“TYLOSTOMA MEYENIANUM,” 
I can not see how any one who has seen these specimens in the 
Curtis collection can have any doubt as to their identity with 
Clilamydopus Meyenianus. (C. clavatus of Spegazzini, cfr. Myc. 
Notes, p. 134.) 
“BOVISTA NIGRESCENS.” 
The specimen from Lea is Bovista pila, confirming statement 
on page 116, Myc. Notes. Four other specimens on this sheet in the 
Curtis collection are B. plumbea. 
MITREMYCES RAVENEEH, VAR. MINOR. 
Specimens seem to me to be young Ravenelii rather than the 
small plant I have so called. (Cfr. Myc. Notes, p. 127.) 
CYATHUS WRIGHTII. 
Miss White’s figure of this plant is very misleading, and I 
should say very inaccurate. The abrupt swelling at the base, which 
she shows as the shape of the plant, is simply a ball of adhering dirt. 
CORYNITES CURTISII. 
I fully agree with Prof. Burt that the specimen is the same 
plant Morgan subsequently described, correctly illustrated and 
named Mutinus bovinus. I do not like to use Berkeley’s name because 
he so badly figured it, nor Morgan’s because he so badly selected it, 
and so I will have to fall back on priority and use Montague’s name, 
Mutinus elegans. 
CAULOGEOSSUM TRANSVERSARIUM. 
There are four collections in the Curtis herbarium which show 
that it was not then considered a rare plant in the south. Some were 
originally labeled “Clavaria pistillaris.” One is labeled “Secotium 
transversarium,” B. & C. I think it was never published under the 
latter name. 
SECOTIUM TEXENSE 
I think is only a small-spored form of Gyrophiagmium Delilei, 
and should be called Gyrophragmium Delilei, var. Texense. 
PHAEEUS RAVENELII. 
Little can be told from the old specimen that remains, but it is 
accompanied by a full description by Ravenel (written to Curtis). If 
Berkeley had used these notes instead of his brief synopsis which de¬ 
scribed nothing, it would not have remained for Prof. Peck to give 
us the first real account of the plant. If I believed in adding names 
of persons to plants as “advertisements” I would add Peck’s name and 
not Berkeley’s to this plant.
