(Fig. 97.) Typical species of Cladodcrris re-semble Lentinus in appearance, with asquarroso-hispid pileus of the colourand texture of leather and a veinedhymenium. The species are usuallystemless, but sometimes there is apervious stem as in 1782. The plantsare not usually small although smallexamples occur. Cladoderris dendriticavaries from 7 in. to £ in. in diam. Theprevailing size is from 4 to 6 in. in species are large, infundibuliformand almost stemless. The species chiefly grow in Aus-tralia, Cuba and the Philippines. 1805. C. minima B. & Br. (from itsvery small size; minimus, theleast) a b. , springing from astem-like or obsolete base, re-supinate.
