Agazicus (Eccilia) flosculus. Smith Journ. But. 1875,^.97,^.161, 



/. 4 9. 



Pileus sub-membranaceous, pruinoso-crystalline, deeply umbilicate

On the ground at the foot of and upon the stems of tree ferns 

 (Dicksonia antarctica) at Messrs. Veitch's Nursery, Chelsea, June, 

 1870. Allied to the next, but a very different plant, the dark- 

 brown trama and external pruinose-crystalline stratum are cha- 

 racteristic. 



This species doubtless is not tmly British, nor can the next be 

 scarcely regarded as such.
