FLORA OF NEW ZEALAND.

2. Stereum lobatum, Kze. in Weig. Exs. 



Hab. On dead wood, Bay of Islands, J. D. It., etc. 



The specimens exactly accord with authentic S. Boryanum, Fr., which I consider certainly the same species 

 with S. lobatum. 



3. Stereum cinereo-badium, Fr. Ep.p. 547. Klotzscl, Nov. Act. v. 19. t. 5. Thelephora badia, Hook. 

 Bot. Misc. v. 2. t. 84. 



Hab. On dead wood, Colenso, etc. 



4. Stereum vellereum, Berk. ; resupinato-ambiens, margine demum late libero lobato, sursum stup- 

 peo-strigosum versus marginem zonatum, liymenio ochraceo lsevi. 



Hab. On dead twigs, Colenso. Middle Island, Lyall. 



Spreading for several inches over dead twigs, which it half surrounds, but at length becoming free, with a broad 

 lobed border ; above dirty white, except towards the zoned margin, where it assumes an ochraceous tinge, clothed 

 behind with rather coarse, tow-like fibres, those on the younger portion, with which the extreme edge is ciliated, being 

 finer. Hymenium even, ochraceous. — This species is nearly allied to Stereum striatum,, but is distinguished by its 

 coarse coat. It is a very pretty Fungus, though perhaps scarcely sufficiently distinct from the North American- 

 species. 



5. Stereum Jiirsutum, Fr. Up. p. 549. 



Hab. On dead wood, Bay of Islands, /. D. II. 



6. Stereum phceum, Berk.; pileo dimidiato sessili tenui coriaceo-flexili zonato breviter iiirto subvelu- 

 tino badio, liymenio pileo conformiter sulcato setuloso ferrugineo. 



Hab. On dead wood, Bay of Islands, /. D. II. 



Pileus lf-2 inches broad, 1 inch or more long, dark bay, variegated with paler zones, clothed with, short, 

 matted hairs, thin, but rather coriaceous, dimidiate, sessile. Hymenium zoned like the pileus, bay, with a ferrugi- 

 nous bloom, setulose.— A very beautiful species, without the slightest yellow or rhubarb tint. It resembles S. ru- 

 biginosum, but is far more freely developed, and very different in texture. 



* Stereum rugosum, Fr. Ep.p. 552. 



Hab. On dead wood, Colenso. 



A coarse, rigid form, with a distinct, zoned, velvety pileus. 



7. Stereum papyrinwm, Mont. Cuba, p. 374. 

 Hab. On dead wood, Colenso. 



Thelephora crassa, Lev., is scarcely a different species, though thicker and with a free margin. 



8. Stereum latissimum, Berk. ; longe lateque effusum, candidum, sub lente minutissime subtomen- 

 tosum, margine abrupto. 



Hab. On bark of trees, Sinclair. 



Forming patches many inches in length, and breadth, very thin, following all the inequalities of the matrix, 

 chalk-white, under the lens very minutely subtomentose ; margin abrupt, by no means byssoid. — Resembling Stereum 

 aeerinum, but a thinner, more effused plant. It appears to grow on living branches, but is certainly no Lichen, as 

 it is without gonidia. 



Gen. XVI. COETICIUM, Fries. 



Hymenium ampbigenum; vegetum et fertile tumens, carnoso-molle, udum, undulatum papillosumve, 

 siccitate collabens, tevigatum, saepissirne rimoso-incisum sed nunquam flocculoso-deliqueseens.
