Norwood, 
This is one of the smallest species, very com¬ 
mon in the United States. It is more rare in Europe. 
From Australia we have seen several collections 
at Kew and have received a specimen (Fig. 21) 
from J. G. O. Tepper, Norwood, that corresponds 
exactly with the American plant. 
Specimen in our Collection.

GEASTER RUFESCENS.—Unexpanded plant globose. Exo- 
peridium revolute. Pedicel 
short but thick. Mouth in¬ 
definite. 
This species which is 
rather rare both in Europe 
and America, is a reddish plant 
almost the same as Geaster 
limbatus, which is not known 
from Australia, and is a black 
plant. The only specimen we 
have seen from Australia is 
the plant called Geaster Rea- 
deri (Grev. 16-73) which is 
smaller than the usual Ameri¬ 
can form. Our illustration 
(fig. 22) is from an American plant. 
Endoperidium Sessile. 
GEASTER SACCATUS.—Unexpanded plant acute, Myceli¬ 
um sub-basal. Exoperidium saccate, the segments revolute. Endo¬ 
peridium sessile, the mouth definite.
