The coloring matter of the pileus may be rubbed upon paper and produce on it red stains if the surface is previously moistened with water or dilute alcohol. This is one of the smallest Russulas known to me. The pileus was less than an inch broad and the stem less than an inch long in all the specimens seen by me. The species is closely allied to R. puellaris, and especially resembles the variety intensior in color. It differs in its smaller size, even or but slightly striate margin, broad lamellæ and in the stem or flesh not becoming yellowish spotted where touched. _Peck_, 50th Rep. N.Y. State Bot. West Virginia, 1881–1885. Pennsylvania, 1896–1897. July to September. _McIlvaine._ It makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity. =R. rose´ipes= (Secr.) Bres.—_rosa_, a rose; _pes_, a foot. (Plate XLIV, fig. 5, p. 184.) =Pileus= 1–2 in. broad, convex becoming nearly plane or slightly depressed, at first viscid, soon dry, becoming slightly striate on the thin margin, rosy-red variously modified by pink orange or ochraceous hues, sometimes becoming paler with age, taste mild. =Gills= moderately close, nearly entire, rounded behind and slightly adnexed, ventricose, whitish becoming yellow. =Stem= 1½-3 in. long, 3–4 lines thick, slightly tapering upward, stuffed or somewhat cavernous, white tinged with red. =Spores= yellow, globose or subglobose. The plants grow in woods of pine and hemlock and have been collected in July and August. The flesh is tender and agreeable in flavor. _Peck_, 51st Rep. N.Y. State Bot. =Spores= globose, minutely echinulate, pale ochraceous, 8–10µ diameter _Massee_. R. roseipes is common in West Virginia under hemlocks and spruces. At Mt. Gretna, Pa., it grew sparingly under pines. It is excellent. =R. Ma´riæ= Pk. =Pileus= fleshy, convex, subumbilicate, at length expanded and centrally depressed, minutely pulverulent, bright pink-red (crimson lake), the disk a little darker, margin even. =Lamellæ= rather close, reaching the stem, some of them forked, venose-connected, white, then yellowish. =Stem= equal, solid, colored like the pileus except the extremities which are usually white. =Spores= globose, nearly smooth, 7.6µ in diameter; flesh of the pileus white, red under the cuticle, taste mild. =Plant= 2 in. high. =Pileus= 1.5–2 in. broad. Stem 3–6 lines thick. Dry ground in woods. Catskill mountains. July. The minute colored granules, which give the pileus a soft pruinose appearance, are easily rubbed off on paper, and water put upon the fresh specimens is colored by them. _Peck_, 24th Rep. N.Y. State Bot. New York, _Peck_, 24th and 50th Rep.; West Virginia, 1882–1885; Mt. Gretna, Pa., solitary in mixed woods. July to September. 1897–1898. _McIlvaine._ It is on a par with most Russulæ.
