CLADODERRIS SCRUPULOSA. A specimen at Kew collected by Cantley 

 in Mauritius, has the characters of Cladoderris spongiosa, excepting the pileus is 

 strongly uneven. I think it is only a form.

 Type specimen. 



CLADODERRIS INFUNDIBULIFORMIS (Figs. 527, 528 r 

 and 529, pp. 8 and 9). Pileus thin, reddish brown, slightly tomentose, 

 uneven, with narrow ridge-like folds. Shape varying from infundi- 

 buliform, with mesopodial, short stem to flabellate, orbicular, with 

 short, lateral stem. Hymenium rather narrow folds, with warts. 



This species, originally from Philippines, occurs also in Africa. 

 All the preceding species might be broadly considered as forms of the 

 same species, but this is widely different, in having a dark color, thin, 

 ridged pileus, slight tomentum. Usually the tomentum is but slightly 

 developed, or almost none, but is a varying character, as shown in 

 specimens at Kew of the same collection. While it has typically the 

 hymenium of a Cladoderris, in general character it is closer to Ste- 

 reum caperatum than to other species of Cladoderris. At Kew there 

 are abundant specimens (Fig. 528, p. 9), from J. M. Wood, South 

 Africa (which Cooke referred to Cladoderris australica) that are 

 more smooth than the type of infundibuliformis.
