[Vol. 1 

 202 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 



On moist ground in coniferous woods and also in grassy fields. 

 Prince Edward Island to North Carolina and west to Illinois. 

 June to October. 



In the American collections of this species the divisions of the 

 pilous are narrow and a short stem is present. The habit is so 

 similar to that of Thelephora anthocephala that record of the 

 fetid odor should always be made if observed. The ultimate 

 branches may be more or less terete, leading to the variety 

 amcricana Pk.

1 With regard to the citation of specimens all except those of "Exsiccati" are 

 in Burt Herb, which are cited without explicit reference to place in other herbaria. 

 For example, the specimen cited, "Connecticut: Manchester, C. C. Hanmer, 196," 

 is in Burt Herb. The data given is that received with the specimen and may identify 

 a duplicate in another herbarium. The location of all specimens in herbaria other 

 than my own is designated by the name of the herbarium in parenthesis with the 

 prefix "in." For example, the specimen cited, "Louisiana: St. Martinville, A.B. 

 Langlois (in Lloyd Herb., 3000)," is in Lloyd Herb., but not in Burt Herb.
