Whole plant more or less of a brown hue. Exterior volva ovate, fleshy,
dirty-white, inclining to brown, buried 6-8 in. in the sand, with a few dirty-
white floccose hairs at the base, middle volva much thinner, and almost
membranaceous, conneoted with the outer by mucilage, smooth within; inner
volva internally villous, covered with very abundant yellow-brown dust-like
seed; externally concave and smooth. Stem formed within the cavity of the
interior volva, cylindrie, straight, short, fleshy, filled with mucilage, but
afterwards elongated upwards with wonderful force and quickness, and protruded
through the soil, carrying with it almost the whole inner volva, adnatewith
its apex, and covered, with a portion of the outer coat torn off, in
the same manner. Immediately after maturity it becomes dry, as also the
volva; tubular within, and externally fibrous, and remains a long time
bleached and tossed about by wind and rain.—Smith,. (Fig. I l l , reduced.)
