Inter species czterum affines defectu cellularum corticalium statim 
distinguenda. 
This species, without fructification, is undistinguishable from 
the usual states of S. cuspidatum; and it is probable that it 
may be found to have an extensive range, for Sullivant’s spe- 
cimens of S. recurvum, from the United States, appear to be the 
` same in structure as those from Brazil.
