Lycoperdon cervinum. Hist. 116.
Subterraneous Puffball

By all the observations I have
been able to make this must be the
Lycoperdon cervinum <s>[illegible]</s>. of Linnaeus in
its first apearence [appearance] above ground it
has no other root tham [than] a small fibre or
two but in the progress of its slow growth
the Root encreases [increases] in proportion to the
plant. The lycoperdon Durus Tab:
103, resembles this plant in many
things and is perhaps a variety of it.
