' Ag. (Clttoctbe) ochropurpueeus: pileo subhemispherico, demum de- 

 presso, carnoso, compacto, lento, pallide alutaceo, leviter purpurascenti; cute 

 facile secernibili; margine inflexo primum tomentoso; mycelio albo; stipite 

 pallidiore, hie illic purpurascente, medio tumido ; lamellis crassis, non connexis, 

 purpureis, postice latioribus, decurrentibus. £erk. in Hook., Lond. Journ. Bat. iv. 

 p. 299. Pileus two inches across. Stem two and a-half inches high, three quar- 

 ters of an inch thick in the centre, solid, above deflexo squamosa, occasionally 



equal. This species resembles in most jyoints .^g.iyrianthinus ; but the gills 



are thick and distinct, resembling those o[ Ag. laccatus, and the mycelium (at 

 least in the dry plant) is white. The spores when dry are of a palish yellow, 

 but Mr. Lea in his notes describes them from the plant when gathered as white. 



^ The Rev. M. A. Curtis finds this species in North Carolina. 



3 The amethyst-colored variety also occurs, as at Waynesville, Sept. 3, 1841.
