84 A NEW MYXOMYCETE FOR NEW SOUTH WALES. 



and Mass., from N.S. W., has the capillitium attached to persistent 

 papillose plates of the sporangium-wall, and is similar to the 

 Lyme Regis gatherings of A. (Erstedtii, except in the colour, 

 which is now fuliginous-brown." 



2. Badhamia utricularis, Berk., (5. varia, Mass., in part) — 



Tasmania and Victoria. On wood, kc. 



3. Pliysarum cinereum, Pers. — West Australia and Victoria. 



On Sydney lawns (Maiden, Feb., 1898). 



4. Plasmodiopliora brassicce, Woron. Victoria and S. Aus- 



tralia. On roots of Crucifers, causing the disease known 

 as " Club-root" or "Fingers and Toes." 



5. Spu)}iaria alba, DC. — Victoria and Queensland. On grass. 



6. Stemonifis fusca, Roth. — Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania 



and West Australia. On dead wood (Maiden, July, 1895). 



It will be seen from the above that Mr. Maiden has brought 

 to light no less than two out of the six known New South Wales 

 Myxomycetes, and as he is rapidly enlarging our knowledge of 

 the fungi as well as other botanical products of New South 

 Wales, I have no doubt but this group will soon be abreast of its 

 position in the other colonies.
