236 NORTH AMERICAN FLORA [VoLuME 9 
Russula cutefracta Cooke, Grevillea 10: 46. 1881. Reported from New York by Peck. 
The specimens so determined seem to be R. variata Banning & Peck, which sometimes occurs 
with the surface cracking into areolae. 
Russula depallens (Pers.) Fries, Epicr. Myc. 353. 1838. Reported from Connecticut 
by White, and from Pennsylvania by McIlvaine. It is described in McIlv. Am. Fungi 192. 
1900. 
Russula drimeja Cooke, Grevillea 10: 46. 1881. Reported from Washington by Bur- 
lingham. ‘The specimens so determined seem upon further comparison to be R. Queletit. 
The spore-color was not given in the field notes, and the determination as to whether the 
specimens represent R. drimeja or R. Queletii depends upon the color of the lamellae, which 
seems to place the plants rather with R. Queletii. They certainly do not represent R. expallens

Russula elegans Bres. Fungi Trid.1: 21. 1882. Reported from West Virginia and Penn- 
sylvania by McIlvaine. It is described in McIlv. Am. Fungi 200. 1900. 
Russula lilacea Quél. Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. 23: 330. 1876. Reported from Michigan by 
Kauffman. Specimens thus determined which I have seen proved to be R. Mariae Peck. 
Russula Linnaei Fries, Epicr. Myce. 358. 1838. Reported from West Virginia and Penn- 
sylvania by McIlvaine. A description is given in McIlv. Am. Fungi 196. 1900. 
Russula nitida (Pers.) Fries, Epicr. Myc. 361. 1838. Reported by Frost in the ‘‘Cata- 
logue of Plants Growing without Cultivation within Thirty Miles of Amherst College.” 
Russula ochracea (Alb. & Schw.) Fries, Epicr. Myc. 363. 1838. Reported from California 
by Harkness and Moore, from North Carolina by Curtis, from Massachusetts by the Boston 
Mycological Club, and from Wisconsin by Denniston. I have not seen the specimens from 
which these determinations were made. 
Russula olivacea (Schaeff.) Fries, Epicr. Myc. 356. 1838. Reported from Pennsylvania 
by McIlvaine. It is described in McIlv. Am. Fungi 197. 1900. 
Russula pulchralis Britz. Jahresb. Nat. Ver. Augsburg 28: 140. 1885. Reported from 
Maine by Miss White, but her specimens do not seem to have been preserved. 
Russula punctata Gill. Tabl. Anal. 48. 1884. Reported from, Massachusetts by the 
Boston Mycological Club. The specimens thus determined are R. Mariae Peck. Maire 
considers R. punciaia to be the same as Russula amoena Quél. It is described in MclIlv. Am. 
Fungi 204. 1900. 
Russula sororia Fries, Epicr. Myc. 359. 1838. Specimens referred to this species from 
New York by Peck and from Michigan by Kauffman are undoubtedly R. pectinaia. The 
specimens which Boudier refers to R. sororia Fries in Ic. Myc. 1: 23. 1911, and figures in his 
plate 45, seem also to be R. pectinata. 
Russula vesca Fries, Epicr. Myc. 352. 1838. The specimens reported from New York 
by Peck are undoubtedly R. variata Banning & Peck. Kauffman has reported some doubtful 
collections in Michigan. It is described by Kauffman in Rep. Mich. Acad. Sci. 11: 74. 1909; 
also in MclIlv. Am. Fungi 198. 1902. 
Russula viridipes Banning & Peck; Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State Mus. 44: 184. 1891. 
There seem to be no specimens of this species preserved. Colored drawings of it appear in Miss 
Banning’s notes which are deposited in the herbarium at Albany. ‘The color of the spores is 
not mentioned in the description. Since there are no type specimens and no further collections 
have been made, it seems best to leave this in doubt. 
Russula vitellina (Pers.) Fries, Epicr. Myc. 363. 1838. Reported from West Virginia, 
Pennsylvania, and New Jersey by McIlvaine. A description is found in Mcllv. Am. Fungi 
212, 1900.
