1 In exceptional cases the colour of Clathrus cancellatus varies through orange to yellow, or 
through pink to white. Some enormous specimens have been described, as large as 49 by 47 centi- 
metres (Bull. Soc. Bot. de France, Tom. xx, p. 132, 1873). 
3 Apparently described from specimens still enclosed within the peridium.
