352 CRYPTOGAMIA. FUNGI. Lycoperdon: 
Lyc. inna'tum. White, spherical, solitary, parasitical, sessile, con¬ 
taining a white powder, and opening at the top with many 
clefts. 
Sowerby 53— Hay Syn. 3.1. 
First observable like greenish tubercles within the outer cuticle of the leaf 
on which it grows, from under which it emerges of a white colour and a 
widely conical form with a small pore at the top. This small opening 
gradually enlarging, it becomes glass or pitcher-shaped, the edge tearing 
into numerous segments. The cavity appears filled with a white pow¬ 
der, mixed with wool-like fibres. The whole becomes yellowish and then 
brown, much resembling in this advanced age the fructification of a Poly¬ 
pody. Allied to L. epiphyllum , but differs from that in growing single, 
not in clusters, in being white, not orange-coloured, and in the mouth 
not opening into eight or nine, but into many irregular clefts. Pulteney 
in Linn. Tr. ii. 311.

Anemone, ibid. JEcidium fuscum. JRelh. Suppl. On leaves of Anemone 
nemorosa. Mr. Relhan has since observed it on Adoxa moschatellina , 
Carduus arvensis, and Betonica officinalis. Mr. Gough also found it 
on the root-leaves of the latter plant, in the month of May. (On the 
leaves of Anemone nemorosa in woods near Newcastle and Darlington.

Lyc. cine(reum. (Batsch.) Blue grey ; globular, rough and branny: 
seeds like sand, large, black, intermixed with zig-zag white fibres.

About the size of a pin’s head ; brittle. Batsch. 
(Grey Pin’s-head Puff-ball. Trichia cinerea. Purt. E.) Found by Mr.

Lyc. epiden'drum. Small, globular, brittle: bark and dust purple. 
( Grev. Scot. Crypt. 38— Sowerby 52. E.)— Bull. 503 and 192, the lower 
left hand and the upper right hand figures. — Bolt. 119. 1— FI. Dan. 720 
— Schceff. 193— Buxb. v. 29. 2— Mich. 95. 2. A. 
When unripe the flesh is red ; when ripe, the seeds are pinky grey. (With 
the assistance of a magnifier, the external surface is found to be thinly 
scattered over with minute granules. When quite young the interior is 
so pulpy as to exude in drops if wounded. Sporules intermixed with a 
few filaments. Grev. E.) 
It is either, 1. Orange-coloured and smooth. 
2. Vermilion-coloured; black at the bottom. 
3. Lead-coloured; smooth. 
4. Bark grey brown; salmon-coloured within. 
This might have been referred to Heticularia Lycoperdon , but that it rents 
open at the top. From the size of a pea to that of a horse-bean. 
Having only one coat it might arrange with L. pis forme.
