210 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 
T. caryophyllea may be distinguished from our other northern 
species which have a central stem and dark hymenium, by the 
thin lobes of the pileus which dry paler than the hymenium, 
and by the frequent occurrence of specimens with the pileus 
consisting of many lobes and pilei imbricately arranged in a 
manner suggestive of a double pink or carnation, as shown by 
Schaeffer's fig. 5, and Persoon's fig. 10 of the illustrations cited. 
Our specimens agree well with the figures of Schaeffer and Per- 
soon—those of Persoon are especially good but unfortunately 
occur in a work which is very rare. 
We find occasionally specimens which agree well with T. 
radiata (Holmsk.) Fr., but these specimens are connected so 
closely by intermediate forms—often in the same collection— 
with others which are undoubtedly T. caryophyllea that I refer 
them to the latter species.
