252 FLORA OF TASMANIA. [Fungi, by M. J. Berkeley. 
1. Polyporus (Mesopus) oblectans (Berk. in Lond. Journ. Bot. iv. p. 51). 
Haz. On the ground, Gunn, Archer, J. D. H. 
I have no perfect specimens of white, fleshy, or coriaceous Mesopodes. There is however evidence of the occur- 
rence of one or perhaps two species in Tasmania. 
2. Polyporus (Mesopus) rudis (Berk. Ann. Nat. Hist. iii. p.923). (Tas. CLXXXII. Fig. 4.) 
Haz. On dead wood, Lawrence, Gunn, Archer, etc. 
PrATE CLXXXII. Fig. 4, plant of nat. size. 
3. Polyporus (Pleuropus) elegans (Fr. Ep. p. 440), 
Haz. On dead wood, Archer. 
4. Polyporus (Pleuropus) intonsus (Berk.); pileo flabelliformi tenui velutino brunneo, stipite 
excentrico brevi, hymenio albo, poris minutis punctiformibus deeurrentibus. 
Has. On dead wood, Archer. 
Pileus flabelliform, 1 inch long and broad, depressed behind, thin, brown, with a rufous tinge, minutely velvety, 
somewhat virgate. Stem 2 lines high, 13 thick, attached by an orbicular disc, Hymenium white. Pores decur- 
rent, minute, punctiform, ro inch across.—A small species, allied to P. varius. 
5. Polyporus (Pleuropus) lucidus (Fr. Ep. p. 442). 
Haz. On dead wood, Lawrence, Gunn. 
6. Polyporus (Pleuropus) sanguineus (Fr. Ep. p. 444). 
Has. On dead wood, Gunn. 
Apparently a rare species in Tasmania, although P. cinnabarinus is extremely abundant. 
7. Polyporus (Merisma) frondosus (Fr. Ep, p. 446). 
Haz. On dead trees, Gunn. 
8. Polyporus (Merisma) sulphureus (Fr, Ep. p. 450). 
Haz. On dead wood, Gunn. 
9. Polyporus (Merisma) radiato-rugosus (Berk. in Ann. Nat. Hist. iii. 323). 
Haz. On dead wood, Guan. 
10. Polyporus (Anodermei) tephronotus (Berk.) ; pileo molli tomentoso niveo postice brunneo, 
hymenio ex albo subeinerascente, poris minimis subrotundis. (Tas. CLXXXII. Fig. 5.) 
Has. On dead wood, Archer, 
Pileus 2 inches or more across, 12 inch long, sometimes pulvinate, sometimes thin, tomentose, almost spongy, 
pure-white, changing behind to brown. Hymenium white, but gradually assuming a pale-cinereous tint. Pores mi- 
nute, rj inch across, scarcely visible to the naked eye, punctiform.—This, though obviously belonging to the same 
section as P. epileucus, is allied to P. angustus and rhinocephalus. The older part sometimes becomes wrinkled, as 
in the latter species. There is a resupinate form, which at first sight seems distinct.— PraTE CLXXXIL Fig. 5;

11, Polyporus (Anodermei) campylus (Berk.); pileo palmato lobato albo glabrescente, hymenio 
concavo, poris parvis irregularibus, margine obtusiusculo. (TAB. CLXXXII. Fig. 6.) 
Haz. On dead wood, Archer, > 
Pileus slightly imbricated, 13-2 inches long, flabelliform, deeply lobed, and sometimes anastomosing, strongly 
curved when dry, white, slightly grooved, nearly smooth. Hymenium concave, white, 
across; edge rather obtuse. This belongs to the same sect; ; j is at once distinguished by its 
strongly lobed margin, which is deeply incurved when dry. :
