MYCOLOGICAL NOTES C. G. LLOYD Page 1056 
Usually perithecia of a, Xylaria are close together and the protruding 
mouths give a ,l moriform" appearance* In this species the perithecia 
being more distant from each other gives the surface an entirely 
different appearance from usual. The spores are about 6 X 14. 
Our figures represent, Dig. 1968 specimen from Mr. Reinking* Pig. 
1967) type (one) of Xylaria guyanensis; Pig. 1969 section showing the 
outer, carbonous layer of the stroma.: Pig. 1970 the surface enlarged, 
showing the scattered protuberances on which is based the name. 
These same protuberances are shown on Cooke's figure of Xylaria 
guyanensis which is a fairly good representation of the co-type at 
Kew. But the co-type is not the same as the type, in my opinion, 
and Cooke habitually showed the same effect on most of his drawings 
of Xylarias whether it existed or not, hence the fact has not much 
significance in this instance. 
XYLARIA TIMORENSIS PROM OTTO A. REINKING, PHILIPPINES 
(Pig. 1971 and 1972 enlarged).- Very small, not exceeding a cm. 
tall and 3 mm, thick, obtuse, covered with a brown crust. Sub- 
sessdle from a black, discoid base. Perithecia in a.carbonous layer 
the ostioles protruding through the brown, cuticular crust. Stroma 
solid, isabelline. Spores 5 X 10, elliptical, rather pale colored, 
usually one (or rarely two) guttulate near the ends. We gave a pre¬ 
vious figure and notice of this plant, page 896, Twenty years ago 
we received this uniqiue little Xylaria, growing on bamboo, from Wm. 
Gollan, British India. We sent it to one in Europe who was working 
on Xylarias and it was, referred to Xylaria aspera from Malay. Some 
years later when we saw. the type of Xylaria aspera we saw/ it had no 
possible suggestion. There is no section of the 31 provisional 
sections into which we have sorted our Xylarias where we can assign 
this specimen. Section 29 (Xyl, Notes, page 2) has a similar crust 
but they are large plants and have pithy stroma that become hollow. 
Section 1 is "brown but not truly carbonous". We-have therefore 
assigned a new number or rather replaced an old number (19) for this, 
and we know no other that goes with it. We present a photograph 
(Pig. 1972) of this little species enlarged sixfold, also a photograph 
(Fig. 1971) of the host, showing the discs on the bamboo where the 
plants have fallen off for there was. only one club remaining on the 
piece of bamboo that we received. Since this article was- written we 
have several fine collections from Mir. Reinking, Philippines. 
STEREUM AURI SCALP I T JM PROM OTTO A. REINKING PHILIPPINES 
(Fig, 1973 enlarged X6 ).- Very small about a cm. tall, shape of an 
auriscalp. Surface glabrous, dark brown. Stipe slender, bearing 
the unilateral little pileus. Some of the specimens have lacerations 
of the pileus and stem as shown in our figure, others are regular and 
not lacerate. Cystidia few, hyaline, smooth with thin walls, pro¬ 
jecting about 20 mic. Spores globose, 6 mic. hyaline, smooth. This 
is the tiniest little Stereum we ever saw, growing in the'ground: 
It was collected by J. Reyes (No.9656 ) and Mr. Reyes must have good 
eyes to have noticed it. There are other small species of Stereum 
of record (Cfr. Stipitate Stereums, Sect.9) but they are all white 
and grow, on wood. We would enter this in Sect, 4, although it has 
not much suggestion of any other species in the section. The 
"cystidia" remove the plant to the genus Lloydella for those who 
recognize the genus.
