Section 11. Context brown or gilvous. Spores white 

 (probably). 



8. Polyporus (Lignosus) scopulosus Berk. 

 Cooke (No. 714) gives this species for Queensland. 



Fifth Division— PETALOIDES. 

 Section 12. Carnosus. Fleshy, soft, thick species. 

 9. Polyporus (Petaloides) fusco-maculatus Bresadola. 

 Under P. glutinifer, Lloyd says that a single, sliced 

 specimen exists at Kew which is probably the same as P» 

 fusco-maculatus. It was described by Cooke and was said 

 to have come from Mauritius, but Lloyd thinks it probably 

 came from Australia. 



Section 13. Polyporus. Fleshy, thin species, colour white 

 or pale. Pores small. 



10. Polyporus (Petaloides) annulatus Junghuhn. 



We have a small pure white somewhat fan-shaped species, 

 f in. in diameter, with a very short stem expanded into a 

 disc. It resembles Lloyd's figure of P. annulatus. In 

 drying, it became a pale fawn with a darker edge. The 

 pores are small and dissepiments thin. The spores are 

 elongated, 7 to 8'5 x 3/x. Bulli Pass, April, 1914. 



11. Polyporus (Petaloides) rhipidium Berk. 



This is a small white species, about J in. in diameter, 

 often found in numbers on the bark of living trees. Under 

 Favolus rhipidium, this species is given by Cooke for Vic- 

 toria, Queensland and New South Wales. Lloyd considers 

 that P. diminutus, Massee, recorded for Australia, of which 

 the type is not preserved, is from the figure and description 

 founded on this species. P. nanus Massee, from Australia, 

 is also P. rhipidium. 



This species is common near Sydney on the trunks of 

 Eucalypts (we have frequently taken it from that of E.„
