RECEIVED. 
145-Note 1-GEASTER HYGROMETRICUS VAR. GIGANTEUS. 
The specimens received from 
L. A. Greata and Prof. Maebride 
are so mu eh. larger than normal 
that we think they merit the 
name var. giganteus. The ac¬ 
companying illustration is natural 
size. We think that this large 
form does not occur in Europe.

147— Note 3—GYROPHRAG¬ 
MIUM deeilei. 
This plant (see Myc. Notes, 
No. 136), according to Patouil- 
lard, who is familiar with the 
original plant from Northern 
Africa and Southern Europe, and 
than whom there is no better 
authority, is Gyrophragmium 
Delilei “ tout a fait.” It is the 
identical plant on which the 
genus was founded. The char¬

very recent Engler & Prantl 
146— Note 2—GEASTER 
MINIMUS. 
Most of our foreign specimens 
of this species were received un¬ 
der the name Geaster marginatus. 
Having studied the foreign plants 
and looked up Vittadini’s illus¬ 
tration there is no doubt that it 
is the same little common plant 
we have, Geaster minimus, which 
name is firmly established in this 
country and has “priority.”
