326. Tramefes floccosa, Bres. Northern Territory: Darwin, April (Dr. 

 L. Jones), numerous elongated very pale-brownish spores, 12 to 14-2x5 //,, 

 rather like those of P. ochroleuciis, identified by Lloyd (No. 315), who says 

 (Letter 67, Note 664) that our specimens are darker as regards surface and 

 context colours than the Ceylon ones, but have the same texture, pores, and 

 spores. 



327. Trametes picta, Berk, and Br. Cooke, Handb. Austr. Fungi, No. 843 

 (Queensland). Queensland: Bribie Island, September, on fallen wood, iden- 

 tified by Lloyd (No. 496). 



328. Trametes Muelleri, Berk. Cooke, Handb. Austr. Fungi, No. 842 

 (Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria). Queensland: Enoggera, September, 

 identified by Lloyd (No. 607). We cannot make out any essential specific 

 differences between our specimens of T. picta and T. Muelleri. 



Daedalea. 



329. Daedalea gibbosa, Pers. (as Trametes). We have specimens from 

 New South Wales identified as above by Lloyd (No. 481), shed spores white, 

 elongated, oblique, 7 to 8-5 x 3 /a. 



THELEPHQRACEAE. 



Thelephora. 



330 (iii., 209). Thelephora terrestris, Ehr. South Australia: Under Pinus 

 insignis, Dougl., equal P. radiata, D. Don, Kuitpo, May, spores brown, knobby, 

 9 5 X 7-8 /A. 



Asterostroma. 



331. Asterostroma persimile, Wakefield. New South Wales. Specimens 

 have been identified by Miss Wakefield through C. G. Lloyd. In her letter to 

 Mr. Lloyd, Miss Wakefield says that the Australian plants differ in micro- 

 scopical details from the type, and that she was at first in doubt whether to 

 refer them to her own species or to hold them as different, but afterwards con- 

 cluded that they were a variation of the species. New South Wales: Neutral 

 Bay, Sydney, September and October, star-shaped bodies pale brown, rays 5, 

 each 43 to '52 x 35 /a. spores warty tuberculose, 5-2 to 7 /a (associated with a 

 vellow Corticium and Stereimi membranaceum) ; Katoomba, on fallen logs, 

 December, rays up to 42x34 ix, forming a felt (Lloyd, No. 253); Tuggerah, 

 October, friable, spores irregular, whitish, 7 /a (Lloyd, No. 254). 



Phlebia. 



332. Phlebia reflexa, Berk. Lloyd considers that the following are probably 

 synonyms: — P. (Merulius) strigoso-sonatum (Schweinitz) ; P. hispidula, Berk.; 

 Auricularia Butleri, Massee; A. sordiscens, Ces. ; and Stereum kigubre, Cooke 

 (Letter 46, p. 6). Following Lloyd's suggestion, we place the genus in the 

 Thelephoraceae. New South Wales: Berry, October, when moist soft and 

 subgelatinous, hymenium much wrinkled into irregular folds pruinose with the 

 spores, colour varying from different tints of brown to yellow-brown and purple- 

 brown, not unlike the colours of a bruise, the growing edge when moist whitish 

 from mycelial threads, hymenium drying blackish, reflexed surface dark brown, 

 somewhat zoned, edge whitish, basidia tetrasporous, spores 62 to 7 yiZS /a ; 

 Milson Island, Hawkesbury River, February, identified by Lloyd (No. 149), 

 and June; Hill Top, October, identified by Lloyd (No. 72), shed spores white, 

 sausage-shaped with an oblique apiculus, 7 to 85 x 35 /a; Sydney, April and 

 December ; Lisarow, June and August ; Kew, October. South Australia : Mount 

 Lofty, April ; National Park, June and August.
