106 DECADES OF FUNGI. 
Has. In pine-woods. Sikkim, 11,000 feet. 
I cannot quite satisfy myself about this species, of which only a single 
specimen has been preserved. The drawing represents it as hemisphe- 
rical, very slightly umbilicate, even, moderately fleshy, of a lilac-blue. 
Stem shining, darker than the pileus, fistulose, with a darker-coloured 
cartilaginous coat. Gills pale lilac, inclining to pink, broad and ven- 
tricose in front, attenuated behind, and adnexed, but scarcely adnate. 
Spores 441. of an inch in length, obovate, nearly regular, with a large 
nucleus. Smell scarcely any. 
It certainly comes nearer to 4. Lazulinus than any other species, but 
in the absence of information as to the primitive colour of the gills, I 
can neither be quite certain as td its identity nor warranted in propos- 
ing it as new. 
379. 4. (Flammula) phlegmaticus, n. s.; fragilis; pileo carnoso ex- 
panso pallide umbrino viscosissimo, carne umbrina ; stipite incurvo oon

attenuatis. Hook. fil., Ser. 2, No. 21.

Inodorous. Pileus two inches across, extremely viscid, shining, 
brittle, carnese, plane, sometimes depressed without any trace of an 
umbo, sometimes broadly umbonate; flesh of the same colour as the 
pileus. Stem incurved, 2 inches or more high, darker below, slightly 
fibrillose, not scaly, hollow, yellow within. Gills moderately broad, 
adnate, slightly rounded behind and ending in a little point or slightly 
attenuated. Spores subelliptie, about 41... of an inch long. 
This is nearly allied to 4. Jentus, but differs in many characters from 
that and the species which follow it in the ‘ Epicrisis” It is not tough, 
and has not a scaly stem like 4. lentus, in which latter character it 
differs from 4. mixtus. The flesh is not white as in À. lubricus and À. 
lupinus, and other characters might be adduced of more or less import- 
ance. As to its affinities there is no doubt.

Has. In pine-woods. Sikkim, 11,000 feet. 
The specimens accord in colour, in the nature of the gills, and in 
general habit, though somewhat smaller than Schzeffer’s figure; at any 
rate their affinity is very close. Dry, inodorous, rather fine. Pileus 
slightly umbonate ; flesh yellow like the pileus, with a tawny tinge near 
to the cuticle. Stem at length hollow, yellow, then brownish, with
