^med Clitocybe candicans, but 
the note on the specimens, ‘‘ tender, white, with the pileus 
perfectly smooth and shining,” was included in the description 
of L. apalus. In the type of L. apalus, in Herb. Kew, one 
cluster of small Lentini, growing on wood, has been marked 
by Berkeley, ‘‘ excl. L. manipularis B. & Br.” ; these are 
L. manipularis, i.e., L. subnudus. The remainder of the type 
of L. apalus grew on the ground, and they are identical with 
the specimens assigned to “ Clitocybe candicans ” ; this is a 
Clitopilus. 
Thwaites’ 609 was divided into L. multiformis, L. infundi- 
buliformis, and L. exilis. In Herb. Kew the type of L. infundi- 
buliformis is L. connatus, and the same is true of the co-type in 
Herb. British Museum. The part of Thwaites 609 assigned 
to L. exilis in Herb. Kew is L. sajor-caju. The type of L. 
multiformis in Herb. Kew contains two specimens, one old 
and dilapidated, the other in better condition ; these are 
L. subnudus. In Herb. Peradeniya Thwaites 609 is repre- 
sented by one sheet bearing five specimens, labelled L. 
exilis, L. multiformis, &c.” ; three of the specimens are L.
