Lycoperdon bovista Hist. 117.

Puffball Lycoperdon. starred variety.

Lycoperdon asteriscus.

This Lycoperdon I gathered near Copley
Hall and in some other places near Halifax.

This plant by the modern writers of
British Floras, seems to have been huddled
up as a variety of Lycoperdon Bovista.

I have remarked them for many years
and find no reasons to support such a conjecture,
each retains his own <s>own</s> figure,
colour and specific marks, and I have never
found an intermediate specimen.
