Arisaema stewardsoni Brit ton 

 Moist rich soil in woods. Lake Bonaparte. June. Similar to 

 A. triphyllum in size and general appearance, but easily 

 separated from it by the white spadix and spathe. Forms having 

 a pale but striped spathe sometimes occur and appear to be inter- 

 mediate between the two species. 



Boletus atkinsoni n. sp. 



PLATE R, FIG. I-5 



Pileus fleshy, convex or nearly plane, dry, grayish brown or 

 yellowish brown, sometimes minutely rimosely squamulose, flesh 

 white, taste mild; tubes convex, plane or slightly concave in the 

 mass, adnate or slightly depressed around the stem, 3-4 lines long, 

 the mouths minute, at first whitish and stuffed, soon open and 

 yellow or subochraceous ; stem stout, equal or slightly thickened 

 at one or both ends, solid, reticulated wholly or at the top only 

 with fine anastomosing brownish lines, pallid; spores fusiform or 

 oblong, .0004-. 0005 of an inch long, .00016-. 0002 broad.

 that they sometimes nearly disappear in drying.
