larger diameter than is common in E. 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 cu-cumstances any species of the genus would be equally
bleached.
