disagreeable odor resembling that of garlic. Called also
hydrogen phosphide, and formerly, phosphureted hydrogen.
It is postulated as one possible cause of the rare lights
seen in marshes -- see ignis fatuus.
[1913 Webster + PJC]
Note: It is the most important compound of phosphorus and

potash on phosphorus. It is spontaneously inflammable,
owing to impurities, and in burning produces peculiar
vortical rings of smoke.
