Agaricus burkillii

An old name, transferred to Agaricus by Saccardo and Trotter in 1913 from a species that Massee named after the botanist I. H. Burkill, who collected in British India and Malaya. It has not been re-collected with any certainty, and its modern identity is unclear, so these are generic tropical Agaricus notes.
