LACTARIAE OF THE UNITED STATES 29 
DOUBTFUL SPECIES 
LACTARIA PLUMBEA (Bull.) Fr. Epicr. 339. 1838. [As Lactarius. | 
— Schróter in Cohn, Krypt.-Fl. Schles. 3: 536. 1889. 
This species has been reported from New York by Peck ; from 
Wisconsin by Bundy. Тһе specimens referred to Lactaria plum- 
bea by Peck differ from the typical form in color and in the pres- 
ence of a tomentum in the fresh condition. It seems to me doubt- 
ful whether the New York specimens represent this species. They 
appear much like Z. glyciosma but have no odor. Bundy’s speci- 
mens are not preserved. The species is described in the Ann. 
Rep. N. Y. St. Mus. 38: 127. 1885. A good figure of it may 
be found in Вапа, Champ. Nice, //. 27. f. 1-5. Itis regarded as 
poisonous. 
LACTARIA FLEXUOSA (Fr.) Fr. Epicr. 338. 1838. [As Lactarius. | 
— Schrót. in Cohn, Krypt.-Fl. Schles. 3: 536. 1889 
This European species has been reported from North Carolina 
by Schweinitz, from Vermont by Frost and by Burlingham. The 
specimens which I assigned to this species do not correspond 
closely enough to specimens which I have since received from 
Romell, to justify citing them as this species. The Frost and 
Schweinitz specimens are not "preserved. Тһе species is well fig- 
ured by Cooke, Br. Fungi, AJ. 992.

Piperatae, and the pileus viscid when wet ; margin of the pileus in-
