FORMS OF LYCOPERDON PIRIKORMK. 



The plant is quite variable as to shape. Usually it is somewhat pear shaped 

 and compressed but when growing on ground it takes a more globose and regular 

 shape. Yellow forms are occasionally found. We have these from S. L. Schumo 

 R. B. Mackintosh, and Wm. C. Bates. 



The following forms we feel, are worthy of separate name. 



LYCOPERDON DESMAZIERES* (Plate 49). This form has 

 the sterile base cylindrical and elongate, otherwise it is like the usual 

 form. It is rare in this country, more common in Europe. 



SPECIMENS IN OUR COLLECTION. 

 Canada, A. J. Hill; Washington, C. V. Piper: California, Edw. P. Ely. 



LYCOPERDON SEROTINUM* (Plates 50 and 61). In this 

 form the cortex is broken up into areas as well shown in our plate 61 

 fig. i. Sometimes the areas are not as large as in the figure. 



SPECIMENS IN OL-R COLLECTION. 



Michigan E , E. Bogue; New York, Chas. Peck, C. S. Conkling; Massachu- 

 setts, Elizabeth Harris. 



LYCOPERDON TESSELLATUM* (Plate 50). In this form 

 the cortex is broken up into indurated areas. It has reached me several 

 times from this country but never from Europe.

LYCOPERDON FAYEOLUM* (Plate 61 fig. 4). -Is a curi- 

 LIS torm (or sport) in which the surface is covered with nits. It has 

 reached ire but once from B. O. Longyear, Michigan. 



PSEUDO-RAD1CANS* (Plate 61). We
