Helvella vesiculosa. Hist. 175.

Pursed Helvella

This helvella especially in the first
stages of its growth bears a resemblance 
of the Helvella cochleata, but it is so
much different in size, and remains
to the last so very much contracted at the
rim in comparison of old plants of the
cochleata and from its long duration I have
ventured to figure it as a distinct species
See Bulliard Pl. 44. and 457.
