by him respectively PJialhis impudictis and Clathrus Campana. The 

 author is of opinion that both these plants belong to the genus 

 Phallus, but that the former is not identical with P. impudicus. 

 "We may add that the accoiint of the growth of the spores in 

 Phallus given at the head of that genus is probably incorrect, 

 resting as it would seem to do solely upon Oschatz's observations. 

 Tulasne, in his " JSelecta Fungorum Carpologia," recently pub- 

 lished, states that the cellular body supposed by Oschatz to have 

 been produced by the germination of Fhalhis impiidicus was, ia 

 fact, the spore of some Sporidesmium.
