500 THE RET. M. J. BERKELEY A^'D MR. C. E. BROOME 



The plant of Nov. 1867 is a variety with an equal stem, suclias 

 occurs occasioually in our hothouses. 



20. A. (Lepiota) licmophorus, B, Sf Br. Pileo piano depresso 

 membranaceo citrino plicato-sulcato, margine crenato ; stipite gracili 



sursum attenuate fistuloso citriao ; lamellis arcuatis distantibus can- 

 didis remotis (no. 7LS cum icone). 



On the ground. Peradeniya, Sept. 1868. 



Pileus 1 inch across, lemon-coloured, membranaceous, deeply plicato- 

 sulcate up to the central disk, margin crenate ; stem 3^ inches high, 

 attenuated upwards, lemon-coloured, 1 line thick in the centre, fistu- 

 lose, truncate at the base; ring about halfway up; gills distant, 



slightly arched, remote, interstices veined; spores lemon-shai)ed, 

 •0005' long. 



This species, like the former, occurs occasionally in our hot- 

 houses. It is probable that they were originally introduced with 

 exotic plants, as they never occur in the open air. The species 

 approaches very closely to Trles's genus Hiatula. 



21. A. (Lepiota) pselliophorus, B, Sf Br. Pileo piano depresso 

 carnoso fusco diffracto-maculato, margine arcuato, stipite crassiusculo 

 armillato solido ; annulo descendente ample striato ; lameUis ventri- 

 cosis pallidis postice rotundatis approximatis (no. 798 cum icone). 



On the ground. Peradeniya, Nov. 1868. 



Pdeus If mch across, plane, depressed, brown-spotted from the breaking 

 up here and there of the cuticle, margin repaud ; flesh thick, white ; 

 stem 1^ inch high, § inch thick, sohd, clothed with transverse rings 

 of scales ; ring white, broad, descending, striate from the impression 

 of the gills ; gills white, \ inch wide, ventricose, rounded behind, ap- 

 proximate ; mycelium white. 



22. A. (Lepiota) thrombophorus, B. ^ Br. Pileo conico albo 

 squamis grumosis brunneis obsito, margine fisso; stipite subaequali 

 furfuraceo, annulo ample descendente ; lamellis angustis utrinqne at- 

 tenuatis candidis (no. 903 cum icone). 



On the ground. Jan. 9, 1869. 



Pdeus I inch wide, beset with dark brown grumous scales ; stem I inch 

 high, 1 line thick, smooth, reddish; ring descending, ample; gills 

 scarcely | line broad, attenuated at either end, white, approximate ; 

 spores -0005' long. 



No. 92e3 appears to be a variety with more pilose scales and 

 broader ventricose gills. The spores agree exactly. Allied to 

 A, alho'vusseus.
