SPECIES NOT BEFORE REPORTED 



Aecidium importatum llcnn. 

 Living leaves of peltandra, Peltanclra virgin ica (L.) 

 Kunth. West Nyack, Rockland co. June 1907. E. P. Felt. June 

 1908. C. H. Peck. The species is peculiar in developing only on 

 the midirib and on the basal part of the principal veins. It occurs 

 chiefly on the lower surface, but sometimes sparingly on the upper 

 surface also. 



Amanita glabriceps n. sp. . 



PLATE U, FIG. 1-4 



Pileus thin, ovate or oval becommg broadly convex or centrally 

 depressed, glabrous, rarely adorned when young with a few patches 

 of the ruptured volva, viscid when moist, often finely striate on 

 the margin, white or yellowish white, sometimes slightly brownish 

 in the center, flesh white under the separable cuticle ; lamellae thin, 

 crowded, free, unequal, white; stem long, slender, stuffed, glabrous 

 or floccose-squamulose, bulbous, white, the thin flabby annulus 

 sometimes ruptured and partly adhering to the margin of the 

 pilens, sometimes disappearing with age, the bulb margined by the 

 remains of the definitely circumscissile volva; spores globose, 

 .0003 of an inch in diameter. 



Pileus 2-4 inches broad; stem 3-6 inches long, 3-6 lines thick.

This species is closely related to Amanita p h a 1 1 o i d e s Fr. 

 from which it is separated by its more slender habit, its thinner 

 pileus with the margin often striate, its longer slender stem with 

 a webby pith and a more narrow bulb margined by the remains 

 of the more definitely circumscissile volva. Amanita phal- 

 loides striatula Pk. [N. Y. State Mus. Bui. 54, p. 961] is 

 a small variety of this species rather than of A . p h a 1 1 o i d e s . 



Pileus tenuis, ovatus vel ovalis, mox convexus vel centro de>- 

 pressus, glaber, juventate volvae ruptae fragmentis rare ornatus, 

 viscidus, margine saepe striatus, albus flavidoalbusve, aliquando 

 centro leviter fuscus, carne sub cute separabile alba ; lamellae ten- 

 ues. confertae, liberae, inaequales, albae; stipes gracilis, elongatus, 

 farctus, glaber vel floccoso-squamulosus, bulbosus, albus, annulo 

 tenui, aliquando rupto et partim adhaerente ad marginem pilei.
