In a dry state this anomalous production resembles a very 
robust Lichina, being black and rigid. When moistened, 
however, this appearance wholly vanishes. The black 
woody wrinkled stems become of a brilliant crimson, and 
their outer coat, imbibing moisture much more readily than 
the very dense axis, swells to twice or thrice its bulk when 
dry, and is broken in all directions, and falls away in flakes, 
leaving the solid axis behind. The frond is from 3 an inch 
to an inch in height, but when moistened is 2-3 lines in dia- 
meter!
