History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
' 2443. Lycoperdon. So called by Tournefort, from Xvxo;, a wolf, and 5r5«5^y, 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 Bqfist. 
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, ot 
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 y/jf, the earth, and otg-'/i^, 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 nair.ed from x^ciryie, 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.
