Validation of <i>Aseroë coccinea</i> (Phallales, Phallaceae)

Abstract

The specimen examined in this study is deposited in the herbarium of National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo (TNS). Macroscopic characters were described by observations on dried material under a stereo microscope. For light microscopic observations, free-hand sections of gleba and peridium were mounted in water and 1% (w/v) cotton-blue lactophenol on glass slides. Forty randomly selected basidiospores were measured under a light microscope at 1000× magnifi cation.
