Germany. Reported from Wright’s collections in Cuba, which 
apparently represent C. musaecola, and from Duss’ collections 
in Guadeloupe. In assigning the name C. alveolus in 1892 to 
specimens from St. Vincent, West Indies, Massee remarks that 
they are larger and more crisped and lobed than in the European 
form, but that there exists no good specific or even varietal dis- 
tinction between the two forms. 
Crepidotus mollis (Schaeff.) Quel. Champ. Jura Vosg. 106. 
1872. Described from northern Europe, and widely distributed, 
but not seen at Kew from the West Indies. Duss’ specimens 
from Guadeloupe bearing this name were not examined. 
II. Pholiota (Fries) Quel. Champ. Jura Vosg. 91. 1872 
This genus is distinguished by its fleshy stipe and well- 
developed veil, which forms a conspicuous and persistent annulus. 
The lamellae may be adnate or adnexed, and the spores vary in 
color from ferruginous to fulvous. The genus is abundantly 
represented in temperate regions, while the number of species 
reported from the tropics is comparatively small. 
1. Pholiota Broadwayi sp. nov. 
Pileus thin, fleshy, convex to expanded, solitary, reaching 3 cm. 
broad; surface moist or slightly viscid, entirely glabrous, nearly 
white to pale-isabelline, slightly darker at the center ; margin thin, 
concolorous, entire ; lamellae adnate or adnexed, rather narrow 
and crowded, slightly ventricose, pale-fulvous; spores ovoid, 
smooth, not apiculate, pale-yellowish-brown under a microscope, 
12X7-8/X; stipe cylindric, equal, erect, concolorous, glabrous, 
smooth, hollow, 4-7 cm. long, 2-3 mm. thick; annulus superior, 
membranous, rather slight and apt to disappear with age. 
Type collected on the ground in Grenada, West Indies, April 9, 
1905, W. E. Broadway. 
2. Pholiota avellanea sp. nov. 
Pileus nearly plane, solitary, about 3 cm. broad and 3 mm. 
thick; surface smooth, glabrous, dull, pale-avellaneous, slightly 
darker at the center, margin thin, slightly decurved; lamellae 
adnate, avellaneous when looked at perpendicularly, close, rather 
narrow ; spores ellipsoid, smooth, dull, pale-melleous, 9 X 4-4-5 /<■ ;
