66 RARE OR NEW BRITISH HYMENOCETAL FUNGI. 
Agaricus (Flammula) f/iceus, n. s.; pileo carnoso, convexo-plano, 
subtiliter flocculoso-squamuloso ; stipite farcto, æquali, gracili; cortina 
fibrilloso-appendiculata, rubescente ; lamellis confertis, adnatis, sulphu- 
reis, dein fulvo-cinnamomeis. (Plate III. fig. 1. 
Pileus 1-2 inches, fleshy, obtusely convex, at length plane, golden- 
yellow, minutely floccoso-squamulose. Stem 14-21 inches, stuffed, 
equal, slender, yellowish. Veil adhering to the stem and the margin 
of the pileus in reddish fugacious threads. Gills crowded, adnate, of a 
sulphury-yellow, becoming of the colour of the pileus, and ultimately 
tawny cinnamon.—On old tree-fern stems. Cæspitose. A handsome 
species. : 
This plant belongs to the section Sapinei of Fries, but its claim to be 
considered British may be challenged. It occurred several times during 
last summer, on dead Fern stems, in the conservatory at Holly Lodge, 
Highgate, always near the summit of the stem, and proceeding from the 
bases of fronds grown in this country, never appearing on the lower 
and older growth. It is nevertheless interesting on account of its dif- . 3 
fering from its congeners, in not growing on Conifers, and hitherto un- 
described. 
AcanIcUs (Hypholoma) Janaripes, n. s. ; pileo subcarnoso, campa- 
nulato-expanso, hygrophano, squamis superficialibus secedentibus floc- - 
cosis adsperso ; stipite cavo, fragili, subfibrilloso, albo, basi tomentoso ; 
lamellis confertis, adnexis, non ventricosis, ex albido fusco-purpureis. 
(Plate IIT. fig. 2.) 
Pileus 11-3 inches, rather fleshy, margin thin, campanulate ex- 
panded, hygrophanous, squamose, with superficial scales arising from 
the breaking up of the cuticle, pallid, disk often tawny or brownish, 
margin purplish, with a shade of pink derived from the dark gills be- 
neath. Veil attached in fugacious patches ; the whole plant becoming 
of a dark-brown in decay. Stem 2-3 inches, hollow, fragile, subfibril- 
lose, white, with radiating white hairs at the base (which are some- 
times almost obsolete). Gills reaching the stem, not ventricose, - : 
crowded, whitish, changing to purplish-brown. 
Subcespitose. Found growing in a conservatory, where it was v 
common, sometimes about the stems of plants in tubs, sometimes from 
the inner sides of the tubs themselves, and sometimes apparently from 
the soil. Occasionally rooting, when the hairs at the base were 
absent. Highgate, 1862,
