indusiatus Vent, in 1831 and Phallus Daemonum Rumpf. was 
reported from Ohio by Berkley 1 in 1869. In 1873 Berkeley 2 gave 
a synopsis of the Phalloideae of North America and includes the 
three species mentioned above. He also gives localities from 
which they are reported and the names of the collectors, as fol¬ 
lows : P. duplicatus Bose reported from South Carolina by 
Wright; P. indusiatus Vent, from South Carolina by Ravenel 
and P. Daemonum Rumpf. from Alabama by Peters and by 
Ravenel. 
In 1880, Gerard 3 listed the Phalloideae reported from the

United States. The indusiate forms mentioned in this list are the 
same as those mentioned in Berkley’s synopsis. 
E. A. Ran 4 of Pennsylvania in 1882 found three specimens 
of what he suspected to be a new species of Phallus. Photog¬ 
raphs were sent to .Kalchbrenner and to other mycologists 
Kalchbrenner concluded that the large trumpet-shaped veil and 
the small meshes toward the margin of the veil were characters of 
enough importance to distinguish this as a new species. He 
named the form P. togatus Kalch. The dimensions of the parts 
are as follows: Total height 18.7 cm., height of pileus 4.8 cm., 
length of veil 6.4 cm., diameter of volva 6.6 cm., diameter of 
stipe at the top of the volva 3.4 cm., diameter of the stipe at the 
lower margin of the pileus 2.8 cm. 
Another supposedly new species Phallus collaris Cragin was 
reported and named by F. W. Cragin 5 in 1885. Two specimens 
were found in Shawnee County, Kansas. They were rather large 
and stout. Other distinguishing characteristics noted were the 
large pore at the apex of the stipe, the remnant of the peridium 
borne on the top of the pileus and the short veil, with large poly¬ 
gonal perforations, torn loose from beneath the pileus and pro¬ 
truding from the mouth of the ruptured volva. The measure¬ 
ments of this form are given. Total height 12.5 cm., height of 
pileus 4.4 cm., length of veil 1.8 cm., breadth of stipe at the base 
of the pileus 2.5 cm., at the summit of the volva 3.1 cm., breadth 
of the pileus 2.9 cm., breadth of the volva 5 cm. 
In 1888, A. P. Morgan 6 included both P. duplicatus Bose and 
P. Daemonum Rumpf. in a synopsis of Nbrth American Fungi. 
According to his descriptions P. duplicatus has an acute pileus 
and a long, often ragged veil, while P. Daemonum has a shorter
