Scheffer in pl, 121, has figured another plant with a smooth 
pileus, which he thinks is the same, and calls them both B. 
evinus. Onaccount of the uncertainty of their identity, I have 
thought it better to give it a new name; to say nothing of the 
futility of the old one. This species is subject to be over-run
