Superb. A well sized Tiarella papalis with a saturated pattern of wine-red flecks in two shades: dark and pale. The pale ones form an unusual band mid-whorl. Of the 41 figures shown in the literature, this is definitely the most beautiful one. HYPOTYPE in the twin books: 1000 Shells, exceptionals from the Philippines.
Philippines. Palawan. 10-25 m. 2013.
