The specimens from Rookwood were photographed by 

 Mr. A. G. Hamilton, who sent a copy to Mr. C. G. Lloyd, 

 who published the following remarks concerning it (90): — 



"Aseroe Muelleriana, the broad limbed form, cf? Phalloids of 

 Australasia, p. 18. It is the first specimen of this form 1 have 

 seen. Heretofore I have only known Kalchbrenner's figure." 



In a subsequent memo it is again referred to by Lloyd 

 (93) under the name Aseroe Hookeri, and again by the 

 same author (85), who reproduces Mr. Hamilton's photo- 

 graph, under the name A, rubra. 



Pseudocolus rothae Lloyd (69, p. 20, fig. 21, and 70, p. 53, 

 fig. 69). Syn. Clathrus triscapus Turp. in Cooke (37, 

 No. 1191) and Bailey (10, p. 746, fig. 813); Colus rothae 

 Fischer (50). 



According to Lloyd (I.e.) there are at the Royal Her- 

 barium, Kew (England), two collections of this species, 

 one from Miss Carter, Moonan Brook, N.S.W., and the other 

 from Bailey, Brisbane. Bailey sent a sketch of this speci- 

 men with the following notes: — 



"Divisions of the receptacle always three, arched, and joined 

 at the apex, of a rich orange, and obtusely triangular, porous 

 celled. The entire portion (stipe) very short or not extending 

 beyond the volva." 



One of us (J. B. O.) collected some fine specimens at 

 Bulli Pass, in April, 1914, which may be briefly described 

 as follows: — Unexpanded specimens white, globose, half an 

 inch in diameter. The receptacle from a short base at once 

 divides into three, sometimes four, slightly arched columns 

 which cohere at their apices, surrounding in their upper 

 part the dark greyish-black slimy gleba. Out of eight 

 specimens collected altogether, two had four columns and 

 the others had three, but in one of these latter, one column 

 was thicker and divided into two in its upper part. The
