APPENDIX (Boletus). 



The descriptions of the following species are scarcely sufficient to 

 permit of the satisfactory reference of the species to their places in the 

 tribes. It is to be hoped that these plants may again be found and 

 their proper relations be ascertained. 



B. Ana'nas Curt. Pileus pulvinate, thickly and rigidly floccose-ver- 

 rucose, yellow, flocci white above, flesh-colored beneath, the margin 

 thin, membranous, lacerated; hymenium plane, depressed around the 

 stem, yellow or tawny-yellow, becoming greenish where wounded, their 

 mouths medium size, obtusely angular. Stem even, solid, somewhat 

 enlarged at the base, white. Spores ferruginous. 



Pileus 3-4 in. broad. Stem 3-4 in. long, 6-9 lines thick. 



Under prostrate trunks of pine trees. 



South Carolina, Ravenel; North Carolina, Curtis. 



This is said to approach S. strobilaceus in habitat, but to be other- 

 wise very different. It is placed among the Subtomentosi in Sylloge, 

 but from these it recedes by its floccose wart-like scales. Peck, Boleti 

 of the U. S. 



B. radico'sus Bundy. Pileus thin, wide, recurved, yellow tinged 

 with brown, the cuticle easily removed. Flesh pale-yellowish tinged 

 with pink, not changing color when bruised. Tubes decurrent, large, 

 uneven-mouthed, compound, angular, tinged with brown. Stem flexu- 

 ous, yellow above, whitish below, rough with dark appressed scales, 

 fibrous-rooted. 



Pileus 4 in- broad. Stem 3-4 in. long, 5 lines thick.
