■^A. Terreii B. & Br. — Pileus 2.5-5 cent. (1-2 in.) broad, bright 

 tawny, somewhat hemispherical, pulverulent, roughened with 

 minute warts. Stem somewhat equal, often cylindrical, adorned 

 below the ring with furfuraceous scales of the same colour as the

It approaches A. gra?iulosus on one side and A. arutesquamosus on the 

 other, but is nearer to the latter than the former. The spores of A. grafitdosus 

 are slightly larger, those oi A. acutes'quamosus are rather longer, and at the 

 same time narrower.

39. A. granulosus Batsch. — Pileus 5 cent. (2 in.) broad, ferrugi- 

 nous or brown-rufous becomi7ig pale-hoary wheti dry, fleshy, con- 

 vex then flattened, obtusely umbonate, furfuraceo-granular, here

 in.) long, 4-6 mm. (2-3 lin.) thick, stuffed-hollow, somewhat equal, 

 minutely squamulose. Gills slightly adnexed, white. 



Singular among LepiotcB. The covering, which is scaly on the stem as far as 

 the ring, but granulose on the pileus, represents a universal veil, at the first 

 wholly continuous. The colour of the stem is more rarely violaceous.
