NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN FUNGI. 491 



Cooke (No. 597) gives this polypore for Queensland. Lloyd 

 says P. tabulceformis (Cooke, No. 598, Queensland) is the 

 same species. We have the following collections: — Grafton 

 (April, 1912); Lisarow (May, 1915); Terrigal (June, 1914); 

 Sydney; at base of living Angophora lanceolata, Sydney 

 (March); National Park (July); near Wauchope (February). 

 Spores spherical to oval, 3*5/*, 5*2 x 3*5/*. Milson Island, 

 Hawkesbury River, specimens (April, 1915) have spores 

 irregularly spherical, 3*4 to 4*2/*, whilst those of the Lisarow 

 ones are 7 x 5*2/*. The pores do not seem large and the 

 orifices are pallid greyish. 



One of our specimens was sent to Lloyd who says: — 'My 

 first impression was that it was not P. Schweinitzii, but 

 on comparing it, I do not note any real difference. The 

 pores are smaller. It does not colour potash solution yellow 

 as does P. Schweinitzii, and the appearance of the pore 

 tissue is not the same under the microscope. Still I would 

 not know how to point out any real difference. It is the 

 first specimen I have from Australia. With us it is usually 

 in pine-woods.'
