3.14. Polystictus albovestidus Fr. (L., alhus, white; vestidus for vestitus, 
clothed). — Dr. C. G. Lloyd in identifying specimens from Overland Corner, South 
Australia, .lanuary, as Polystictus albo-vestidus Fr. (vide Mycological Notes, 
No. ()9, Vol. 7, July, 1923, p. 1192, fig. 2401), descilbes them as follows: — 
“Pileoli small, imbrioato, the surface with a. thin covering (like whitewash), 
which however does not extend to the margin. Pores brown with a purplish 
cast, large, sinuate. Hymenium covered with subhyaline, projecting hyphae-like 
bodies, cystidia no doubt, but not strongly specialized. S|)ores not found. The 
peculiar white pilous covering is characteristic it ap[)oars to me. The pores 
remind me of Polystictus versatilis. ’ ’ These specimens form an imbricate mass 
on dead wood, 3in. (7.5 cm.) or more laterally, in parts resupinate for an inch 
(2.5 cm.) or more, the pileoli projecting 1 cm. The white investiture of the 
rougli older portion of the pileus suggests weathering from exposure to sunlight; 
the growing edge is rounded, velvety and dark brown (Prout’s Brown, xv.). Pores 
irregular, lacerated, mostly ir])iciform; disso])iments thin, sometimes defective; 
orifices 0.5 to 1 mm., brown ndtli a purplish cast.

TRAMETES Fr. 
(L., trama, the woof.) 
"Pileus woody or corky; dimidiate, or resupinate; sessile. Tubes homogeneous 
with the sul)stance of the pileus and not forming a distinct layer, regular, round 
or oblong. Flesh white or coloured. Bpores white, rarely yellowish; elliptical, 
ovoid, globose, subglobose, cylindrical, or oblong; smootln 'Cystidia present or 
absent, hyaline or coloured. Annual or perennial. Growing on wood, very rarely 
on the ground ; sometimes imbricate. ’ ’ — Rea. 
A feature of generic importance, not included by Rea in the above description, 
is that the deep ends of the tubes are sunk to varying depths in the context. 
This serves to distinguish specimens from those of the genus Polyporus which 
they resemble. Our species form corky firm brackets and are not resupinate.

.135. Trametes cinnaharina (Jacq.) Fr. (Svn., Polystictus cinnahaxinus 
(Jacq.).) (Gr., hinnahari, dragon’s blood). — A common species on dead wood, 
scarlet in general colour, forming thin shelves 4 to Oin. (10 to 15 cm.) or more 
laterally, 11 to 21in. (3.7 to (>.2 cm.) from before backwards, usuallv under Jin. 
(1.2 cm.) thick in the middle and up to fin. (1.8 cm.) at the attachment, 
thinning gradually to the blunt edge which is rounded above. Upper surface 
slightly convex, pilose to slightly rough, becoming smooth, laterally attached 
throughout, near Apricot Orange (xiv.). Ilymenial surface more or less T>b'.ne, 
near Mars Orange (il.) and deeper, pore orifices minute, about 5 in 1 mm(’
