 have also specimens from Mango Island, Suva, Fiji (Mrs.

 Lloyd has now come to the conclusion (Mycol. Notes, 50, 

 p. ' 713) that F . setulosus is a setae-bearing form of F . 

 robustus. F . Robinsoniae and F. squarrosus he considers also 

 to be F. robustus. In Australian specimens we note slight 

 differences in the depth of colour of the context in different 

 collections and even in the same individual plant. In some 

 specimens we have not found setae, in others we have met 

 with a few, whilst occasionally they are abundant. It may be 

 convenient to retain the name F. setulosus for the latter.
