Tuber asa Tul. & C. Tul., Fungi Hypogaei: 149 (1851).
Basionym Tuber asa Tul. & C. Tul., Fungi Hypogaei: 149 (1851).
Diagnosis Fungus globosus vulgo nucis magnitudine, undique irregulariter gibboso-sulcatus, sordideque luteolus. Peridium leve, tenue, glebae valde haerens. Caro firma griseo-lutea venis labyrintheis albidis vel griseis, anastomosantibus, nec non lineis angustissimis raris nigrescentibus marmorata. Sporangia ovato-rotundata, sporis globosis (et quidem sphaericis ac 0mm,032-042 diametro metientibus) elegantissime reticulatis (maculis saepius hexagonis) maturitatisque tempore saturate luteo-fuscis seu rufulis foeta. Odor gravissimus illius Asae foetidae admodum aemulus, penitus intra paucos dies evanescit. (Lespiald.)
Raro effoditur in sabuletis prope Neracum, mense januario. (Lespiald.)
Specimina sicca sectaque vidimus quae Balsamiam vulgorem quodammodo mentiuntur.
