1896] THE PHALLOIDEZ OF THE UNITED STATES 385 
Growing on the ground in dry fields. Massachusetts, Frost; 
New York, Schweinitz; North Carolina, Curtis; South Carolina, 
Ravenel; Alabama, Peters. 
Bosc’s illustration and description of this plant suggest, 
except in coloration of the stipe, a form of Phallus Ravenel 
B. & C., if the latter species ever occurs without its veil-like 
appendage under the pileus, or with this veil so reduced as to be 
overlooked. The outer surface of the gleba in Bosc’s figure is 
quite even, showing, as in P. Ravenelit, no such reticulation of 
lines as exist in D. duplicata on the surface of its gleba, and which 
there mark the position of the reticulate crests and ridges of the 
surface of its pileus. The dried specimens in the Curtis Herb., 
marked Phallus rubicundus, show a striking resemblance to those 
of P. Ravenelit, even in their size. One of the specimens is 
so old that its pileus has become bared through deliquescence 
of the gleba. It shows the granulate or minutely wrinkled sur- 
face characteristic of the pileus of P. Ravenelit. It is greatly to 
be hoped that whoever may have the good fortune to find J. 
rubicundus will preserve in alcohol specimens of the mature 
plant and of its eggs for a study of its structural relationships.
