LYCOPERDACEAE 89 



by Hollos, but Lloyd thinks that the typical pratense docs not occur in the United 

 States. A specimen from New Zealand determined as L. praiaisc by Lloyd docs not 

 look like our L. marginatum, as the spines are much shorter and the denuded pcridium 

 shows no obvious furfurescence. The spores are slightly smaller and both they and the 

 capillitium are paler than in our plants. 



From the description and illustration, L. abscission R. E. Fries from Bolivia and 

 Argentina is nearest L. marginatum. It is remarkable in the comparatively large size 

 of the subgleba which occupies most of the fruit body.
