We append a list of Foreign species of Stereum received in the past, 

 and which we have been enabled to name at Kew. 



Kew, April, 1913. C. G. LLOYD. 



STIPITATE SPECIES. 



STEREUM AURANTIACUM. This was one of the first foreign spe- 

 cies named by Persoon, and the only yellow, stipitate species I have seen. 

 Specimens from: 



Brazil Anna Brockes. 



Samoa C. G. Lloyd. 



STEREUM ELEGANS. A frequent species in the tropics, growing 

 caespitose in earth with irregular, infundibuliform, confluent pilei. Speci- 

 mens from: 



Australia F. M. Reader, J. T. Paul, Edmund Jarvis, W. R. Guil- 



foyle, A. G. Hamilton, Miss E. J. Turner. 

 India Donor unknown. 

 Ceylon T. Fetch. 

 Jamaica Wm. Cradwick. 



STEREUM FLORIFORMIS. Similar to elegans, but thicker, more 

 spathulate. Specimens from: 



Africa Dr. G. Zenker. 

 India G. A. Gammie. 



STEREUM PUSILLUM. A little, infundibuliform species, growing in 

 ground. Only type in British Museum. Specimen from: 

 Philippines James G. Brown. 



STEREUM SURINAMENSE. A bay-brown, infundibuliform species 

 growing on wood. Very common in the tropics and usually misreferred to 

 Stereum elegans, from which it differs in habits. A single specimen was 

 named fulvo-nitens by Berkeley, from the West Indies, but usually Berkeley 

 referred it as others do to Stereum elegans. Specimen from my own 

 collection, Samoa. 



STEREUM INVOLUTUM (Lloydella). This species seems quite vari- 

 able, but can be recognized by a peculiar, smooth, waxy, reddish-bay 

 hymenium. A section shows metuloids. It is not truly stipitate, but at- 

 tached by a reduced base. I have specimens from: 



New Caledonia Museum at Paris. 



Samoa C. G. Lloyd. 



Java C. B. Ussher. 



STEREUM MIQUELIANUM. A little infundibuliform species grown 

 on wood. No type found by me, but I believe the same as found at Kew 

 from Brazil under the (mss.) name Stereum Trailii. Specimens from: 

 Congo, Africa Rev. J. Gillet. 



STEREUM CAPERATUM. A frequent plant in the tropics and occurs 

 in Southern United States. It is intermediate between the genera Stereum 

 and Cladoderris, and by some is classed in the latter genus. It could also 

 be classed as "Lloydella."
