24. Polystictus (Petaloides) obovatus Junghuhn. 

 Cooke gives Polystictus Adami (No. 735) = Polyporus 

 dilatatus (sic) Berk. Lloyd points out that P. Adami and 

 P. dilatus are really P. obovatus, as is P. rasipes (Cooke, 

 No. 747). 



25. Polystictus (Petaloides) stereinus Berk. 

 Cooke (No. 741) gives this species, which he says equals 

 P. cognatus Kalchb., for Queensland and New South Wales. 

 We have specimens, identified by Lloyd, from Mount Irvine 

 (June) and Mount Wilson (June — spores 4*8 to 5*6 x 2'5/a); 

 also from Leura, June. 



Section 23. Polystictus. Microporus. Lateral stem. 



26. Polystictus (Petaloides) affinis Nees. 

 Cooke (No. 740) records the species for Queensland and 



New South Wales. 



27. Polystictus (Petaloides) luteus Nees. 

 Cooke (No. 737) gives this species for the same two 



States. Lloyd says it runs into P. affinis. Lloyd thinks 

 that P. porphyrias (Cooke, No. 734) is probably the same 

 as P. luteus. Cooke gives this form for Queensland. P. 

 cameo-niger (Cooke, No. 738) Lloyd says has the same 

 characters as P. luteus, except its black colour. 



28. Polystictus (Petaloides) flabelliformis Klotzsch. 

 Cooke (No. 733) records this for Victoria, New South 

 Wales and Queensland. Lloyd has identified specimens for 

 us from Mummulgum Brush near Casino (December, 1916). 

 These were found growing in company with typical P. 

 xanthopus, into which, as Lloyd has remarked to us, it 

 seems to run. We also have it from near Wauchope 

 (February, 1916). 



Section 24. Polyporus (corresponding to Polystictus but 

 thicker) with colour and pores of the section Microporus.
