There are but two specimens of this species, and they have not been very successfully 
dried. Тһе margin of the pileus can hardly be called hairy ; but in all other respects the 
plant agrees with Z. glabratus.

I think there is no doubt about the species, although the single specimen gathered by 
Mr. Kurz varies from the type in some particulars. Тһе gills are somewhat narrower, 
and the warts and the brown pubescence of the pileus have rubbed off in drying; but there 
are dark spots all over the pileus, showing the places where the warts were attached. 
The bristles have disappeared, except here and there at а short distance from the margin, 
Where they are still plainly visible under a lens, and the transverse scales on the stem are 
not now to be seen. Тһе latter, however, like the warts, may have been rubbed off in 
drying. Mr. Berkeley has noticed that in some dried specimens a pellicle separates from 
the umbilicus, carrying the warts with it and leaving the pileus smooth.

This is a beautiful species, in many points resembling L. furfurosus, Fr., from which it 
differs in the deeply funnel-shaped pileus and in the colour of its gills. In ZL. furfurosus 
the mycelium (held together by the sand in which it grows) forms an indurated tuberi- 
form root. In the specimens of the present species the stipes has the appearance of 
having been broken off in gathering; so that it is not improbable that a tuberoid radix 
may be present in the perfect state, which would bring the plant still nearer to Z. fur- 
furosus, Fr. The colour of the gills varies from a bright rust-colour to a greyish brown, 
according to the incidence of the light under which they are examined.

tricis ornato; stipite versus basin attenuato; lamellis substipatis, decurrentibus, 
(siccis) brunneis.—Pegu. No. 2624. No special locality is given. 
* In the specimens of this species the stems have been broken off short in gathering, so that there is no tuberiform 
radix, and the gills are too dark-coloured to be described as “ flavidis ;” but the plant comes so near in other respects 
to L. furfurosus, Fr., that I do not venture to propose it as a new species.
