There are, according to Morelet, two color-varieties of this 

 species, both white, with the columella of a handsome maroon 

 color: one (fig. 37) is uniform; the other (fig. 38) is orna- 

 mented with fiammules and small spots of brown. They are 

 found on the leaves of trees. It is named for the hardy 

 explorer who first visited Timbuctu.
