Tenuis, effusa, membranacea, mycelio niveo, arachnoideo enata, 
tota albida, margine indeterminato, granulis minutis, hinc illic 
aggregatis.

Zealand, 160.

AUSTRALIAN FUNGI. 
By M. C. Cooke. 
0 Continued from Vol. XIX., p. 92.) 
Stxobilomyces ligulatus, Cooke. 
Pileus convex, hemispherical (10 c.m. diam.), brown, clad with 
darker ligulate scales, composed of parallel threads (7-8 m.m. long), 
often recurved at the extremity. Stem (12 c.m. long, 2 c.m. 
thick) striate, with a few scattered fibrils, paler, rather attenuated 
upwards. Tubes long, shortened behind, angular, yellowish, or 
with a reddish tint. Spores brown, elliptical, 20 x 10 p. 
On the ground. Victoria. ( Martin , 832.) 
Stxobilomyces fasciculatus, Cooke. 
Pileus hemispherical, convex, reddish-brown (8-10 c.m. diam.), 
squamulose, the fascicles of strap-like scales parting into large 
pentagonal areolas. Stem nearly equal (8-10 c.m. long, 1^ c.m. 
thick), even, paler. Tubes, elongated, free behind, mouths angular, 
yellowish. Spores elliptical, pale brown, 10-12 x 5 p, flesh turn- 
ing bluish when cut. 
On the ground. Victoria. {Martin, 777.) 
Hypocxella axillaris, Cooke. 
Stroma obturbinate or obclavate, seated in the upper axils (5 
m.m. long, 2-3 broad), black, opaque, minutely granular with the 
ostiola ; substance white. Perithecia very minute, immersed in 
the periphery. Asci cylindrical, 120 p long. Sporidia filiform, 
at length multiseptate (about 100 p long), hyaline. 
On grasses. Brisbane. ( F . M. Bailey y 897, 898.) 
Somewhat resembling H. bambusce, but larger and less globose. 
Size and form not unlike H. strangulans, Mont. Upon more 
mature consideration both these appear to have greater relation- 
ship with Hypocrella than with Epichlo'e. 
Phyllachoxa maculata, Cooke. 
Stroma gregarious on bullate tawny spots of the living leaves 
(1|-1 c.m. broad), black, semi-immersed. Asci clavate. Sporidia 
elongated, elliptical, a little narrowed to each end, hyaline, 22-25 
X 8 p. 
On leaves of Eucalyptus. Victoria, (il/rs. Martin , No. 9.)
