REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST I907 21 



York. Our specimens are from Bronx park. There are two forms 

 of the plant, a summer or conidial form which was collected in July, 

 and a winter or perfect form bearing ascospores, which was col- 

 lected in December. Received from W. A. Murrill in exchange. 

 Specimens have also been communicated by G. G. Atwood which 

 were collected in Westchester co. 



Flammula pulchrifolia n. sp. 



Pileus fleshy but thin, hemispheric becoming convex, slightly viscid 

 when moist, hygrophanous, fibrillose or, in large specimens, squamu- 

 lose in the center and fibrillose on the margin, pale pink or pallid on 

 the margin and pink in the center, flesh white, taste bitter and un- 

 pleasant; lamellae thin, close, adnate, sometimes slightly sinuate, 

 whitish, soon bright tawny or Indian yellow becoming bright tawny 

 ochraceous with age ; stem equal or nearly so, stuffed or hollow, 

 pallid, sometimes yellowish at the base, fibrillose at the top from 

 the remains of the veil ; spores bright tawny ochraceous in a thick 

 layer, ochraceous buff in a thin one, .0003 of an inch long, 

 .0002-.00024 broad.

Decaying wood of hemlock, Tsuga canadensis Carr. 

 Menands, Albany co. July and August. 



This beautiful species is easily recognized by the pink tint of the 

 pileus, the bitter flavor of its flesh and the peculiar bright colors 

 of its lamellae and spores. The fibrils at the top of the stem when 

 stained by the falling spores might be mistaken for a slight annulus.

 Utica. June. J. V. Haberer. The upright bedstraw is a recently 

 introduced plant and is related to wild madder, Galium m o 1 -
