This is quite a common lioof-shaped species with ochraceous tawnv substance 
and drab to dark brown upper surface possessing a hard crust which often cracks 
into segments. The brown spores and absence of setae separate it from F. 
rohustus and F. setulosus which it otherwise I'esembles. 
300. Femes badius Berk. (L., badiiis, bay-coloured, approaching chestnut). — 
C. (t. Lloyd describes this species as having the same general appearance, shape 
and context colour as F. 7-imos'iis but the surface is smoother, the pores a little 
larger, and the sj)ores larger (0 to 7 y). A South Australian specimen, probably 
from the Mount Lofty Ranges, identified by Lloyd, formed a hoof-shaped bracket 
resembling a small specimen of F. rimosus but with the upper surface, though 
rimose and dark brown in the older portion, rather smoother, the rounded growing- 
edge paler brown and velvety. The orifices were about 2 in 1 mm., the context 
nearer to Sudan Brown (in., but less yellow) than to Raw Sienna (in.), and the 
subsplierical dark yellow-brown sjiores (i.5 x 5 ft. Specimens similarly identified 
by Lloyd from Gympie, Queensland, are also small and the upper surfaces 
smoother but the orifices are 3 is,. 1 mm. and the spores 5 x 3.4 y. These speci- 
mens thus have spores wliose size does not exceed the measurements we have 
found in F. rimosus. F. badius may thus be a form of F. runo.'ius. 
301. Femes Niaouli Batouillard. — C. G. Lloyd considers that this species, if 
distinct from F. rimosus, differs chiefly in the upper surface being dark brown or 
black, matted and tomentose, the siiores being also largei- and the context <lark 
brown (Argus). The species has not been recognised in South Australia. Two 
collections, one from Darwin, identified by Lloyd, show the upper surface as 
<lescribed. The specimens are rather small and more or less hoof-shaped and the 
sj)ores in one 7 x 5 y. 
302. Femes Tepperii Lloyd. (After J. G. O. Tejiper, for many years 
Entomologist to the South Australian Museum, an assiduous collector of plants 
as well as insects). — “ Pileus ungulate, with black, rimose surface. Context dark 
brown (Russet). Pores large, long, seemingly not stratified, setae none. Sub- 
hymenial cells forming a thick layei'. Spores are many, subhvaline, (i to 7 y, 
globose; few are dee))ly coloured, same size and shape.” — Lloyd. This species 
was presumably collected by Tepper and if so almost certainly in South Australia. 
A specimen from Baan Baa, New South Wales, collected in January, 1917, 
growing on Acacia Cheelii, was identified by IJoyd as this species. It formed 
a small bracket with a dark rimose uj>per surface; very long tubes (up to lin., 
2.5 cm.); orifices 2, sometimes 3, in 1 mm.; the context and tubes Russet (xv.) 
passing to Verona Brown (xxix.) ; spores numerous, irregularly oval to irregularly 
polygonal, pale yellowish-brown, 7.8 to 8.5 x ii y. 
303. Fomes Lloydii (.'lei. (After 0. G. Lloyd, the well-known American 
mycologist, who recognised the species as new). — Pileus more or less ungulate, 
4in. X 4in. x 2in. thick (10 x 10 x 5 cm.). Upper surface irregularly convex, 
more or less nodulose with a tendency to form small subsidiary pore-bearing 
ledges, velvety. Buckthorn Brown (xv.) and paler or darker. Pore surface more 
or less horizontal, tubes up to lin. (1.2 cm.), orifices about 4 in 1 mm.. Buck- 
thorn Brown to Dresilen Brown (xv.), young portions and growing edge near 
L ellow Ochre (xv.) giving the appearance of a border to portions tliat are 
sjireading ovei- the substratum. Context hard but not heavy, brighter yellow 
than Yellow Ochre (xv.). Spores very abundant, subsplierical, brown, 4 to 4.8 y.

304. Fomes Yucatensis Alurrill. (After tlie State of Yucatan, in Mexico).— 
C. G. Lloyd describes this species as being in every particular similar to F. 
I'imo.sus except in possessing setae. He places both species under subsections 
with a light brown context, ami under F. rimo.sus descri.bes this coloui- as Raw 
Sienna. The context in Australian specimens of F. rimosus we find is usually a
