The spirit-specimens submitted to Mr. William Carruthers,
of the British Museum, are described by him as follows:—
1. Phallus impudicus, Linn. (in Arab. Faswat
el-’Ajuz). The common “stinkhorn,”
extremely common in some districts of England, and
obtruding on the notice of every one from its detestable
odour. It is widely distributed over America
and Africa, as well as Europe, but I find no record
of its occurring in Asia.
