BURLINGHAM I NEW SPECIES OF RuSSULA 133 ' 



yellow (t. 1-2), a few reaching only half way to the stipe, forking 

 near the stipe or a short distance away, interveined, rounded, and 

 only slightly attached next stipe, rounded at outer end, close, 

 broad ; stipe white, unchanging, pruinose at apex, spreading a 

 little next stipe, otherwise equal, firm, then spongy, 3-7 cm. 

 X 1.5-2.3; spores maize-yellow (t. 2-4), apiculate, symmetrical, 

 echinulate, with spiny ridges forming reticulations, 6.2 X 7-5~8jU. 



Type Locality : Newfane Hill, Vermont. 

 Habitat: In dead leaves under beeches, August. 

 Distribution : Found in two different localities on Newfane 

 Hill. 



This species seems rare and very distinct. The peppery taste 

 develops slowly and seems to be chiefly in the cuticle. . I have 

 found the species each summer since 1916 and although I have 

 searched for it during July for three years I have not seen it until 

 toward the end of the first week in August. As a rule the vinous 

 color is more prominent toward the center of the pileus. 



Russula redolens sp. nov. 



Pileus convex, then plane, depressed in the center, up to 4.5 

 cm. broad; surface dark drab-green to greenish-gray, sometimes 

 paler toward the center, viscid when wet, appearing dull and 

 pruinose when dry, cuticle separable ; margin nearly even ; con- 

 text white, taste strong and disagreeable, becoming slightly pep- 

 pery, odor when dried like strong celery, persisting ; lamellae 

 pure-white, equal, some forking near the stipe, midway to the 

 margin, or near the margin, venose-connected, narrow at the 

 inner end, broadest in the center, rounded at the outer end ; stipe 

 white, tapering toward the base, spongy, becoming hollow, gla- 

 brous, 2 cm. X 1 cm. at apex, much narrower at the base ; spores 

 pure-white, very minutely echinulate, 5-7.5 X 5.6-7.5 jtt. 



Type Locality: Newfane Hill, Vermont, 1,600 ft. elevation. 

 Habitat: Under maple, oak and spruce, or beech trees, August 

 3 and 11. 



Distribution : Newfane Hill and South Londonderry, Ver- 

 mont. 



This can be distinguished from all other green species of Rus- 

 sula by the strong celery-like taste and odor, which becomes 

 noticeable in drying. The odor of the type collected in August, 

 1916, still persists in 1920.
