This agTees pretty well mtli the figure above quoted, but is rather more divaricated. Another plant 
exists in the Collection without fructification, but evidently allied to the present species, more slender in 
every part, the main branches being beset with numerous short simple ramuli, while the ultimate ones are 
subsecund.

Of this extraordinary and beautiful Fungus, no specimen exists in the Collection ; but an admirable draw- 
ing has been kindly communicated to us by Captain Beechey, which he made fi'om the recent plant in the 
island of Tahiti j and which, with a vertical section from the pencil of the same gentleman, gives a better 
idea of its structure than can be conveyed by words. The volva was probably omitted to be gathered. 
There can scarcely be a doubt of its being the same species with that figiu-ed by Rumphius : and it corre- 
sponds in so many particulars witli the Dictyophora phalloidea of Leveille, (the P. indusiatus of Vent, and 
Fries,) from South America, that probably the two species may safely be united. Its geographical range is 
certainly very extensive ; being foimd in the interior of India, whence we have specimens from Dr. Wallich, 
gathered at SiDiet.

The specimen before us agrees admirably with the description given in the above-mentioned work : it is 
however, extremely doubtful if it be distinct as a species from Z. piscidium. The only specimen in the 
packet was from Oneeheow or Nihow; but it also occm-red at Oahu, according to Mr. Collie’s notes.
