A very beautiful species, characterized by the laciniato-fira- 

 briate margin, grey hymeuium, pale cylindrical or subclavate 

 setae, and the large spores. 



Hymenoch jste Dregean a, Massee. Effusa, resupinata, papy- 

 racea e matrice separabile ochroleuca, supra subtiliter tomentosa ; 

 hymenio rimosiusculo, papillato ; setulis sparsis, tenuibus, cylin- 

 draceis, pallidis, 15-20 X 5-7 ju ; sporse ellipsoidese, 7x5//. 

 Corticium Dregeanum, Berk, in Rook. Land. Journ. Bot. v. p. o. 

 (Type in Herb. Berk. n. 3956.) 



On bark. S. Africa. 



Forming effused ochroleucous somewhat elongated patches, 

 3-4 inches long, 1| inch broad, separable from the matrix, above 

 minutely tomentose ; hymenium glabrous, minutely mealy, rather 

 rugged papillose, slightly cracked. Eesembling somewhat Corti- 

 cium molle, but easily known by its thicker flexible substance, 

 which is separable from the matrix. {Berkeley.) 



A true Hymenochcete ; the set# are slender, scattered, and 

 almost colourless, and sometimes rather rough with minute par- 

 ticles of lime as in Peniophora.
