This agrees pretty m'cU Mith the figure above quoted, but is nitlier more divaricated. Anotlier plant
exists in the Collection without fructification, but evidently allied to the present species, more slender in
every pait, the main branches being beset with numerous short simple ramuli, while the ultimate ones are
suhsecuud.

Of this extraordinary and beautiful Fungus, no specimen exists in the Collection; but an admh-able drawing
has been kindly communicated to us by Captain Beechey, which he made from the recent plant in the
island of Taliiti; and which, u-ith a vertical seption from the pencil of the same gentleman, gives a better
idea of its structure than can be conveyed by words. The volva was probably omitted to be gathered.
There can scarcely be a doubt of its being the same species with that figured hy Rumphius: and it corresponds
in so many particulars with the Dictyophora phalloidea of Leveille, (the P. indusiatus of Vent, and
Fries,) from South America, that probably the two species may safely he united. Its geographical range is
certainly very extensive; being found iu the interior of India, whence we have specimens from Dr. Wallich,
gathered at Silhet.

Tbe specimen before us agrees admirably with the description given in the above-mentioned work : it is
however, extremely doubtful if it be distinct as a species from L . piscidium. The only specimen in the
packet was from Oneeheow or Nihow; but it also occurred at Oahu, according to Mr. Collie’s notes.
