36 THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF. THE 
regard the stations near Jamesville as one locality there are now three 
localities in the State where this fern is known to grow. 
Botrychium Lunaria, Sw. A new station for this rare fern has been 
discovered near Syracuse, and specimens have been contributed by 
Mrs. H. 8. Gifford. 
Chara foetida var. longibracteata, 4. Br. This interesting variety of 
our common chara occurs in pools by the side of the railroad at Ve- 
rona. 
Chara fragilis, Désv. This and the preceding species abound in the 
**Green Lakes” of Onondaga county. On account of the clearness of 
the water, the plants are seen at a great depth and they give the green - 
appearance that suggests the popular name of the lakes, 
Fissidens grandifrons, Brid. Rivulets near Jamesville, but as usual 
the moss is sterile. 
Cladonia papillaria, Hoffm. Sterile soil. Ballston. July. 
Agaricus melleus, Vahl. ‘This extremely variable species sometimes 
has a white pileus. — 
Agaricus virescens, P&. I find that this name is preoccupied and 
substitute for it Agaricus viriditinctus. 
Gomphidius rhodoxanthus, Schw. This plant has been thought by 
some to be the same as Pavzillus flavidus, Berk., but it does not agree 
well with the description of that species. Neither does it agree fully 
with the characters of the genus Gomphidius. I do not find the pileus 
viscid, nor the lamellx forked, though they are venose-connected. 
They do not readily separate from the pileus as in Paxillus. 
Russula virescens, /’r. According to the description of this species 
the margin of the pileus should be even, but specimens sometimes 
occur in which the margin is wholly or partly striate. The number 
of forked and intermediate lamellz is also variable and the warts are 
sometimes pale-brown instead of green. ‘The color of the pileus is 
generally grayish-green but it is frequently tinged with yellow. 
Panus stipticus, Bull. This usually occurs on trunks of deciduous 
trees, but occasionally it is found on hemlock trunks. 
Lenzites betulina, #r. Specimens of this species have been found on 
hemlock trunks. Senzites vialis also occurs both on frondose and 
acerose trees, so that the division of the genus into two sections 
depending on the character of the habitat is scarcely reliable. 
Polyporus igniarius, /r. One specimen was found about one foot 
broad and having seventeen strata of pores, thus indicating an age of 
seventeen years. 
Polyporus pergamenus, Yr. The typical form of this species, accord- 
ing to the description, has the pileus coriaceo-membranaceus, rigid, 
tomentose, concentrically sulcate, white; the pores seriately placed, 
pallescent and produced into very thin dentate plates. Its habitat is 
said to be pine, and its locality Arctic America. 'The species, as now 
understood, proves to be a very common and very variable one and in- 
cludes several synonyms. In Ravenel’s Fungi Car. Exsicc., Fase. 1, 
No. 13, Polyporus laceratus, Berk., is represented to be a synonym of 
this species. Dr. Berkeley himself does not give it as a distinet species 
in his Notices of North America. Stngi, though it was founded on 
specimens from New Orleans, from which we infer that he does not 
regard itas a good species. According to the description it scarcely
