DISTINGUISHING FIELD-MARKS : The blue-black color of young 
or wet plants, the minute size, the hirsute-downy covering of the 
pileus, and the distinct zonation in the mature pileus. The species 
is gregarious in habit and is sometimes cespitose. As тапу as | 
35 were found in the type collection growing in an area of less | 
than one square foot. Asa rule, the stem is so short that the | 
pileus rests upon the ground, and the plants can be detected only | 
by careful search. Type specimens of this species are in the her- | 
barium of the N. Y. Botanical Garden and іп the herbarium of the |
