140. A. gambosus, Fr. Syst. Myc. 1. p. 50. Common in 
exposed pastures in May and June. A. graveolens, Sow., 
which has been long doubtful, is certainly a synonym of the 
species before me, as appears from the original drawing, dated 
May 10, which gives the colouring very correctly. In the 
plate, unfortunately, one uniform ochraceous tint is given, 
which ought to have been confined to the centre of the pileus. 
This, or some nearly allied species, is the St. George’s Agaric 
of Clusius, Hist. p. 264. Dr. Johnston’s A. graveolens is pro- 
bably some species of the same group.

143. A. Bellie, Johnst. MSS.  Pileo sicco, membranaceo, 
cupulzeformi, ligneo-pallido, lamellis crassis una cum inter- 
stitiis venosis, decurrentibus, pallidioribus; stipite tenui, fistu- 
loso, cartilagineo, supra pallido, deorsum brunneo, basi floccosa 
adhzrente. On dead stems of the common reed. Gathered 
by Lord Home, October 6, 1837, at the Hirsel, Berwickshire. 
Pileus membranaceous, inverted, deeply cyathiform, half an — 
inch broad, smooth, waved and furrowed at the edges, of a 
wood-brown hue, becoming paler when dry. Gills adnato- 
decurrent, at least in the inverted pileus, one line broad, 
rather distant, thick, more or less undulated, wrinkled on the 
sides and in the interstices with flexuous veins, once or twice 
divided near the edge, of a dull chalky white. Spores oblong, 
colourless, pellucid. Stem 13 inch high, about 1 line thick, 
fistular throughout, erect, stiff and elastic, smooth, white or 
very pale wood-brown above, towards the base of a dirty dark 
brown, becoming paler when dry, when it appears covered 
with a white mealiness. It is composed of two distinct strata, 
as will be seen by the figure. Root slightly incrassated, bent 
and fixed to the matrix by a dense cottony web. 
A very remarkable and graceful species. The inversion of 
the pileus commences at a very early period, and together 
with the yein-like gills, gives it somewhat the appearance of a 
Stylobates, in which genus the pileus is completely obliterated. 
Its place in the system is near that of A. tricolor, A. &S., 
A. stellatus, Sow., &c., but its immediate affinities are not evi- 
dent. It has analogies with several Collybie and the cognate 
species of Marasmius, as M. erythropus, Fr. The gills are 
‘very: peculiar. 
‘The above account is in great measure compiled from some 
notes kindly transmitted to me, together with a figure, by Dr. 
Johnston, who has named the species “in grateful remem- 
brance of the assistance he has received from the Misses Bell
