Fungi, by M. J. Berkeley.) FLORA OF TASMANIA. 259 
The Tasmanian species are for the most. part European. S. lobatum is a tropical and subtropical form. (Name 
from orepeos, stiff.) 
1. Stereum lobatum (Kze. in Weig. Exs.). 
Has. Tasmania, Gunn, Archer, Lawrence, J. D. H. 
2. Stereum purpureum (Fr. Ep. p. 548).

3. Stereum hirsutum (Fr. Ep. p. 549). 
Has. On dead wood, J. D. H., Gunn, Archer. 
4. Stereum concolor (Berk.); albidum, pileo dimidiato postice decurrente molli tomentoso per 
exsiccationem contracto involuto, hymenio levi concolore. 
Has. On twigs, dead branches, etc., Archer. 
Dirty-white, sometimes tinged with ochre. Pileus dimidiate or effuso-reflexed, decurrent behind, soft, tomen- 
tose, contracted and involute when dry. Hymenium smooth, even, of the same colour as the pileus.—Distinguished 
from every form of S. hirsutum by its less coriaceous substance, in conseguence of which it is contracted when dry.

Has. On dead wood, Archer. 
6. Stereum illudens (Berk. in Hook. Lond. Journ. Bot. iv. p. 59). 
Has. On dead wood, J. D. H., Gunn, Archer. 
7. Stereum rubiginosum (Fr. Ep. p. 550).

8. Stereum Archeri (Berk.); resupinatum, effusum, immarginatum, secernibile, vinoso-fuscum,

Gen. XXV. CORTICIUM, Fr. 
Hymenium amphigenum, vegetum et fertile tumens, carnoso-molle, udum, undulatum papillosumve, 
siccitate collabens, levigatum, sepissime rimoso-incisum. 
Distinguished from Thelephora and Stereum by the softer, more tender hymenium. (Name from cortex, bark ; 
in consequence of the habitat of many of the species.)

Haz. On dead wood, Archer. 
2. Corticium Mougeotii (Fr. Ep. p. 558).
