A specimen from Mount Lofty, April, 1921, was identified bv Prof. E. A. Burt.

SUBOENUS: BOURDOTIA Bres. 
(After L’Abbe H. Bourdot, the eminent French mycologist.) 
“Receptacle waxy or pulverulent, entirely resupinate, with the habit of a 
Corticium, possessing tubular, tliin-walled gloeocystidia, filled with a coloured 
juice, and rising perpendicularly in the hyphae. ” — Rea. 
554. Sebacina (Bourdotia) megaspora Martin (Gr., megas, large; spora, seed). 
— ‘ ‘ Flffused in small associated patches, each up to jin. (1 cm.) in extent, soft 
waxy, thin, somewhat cerebriforin, dark greyisli brown to dingy watery drab and 
semitranslucent when fresli, (iOO to 1,000 n thick in section, drying to a dull 
blackisli brown film. Ilyphae slender, 1.5 to 2 g in diameter, intricately branched 
ami anastomosing, with fi-equent clamp connections, immersed in a uniform 
gelatinous matiix. Gloeocystidia abundant, at first hyaline, then yellow and 
filled with granular material, subcylindrical or clavate, tortuous, relativelv small, 
mostly 30 to (iO x 0.5 to 7 fn, and restricted to the dense brown surfacte layer 
above the probasidia. Probasidia at tlie first broadly ovate, then spherical, 
borne on slender tortuous branches and soon detached, 18 to 28 g in diameter, 
finally longitudinallv septate into 2 to 4 cells, each of which produces an 
epibasidium 50 to 90 (to 150) x 4.5 to 7 g. Spores hyaline, cylindrical, depressed 
on one side, or suballantoid, with a conspicuous, blunt apiculus, 24 to 30 (to 38) 
X 11 to 14 (to l(i) |U, germinating by repetition.” — Martin. Sohth Australia —

EICHLEEIELLA Bres. 
(After Bogumil Eichler.) 
“Receptacle coriaceous, waxy or membranaceous, subgelatinous, cup-shaped or 
plano-concave, rarely pendulous; margin free. Hymenium smooth, rugulose, or 
lla(hil'um-\ike. Basidia globose-ovoid, longitudinally cruoiately divided, with 2-4 
sterigmata. Spores white, cylindrical or oblong, smooth, producing spori<liola on 
germination. Growing on wood.” — Rea. 
No South Australian species recorded. 
TULASNELLALES. 
“Basidia subglobose, simple, with 2 to 4 very thick stout sterigmata. Spores 
white, producing sporidiola on germination. Hymenium fully exposed from the 
first. ’ ’ — Rea.

TULASNELLA Schroct. 
(After Tj. R. and C. Tulasne, the eminent French mycologists.) 
“Receptacle fleshy membranaceous or gelatinous, then cartilaginous, resupinate, 
effused. Hymenium smooth or plicate. Basidia globose, with 2 to 4 very thick, 
stout sterigmata, at first obtuse, then becoming elongated and filiform, springing 
from the apices or the sides of the basidia. Spores white ; globose, ovoid, ellipi

germination. Growing on wood and humus. ’ ’ — Rea.
