It has somewhat the general appearance of C. distans Pk., bul i- 

 much stouter ami its larger gills arc less distant, Bpores — 1 i *_r 1 1 1 1 \ 

 longer and universal veil different, it is evidenl that European an 

 thors have confused different species under this name, ami hence it 

 seemed advisable to describe the plants from the collecting grounds 

 of Fries. Other collections from Sweden have the same Bpores as 

 mine. Cooke's figure l 111., PI. 868) illustrates the plant well when it 

 is fresh, bui his spore-size is wrong. Britzelmayr (Bot. Centralb., 



Vol. 51, p. -"'7 1 reports two species ander this name, oi C them with 



the spores in the sense <d' Cooke. Ricken has also described a dif- 

 ferent species as shown by the spores I Blatterpilze, p. I 71 i. Quelet's 

 figure I < irevillea. PI. 11:'.. Fig. 2 | does not show the plant well either 

 as To color or veil. Saccardo ami Schroeter have given the Bpore 

 size approximately correct if we may assume that the Swedish plant 

 is the proper starting point lot- a revision.
