dotted, lemon-yellow, darker toward the base ; spores .0006 
to .0008 in. long, .00025 broad. 
Pileus 2.5 in. broad ; stem 3 to 4 in. long, 5 to 6 lines thick. 
Mixed woods. North Carolina, C. /. Curézs. 
The description here given has been derived from a single 
dried specimen and from the notes kindly sent by Mr. Cur- 
tis. The species is apparently well marked and very distinct 
by the peculiar reticulations of the pileus.

SMOOTHISH-STEMMED BoLETusS 
Boletus flavipes Pk. Rep. 39, p. 42 
Pileus convex or nearly plane, glabrous, reddish inclining 
to chestnut color, flesh white, unchangeable; tubes nearly 
plane or convex, adnate, pale-yellow, becoming darker or 
greenish-yellow with age, the mouths small, subrotund ; 
stem equal, solid, fuxfuraceous, pale-yellow; spores oblong- 
fusiform, .0005 to .0006 in. long, .00016 to .o002 broad. 
Var. corruges. Pileus corrugated or pitted; stem pale- 
yellow or pallid, sometimes slightly thickened toward the 
base. | ; 
Pileus 1.5 to 4 in. broad ; stem 2 to 3 in. long, 4 to 8 lines 
thick.

The branny particles on the stem are pale and easily over- 
looked. The color of the stem is generally similar to that 
of the tubes. The color of the pileus sometimes approaches 
wood-brown but it has more ochraceous or buff-brown in it. 
The fresh spores have a slight greenish or olivaceous tint, 
but when old and dry they have the pale ochraceous-brown 
hue seen in those of most species of this tribe. It has been 
necessary to change the name of the species, the one first 
given being preoccupied.
