All the species of Macalla enumerated above exhibit considerable 

 colour variation and in most cases a certain amount of sexual varia- 

 tion as well. It is quite possible that when they are better known 

 some may prove to be varieties ; on the other hand, it is also 

 possible that some now treated as varieties may turn out to be 

 veritable species.
