PLANTS RECEIVED DURING SEPTEMBER, 1907: 



CRADWICK, WILLIAM, Jamaica: 



Clathrus crispus (This is a phalloid that has never been illustrated 

 by a photograph, though Turpin seems to have given a fairly good cut of it). 



DONOR UNKNOWN, New South Wales: 



Scleroderma (It has the aspect to me of being something peculiar. 

 The peridium is thin, yellow, wrinkled, smooth). 



DUMEE, PAUL, Switzerland: 



Fom.es officinalis (growing on Larix). 



GREEN, ALBERT, Australia: 



Stereum, Peziza, Corticium (?), Genus unknown to me. Fine 

 collection of Stereum, Peziza, Corticium, etc., genera of which I am not at 

 all informed as to the foreign species. 



HAMILTON, A. G., New South Wales: 



Scleroderma flavidum, Bovistella (genus ?) (Of a type unfamiliar 

 to me. Gleba purplish. No sterile base. Capillitium long, intertwined, 

 but I think separate threads.. Spores globose, smooth, not pedicellate or 

 even apiculate. Unfortunately a single specimen. Mt. Kenibla. Old and 

 does not show cortex characters. I know no puff ball that even approxi- 

 mates this combination of characters.), Clavaria, Polysaccum crassipes 

 (more typical than usual from Australia), Polysaccum tuberosum (Globose, 

 stem! ess form.), Aseroe Muelleriana (The broad limbed form, cfr. Phalloids 

 of Australasia, page 18. It is the first specimen of this form I have seen. 

 Heretofore I have only known Kalchbrenner's figure.), Geaster saccatua 

 (Much deeper base than usual to the saccate exoperidium). 



HINSBY, G. K., Tasmania: 



; New genus!! (Peridium double, the inner separate from the other, 

 and of a felty nature.. Dehiscence doubtful, both unopened. Gleba olive, a 

 mass of powdery spores without capillitium. Spores hyaline, elliptical 

 7 x 12. I have seen at Kew unnamed specimens of this same genus, but 

 not the same species. It belongs to a little known but interesting group 

 of genera, characterized by elliptical, hyaline spores. This section includes 

 Castoreum and Mesophellia and at least two other unnamed genera, now 

 in my collection, from Australia. Also I would, include Protubera of Brazil. 

 The position of the group is doubtful. Some appear to be hypogaeal, 

 though different in gleba structure from the Hymenogasters. Others 

 Castoreum closer to the Gastromycetes, and Protubera has been doubt- 

 fully compared to phalloids.), Schizophyllum commune, two species of 

 Polyporus. 



KLINCKSIECK, PAUL, France: 



Trametes hispida (on poplar, in the Pyrenees), Polyporus rutilans 

 (on beech, Fontainebleau), Polyporus varius (Fontainebleau). 



NOACK, F., Germany: 



Polyporus fumcsus (on willow), Lenzites betulina (This is typical 

 betulina according to Fries' description rigid, "firm." Compared to it the
