horn-colour, glabrous; stem about 2 inches high, of the same colour as the pileus, 
glabrous, 14 line thick. Brisbane (Е. М. Bailey, по. 256). 
100. AGARICUS ($ PLEUROTUS) SORDULENTUS, Berk. & Broome.  Pileo orbiculari sub- 
reniformi sordide albo primum hirsutulo dein glabrescente, stipite obsoleto vel vertice 
affixo, lamellis albis ventricosis. 
Pileus 3 to 11 inch across, margin incurved; at first resembling Agaricus mollis, but ` 
in reality very different, both in the absence of a stem and in the clothing of the pileus 
and colour of the gills. The spores were either in bad condition or uncertain in their 
appearance. Brisbane (F. М. Bailey, no. 292). 
101. AGARICUS (S PLEUROTUS) SEMILIBER, Berk. © Broome. Candidus, pileo semiadhe- 
rente sericeo, lamellis tenuibus decolorantibus. 
This species is allied to A. semisupinus, Berk. & Broome, but without the central column 
to which the gills are attached. The pileus is woolly, pallid yellow, when dry attached 
by a very short lateral stem ; besides the coarse woolly clothing of the pileus, it is beset 
with slender, erect, hyaline hairs; gills moderately close, rather broad and rough, with 
granules especially at their edge; spores ovate, smooth, about 00003 inch long. Bris- 
bane (Е. M. Bailey, no. 159).

103. Agaricus ($ FLAMMULA) BAILEYI, Berk. с Broome, n.sp. Aurantiacus, pileo primum 
e campanulato hemisphzrico demum expanso lanato, adulto particulis furfuraceis 
sparso, margine inflexo; stipite brevi жапай primum floccoso; lamellis distantibus 
dente adnatis. 
Pileus at first conical and ochraceo-rufous, then hemispherical and dark brown sprinkled 
over with reddish-yellow scales and expanded, the margin incurved ; gills rather distant, 
branched halfway up, same colour as the pileus; stem curved, equal, at length dark 
brown, at first ochraceous, sprinkled, like the pileus, with reddish furfuraceous scales. 
Pileus from two lines when young to 2 inch across; stem 5 to 7 lines high. Growing in 
a ceespitose manner on rotten wood. Brisbane (F. М. Bailey, no. 189).

106. AGARICUS ($ PsALLIOTA) vERsIPEs, Berk. & Broome.  Pileo amplissimo medio 
depresso lento albo, stipite floccoso farcto, basi attenuata, annulo amplo; lamellis 
ex albo salmonicoloribus liberis basi fasciculatis. 
At the roots of bamboos in the Botanic Garden, Brisbane. РПечз 5 to 8 inches across, 
white, smooth, like chamois leather; gills at first white, changing to pale salmon-colour, 
fasciculate at the base (F. М. Bailey), a character not very visible in the dried specimen ; 
spores pale, 0:0003 to 0:0004 inch across. A single individual occurred in the same 
locality which does not agree in the floccose contents of the stem, which is very laccate at 
the base. Mr. Bailey, however, did not consider it distinct ; he also says that the large
