The genus Annularia, founded by Schulzer von Miiggenberg in 
1866, is remarkable for the size and elegance of the species included. 
It is morphologically, the exact counterpart of Lepiota, in the 
Leucosporeae, and is characterised by having free, flesh-coloured or 
salmon-coloured gills, and a fixed ring or annulus. A. Burkillae is 
most nearly allied to A. insignis, Cke. & Mass., which differs in the 
scaly cap and ring, and smaller spores.

concolor, 4 cm. longus. Lamellae confertae, adnatae, ventricosae,

tinctae, 6 x :
