toxostoma
  13

It means with the stomach or the crooked belly. In Botany it is one of the names of a disease that gives to corn cobs, by which it produces fewer grains and the tusa is crooked. It is caused by a fungus ( Ustilago maydis ). Despite this, it is edible and very desirable in Mexico, where it is called huitlacoche or cuitlacoche. Although in Mexico it is considered a delicacy, in the rest of countries we consider it a pest. Toxostoma, in Ornitology, is also a genus of birds in the family Mimidae, known as sinsontes or cuckoos.
