Olive Clathrus.

Cl. ater

This curious Clathrus grew
on the stalks of wild Rapes which had
been weeded out of the corn in July &
thrown on heaps under the wall till
September. The heaps were dry on the
outside, and the dry strata being removed
the middle of the heaps were found to be
quite rotten and discovered these Clathri
in Millions every stalk being thickly covered
with them.
