the skin appeats of a pale livid brown colour. Sometimes it is 
found in a glutinous state, and then. it resembles the following

The whole plant is sometimes not, larger than a large pin.

been applied to more than ong species, and the name given it 
by Batsch, which I have therefore preferred, is very expressive. _
