PHOTOGRAPHS OF PHALLOIDS 



We are pleased to publish a new photograph of a new (?)phalloid 

 received from C. A. O'Connor, Mauritius. 



PSEUDOCOLUS MAURITIANUS (Fig. 1030). We present a 

 photograph of an interesting phalloid received from C. A. O'Connor, 

 Mauritius. There were no notes as to color with it, but it was no 

 doubt red. The photograph, which was made from the fresh speci-

men by D. d'Emmercy, is so characteristic that it will permanently 

 fix it, and we hope others will find it and confirm it. Mr. O'Connor, 

 who is leaving Mauritius shortly on military service, writes me that 

 specimen will be delivered to my English address. 



We propose a new name for it, although we have a suspicion that 

 the plant now has three names. 



Pseudocolus Mauritianus has five columns united by connecting 

 arms at the top. It belongs to the clathroid alliance, and has a general 

 relation to Clathrus Treubii (Phal. Syn. Fig. 72), of Java. 



Pseudocolus rugulosus (Phal. Synopsis, Fig. 67), with three columns directly 

 united at top, is known only from a very old drawing at Kew (from Java), and it 

 may be same species.
