oblong, 7 12 me. long, 6 me. broad. Plant, T0-20 cm. high, pileus 8-15 cm. broad,

tinct areae, each of which is raised into an acute rigid pyramidal wart; stem 8 
cm. high, 2% cm. or more in thickness at the base, furnished with a thick warty

compact, uniformly warted. Warts pyramidical, saffron color. Flesh soft white. 
Stipe solid with a bulbous root, with a constricted coitina above and squamulose 
downward. Gills narrow, touching (the stipe) attenuate both ways. Stipe 12-15 
cm. long, pileus 6 cm. broad, veil fibrillose extending from the margin of the pil¬ 
eus to the apex of the stipe, fugacious. In cultivated fields. (Montague Sylloge 
p. 96.) 
Amanita abrupta. Pileus thin, broadly convex or nearly plane, verru- 
cose with small angular or pyramidal erect somewhat evenescent warts, slightly

and sometimes terminating in slightly decurrent lines upon it, white ; stem slen¬ 
der, glabrous, solid, bulbous, white, the bulb abrupt, subglobose, often coated 
below by the white persistent mycelium, the annulus membranous, persistent; 
spores broadly elliptical or subglobose, 7-10 me. long, 6-7 me. broad. Pileus 5-10
