This was only once collected by Jlr. Künstler. He describes the matura receptacles as 2 or 3 in. long.
The specimens collected by him, which are evidently young, measure about 1-5 in. in length and -75 in.
in diameter, and, as the seeds they contain are quite immature, I tliink it probable that the mature receptacle
will, when collected, be found to measure considerably more than Mr. Kunstler states.
