Australia — Xatiomil Park (at the hase of Eucalyptus viminalis Labill.), Mount 
Lofty (at the base of E. viminalis Labill. or E. rubida Deane et Maid). New 
Zealand. May, .Tune. (Figure 4(i.) 
This is a very large, tough-fleshy, smoky lirown species composed of densely 
crowded irregularly branching stems bearing pilei on theii- extremeties and found 
with us at the bases of Eucalypts. The closely-related P. Berkeleyi Fr., which 
has been found in New South Wales and New Zealand, has echinulate spores. 
:-120. Polyporus anthracophiliis Cooke. (Dr., anthrax, coal or charcoal; philos, 
loved). — Pileus 5 x din. (12.5 x 10 cm.) or more in size, compound, composed of 
numerous more or less fan-slmped pileoli arising from an excentric or lateral or 
sometimes central, short, irregular, broad stem-like base, when the attachment is 
central often with a rosette-like ai'rangement of the ))ileoli. Pileoli more or less 
fan-shaped, 1 'in. (h. 1 cm.) laterally x llin. (.0.7 cm.) long, sometimes much 
broader, fusing with neighbouring pileoli or more or less separateil, shortlv lobed, 
coarsely and irregularly radiately rugulose or rugose-tuberculate, minutely 
velutinate, near .Sayal Bi'own (x.xix.) or <lingy greyish white. Tubes decurrcnt,

2 to 5 mm. long, orifices about 0 to 4 in 1 mm., irregular, sometimes labvrinthi-

Substance of whole plant hard. Spores elliptical, oblique, hyaline, smooth, 5.5 to

This, like F. Colensoi, has also a compound structure with many pileoli but 
the substance is hard and not fleshy-firm. It may assume a rosette shaiie. It 
grows on stumps. 
321. Polyporus eucalyptorum Fr. {Eucalyptorum, of Eucalyptus trees). — 
Large, a moderate-sizeil specimen measuring 8in. (20 cm.) laterally, 9in. (22.5 
■cm.) from before backwards, and (iin. (15 cm.) vertically at its attachment to 
the. trunk and weighing when fresh Mlbs. loz., but considerably larger specimens 
occur. Thus a bracket from Inman Abdley measured I8in. (45 cm.) laterally, 
loin. (25 cm.) antero-p)stcriorly and 7in. (17.5 cm.) in height. Anothei' specimen 
weighed 9.|lbs. Hoof-shaped, sometimes splayed out below or in other cases 
laterally exten<led, rarely somewhat applanate. The ujjper surface of the pileus 
is brownish, in jilaces smoky brown, from the thin cuticle which peels with
