before the publication of his supplement, it cannot: be 
doubted but the plants are the same. Bulliard’s plate 
232 agrees, except that the pileus is described as downy, ’ 
_and the stem is longitudinally striated; but as from its — 
woody substance it shrinks. and somewhat twists in dry- 
ing, this appearance in the figure may be occasioned by 
that circumstance. Mr, Woopwaro.

sent me by Mr. Stackhouse, but without a place of growth.
