Ag. leoninus of Haller is a different species. Mr. Woodward. This is un¬ 
doubtedly the plant of Schaeffer* which Mr. Hudson cites as his Ag. 
testaceus, but he also quotes as a synon. Haller 2431* which is a very 
different plant* as appears from the references and description of the latter 
author* who seems to have misled Mr. Hudson by quoting Schaeffer 65.

Ag. adus'tus. Gills pale yellow* mostly uniform* forked : pileus 
yellow brown* edge greatly turned in : stem yellow brown* with 
reddish stains. 
Schaeff. 72 and 71. 
Gills greatly decurrent* pale yellow when full grown* numerous* nearly of 
the same length, most of them dividing at some distance from the stem. 
Pileus yellowish brown* with stains of dark red towards the edge ; gently 
convex* but the edge turned down and bent in so as to approach the stem; 
three and a half to five inches diameter *• clammy when wet* satiny when 
dry. Flesh pale dirty yellow. 
Stem solid* irregularly hollow with age* yellowish brown* with a few reddish 
stains; near two inches long* and more than one in diameter* rather 
eccentric. 
This is a very different plant from the Ag. elephantinus of Bolton* with 
which it has been confounded* perhaps because the pileus in both be¬ 
comes overspread with dark stains* giving the appearance of their having 
been parched or burnt.
