Clathrus sphaerocephalus. Hist. 94. f.1.

Gray round headed Clathrus.

This Clathrus is the same Plant
that is figured on Tab. 181.-- but was
there figured in its dry state here
in the perfection of its' growth.
Dillenius considered it as a Lichen
and gives a bad figure in Hist. Musc [Historia Muscorum]
Tab. 14. Fig 5.  Haller [Albrecht von Haller] has also figured 
it Tab. 48. Fig. 2. But the swelling
semipallucid base was disreagarded by
both, which character alone is sufficient
to discriminate the species.
