446 Rev. M. J. Berkeley on some Fungi collected 



which I am acquainted, has quite the hahit of a lichen ; indeed, it 

 was in the same packet with Borrera chrysophthalma and other cor- 

 tical lichens. It does not spring from beneath the bark.

10. Exidia Auricula Juda, Fr., Darw. No. 973. 



On beech-trees. Port Famine. May 1833. 



The specimens appear to be the same as the Eui'opean species, but 

 the down of the external surface is not so strongly marked. 



11. Peziza scutellata, L., Darw. No. 1111. 



On rotten wood in a forest. I. of Inchy, N. of Cape Tres Montes, 

 1834. 



12. Nididaria plicata, Fr., Darw. ISo. 268. 

 On sticks in forest. Rio Janeiro. June 1832. 



13. Phallus campanulatus, n. s. Capitulo libero campanu- 

 lato ruguloso pendo ; apice annuliformi ; stipite supra deor- 

 siimque attenuato. Darw. No. 712. 



On sand-dunes. Maldonado. June 1833. 



Dirt}' white ; head bell-shaped, more than an inch broad at the 

 base, nearly l^inch liigh, free below, ■v\'ith the border rather spread- 

 ing, minutely wrinkled, ending above in a distinct, abrupt, ring-like 

 border with a broad perforation in its centre, covered when fresh 

 with a greenish black at length fluid mass, which has a scarcely 

 offensive odour. Stem 4 inches high,^ths of an inch thick, attenua,ted 

 above and below, deeply but minutely pitted, inserted by a very 

 narrow base into the little cup-shaped inner volva. The outer volva 

 was unfortunately so broken that its form could not be ascertained. 



The species belongs to the same section with Phallus aurantiaciis, 

 Mont., and Phallus hnpudicus, but is distinguished by the ring-like 

 apex and the rugulose, not reticulate, hymenium. Plumier, ' Filices/ 

 167. G, is most probably the same thing, but the peculiar form of the 

 apex is not represented.

14. Clathrus crispus, Turp. 

 Var. /3. obovatus. Darw. No. 647. 



On sand-dunes. Maldonado. Not common. May and June 1832. 



" Salmon-coloured ; brownish- green intemallj'." 



All the specimens, which, with one exception, are in a young state, 

 are regularly obovate or pjTiform, and in this point strikingly diflfer- 

 ent from the plant of Turpin. In other respects the resemblance is 

 so close that 1 am constrained to consider it a mere variety, especially 

 asCfathrus cancellatusjrora Micheli's and Brondeau's figures, appears 

 to be occasionally obovate. It is quite scentless, whereas C. cancel- 

 latus is described as extremely foetid. It appears to be the species 

 figured by Phimicr, ' Filices,' tab. 1()7. H.
