everywhere, throughout the year.
Plant of a tbiii, coriaceous, pliable substance when moist, b u t in a dry state
hard, firm, and like cork. In the young state it is effused, and its future

it becomes more or less reflexed, and each pileus or plant is either distinct,
or crowded and imbricated, or sometimes even growing in a circular
YOU.
