Subimbricated. Pileus 1 inch or more long and broad, thin, flabelliform, suborbicular or reniform, bay-brown, clothed behind with short velvety olive down. Stem obsolete.

Lentinus novae-zelandiae Berk. 1855

Sessile, attached by a narrowed base, fan-shaped, reniform or suborbicular, thin and flexible, bay-brown, clothed behind with short velvety olive down, about 2.5 cm. long and broad; gills decurrent behind, narrow, edge thin and torn, coloured like the pileus.
New Zealand.
On dead wood.
Closely resembling Lentinus castoreus, but smaller, and with narrower gills. There is no specimen in Berkeley's herbarium.

Lentinus novae-zelandiae Berk. 1855

Shown to be a synonym of Lentinellus ursinus by Pegler 1983.

Berkeley's (1855) description is "Subimbricated. Pileus 1 inch or more long and broad, thin, flabelliform, suborbicular or reniform, bay brown, clothed behind with short velvety olive down. Stem obsolete. Gills same colour as the pileus, narrow, decurrent behind; edge thin, lacerated. Closely resembling L. castoreus, of which I have an authentic specimen, but differing in size and narrow gills."
The type material (New Zealand: Colenso, Herb. Phillips, ex Herb. Berkeley, K) consists of 4 basidiomata up to 26 x 17 mm diam. Their characters all confirm Pegler's identification of the species as yet another synonym of L. ursinus.

The type specimen is lost and the description is doubtfully adequate.
