488 J. B. CLELAND AND E. CHEEL. 



We have fouad this large and handsome species, of which 

 Lloyd has identified specimens, growing near the base of 

 trunks in the Lisarow district in May 1915 and June 1916. 

 The caps are buffy to bright yellowish tan, velvety to 

 strigose, obscurely but definitely zoned, the growing edges 

 velvety and rolled over. The pores are rather irregular 

 and creamy white. The caps arise from an irregular base 

 as somewhat stipitate, superimposed brackets. The flesh 

 is white, somewhat brownish under the crust; it is rather 

 juicy and the juice milky. Spores white, warty, 7/*. 



Section 28. Spores smooth, hyaline. Plants fleshy. 

 38. Polyporus (Merismus) frondosus PI. Dan. 

 Cooke (No. 618) records the species for Tasmania. 



39. Polyporus (Merismus) anthracophilus Oooke. 

 Lloyd says that this species is only known from one or 

 two collections at Kew from Australia. Oooke, No. 622, 

 lists it for Victoria, Queensland and South West Australia. 



40. Polyporus (Merismus) multiplex Berk. 



Lloyd says this fungus is known from a single specimen 

 at Kew from Mueller, Australia, a description of which 

 he believes was never formally published. 



Section 29. Merismus — Polystictus. Thin plants having 

 the habits of the section Merismus. 



41. Polystictus (Merismus) Ridleyi Massee. 



Lloyd mentions that this is known from one collection at 

 Kew from Tasmania.
