THE LARGER FUXGI 
29(i. romes robustus Karst, var Melalmcae Clel. (Melaleucae, of the genus 
Melaleuca ). — Pilous ungulate, extended ungulate or irregular, laterally attached 
throughout most of its breadth to living trees, 4iin. or more vertically, 3in. 
broad, l|in. thick (11.2 x 7.5 x 4.4 cm.), sulcately zoned, laterally rounded, 
young zones minutely r-elutinate liecoming smooth, replaced in older zones 
by a hard crust becoming rimosely cracked, hoary becoming <lark Irrown. Context 
woody, radiating, most of the substance composed of the old pore layers, many 
of the old tul)es stuffed with pallid mycelium. Buckthorn Brown to Dresden 
Brown (xv.), Ochraceous Tawny (xv'.) to near Cinnamon Brown (xv.). 
Hvmenial surface plane, horizontal; tubes indistinctlv differentiated from older 
layers, about § to iin. (1.5 to 2 cm.) long; orifices about 3 in 1 mm., rounded 
to a little irregular; dissepiments rounded, ecpial to the diameter of the orifices 
to half this. An occasional pointed acuminate yellow-brown seta, 20 x 5 g. Spores 
numerous, spherical, a little irregular, thick-walled, hyaline but sometimes brown,

8 to 9.5 /i. South Australia — On tiunks of living MeUileiiea hahnaturorum F.v.M., 
two to six feet from the ground, on the brackish-water banks of Inman River, 
Encounter Bay. Perennial. This species seems indistinguishable from F. rohustus 
save in the size of the orifices and an occasional coloured siiore. 
297. Femes setulosus Fetch, (L., setulosus, possessing setae). — This resembles 
F. rohiistu.'i but has numerous brown setae with swollen bases and abru))tly 
contracted slender points, 19 x (5.5 ft. C. G. Lloyd states that the context colour 
is tawny (i.e., Ochraceous Tawny, xv.) whereas in F. robvstus it is Yellow Ochre 
(XV.). In the Australian form of F. rohustus, the context varies from Sudan 
Brown and Antique Brown (iii.) to Buektliorn Brown (xv.), with the penetrating 
mycelium Yellow Ochre (xv.). The real point of difference seems to lie in the 
abundance of setae in F. setulosus and their raritv or absence in F. rohustus. 
South Australian specimens of F. setulosus are ungulaform, about 5in. laterally 
x 2 to 3in. deep x 3in. higli (12.5 x 5 to 7.5 x 7.5 cm.) with a dark brown hard
