"species," described by Berkeley from the Southern United 

 States, is not a true species, but an aberrant form of L. 

 betulina. He says, "The context is white, the gills typically 

 those of the common Lenzites betidina, but the upper surface 

 is different. It is white, not pubescent, nor zoned, but 

 glabrous and rugulose." We have also collected a specimen 

 at Lome, near Kendall, September, 1918. 



150. Lenzites striata, Swartz. Fr. : Epicr., i., p. 406; 

 Sacc. : Syll., 2653; Cooke: Handb. Austr. Fungi, No. 531 

 (Q'land, Vict.). — On fallen Calli'fris log, Narrabri, Novem- 

 ber, 1916 (identified by Lloyd, No. 266). Lloyd says of these 

 specimens that they are not exactly the common plant of 

 the American tropics, but close to it. "The colour, gills, and 

 general shape are the same, but the surface is harder and 

 more zonate."

 Illustrs., pi. 1146a; Sacc: Syll., 2636; Cooke: Handb. 

 Austr. Fungi, No. 528 (Vict.). — Specimens identified by Lloyd 

 (No. 219) from Manildra, October, 1916, on old Callitris 

 stump. 



152. Lenzites Beckleri, Berk.: Linn. Journ., xiii., 161; 

 Sacc: Syll., 2664; Cooke: Handb. Austr. Fungi, No. 536 

 (N.S. Wales, Q'land).— Wingham, Nov., 1916, identified by 

 Lloyd (No. 331) as doubtfully this species. He adds that this 

 specimen has the surface and context of Lj. Beckleri with the 

 pores of L. repanda. "The gills, of L. Beckleri are more 

 lamellate, like those of Z. betulina, but 1 put more stress on 

 the context nature and surface of this group- of plants than 

 on the hymenial configuration. In nature of context and 

 surface it approaches Tra metes lactinea." 



153. Lenzites repanda, Mont. Fr. : Epicr., 404; Sacc: 

 Syll., 2688; Cooke: Handb. Austr. Fungi, No. 542 

 (Q'land, N.S. Wales). — Eumundi, Q'land, January, 1911 (J. 

 Stair ; identified by Lloyd, No. 329) ; Murwillumbah, April, 

 1916 (spores 7x2*5 to 3 \l ; Lloyd, No. 330); Malanganee, 

 August, 1917; Kendall, May, 1917; Comboyne, September, 

 1918. We have also specimens from Mango Island, Suva, 

 Fiji, 1918 and 1919 (Mrs. Lucas). 



154. Lenzites Muelleri, Berk. Daedalea Muelleri, Berk. : 

 Grev., xix., 93; Cooke: Inc. at., No. 868, Vict, (aberrant 

 L. repanda, Lloyd in letter). — Comboyne, September, 1918; 

 identified by Lloyd (No. 512). Lloyd in a note says that L. 

 repanda, unlike L. flavida, is remarkably uniform in hymenial 

 form, but that our specimen is so different from the usual 

 appearance that Berkeley might be excused for naming it a 

 new species as Daedalea Muelleri. He adds that it must not
