140 MR. GEORGE MASSEE ON THE THELEPHOREX. 
CONIOPHORA CONSPERSA, Fr. Late et indeterminate effusa, 
membranacea, ambitu byssina, pellieulaque aureis; sporarum 
acervulis nullis floccis obvolutis nudis, olivaceo-cinereis.—H y- 
pochnus conspersa, Pr. in Linnea, v. p. 529; Epier. p. 570. 
On bark. Brazil. 
CONIOPHORA BROOMEIANA, Massee. Maculiformis, mox con- 
fluendo effusa, ambitu fibrilloso-radiata ; bymenio subtiliter pul- 
verulento, pallido cinerascente; spore cylindrico-ellipsoidee, 
dilute olivacee, 10x3 y.—Thelephora Broomeiana, Berk. in 
Herb. (Type in Herb. Berk. n. 3663.) 
On bark. Ceylon. 
Closely adnate in small patches which soon become confluent. 
PENIOPHORA, Cooke. 
Resupinato-effusa ; hymenio setuloso, setulis hyalinis, verrucu- 
losis, fusiformibus ; spore albe, hyaline. (Pl. XLVII. ff. 14-19.) 
Established by Cooke (Grevillea, viii. p. 20) for the reception 
of a number of species previously included in Corticium, and 
characterized by the presence of large spindle-shaped, colourless 
eystidia (metuloids of Cooke) projecting above the surface of the 
hymenium, and generally rough with amorphous masses of oxalate 
oflime. The relative number and size of the cystidia vary much 
in some species, so that while constituting a good generie cha- 
racter, their specific value is but slight; the measurements given 
refer to the length above the level of the hymenium and width 
at widest part. 
A. Margine libero, plus minus reflexo. 
PENIOPHORA PAPYRINA, Cooke.  Tenuissima, coriaceo-papy- 
racea, pileo latissimo effuso reflexo, strigoso-hirsuto, cinereo con-

purascente, setulis pubescenti-velutino; cystidia fusoidea, circa 
80x 12 u ; spore subglobosæ. 6 u.— Cooke, Grev. viii. p. 20, pl. 124.
