On ground
(In fresh condition) 1-3 cm wide. A good many of the plants with a distinct stalk. Other plants in a dried, mature condition were observed; sevaral of which had been marked early in the summer (June 15) when in a fresh condition. These dried plants had not yet turned over. When they were lifted out of the ground, no sign of the lower, outer half of the peridium could be seen on the ground but the inner peridium was partly covered with rather inconspicuous scales -- the remains of the lower half of the outer layer which was considerably thinner than the top half in the fresh condition and which now has dried up in the form of scales. This plant can hardly be considered the same as Morgan's plants.
