ANNULATED BOLETUS* 



TAB. CLXIX. 



THE root is large, and covered with a gray mould ; it emits. 

 Ions: foft fibres. 



*e> 



The ftem is upright, round, and folid ; brown near the bafe,. 

 yellow in the upper part. 



The curtain, in the fpecimen before me, is white, of a tender 

 delicate fubftance, originating near the top of the ftem, and ex- 

 tended to the rim of the pileus. In the fpecimen I now defcribe,. 

 the curtain is fallen to pieces, in the time of drawing the figure, 

 and hangs in fragments, exactly as reprefented in the larger fpe- 

 cimen.. 



The tubes are cylindrical and yellow ; the pores round, and 

 of the fame colour, much fmaller than the pores of the common, 

 yellow Boletus, 



The pileus is convex, of a golden or orange colour, darkeft in 

 the centre ; the rim even and acute ; the furface, efpecially in- 

 moift weather, covered with a flippery glutin. The internal fub- 

 ftance firm, and of a pale yellow colour. 



This plant grew in plenty in the wood o.ppofite Burks-Hall, in 



Anguft, 1760. 1 think it a diftincl: fpecies from the large 



figure given on my eighty-fourth plate, for the Boletus luteus^, 

 Linn, though I thought them the fame at that time.
