42a. Polyporus (Merismus) sulphureus var. Wilsonianus 



Lloyd. 



Lloyd (Letter 53, 1914, Note 179) records P. Wilsonianus, 

 a form of P. sulphureus, from the Rev. James Wilson, 

 Victoria. He states it differs from typical P. sulphureus 

 in the very thin flesh, 1 — 2 mm. thick, and in the piriform 

 not globose spores. 



43. Polyporus (Merismus) retiporus Oooke. 



Cooke (No. 625) gives this species for Victoria and Queens- 

 land. Wakefield (Kew Bull., 1914, p. 157) says that speci- 

 mens in Kew Herbarium from Victoria labelled P. retiporus 

 are P. australiensis (which see, Sect. Apus, Polyporus). The 

 acceptance of this as an Australian species should therefore 

 be received with doubt. Lloyd says it is like P. sulphureus, 

 but with larger pores and firmer context, and thinks it will 

 prove to be only a form of this species.
