3. Rhizopogon suavis Quelet, Grev. 8:116. 1880; Assoc. 
Fr. Av. Sci. 12: 508. 1883 (often cited as Champ. du Jura et 
des Vosges, Supplement 12 : 11. 1883) ; DeToni in Sace. Syll. 
Fung. 7 : 163. 1888. 
Illustrations: Quelet, Grev. 8: pl. 131. f. 3; Assoc. Fr. Av. 
Sei. 12 : pl. 7. f. 1 (Champ. du Jura et des Vosges, Suppl. 12: 
si. ?. f 4). 
Oblong, bullate, 1 ст. in diameter, tomentose, pale yellow 
(changing to brown when exposed to the air), adhering to 
chestnut-coloured fibres, which terminate in an arachnoid 
net; substance compact, elastic, hyaline, then olive, giving 
out a delicate odour of honey; cells rounded, with thin, white, 
silky walls; spores (5-7 on each basidium) pruniform, 5-7 и, 
ochraceous, with two nuclei. 
Summer. Woods on the lower hills of the Jura. 
In the original description the diameter is given ав“ (.0—.01 
mm.)," evidently a mistake, as the French version three years 
later gives it as “От, 01,” i. e., 1 em. The original gives the 
spores as ‘‘(.0005-.7 mm.)," the French as ‘‘(0"™, 005-7)” 
now usually written ‘5-7 p.” 
O. Jaap distributed as ‘Flora der Provinz Brandenburg, 
9,” under the name of Rhizopogon virens (A. & Schw.) from 
Triglitz i. d. Prignitz. This, however, is not R. virens as 
usually understood by European authors, and may be referred 
to R. suavis Quel, but we have seen no authentic material.
