An article by this author entitled "The Phalloideae of 

 Texas" was published in the Journal of Mycology, May 1907. 

 The species discussed were Phallus rubicundus, Ph. impudicus 

 var. impenalis. Mutinus caninus, Simblum sphaerocephalum, and 

 S. texense (Dictybole texense), all illustrated by half-tones.. 

 Constant characters for any given species were color of stipe, 

 pileus and eggs ; surface markings of cap ; structure of stipe as 

 to number, shape and openings of the chambers. Variable char- 

 acters were shape of both stipe and pileus within narrow limits ; 

 presence or absence of a veil ; size of stipe and cap ; and shape 

 and size ^ of eggs. Study of many specimens of the species of 

 Phallus "seems to indicate that Dictvophora is not a good genus. 

 Many of the plants especially of Phallus impudicus showed veils; 

 of varying degrees of permanency."
