LACTARIUS MINIMUS, Sp. Nov. 
By Worruineton G. Surra, F.L.S. 
Ir is difficult to decide ponte this Banh should be published as a 
nsidered a 
ond fide new species, or be ere depauperised form of 
some other Lactarius. As far as m ita ge goes, no species or 
variety coming under this genus has hitherto been observed possessing 
its minute dimensions (here figured the exact size of nature), accord 
tolerably well with Lactarius patience Fr., but it difee in in having a 
semi-umbonate pileus in place of the depressed cap of that species ; 
moreover it is hardly sae ante that such a fine Agaric as Lactarius 
pallidus, Fr., with a pileus generally averaging from three to six inches 
in diameter, ‘could ever, under any circumstances, dwindle into such a 
dwarfish object as our Abergavenny plant. seems more reasonable 
to look upon it asa new species, which from its minute dimensions, and 
_ perhaps its rarity, has been hitherto overlooked. The fruit is quite 
normal, and very similar to that of other Lactari.
