 what variable, has been defcribed under various fyno- 

 nyms. It is fometimes warty, and has a longifli at- 

 tenuated rtem. It is very well figured in Vaillant, 

 tab. TlG. fig. 7. Batfch, tab. 42. has figured it without a 

 ftem, and with the root innnediately fpringing from

J\ CURIOUS fpecies, fimilar in many refpe6ts to L. re- 

 colligens^ figured at tab. 80. of this work, from which it 

 differs more particularly in having a fupport or ftalk to 

 the head above the volva, which however is hardly to 

 be difcovered in the recent fpecimen, on account of 

 the great thicknefs of the volva wdiile moift. The 

 mouth is prominent, and generally fringed.

1 AM obliged to T.J. Woodward, Efq.ofBungay,F.L.S. 

 author of the diflTertation to which I have already re- 

 ferred tab. 80. for excellent fpecimens of this rare 

 plant. It differs from the others of its tribe in having 

 feveral orifices to emit the powder,as well as many little 

 pillars or fupports to the head above the volva.
