Boletus Morgani (Plate xxxv.) — Pileus pulvinate, soft, glab- 
rous, viscid, red or yellow, or red fading to yellow on the margin ; 
tubes convex, depressed about the stem, rather long and large, 
unequal, subrotund, bright yellow becoming greenish yellow; stem 
elongated, tapering upward, adorned with long, narrow reticulations, 
yellow, the depressions red ; the flesh of stem and pileus whitish 
tinged with red and yellow ; not changing color when cut or bruised; 
spores olive-brovvn, .0007 to .0009 of an inch long, about half as 
broad. 
Plant 4 to 6 inches high, pileus r.5 to 2.5 inches broad, stem 3 to 
6 lines thick.

Rocky hillsides, in woods of chestnut, oak and tulip-trees. Nor- 
wood, Kentucky. August. A. P. Morgan. 
The color of the pileus is usually red on a yellow ground, and 
that of the stem is yellow on the elevations or ridges, and red in the 
depressions. The red disk of the pileus sometimes fades into yellow 
on the margin. In wet weather the anastomosing ridges of the stem 
swell out and become broadly winged, thereby giving the stem a pe- 
culiar shaggy or lacerated appearance. The species is related to j9. 
Russellii^ Frost, from which it is readily separated by its glabrous, 
viscid pileus and its longer spores. The two species constitute a 
natural section or subgenus, which is, so far as now known, peculiar 
to this country, and to which may be ascribed the following name 
and diagnosis : 
_ LACERIPEDES. Stem elongated, strongly vcnose-reticidated, 
the veins intumescent in wet weather. 
Pileus dry, hairy or tomentose-hairy, - • ^ B. Eussellii, Frost. 
Pileus viscid, glabrous, - - B, Morgani, Peck. 
Hexagona favoloides. — Pileus thin, coriaceous, sessile, nar- 
rowly and concentrically zonate, slightly sulcate, glabrous, somewhat 
shining, brown ; pores pallid, then brownish, shallow, hexagonal, 
■028 to .042 of an inch across. 
Decaying wood. Roatan Island. J. J. Brown, M.D. 
Allied to B, polygramma, Mont., and H, tenuis, Hook., but unlike 
either in color and in the character of the margin of the pileus. In 
Its color, and in the character of^the zones of the pileus, our species 
very much resembles fresh specimens of Dmialea confragosa, Pers., 
from which it is separated by its thin pileus and the character of the 
hymenium. The i)ores are scarcely half a line in diameter and are
