TERFEZIA LEONIS, TUL.-TUBER NIVEUM 
(DESF.) 
This highly esteemed species, known as the “ White Truffle,” has 
been sent from Northwestern Louisiana by Rev. A. B. Langlois, who 
reports it as quite common in the red sandy soil along the Red river in 
the vicinity of Natchitoches. It is much prized by the people there as a 
delicacy for the table, either eaten fresh or after having been sliced and 
dried. The specimens sent by Mr. L. were subglobose and one of them 
full two inches in diameter, strongly plicate or furrowed below, nearly 
smooth and pale reddish-brown outside, marbled white within and of 
compact texture much like a potato, but softer. When first dug from 
the ground the color is a pure white, the reddish-brown tint being due to 
exposure to the air. The asei obovate or subglobose, 75—80 x 60—70 . 
Each contain eight globose spores thickly clothed with obtuse, elongated, 
wart-like tubercles and about 20 !>■ in diameter. The home of the white 
truffle is said to be in Northern Africa, though it is not uncommon in 
Southern Europe, where its growth is favored by the mild winters. 
Fries mentions that two specimens of this species have been found in 
Sweden in the vicinity of Linkoping, but it is not common so far north. 
Its occurrence in the Red river region of Louisiana is less remarkable 
and makes it seem not improbable that it may be found in other locali¬ 
ties in the Southern States. J. B. E.
