REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST, 1898 655 



Scolopendrium Scolopendrium (Z.) Karst. 



The discovery of a new station for this rare fern has been published. 

 It is in a ravine near Perry ville, Madison co., and is not far from the 

 Chittenango Falls locality. It is said that the original New York station, 

 where it was found many years ago by Pursh, has been destroyed and 

 the fern is no longer there. It is to be hoped that this new locality for 

 it will long escape such a fate. 



Sphagnum Pylaesii Brid. 



On the summits of the high peaks of the Adirondack mountains this 

 moss overspreads the wet surface of bare rocks, lying prostrate as if too 

 weak to stand erect. It was found growing on wet bare earth on the 

 marshy border of a small pond back of Wallface mountain. It was more 

 erect in its mode of growth. 



Dicranum flagellare Hedw. 



A peculiar form of this species was found by Mrs Britton near White- 

 face inn, North Elba. In it the stems are long and slender, the flagellae 

 few and the leaves narrow and secund. The specimens are sterile. 



Tricholoma portentosum centrale n. var. 



Pileus pale yellow or greenish yellow, sooty brown in the center; 

 lamellae tranversely marked or irregularly striated with paler lines. 

 Otherwise like the type. Sand Lake. September. 



Galera lateritia albicolor n. var. 

 Pileus while, finely striate. Menands. June. 



Galera Hypnorum umbonata n. var. 



Pileus campanulate, 6 to 8 lines broad, strongly umbonate. In a 

 sphagnous marsh. Kasoag. October. 



Cortinarius corrugatus subsquamosus 7i. var. 



Pileus marked with appressed spot-like scales. Sand Lake. Septem- 

 ber. The spots are darker than the general color of the pileus and give 

 this variety a very distinct appearance. 



Psilocybe caerulipes Pk. 



This species was discovered in 1884 near Ballston lake. It was found 

 a second time the past season near Round lake. It is evidently a rare 

 species.
