Koehler (1923) has given critical notes and excellent figures of 

 this species. His largest specimen had R 16 mm. In alcoholic 

 specimens the delicate abactinal spinelets are more or less obscured 

 by a soft skin, traversed by fine channels. It is relatively thicker 

 in the smaller than in the largest specimens and disappears on 

 drying.
