Abstract

Systematics of the recently proposed Geastrum sect. Schmidelia is studied in detail, with special emphasis on the taxonomic placement of G. schmidelii var. parvisporum. This variety is found to be not phylogenetically close to G. schmidelii var. schmidelii, the type species of sect. Schmidelia, and it is therefore excluded for this section, taxonomically raised to the specific level (as G. parvisporum), and included as a member of sect. Hariotia. On the other hand, a second species in Geastrum sect. Schmidelia is recognized and formally described as Geastrum senoretae. It is characterized by its small basidiomata, non-hygrometric exoperidium, subsessile endoperidium, and finely plicate, indistinctly delimited peristome, being only known from Spain so far. Photographs and drawings are included, and a comparison with close taxa is also given. The presence of sclerified basidia in the mature gleba, previously not reported in the genus, is commented.
