I have no perfect specimens of white, fleshy, or coriaceous Mesopodes. There is however evidence of the occurrence
of one or perhaps two species in Tasmauia.

Hab. On dead wood. Archer.
Pileus flabelliform, 1 inch long and broad, depressed behind, tliin, brown, with a rufous tinge, minutely velvety,
somewhat virgate. Stem 2 liues high, H thick, attached by an orbicular disc. Rynenium white. Pores decurrent,
minute, punctiform, inch across.—A small species, allied to P. varius.

10. F o lypo rus (Anodermei) tephronotus (Berk.); pileo moUi tomentoso niveo postice brunneo,
hymenio ex albo subcinerasceute, poris minimis subrotundis. (Tab. CLXXXII. Fig. 5.)
Hab. On dead wood, Archer.
Pileus 2 inches or more across, 14 inch long, sometimes pulvinate, sometimes thin, tomentose, almost spongy,
pure-white, changing behind to brown. Hymenium white, but gi’adually assuming a pale-cinereoiis tint. Pores minute,
y4 o inch across, scarcely visible to the naked eye, pimctiform.—This, though obviously belonging to the same
section as P. epileucus, is allied to P. angustus and rhinocephalus. The older part sometimes becomes wrinkled, as
in the latter species. There is a resupinate form, which at flrst sight seems distinct.—P la t e CLXXXII. Fig. 5 ;

11. F o lypo rus (Anodermei) campylus (Berk.); pileo palmato lobato albo glabrescente, hymenio
concavo, poris parvis irregularibus, margine obtusiusculo. (Tab. CLXXXII. Fig. 6 .)
Hab. On dead wood, Areher.
Pileus slightly imbricated, 14-3 inches loug, flabelliform, deeply lobed, and sometimes anastomosing, strongly
curved when diy, white, slightly grooved, nearly smooth. Hymenium concave, white. Pores imgular, inch
across; edge rather obtuse.—Tliis belongs to the same section as P. borealis, and is at once distinguished by its
strongly lobed margin, which is deeply incurved when dry.—P la t e CLXXXII. Fig. 6 ; plant of nat. size.
12. Fo lypo rus (Anodermei) angustus (Berk.); pileo angusto antice renascente pallido subto-
mentoso postice exoleto scabriusculo fusco decurrenti-adnato, hymenio albo, poris minimis angulato-punc-
tiformibus. (Rvb. CLXXXII. Pig. 7.)
Hab. On dead wood, Archer.
Pileus 4-4 inch long, 24 inches wide, decurrenti-affixed, beliind exolete, brown, slightly scabrous, in front pale,
slightly tomentose. Hymenium white. Pores veiy minute, inch across, not visible to the naked eye, angulari-
punctiform, Substance wliite, moderately firm.—This species seems strictly biennial. The more recent parts gradually
acquire a resinous appearance, and at length become brown and almost laccate.—P la t e CLXXXII. Fig. 7,

Hab. On dead wood, Archer.
Pileus 1 inch broad, iuch wide, dimidiate, cónchate, thin, rigid wlien dry, at fu-st white tomentose, nearly
even, at length scabro-venous or aculeate, becoming resinous, and at length brown. Hymenium concave, at first pale
like the pileus, then cinereous. Pores minute, angular, inch across.—This species appears to be allied to
P. adustus, but is more rigid when dry, and has a veiy different aspect. It is also closely allied to P. angustus.—
