482 J. B. CLELAND AND E. CHEEL. 



Section 17. Pileus yellowish-brown, gilvous. Hyphae 

 deep-yellow under the microscope. 



No Australian species recorded. 



Section 18. Grammocephalus group. Pileus marked with 

 raised lines. 



16. Polyporus (Petaloides) grammocephalus Berk. 

 Lloyd states that P. muelleri Kalchbrenner, described 

 from Australia, is this species or a form of it. Cooke (No. 

 614) also places this fungus as a variety under P. grammo- 

 cephalus, recording it from New South Wales. Oooke gives 

 the typical form for Queensland and New Guinea and var. 

 Emeriti for the same places. Lloyd in referring to P. 

 Emeriti from India, says it is like the type of grammo- 

 cephalus but the pores are larger. Lloyd has identified for 

 us a specimen of P. grammocephalus from Mummulgum 

 Brush near Casino, Dec, 1916. He adds that the size of 

 the pores is variable. 



17. Polyporus (Petaloides) platotis Berk. 

 Cooke (No. 615) says this is apparently only an abnormal 

 distorted condition of P. grammocephalus. Lloyd says that 

 from the colour, surface and pores it seems to be a thick 

 grammocephalus, "but is much too thick, and apparently 

 does not belong to the section," 



18. Polyporus (Petaloides) fusco-lineatus Berk. 

 This is given by Cooke (No. 617) for Queensland. Lloyd 

 says it is an obese form of grammocephalus with larger 

 pores. 



19. Polyporus (Petaloides) dorcadideus Berk. 

 Oooke, (No. 616). Recorded for Queensland. 



Section 19. Polyporus. Species dark coloured, almost 

 black at least when dry. 



a. Setsefera. 

 20. Polyporus (Petaloides) megalosporus Mont.
