510 J. B. CLELAND AND E. CHEEL. 



for it, being the colour of commercial rhubarb root. Pores 

 minute, with pore tissues concolorous. Spores globose, 

 hyaline, 7-8/*, guttulate when fresh. No setae found by 

 me. (I am informed that setae have been found in a Swedish 

 specimen)' — Lloyd. 



We have the following specimens: — A large sporophore, 

 1\ ins. wide, 5 ins. broad and 3 ins. deep (Milson Island, 

 Hawkesbury River, on fallen Eucalyptus, 1912); two small 

 sporophores, the largest 2 ins. broad, on Leptospermum sp. 

 (Mount Irvine, June 1915, spores not seen and no setae 

 detected — the small size of the branches of this shrub prob- 

 ably accounts for the small size of the fruiting body); a 

 small sporophore growing on the small trunk of Leptosper- 

 mum flavescens (Wiseman's Ferry, August 1915, a few 

 doubtful colourless spores seen, no setae detected); medium 

 sized sporophore on Casuarina sp. (Stockton, October 1915, 

 spores spherical, 7/*, 7*5 x 7/*, some doubtful setae seen); 

 locality not noted (spores hyaline, 7*3 to 5/*, no setae seen); 

 large specimen, locality not noted; on dead Kunzea cori- 

 folia (Sydney, May, 1917); on dead Casuarina (Kendall, 

 May, 1917); Narrabri, November, 1916; on Angopliora 

 lanceolata (Sydney, October, 1916, hyaline spores, 5*5 to 

 8m); near Wauchope (February, 1917); Manly (November, 

 1916, spores 7 to 8/*); on living Eucalyptus rostrata (Moree, 

 January, 1917); on Angopliora lanceolata, (Hawkesbury 

 River, November, 19 L6); at base of living E. rostrata 

 (Adelaide Parklands, April, 1917, spores 5*5 to 7*2/*); on 

 living Robinia pseudacacia (near Adelaide, April, 1917). 



In identifying another specimen for us in which we had 

 found pale brownish, almost hyaline, subspherical spores 

 (8*5 x 7, 7 x 5*2/*) and no setae, Lloyd adds: — ' I did not find 

 spores, but from context, colour, and your spore notes, 

 "almost colourless," I judge it is this species. You have 

 J?, robustus typically in Australia, also a form with setae.
