reous patches on the pileus aud base of the stem, and the other 

 with a smooth skin. The spores are similar in all. 



50. A. (Lepiota) ceramogenes, B. ^' Br. Pusillus, stramineus; 



pileo e campanulato convexo umbonato glabro vel parce granaloso 

 margine appendiculato ; stipite brevi, annulo fugaci ; lamellis ven- 

 tiicosis candidis approximatis (no. 1191 cum icone). 



On the soil of flower-pots. June 1869. 



Pileus 2-3 lines across, campanulate, then plane and umbonate, straw- 

 coloured, smooth, or slightly granulated, margin appendiculate, even j 

 stem ^ inch high, § line thick, having a few fragments of the ring 

 above ; gills white, ventricose, | line wide ; spores oblong, "00025' 

 long. The gills turn red in drying. 



This is a very distinct species from A.Jioralis, B. & C, which 

 has totally different spores. 



51. A. (Lepiota) pyrrhaes, B. ^ Br. Pileo convexo obtuso verruculis 

 lateritiis obsito ; stipite sublateritio farcto deorsum plus minus gra- 

 nulato; lamellis latiscarneispostice rotundatis approximatis (no. 1163 



cum icone). 



On the ground. June 1869. 



Pileus I inch across, obtuse or broadly umbonate, clothed with brick- 

 red granules; stem | inch high, 1 line thick, stuffed, equal, mostly 

 paler than the pileus, more or less scaly, smooth above, more rarely 

 quite smooth, red within; gills 1 line wide, ventricose, rounded be- 

 hind, flesh-coloui'ed ; spores ovate oblong, *00()3' long. 



There is a form (no. 1163* cum icone) strongly umbonate, the 

 stem more scaly, the gills narrower, paler, and not so ventricose 

 or rounded behind. 



52. A. (Lepiota) erythrostictus, B. 8f Br. Pileo ex ovato he- 

 mispha^rico lilacino cuticula in particulas concolores rupta; stipite 

 hlacino e farcto cavo deorsum furfuraceo ; lamellis leviter ventricosis 

 approximatis; sporis elongatis (no. 755 cum icone). 



On the ground. Peradeniya, Sept. Dec. 1868. 



Pileus 1 inch across, at first ovate, lilac,' with the cuticle, which is at 

 first continuous, broken up into little darker specks; flesh tinged 

 with pink; stem 1-1 ^ inch high, springing from radiating threads, 

 furfuraceous below the fugitive ring, or striate reddish, stuffed, the 

 fibres at last forming a slender cord; gilb ventricose^ \\ hne broaa, 

 white, rounded behind, approximate; spores oblong, narrow, v\j\jo 

 long, without any nucleus, or '00025' with a nucleus. 



53. A. (Lepiota) russoceps, B. Sf Br. Pileo e campanulato piano- 



convexo 



fulvo pulverulento-maculato estriato, stipite subsequah paT- 



lidiore farcto; lameUis palUdis ventricosis approximatis (bo. U^ 

 cum icone). 

 On the ground. June 1860.
