The first species (of the twenty-one) enumerated by Gray is 

 Nemania deusta. It is also the first of the species listed 

 which is accompanied by a plate citation. Taken as a whole the 

 generic name Nemania lias no more congeneric alignment than 

 Gray's genera Crepidopus, Micromphale and Prunulus, which have 

 recently been resurrected in the Agaricaceae. In considering these 

 generic names of Gray perhaps no safer method can be followed, 

 where they are to be taken up because of their priority, than to 

 adopt the first species enumerated as the type.
