My experience of the east coast population is that they are much smaller than 10–25 mm, more like 5 mm. Quoy & Gaimard give the length as "5 lignes", about 11 mm. Also generally the spire is brown and eroded, whereas some sources and photos show it entire. There might be differences between specimens from exposed vs. sheltered locations? Also there is different usage of "banded periwinkle" vs. "blue periwinkle" or even "australwink". Wondering if we are conflating different things, or is it just variation across range and situation?
