214 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 
slightly wrinkled hymenium. As in the otherwise very different 
Т. caryophyllea, large specimens sometimes resemble a double 
flower from the great number of small pileoli and lobes present 
in the center. Schweinitz described the species as sometimes 
having dimidiate pilei, but I have seen no such specimens. My 
collection assumed a disagreeable odor in drying but no such 
odor has been noted by others. 
Specimens examined: 
Exsiccati: Ell. & Ev., N. Am. Fungi, 1110, and Fun. Col., 1598, 
in both under the name 7’. caespitulans. 
Vermont: Lake Dunmore, Е. A. Burt. 
New Jersey: Newfield, J. B. Ellis (in Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb., 
5155), also in the exsiccati cited. 
Pennsylvania: Bethlehem, Schweinitz, type (іп Herb. Sehw.); 
Michener, 1504 (in Curtis Herb. and in Kew Herb.), the 
собуре and type respectively of Т. tephroleuca; Trexlertown, 
W. Herbst, 43, C. G. Lloyd and W. Herbst, 2866, 3088 
(both in Lloyd Herb.) ; N. M. Glatfelter (in Mo. Bot. Gard. 
Herb., 42561). 
Dist. of Columbia: Washington, F. J. Braendle, comm. by C. H. 
Peck. 
North Carolina: G. Ғ. Atkinson (in Cornell Univ. Herb., 23253); 
Asheville, H. C. Beardslee; Schweinitz cited North Caro- 
lina as a station. 
South Carolina: Caesar's Head, Ravenel, one of the types (in 
Curtis Herb. and Kew Herb.) of T. tephroleuca. 
Ohio: C. G. Lloyd, 4000.

Pileus sessile or with very short stem, coriaceous, spongy when 
dry, uniformly cinnamon-buff or with the older portions chest- 
nut-brown, sometimes assuming mesopod form when encircling 
small twigs or shrubs, sometimes effuso-reflexed, usually dimidi-
