So called by Tournefort, from λuκoς, a wolf, and περδω, to explode backwards, that author certainly having improved upon the foolish old name, Crepitus lupi, by making it less generally intelligible. (Smith.) These are roundish tuber-like plants, when ripe, exploding and emitting the sporules in the form of smoke, whence country people call the species puff-balls. 2444. Bovista. A name of barbarous origin, having been formed by Dillenius, from the German Bofist. Bovista furfuracea, an Italian species, is said by Micheli, to be common on heaths near Florence, where it is sold with others of its tribe, as an article of food. Bovista gigantea is the largest of the genus, and, indeed, of the whole order, measuring not unfrequently nearly 2 feet in diameter. Bulliard mentions having seen many of eighteen, twenty, and twenty-three inches in diameter, and on the authority of others, affirms them to attain the enormous bulk of nearly nine feet in circumference. The flesh is at first white, afterwards of a greenish-yellow, lastly of a brown-grey. The outer peridium cracks and peels off in large flakes on being handled. 2445. Geastrum. So called from γης, the earth, and aσης, a star, in allusion to the stellate appearance of the species when burst and lying on the ground. A genus formed by Micheli upon the Puff-balls with a stellated volva. 2446. Craterium. So named from κρaτης, a cup, in allusion to the form of the peridium, which in C. vulgare is formed like a small goblet. This is a minute subsolitary plant, with the habit of Calicium. ORD. IX.

Stemonitis. From σημωv, a stamen, in allusion to the form of some of the species, which may be compared to the male organ of a flower, taking the stipes for the filament, and the head for the anthera. 2448. Cribraria. A genus formed by Schrader out of the Sphærocarpi of Bulliard. It has for its essential character, a peridium, the upper part of which has numerous apertures, whence the name, from cribro, to perforate. All the species are found in autumn upon rotten wood. 2449. Dictydium. From δiκτuov, a net, and εiδoς, similar; the peridium appears like net-work fastened together by minute delicate ribs. Very minute pinheaded plants, with the appearance of Calicium. 2450. Arscyria. From aρκuς, a net. The sporules are fastened together by a net-work of fibres. Beautiful little minute fungi, found upon wood. 2451. Leangium. From λεioς, smooth, and aγγioς, a vessel, in reference to the smoothness of the peridium. Small wart-like plants, resembling a minute Lycoperdon. 2452. Trichia. From θρiξ τρiχoς, hair, in allusion to the internal mass of elastic fibres gradually expanding after the head bursts. These are pin-headed plants, growing upon old wood, and very rarely seen in this country. 2453. Diderma. From δis, double, and δερμa, a skin, on account of the double peridium. 2454. Physarum.

L. vernicosus appears as if varnished over with vermilion. The plants grow in clusters upon bits of rotten wood, and are each formed of a pear-shaped stalked peridium, bursting at the end, and letting fall out a nucleus of sporules held together by fibres. 2456. Lycogala. From λuκoς, a wolf, and γaλa, milk, a genus of fungi whose internal appearance and substance in an early state are like a mass of thick cream. It is included under Mucor by Linnæus, Schreber, and others. L. argenteum is found upon rotten wood in the autumn. It is about an inch or more in diameter, brown and pulpy when young, of a brilliant white when arrived at maturity, discharging, by one or more irregular accidental openings, a mass of rich dark snuff-colored powder. 2457. Spumaria. From spuma, froth. S. mucilago is spread in the autumn over the leaves and stems öf living plants, or over dead branches, when it resembles in some measure stiffened foam or froth. 2458. Dichosporium. From δiχa, double, and σπoρa, a seed; in allusion, we presume, to the double coat of he peridium, the innermost of which is formed of granules like sporules. The only species known is found upon the bark of the oak. 2459. Licea. The meaning of this word is unexplained. The species have been referred to Trichia, Didy- ORD. IX. TRIBE II.

From aσκoς, a term used by mycologists to denote a peculiar kind of receptacle of sporules, and pegw, to bear. These are pin-headed fungi, with the habit of Mucor, from which they chiefly differ in φέρω, to bear. These are pin-headed fungi, with the habit of Mucor, from which they chiefly differ in their peridium being turned inside out after bursting , and being somewhat persistent. 2463. Eurotium. Euρως was the Greek name of a sort of mouldiness, and has been with a sufficient reason applied to this genus of plants. 2464. Amphisporium. From aμφi, double, and σπoρa, a sporule. These organs are of two forms, either roundish with three dots in the middle, or ovate acuminate, and quite pellucid. 2465. Ceratium.

This genus has been extracted from Dematium by Link. diverge from a common centre. This genus has been extracted from Dematium by Link. 2475. Rhizomorpha. So called from its resemblance to the branching fibrous roots of various plants. All the productions referred to this genus are very obscure and uncertain. R. phosphorea, the Clavaria phosph of Sowerby, is a plant sometimes existing as a parasite between the wood and bark of trees, or in wine-cellars phosphorea among saw-dust, and is, when fresh, remarkably luminous in the dark. 2476. Sepedonium. From σηπεδωv, putrescence. The species grow among the decaying parts of fungi, and other putrid substances. 2477. Acremonium. From aκρεμωv, a branch; the thecæ are produced about the filaments in fascicles, as branches are about trees. 2478. Sporotrichum. From σπoρa, and θρiξ, hair, in allusion to the filamentous nature of the sporules. A very destructive parasite in some seasons, and probably of general distribution, for it has been detected on a great variety of plants. To gardeners it is well known as a kind of mildew or blight, and is commonly taken for an insect. The leaves of the peach-trees, even when protected by glass, are often attacked by it, nor does the fruit itself always escape, in which case it frequently drops off. The leaves are more or less distorted by it. As its production is probably the result of a peculiar state of the atmosphere, there is little chance of any means being discovered for its prevention.

The sporules are remarkable for their regular fusiform figure. 2490. Exosporium. So called by Link, from εξ, on the outside, and σπoρoς, a sporule; on account of their external situation. Entire plant about one-third of a line in diameter, rarely larger, very gregarious, deep black, convex, bursting from beneath the epidermis, and appearing bristly under a pocket magnifier. Sporidia very crowded, elongated, obtuse at the apex, subopake, divided transversely about five times, fixed at the base upon a roundish dark-colored, solid receptacle, and there persistent. 2491. Fusidium. A name with the same meaning as Fusarium. 2492. Polythrincium. From πoλuς, many, and θρiγκoς, a little division. To the naked eye, this little plant appears in the form of numerous minute black spots of unequal size. Under the microscope, these spots are each found to consist of a number of distinct little roundish tufts of filaments, nearly equidistant from one another, and becoming smaller towards the circumference. The filaments are densely crowded, semitransparent, gradually thickening upwards, somewhat moniliform from the numerous articulations, erect, simple; the sporidia oval, two-celled, scattered among the filaments. 2493. Stilbospora. From 5iλβω, to shine, and σπoρoς, a sporule. Asci or sporules naked, imbedded in a black substance flowing from the branches of trees.
