Var.* bacillaris, Ach. similar to Florkeana in general characters, 

 but the cortex deliquesces into a granular ashey-grey or a fine 

 white impalpable powder, or the granules are developed into 

 minute leafy scales, which more or less entirely cover the podetia. 



Mountainous heaths, not unfrequent. 



Hitherto confused by external aspect and characters alone with G. maciknta, 

 but separated by different reaction. Analogous to Florkeana, as pleurota to 

 cornucopioides an&fimbriuta to pyxidata.
