Specimens of this species have been forwarded by R. T. 

 Baker, Rev. W. W. Watts, W. W. Froggatt and Miss 

 Flockton, to O. G. Lloyd, and determined by him. 



Atypical forms: — Hawkesbury River, November, 1914 

 (J.B.O.). Of this specimen Lloyd says "I should class this 

 as cepceforme, although it has no sterile base, and strictly 

 should be called large L. pusillum. This large form devoid 

 of sterile base does not occur in Europe." Our notes of 

 these fresh specimens shew that there was then evident a 

 very slight basal layer and a definite root with branching 

 mycelium. Spores smooth, 4*2 to 5ft, stumps of pedicels. 

 Another collection, described in the same terms by Lloyd, 

 has spores 4*4 to 4'8/s no pedicels. We have the following 

 additional collections : — Orange, October, spores 3*8 to 4p; 

 Adelaide, July, spores smooth, 3'5/*. 



Lloyd says of specimens with oval, finely warted spores, 

 5 X 3*7/^ in size, collected at Milson Island in June 1912, 

 "^has not been separated from cepceforme, although the 

 decidedly rough spores, slightly pyriform, and absence of 

 sterile base should separate it. It has no name I believe. ,,
