Murrill: Agaricaceae of Tropical North America 83 



subglabrous to granulose ; lamellae white, free, rather crowded ; 

 spores ovoid, smooth, hyaline, uninucleate, 5-7X3-4^; stipe 

 slender, enlarged and flavous at the base, hollow, minutely tomen- 

 tose, 3 cm. long; annulus slight, evanescent. 



Type collected in Bermuda grass sod at Santiago de las Vegas, 

 August 1, 1904, F. S. Earle 139. A colored sketch by Mrs. Earle 

 has proved valuable in drawing the description. 



5. Lepiota subcristata sp. nov. 



Pileus convex, umbonate, solitary, 7.5 mm. broad, 5 mm. high ; 

 surface floccose, pale-isabelline, with dark-avellaneous, imbricated 

 scales, the umbo smooth, purplish-fuliginous ; lamellae free, white ; 

 spores ellipsoid, smooth, hyaline, 5X3/^; stipe slender, equal, 

 glabrous, purplish-fuliginous, 1.5 cm. long, 1 mm. or less thick; 

 annulus slight, evanescent. 



Type collected on rotten wood near Moore Town, Jamaica, 200 

 m., December 16, 1908, W . A. & Edna L. Murrill 158. What 

 appears to be the same species, though there are no field notes, 

 was collected by W. E. Broadway in August and September, 1905, 

 at The Bower, St. George's, Grenada. In one of these collections, 

 the sporophores measure over 1 cm. in diameter, in the other, 

 about 5 mm. 



6. Lepiota testacea sp. nov. 



Pileus conic, truncate, regular, 4 mm. broad, 2 mm. high, soli- 

 tary; surface smooth, pale-testaceous, covered with fine tomen- 

 tum, margin fibrillose ; lamellae free, white, ventricose, broad; 

 spores ovoid, smooth, hyaline, uninucleate, 7X3-5~4/^j stipe 

 cylindric, enlarged at the base, glabrous, white, 1 cm. long, 

 scarcely 1 mm. thick; annulus superior, large, persistent, white, 

 fixed by the lower margin. 



Type found growing in rich soil on a damp, shaded bank near 

 Chester Vale, Jamaica, 1,000 m., December 22, 1908, W. A. & 

 Edna L. Murrill 355. Also collected on the same day in a nearby 

 locality, W. A. & Edna L. Murrill 401. The relationship of this 

 species is with L. rubrotincta. It is such a tiny plant that it is 

 easily overlooked. 



7. Lepiota subgranulosa sp. nov. 



Pileus hemispheric, 1 cm. broad, 5 mm. high, solitary; surface 

 testaceous, finely granulose, adorned with minute, conical tufts
