has very little character to make it a species, and differs only from Bulliard's A., leucocephalus in not having a solid stipes, and perhaps in swelling a little where the annulus is usually found. I have found it very often, or had not figured it here. TAB. CCCLXVI.

have not met with a figure of this Fungus anywhere; but we venture to use one of Schæffer's names, which Withering quotes with a fort of doubt, and which we think no other than a variety oi A.Stipitis. Ours seemed to agree pretty well with Withering's description, except the colours of our Fungus being altogether more lively. TAB. CCCLXVII.

This is not very uncommon on the stumps of old willows. It does not always assume the yellow hue expressed in the figure, yet that often seems its most remarkable characteristic. TAB. CCCLXVIII. Schæff. 136.

have found this Fungus on the same stump in General Money's plantations near Norwich, at two very distant periods. It very much resembles B. lucidus; but being stemless, imbricated, and of a somewhat different texture, we have ventured to consider it a species. But Schæffer's name B. versicolor being engaged, and a variety of B. hepaticus being called B. variegatus, we have used the latter name as appropriate to this species. Schæffer's Boletus semiovatus something resembles ours, and perhaps may not be distinct.
