ScHLECTE^TDAii. — Eine neue Phalloidee, nebst Bemerkungen iiber 

 die ganze FamiHe derselben, von D. F. L. v. Schlectendal. 

 Linnsea, vol. xxxi. p. 101. 



This paper commences with some account of the literature 



relating to the Phalloideae, including Oschatz's observations of 



the germination of the spores of Fhallus impudiciis. The author 



then proceeds to a rearrangement of the family, retaining the 



genus Phallus, vdih. which he unites Dictyophallus of Corda, 



Next to Phallus is placed Simblum ; and it is ia this genus that 



the new plant referred to in the title of the paper occurs. It is 



called by Prof. Schlectendal Simblum sphcEmcephalum, and is 



the first of the genus which has occurred ui South America. A 



coloured figure is given at the end of the paper. Simblum is 



followed by Pcetidaria of St. Hilaire (a genus nowhere figured 



and only imperfectly known, but which the author considers to 



have much resemblance to Simblum ) ; then comes Colus, Cav. 



and Sech. ; then Latemea of Turpin, and then Clathrus, iti 



which latter genus is placed Berkeley's Heodiciyon gracile, — the 



genua lleodietyon (which follows Clathrus) being confined to 



/. ciharium of Tulasne. Staurophallus, Mont., Aserophallus, Lap. 



and ;Mont., Lysurus, Fr., and Aseroe, La Bill., foi-m the group of 



Lysoroideae, Calathiseus of Montague being united with the latter 



genus in a separate section. The paper concludes with a notice 



of two plants observed by Loureiro iu Cochin China, and called
