pileus and stipe are rose colored. It was from the Canary Islands. I have 

 found no type. 



PHALLUS FARLOWIL This from alcoholic (or dried?) material from 

 Brazil has never been illustrated. It is said to have a membranous veil, other- 

 wise it is very close to Phallus indusiatus. 



PHALLUS QUADRICOLOR (Fig. 102). I think is probably based on 

 a specimen of Phallus multicolor which has lost its veil. From Australia. 



THE GENUS CLAUTRIAVIA. 



This genus is characterized by having the surface of the pileus 

 convoluted in folds, the gleba covering the folds and permeating the 

 interspaces between them. Our figure (which is an enlargement six 



diameters) will give a clear idea of 

 this structure. The original species, 

 Clautriavia merulina, which is a fre- 

 ciuent plant in Java, Ceylon, and the 

 East Indies, in general (probably) 

 has very minute folds, so that the 

 surface to the eye appears even, but a 

 recently discovered species of New 

 Guinea, Clautriavia Lauterbachii, has 

 the folds so strongly convoluted that 

 in the egg the pileus appears to be a 

 crumpled veil covered with gleba. 



CLAUTRIAVIA MERULINA 

 (Fig. 19). This species has the gen- 

 eral appearance of being a Phallus. 

 The pileus, however, instead of being 

 a plain or reticulate membrane with the gleba on the outer surface, 

 consists of minutely convoluted folds, the gleba permeating the de- 

 pressions between the folds. It has long been known as a common 

 species in Java. 4 Recently T. Fetch has published that it is abundant 

 in the grounds of the Botanical Garden at Peradeniya, Ceylon. When 

 the truth of the subject is known it will probably be found to be gen- 

 erally distributed in the East Indies and neighboring countries. 



CLAUTRIAVIA LAUTERBACHII (Fig. 20). This species, 

 which has a most remarkable structure, is unfortunately known only 

 from some undeveloped plants from New Guinea. The pileus in the 



Berkeley named the plant Phallus merulinus, many years ago, and while he gave no 

 he characterized it in an unmistakable manner, 



it appears to me now. Fischer incorrectly referred the name as 

 indusiatus, and Cooke illustrated a form of Phallus indusiatus of Australi; 



formal description of it (in pidgin Latin) 



synonym for Phallus 

 under Berkeley's 



ame. Patouillard discovered it to be a "new species" from Java, and named it irpicinus, 

 which name we have previously used, and would continue to use if it had any application to
