REPORT OF THE BoTANITST. 117 
yellowish ; stipe nearly equal, short, firm, solid, smooth or 
pruinose, concolorous ; flesh whitish ; milk abundant, white, 
not acrid. 
Height 24’, breadth of pileus 2-4’, stipe about 6” thick. 
Common. July-September. Edible. 
6. LACTARIUS DISTANS 2. sp. 
Pileus fleshy, firm, convex or expanded, centrally depressed, 
pruinose-tomentose, yellowish-tawny, sometimes rugulose- 
wrinkled ; lamelle distant, subarcnate, connected by veins, 
white or yellowish; stipe very short, solid, firm, equal or 
tapering downward, pruinose, subconcolorous ; flesh and milk 
white, mild. 
Height 1’-2’, breadth of pileus 2’—4’. 
Grassy ground. Albany. July. 
The pileus is sometimes irregular and eccentric, and the 
cuticle often cracks into areas. The stipe scarcely exceeds 
one inch in length. Allied to LZ. hygrophoroides, of which it 
may possibly prove to be a large variety. 
7. LACTARIUS CAMPHORATUS Bull. 
Pileus thin, fleshy, convex, then expanded or depressed, 
smooth, with a very small umbo or papilla, dark bay or 
brownish-red ; lamellz rather narrow, close, a little paler than 
the pileus, sometimes tinged with yellow; stipe nearly equal, 
smooth, subconcolorous, stuffed above, hollow below, flesh 
tinged with dull red ; milk white, mild. 
Height 2’-3’, breadth of pileus 8’-18”, stipe 2’-4” thick. 
Swamps. Sandlake. August. 
I have not seen specimens with the pileus zonate. The dried 
Specimens emit an agreeable odor, like that of Cyperus in- 
Jjiexcus. In size and shape it is like Z. swhdulcis, from which it 
is distinct by its mild taste and darker color. _ Its color is like 
that of L. rufus, but that species is larger and intensely acrid. 
8. LACTARIUS SUBDULCIS Bull. 
Pileus thin, fleshy, plane or depressed, smooth, with a very 
small umbo or papilla, pale ochraceous-red, tinged with flesh- 
color ; lamellz close, more narrow toward the stipe, whitish, 
tinged with red or flesh-color; stipe nearly equal, rather 
slender, smooth, stuffed or hollow, concolorous, villous at the 
base ; flesh whitish ; milk white. 
Height 2’-3’, breadth of pileus 8’’"-15”, stipe 2’-3” thick. 
Swamps and wet places in woods and fields.
