SYSTEMATIC AND FLORISTIC NOTES 

 ON THE SPECIES. 



I. EU-LEPIOTA. 



A. PROCERÆ 



a. MACROSPORÆ. 



1. L. procera (Scop.). 



Spores 14—18 x 9-11 u (or 12—16 x 8 x / 2 — 10 u). 



Fig. specimens: Hæsbjerg, grassy slope, open space in wood 

 of Fagus, Oct. 1899. — Not very common, generally solitary, in 

 open spaces in or just outside foliaceous woods. 



2. L. umbonata ( Schum.) (forma major). (? L. dolichaula B. et Br.). 



Spores oval, 12— 16 1 /., x 7 1 /»— 9 1 /« H- 



Fig. specim.: Slipshavn near Nyborg, open space outside folia- 

 ceous wood, Sept. 1905. — Not common, in grassy places in 

 coniferous and foliaceous woods, on hill-slopes etc. 



Of the various names for slender and umbonate fungi of the 

 jDrocertr-type, I have chosen the above, proposed by the eminent 

 Danish mycologist (Enumeratio plantarum Sælland., 1801 — 03). 

 My plant is however somewhat larger than he figures it. L. 

 dolichaula B. et Br. (from India) appears to be exactly identical 

 with my plant, but there is hardly a specific difference between 

 L. d. and L. umb. — Several other intermediate forms seem to 

 connect it with L. procera, f. inst. L. prominens Fr. and L. per- 

 mixta Barla from Southern France, and L. gracilenta Krombh. 

 — The leading characters of my plant are: the rather acute 

 umbo, the pallid ochraceous or pale crust-brown cap, the thin 

 cuticle of which is minutely granulate-squamulose, and the ring, 

 which is smaller than in L. procera, but equally persistent. The 

 stem is whitish, very minutely squamulose. 



3. L. excoriata (Schaeff.). 



Spores oval, 12 — 16 x 8 — 10 (a. — Cvslidia obtusely fusiform, 

 50 x 10 u (1914). 



Fig. specim. : Torning near Silkeborg, sandy stubble-field, Sept. 

 1897. — Rather common, in grass- and cornfields on light and 

 sandy ground, often very numerous.
