This appears to be the species intended by Dillenius, p. 546, 
t. 83 (whose figure is copied by Hedwig) ; and he says, “ nascitur 
in Virginia Marylandia et Pennsylvania;" it would appear to be 
common in the United States, where it has been collected by 
Chapman, Cooley, Douglas, Drummond, Green, Sullivant, and 
Torrey. C. Müller says, Syn. ii. 484, that this species is found 
also in Europe.
