This proves, on examination, to be a species of Balanophora , 
and is described by Hemsley as Balanophora Hookeriana. 
Berkeley evidenly suspected something of the kind, as he 
says, ‘ Except for its place of growth it might easily be 
passed over as an imperfect Balanophora .’ Its being in contact 
with a caterpillar is probably quite accidental.
