fectly obtuse or very slightly conical, dry, smooth, dark red-brown, 
almost lateritious, becoming tan-coloured as it dries, thin, but not 
membranaceous ; margin ‘slightly striate, sometimes reflected. Stem 
lj inch high, 11 line thick, rather incrassated at the base, reddish- 
brown, furnished with a short spongy ring above the middle, which is 
at length evanescent. Gills cinnamon, ascending, adnate, rather dis- 
tant; margin white. Spores subelliptic, 44,55 of an inch long. 
Not so slender a species as 4. temulentus, with which it is nearly 
allied, and distinguished by its. ring and other marks. The specific 
name has the same import as that of Allium descendens. 
382. 4. (Galera) vinolentus, n. s.; pileo campanulato vinoso-fulvo 
expallente, margine striato; stipite elongato deorsum incrassato lamel-

paler than the stem. Spores tawny, 3345 of an inch long.

Pileus 43 inches broad, convex, expanded, with an obtuse well- 
marked umbo, fleshy, clothed with shaggy scales, dry, of a pale, dul 
tawny. Stem 51 inches high, about 3 an inch thick in the centre, at- — 
tenuated upward, swelling into a broad abrupt bulb below, 2 inches or — 
more thick, tawny and scaly like the pileus, with some vinous blotches — 
at the base, hollow. Gills attenuated behind, nearly free, at length 
dark purple-brown. Odour sweet; whole plant brittle.
