90 , PLANTS FROM NEW CALEDONIA. 
"STEREUM RIMOSUM Berk. in Hook. Journ. Bot. 1851, 169. Ermitage 
Stream; on dying tree. Jan. 155. The present specimens are very young, and 
more or less saucer-shaped, with the hymenium not yet cracked. The species 
is well marked in habit and possesses laticiferous ducts. When dry it is of 
a uniform fawn colour, but the collector’s notes with this, and with a previous 
collection from the same island made by Sarasin, state that it is orange when 
fresh. In the present case it was also observed to exude a red juice when 
touched. India, Ceylon, Tropical Africa. 
CORTICIUM CÆRULEUM (Schrad.) Fr., Epier. 562. Locality not given.

CLAVARIA FLABELLATA Wakefield, sp. nov. 
Fungus albidus, magnus, ad 15 em. altus, valde ramosus. Kami flabel-

cylindraeei, 1-1°5 mm. diam., apicibus fulvitinetis, sepe flabellato-expansis. 
Basidia minuta, 10-15 x 34. Spore hyaline, elliptic, læves, 5-6°5 x 35-5 u. 
Hab, Ad terram humosam in silvis. New Caledonia, Mont Canala ; 
1500 ft. 1276. 
The species is readily distinguished by its large size and by the flattened 
branches. The fan-like expansions at the tips of the branchlets give it a very 
characteristic appearance. Preserved in formalin the plant is uniformly 
ochraceous or pallid, but when fresh it is white, with light brownish tips. It 
is said to be eaten by the natives.
