Phallus formosanus, or more commonly witch's hat stinkhorn, is a species of fungus in the stinkhorn family, Phallaceae.[2]
Description
Taxonomy
It was first described in 1931 as Ithyphallus roseus. When transferred to the genus Phallus in 1938, the replacement name Phallus formosanus was required as Phallus roseus had been published in 1813 for a different species.[2]
The duplicated and hence illegitimate name Phallus formosanus was published in 1957 by W.S. Lee and is now correctly Phallus taipeiensis.[3]
