Arisaema stewardsoni Britton 

 Moist rich soil in woods. Lake Bonaparte. June. Similar to 

 A. t r i p h y 1 1 u m in size and general appearance, but easily 

 separated from it by the white spadix and spathe. Forms having 

 a pale but striped spathe sometimes occur and appear to be inter- 

 mediate between the two species. 



Boletus atkinsoni n. sp. 



PLATE R, FIG. I-5 



Pileus fleshy, convex or nearly plane, dry, grayish brown or 

 yellowish brown, sometimes minutely rimosely squamulose, flesh 

 white, taste mild; tubes convex, plane or slightly concave in t'he 

 mass, adnate or slightly depressed around the stem, 3-4 lines long, 

 the mouths minute, at first whitish and stuffed, soon open and 

 yellow or subochraceous ; stem stout, equal or slightly thickened 

 at one or both ends, solid, reticulated wholly or at the top only 

 with fine anastomosing brownish lines, pallid; spores fusiform or 

 oblong, .0004-. 0005 of an inch long, .0001 6-. 0002 broad.
