 pi. 1179. 



On soil in hot-houses, stoves, &c. 



First described from Ceylon specimens, and undoubtedly 

 an introduced species. Distinguished from L. cepaestipes by 

 the glabrous pileus. Perhaps only a variety of the last- 

 named species.

Distinguished from L. granulosa by the larger size and 

 persistently biick-red, or red-lead colour of the pileus.
