DE3CEIPTI0X OF PLATE. 

 Fii. 1-3.- CORTINARIUS (DERMOCYBE) CINKABARINUS. Fr. 



Pileus fleshy, obtuse, silky, then glabrous, of scarlet-cinnalar colour, with 

 a tibrillose veil. Stem stuffed, even, short : Gills darker, adnate, broad, svh- 

 distant. It grows in bushy places, and is by no means rare with us. The 

 stem is firm, now and then bulbous never pale yellow, by which and by its 

 brilliant appearance it differs from Gortinarius purpureus. Bull. G. cinnamomeus 

 is near it but different. Edge of gills unequal. Odour of radish. Fries 

 "Epicrisis." Edit. alt. p, 370. No. 127. 



This brUliant addition to the British Flora was first found by Mr. Eenuy 

 growing at Downton, Herefordshire, in 1872, when the crop was abundant 

 and a considerable space of ground was made almost dazzling by the brilliancy 

 of the clusters. The specimens here figured differ biit little from Fries 

 description. The gills which are very numerous, are usually of the same tint 

 or very slightly more dull then the pileus. The odour of radish, mentioned 

 by Fries, was not observed here. Specimens ha\ e been found every year 

 growing on that portion of the higher slopes of the Do^vnton grounds, since 

 named by fungologists "Eenny's Promontary." (See Woolhope Transactions).
