Definition: star jelly
Nostoc
\Nos"toc\, prop. n. [F.] (Bot.)
A genus of alg[ae]. The plants are composed of moniliform
cells imbedded in a gelatinous substance.
[1913 Webster]
Note:
Nostoc commune is found on the ground, and is
ordinarily not seen; but after a rain it swells up into
a conspicuous jellylike mass, which was formerly
supposed to have fallen from the sky, whence the
popular names,
fallen star and
star jelly. Also
called
witches' butter.
[1913 Webster]
