of the gills. Altogether distinct from all the ochraceous species, 
in many points agreeing with the section Rigidce , but decidedly 
viscid when moist, possibly only a variety of R. ochroleuca. 
Russula (Fragiles) puellaris, Fr. Hym. Fur. 452. 
Pileu», except the disc, membranaceous , conically convex, then 
flattened or depressed, striate to the margin and tuberculose (1-1J 
in. diam.), livid purplish, becoming yellowish, disc brown , always 
darker, stem soon hollow (1-1 J in. long), white, becoming yellowish ; 
gills attenuated behind, adnate, thin, crowded, naked , white, then 
pallid yellow. 
On waysides, in woods, etc. Morpeth (0. H. Sp. Perceval, Esq.). 
var. intensior. Pileus darker, nearly the same size, deep 
purple, nearly black at the disc, stem and gills as above. 
In the same places. 
The stem has a tendency to become thickened at the base, and 
turns yellowish where touched. 
Russula (Fragiles) roseipes, Seer. Myc. No. 483. 
Pileus fleshy, margin thin, convex, then flattened and depressed, 
viscid, soon dry, rosy flesh colour, rosy orange, or rosy with a tinge 
of ochre, at first spotted with whitish, at length blanched, margin 
shortly tuberculate, striate (2-3 in. diam.), gills rather crowded, 
equal, some dimidiate or furcate, furcate behind and rounded, free, 
rather distant, sometimes with an adnate tooth, ventricose, whitish, 
then ochraceous egg-yellow, connected by veins ; stem stuffed, 
lacunose, white, here and there sprinkled with a rosy meal (2 in. 
long, 8-15 mm. thick), flesh whitish, then rather yellowish, taste 
and odour pleasant, spores globose, echinulate, ochraceous, 8-10 /x . 
In woods. Morpeth (C. H. S. Perceval, Esq.). 
Russula (Fragiles) pulchralis, Britz. Sudb. Russ.f. 13. 
Pileus viscid, thin, convex, then flattened and depressed (2 in. 
diam.), circumference ochraceous, centre spotted with red or purple, 
margin thin, deeply striate and often split. ‘Stem equal, ventricose, 
or thickened at the base, fragile, white ; gills broad, distant, rather 
thick, whitish, then ochraceous yellow. Spores nearly globose, 
9x8/4. 
In woods. Near Bristol (0. Bucknall). 
It is dangerous to attempt an identification of Britzelmayer’s 
species from his imperfect descriptions and crude figures, but in 
this instance it appears to be correct, although Saccardo places this 
species (No. 1,813) in the section Rigidce , whereas it evidently 
belongs to Fragiles , according to the evidence afforded by the 
figure and description, near to R. nitida. 
Scolecotrichuxn uniseptatum ( B . fy C.) = Cladotrichum, Sacc. Syll.

Threads dark brown, thin, simple, or rarely shortly branched,
