Descripción
Sumario:Geastrum argentinum, a long forgotten species described by Spegazzini and previously regarded by Soto and Wright (2000) as a synonym of G. fimbriatum, has been found in several locations in Argentina. A careful analysis revealed relevant differences between those taxa, proving the validity of Spegazzini's species. Here we re-describe Spegazzini's species from the damaged type material and from new fresh collections, proposing one of them as an epitype. © 2013 The Mycological Society of Japan.
