larger diameter than is common in V. clathrata, but this is a 
character of little moment in this genus, and the very pale 
colour may arise from the peculiar circumstance under which the 
plant grew :—as, if the specimens were collected in a shallow 
pool near high-water mark they would assuredly be pale. In 
such circumstances any species of the genus would be equally 
bleached.
