V .—Descriptions of Seven New Scottish 
Fungi. 
By Robert Kaye Greville, Esq. F. R. S. E. 
M.W.S. &c. , 
{Read mh December 1821.) 
HE number of Fungi hitherto discovered in Scotland 
is so very hmited, that little merit can be claimed for add- 
ing a few additional species ; yet when a iiew one is ascer- 
tained, or one respecting which there exists any degree of 
confusion, a description of the one, or observations calcu- 
lated to remove uncertainty in the other, will, it is pre« 
sumed, be not unfavourably received. Under this impres- 
sion, I have described several species, which 1 have recent- 
ly added to the Scottish Flora. No figures have been pub- 
lished of any of them ; one is described by Albertini and 
ScHWEiNiz in their Conspectus Fungorum ; and two are 
so obscurely noticed, that, were it not for colour and local- 
ity, I should have no data by which I could j udgS of their 
identity. 
Since Persoon published his Synopsis Meihodica Fun^ 
gorum, in 1801, a great number of Species have been dis- 
covered, and many necessary alterations made in the Genera, 
particularly of the sixth Order, N^matothecii Fungi
