Lloyd has identified specimens for us as being pale forms 

 approaching S. vettereum, Berk. The following belong to 

 this group: — Mount Lofty, on Eucalyptus trunks, and

215. Stereum zonarium , Lloyd: Mycol. Notes, No. 47, 

 1917, p. 664, fig. 95. — Lloyd has kindly identified New South 

 Wales specimens (locality not noted) for us. His description 

 of these in the above Notes is as follows: — "Pileus sessile to 

 a reduced base, thin, rigid. Surface smooth, reddish-brown 

 (Brussels brown, Ridgway), with narrow, strong, darker zones. 

 Context tissue brown. Hymenial layer white, distinct from 

 the context layer, and often but partially developed over the 

 surface. Basidia clavate, forming a palisade layer. Cystidia 

 none. Spores 3x5 /x, hyaline, smooth." He adds: — 

 "Stereum with smooth pilei are very rare. In fact, we know 

 but one other well authenticated, viz., Stereum versicolor, in 

 its true sense. "

 this species, but still he believes our specimens belong to it.
