S.W. — Halifax. " On the ground in Gardens or Cornfields 

 in places where the soil has been lately turned up for 

 Cultivation. I have seen it here very rarely, and it has been

 the authority of Dickson, but a specimen now exists in the 

 herbarium of the Rev. M. J. Berkeley, figured by Dr. Cooke 

 in ' Mycogr.' " (Phil. Brit. Disc. pp. 50-51). Bolton corres-
