400 MESSRS. BERKELEY AND BROOME’S LIST 
In general habit Z. cyathus comes near to L. descendens, Fr., differing in its un- ; 
branched gills, which are repeatedly dichotomous and very crowded in that species. In 
the figure of Afzelius, quoted by Fries, the gills are delineated as distant; but in the — 
description they are said to be incorrectly drawn. In the single specimen sent from - 
Brisbane the pileus is more than 4 inches across, the gills narrow and unbranched; the — 
whole plant, including the rooting base, is about 6 inches high; the stem nearly equal, : 
and about 7 lines in thickness, pallid, and tomentose, with a few downy patches ofa : 
darker tint near the base. The pileus is dark ochraceous, but clothed, especially towards — 
the centre, with close, dark, velvety, slender lines, extending nearly to the margin. - 
The margin thin, undulate when dry, and slightly recurved in places. There is a copious : 
white mycelium extending from the base of the stem to some distance, among dead leaves | 
&c. It grew in dense scrubs near Brisbane, but was rare.

6. LENTINUS SUBDULOIS, B., Ln. J. of Bot. 1851, p. 46. Brisbane (F. M. Bailey, No. 114). — 
The specimens are in bad condition; there is a lateral stem, tomentose at the base — 
and hirsute above where it joins the pileus; this may, however, be accidental, as the — 
specimen appears to be injured. E

11. LENZITES DEPLANATA, Fr. Brisbane (F. M. Bailey, No. 11). This fine species seems — 
identical with one from Cuba and Ceylon. It comes near to D. glaberrima, B. & C. ; di 
but the pores are longer and wider and more irregular. E

14. PoLtyporus (MrsoPvs) BRUMALIS, Fr. Brisbane (L. A. Bernays, No. 18). : 
The specimens are in bad condition and are said to grow on the ground. P. brumalis — 
occurs on sticks; but the Brisbane plant does not appear to differ. 1 
15. Dorops (Mrsorvs) quaprans, B. & Br. P. pileo rigido, glabro, scutato, tenui, - 
zonato, margine brunneo; stipite brevi, excentrico, pileo concolori; poris minutis, 
rotundis, pallidioribus. 
The single specimen sent is about seven twelfths of an inch across, shortly and excen- E 
trically stipitate, concave below, smooth, of a dark ochraceous colour, with a brownish ` 
margin; pores very minute, nearly round, of the same colour but paler than the pileus. i 
It comes near Polyporus xanthopus, but seems to be quite distinct. Brisbane (F. M. 
Bailey, No. 128. The name is taken from its resemblance to a small piece of money.
