This is a very distinct and very beautiful species. Mr. 
Ravenel remarks in his notes that “this plant is not infested 
by larve and preserves more constant characters than any 
other Boletus with which I am acquainted.” The webby 
powdered filaments constitute a universal veil which at first 
covers the whole plant and conceals the young tubes. As 
the pileus expands, this generally disappears from the disk, 
and, separating between the margin and the stem, a part 
adheres to each. ‘The flesh is sometimes stained with yel- 
low. The tubes in some instances become convex and 
slightly depressed around the stem. They are almost white 
when young, and often exhibit brownish hues where 
wounded. ‘The plant is sometimes cespitose.. I have ob- 
served a greenish tint to the freshly shed spores, but it soon 
‘disappears. Boletus subchromeus Frost Ms. is this species.

This is evidently a rare species and as beautiful as it is 
rare. The whole plant is bright-yellow except the tube 
mouths, and is sprinkled with yellow dust or minute yellow 
branny particles. In the New York specimen the scarlet
