The verruce or spinules are so minute, that at first sight, they are are os 
visible, the peridium appearing nearly smooth. They persist even in the old me 
and flaccid condition of the plant. The species is manifestly closely related ke 
f to L. atropurpureum, but that is described. as “ at first rough with minute | oe 
spines,” thus indicating that it becomes smooth afterwards. It is also said to ny 
be “ dingy-rufous,” but our plant is constantly yellow. re 2
