rather consisting of an aggregation of distinct, oblong, subspathulate individuals, 
which are more or less confluent, whereas in no. 277 the divisions run down into a 
distinctly divided stem. A variety of this species, or perhaps the same in a more 
advanced condition, was sent under по. 319. It does not curl up in the same way, and 
the hymenium is dull brown.

orbiculari rigido rugoso tomentoso margine reflexo, hymenio glabrato pallido-

This species is intermediate between S. rugosum and 5. битий: The pileus is 
tomentose, gilvous, slightly reflexed and zoned; the hymenium uneven, glabrous, of a 
brownish ochre colour, and concentrically zoned, fixed by the centre; when young cup- 
shaped; the substance rhubarb-coloured. It is much more rigid than $. lobatum, 
differing from 5. rugosum in the substance of the pileus. Brisbane (F. M. Bailey, 
nos. 162, 163, 225).

206. CorTICIUM AMORPHUM, Fr. 
This plant closely resembles in habit and colour C. amorphum. It seems immature ; 
but the spores are not like the bodies supposed to be the spores in the species alluded 
to, but resemble those of a Cyphella, ovate, pointed at each end, and 0:0009 inch long.

Forms roundish patches of a dull ochraceous or gilvous colour, cracked in drying, and 
slightly fimbriate at the margin; the substance is composed of loose branched threads 
closely adhering to the matrix; the surface is rough under the lens with conical cystidea 
and brown spherical spores, 0-0004 to 0:00045 inch in diameter. It would come under 
the subgenus Peniophorus of Cooke. The attachment of the spores has not been seen.
