and appearance as the preceding little species, but the gleba-bearing 

 portion is strongly covered with little processes, instead of being ru- 

 gulose. 



JANSIA ANNULATA (Fig. 34). This plant is known only from a figure 

 published from Australia. No specimen exists. The stipe is white, the gleba- 

 bearing portion "red-ochre" and "annulated." The plant is therefore probably 

 a Jansia, but this is not surely known. 



JANSIA BONINENSIS (Fig. 35). This species from Bonin Island, is 

 only known, I think, with certainty, from one collection in alcohol. The gleba 

 bearing portion is slightly rugulose, and it seems intermediate between Mutinus 

 and Jansia, being typically neither. The type collection is in alcohol in Berlin. 

 I am not sure that Mutinus minimus and Mutinus borneensis are not both 

 the same as this species.

THE GENUS FLOCCOMUTINUS. 



This genus is very curious and is intermediate between the pileate 

 and non-pileate phalloids. The gleba covers a loosely attached net- 

 work surrounding the stipe, and while similar to the veil of a Phallus, 

 it is analogous to the pilcus of a Phallus. The drawing by Professor 

 Fischer (our figure 36) gives a good idea of this structure. The exact
