The photo shows part of the preserved herbarium specimen. A look at my Kodachrome slides of the fresh material shows there to be little difference between the fresh and dried states. When fresh the colour was a slightly more yellowish orange and the wood was damp and darker, so that the black rim around the orange surface was not so clearly differentiated.
