Helvella feritoria. Hist. 97.
Battledore Helvella.

This new and curious Helvella I found
in the grass walks in the plantation at Fixby
the seat of [blank] Thornhill Esqr. near Elland.

Tis flat like a small battledore, the Pileus,
if such we may call it, is wrinkled semitransparent
and tough, the stem flat and solid, the whole
plant shrivels up like a bit of Leather in the
Drying.
