This is a Linnzan species, but I omit the character in the 
Fl. Suec. as it is evident. that the author had confounded two 
different plants together. In the Sp, pl. ed. 3. the erroneous 
part of the reference to Vaill. Par. is thrown out, but the whole 
of the error isnot yet removed. | 
Ray Spx. 9. 44, has been supposed to be this plant, but the 
conical pileus does not justify that opinion.

. This species I believe was first found in England about 3 
years ago, by Mr. Knapp, who then sent me an account of it, 
observing that it gave a greasy appearance to the paper in which 
he had preserved it. On making further enquiries concerning 
it, he favoured me in March last with a drawing made from 
__ his dried specimen, and also the following observations—Gil/s 
ite. Pileus nearly flat, of a nut colour, with an extremely 
woolliness. Stem tawny, rather scored, not hollow. Mr. 
Kwarp.—I imagine it is a rare plant, as Mr. Knapp has not 
found it since, though its size and the length of its stem, as well 
as the elegance of its appearance, render it sufficiently observable. 
A single specimen wag gathered in this neighbourhood, and 
brought to me this morning.
