DERMINI. 283 



yellowish-fei'rugijiotis when moist, tan when dry, somewhat mem- Naucoria. 

 branaceous, campanulate then convex, umbonate, quite smooth, 

 pellucidly striate to the umbo when moist, even when dry. Stem 

 5-7.5 cent. (2-3 in.) long-, 2 mm. (i lin.) thick, fistulose, exactly 

 equal, firm and rigid, but often flexuous, ferruginous, darker and 

 becoming fuscous towards the base, variegated up to the middle 

 with white floccose scales, above the middle \\\\o\\^ Jiaked, even, 

 paler. Gills adnate, ve7itricose, thin, somewhat dista7it, distinct, 

 at length plane, pale yellowish-ferruginous. 



Allied to Gale?'(e ; the margin of the pileus is almost straight and adpressed 

 to the stem. The gills are so ventricose that when casually inspected they 

 appear as if free. The partial veil is not evident ; but the scales on the stem 

 are without doubt the fragments of a universal veil.
