SECTION PETALOIDES. 



17. PILEUS YELLOWISH BROWN, GILVUS. HYPHAE 

 DEEP YELLOW UNDER THE MICROSCOPE. 



MALIENCIS. Pileus dark tobacco-brown, rigid, foliaceous, the 

 type being crenately lobed. Stipe short, thick, lateral. Pores short, 

 dark, small. Setae none. There are liberal collections at Kew from 

 Perak. 



ARATOIDES. Close to the preceding and so referred by Bresadola. The 

 type from New Caledonia is more even, not crenate. However, it is probably 

 the same plant. 



DISCI PES. Close to maliencis. but longer pores, not foliaceous, and the 

 type is not so dark in color. Type at Kew is from Ceylon. 



GLAZIOVII. Pileus orbicular, thin, brown, with long, lateral 

 stem, in the same plane. Pores minute, brown. Context is thin, 

 brown. Hyphae yellow (but not deep yellow, hence not truly in this 

 section). Stipe lateral, dull surface. Spores not found, but I believe 

 are white. Only known from specimens at Kew from Brazil.
