r OUND in qrcar j)lcnt\- in tlic bark-hcds of hot- 

 jiouies about London in the year 1785. The Rev. Mi. 

 Relhan, lb Avell know n by his Flora Cantabri^icnfis^ dil- 

 covered it in Dr. Harwood's bark-bed at Caml)ri(lge lall 

 year 1794, and, confidcring it as a great curioiity, very- 

 kindly favoured me with fpecimens. The fame year I 

 met with it growing in a lane at Peckham, inclining 

 to the appearance of Bidliard's A. va^inatus. On the 

 2ift of Augull 1795 J found in Earl Spencer's park at 

 Wimbledon a fpecimen refembling that figure which 

 is jurt difengaging itfelf from the vo/va, but four times 

 as large, with a lighter coloured pileus, but gills cor- 

 refponding in colour to thefe ; it giew on a very 

 rotten Itump of a Lime-tree.

rSOT uncommon in bark-beds about London, moftly 

 found of a chalk\' white, efpecially when in a half di y 

 llate, to which Bulliard's name alludes. At Sir A. I lume's 

 at Wormley-bury in 1793 I obfcrvcd the bark-bed full 

 of it, all perfe(flly > cllow, agreeing with Dr. VVithcr- 

 ing's denomination. As the white and yellow kinds 

 differ in nothing but colour, and are undoubtedly the 

 fame fpecieb, I have named it from the form of the 

 Italk (like that of an onion) which will always charac- 

 terize this fjiccics.
