Geaster triplex Jungh. Jungh. nov. gen. et sp. plant, fl. Jav. 



287. Hollos Gasteromyc. Ungarns. 73. Lloyd, The 



Geastrae 25. 

 A specimen of this uncommon Geaster was sent to me by 

 Miss Gulielma Lister, on the 14th October, 1917, from Prest- 

 wood, near Wycombe, Bucks. Worthington G. Smith in- 

 cludes it in his list of British Basidiomycetes at p. 71. It is 

 characterized by the outside of the exoperidium cracking up 

 into areolae, the very thick, fleshy collenchyma-like inner layer 

 of the exoperidium, which makes the exoperidium on section 

 appear yery like that of a Scleroderma, and the elongate colu- 

 mella reaching to the centre of the endoperidium. Spores 

 light brown, globose, 4-5/x, warted, capillitium threads light 

 brown, 6-7/x in diameter.
