200 J. B. CLELAND AND E. CHEEL. 



In the National Herbarium, Sydney, there is a fine col- 

 lection of specimens of this species collected at Campbell- 

 town State Nursery by Mr. J. H. Maiden, in December, 

 1900, and also two specimens from Grafton collected by 

 Mr. Heinreich in December, 1913. Lloyd suggests (69, p. 8) 

 that Phallus vitellinus F.v.M. (Fragm. 7, p. 122) and also 

 Ithy phallus atrominiatus Bail, belong to this species.

Desv. in Cooke (37, No. 1175) and D.tahibensis Schlecht. 



of F.v.M. (104) and Cooke (37, No. 1176). 



We have specimens of this species from Neutral Bay 



collected by Dr. E. A. D'Ombrain, spores 4*2 x 1'2/x and 



from Fiji, collected by D. J. North in March, 1908. It had 



previously been recorded from Richmond River by F. v. 



Mueller (I.e.) and from Booyong by Jackson (54). Also on 



the Endeavour River and at Brisbane, Lloyd (69, p. 4). 



Phallus multicolor Berk, and Br. (25, p. 67, t. xiv, fig. 16) r 

 Lloyd (69, p. 6). Syn. Dictyophora multicolor Berk, in 

 Cooke (37, No. 1178). 

 According to Lloyd (I.e.) the type specimen of this 

 plant is in the British Museum. It was collected at Bris- 

 bane by the late Mr. F. M. Bailey. Our specimen was 

 collected in a moist spot in sandy soil at Ballina, near 

 Lismore, by Miss R. Roth well in April, 1910, and agrees 

 exactly with the description and illustration given by Lloyd. 



Mutinus curtus Berk. (13), Lloyd, (69, 70), Cooke (37, No. 



1188). Syn. (?) Mutinus papuasius Kalch. (55), Lloyd 



(69, 70), Cooke (37, No. 1189). 

 Of Mutinus curtus Lloyd says (in 1907) that the descrip- 

 tion is based on a single collection made sixty years ago 

 by Drummond. It impressed him as based on undeveloped 

 plants and the figure given by Corda (which he reproduces) 

 he thinks is largely imaginary, and he can see no warrant
