For full account of the synonomy with citations and notes,,
see J. C. Arthur, Botanical Gazette, 23 :46, from which the follow-
ing is taken :
To the translation by Johann Beckmann of Tillet’s account
of the species contained in the Royal Academy of Paris, 1776, where
it is stated that, 1 ‘ Son dernier effet consiste à convertir cette excrois-
sance en une poussière noirâtre et assez semblable à celle qui sort
du lycoperdon ou vesse de lonpe.”—a foot note is added by the
translator proposing the binomial designation, as follows :
“ Meiner Meynung nach, ist das hier beschriebene Gewaechs
allerdings ein Staubschwamm (Lycoperdon) und zwar eine Species
parasitica, deren in Lin. Syst. Nat. schon drey befindlich sind,
unter welchen also dieser Art, etwa unter dem Namen Lycoper.
zeae ein Platz anzuweisen waere.” J. B., Hannoverisches Maga-
zin, 6:1330.
