| Notes: | These spores are still widely used as a coating on Pharm. pills. They form a very fine yellow powder, without odour, which due to its waxy constituents, and nearly 50% of a fatty oil, is non-wettable. Dr WBG Jacobson, in SWA Wittenschaftliche Gesellshaf, t Newsletter, April 1986. Also used as a condom lubricant (New Scientist 198.) | ||||
