It was only seen in the advanced state in which it is here repre- 
sented, when the volva, which sends down two or three 
rather stout fibrous radicles from its lower extremity, had 
burst at the upper into 3 unequal lobes; and the stipes and. 
| receptacle had attained to a height of 3-4 inches, both of a 
| yellowish colour, and remarkably delicate cellular texture, 
hollow in the middle. The receptacle or pileus had so much 
the appearance of a honey-comb as to suggest the generic 
name. The cells were filled with gelatinous, dark-green 
sporidia: but in the spirits the sporidia were washed out, and 
the whole pileus was of a somewhat gelatinous texture, and 
cancellated, as represented at fig. 2, the edges of the bars 
regularly crisped. The plant yielded a powerful smell.
