This is one of our most common and widely distributed species. 

 A fleshy, terrestrial, subcentrally stemmed plant ; it is readily dis- 

 tinguished by its light color, pale-buff to yellow, sometimes red- 

 dish, never white. Its only slightly decurrent teeth separate it at 

 once from H. Washingtonianum Ell., its color and large spores, 

 7_ 9 [JL w jd e , separate it distinctly from H. albidum Pk. and from 

 the large white southern form. 



*This is a wretched piece of work whether regarded from a scientific or from an 

 artistic standpoint. It is often impossible to decide from the figures what they are in- 

 tended to represent. It is especially unfortunate that Britzelmayer has in this work 

 published many new species, whose characters, without an accurate description, are 



most effectually obscured.
