22. STENOCYBE Nyl. Bot. Not. 1854, p. 84, ex Stiz. St. Gall.
Nat. Ges. (1876) p. 196.—Thallus macular, th in , usually obsolete,
or probably none proper. Apothecia stipitate, scattered, black, th e
capitulum turbinato-clavate ; paraphyses slender, short ; sporal mass
none ; spores oblongo-fiisiform, normally 3-septate, dark-brown or
blackish ; hymenial gelatine pale-bluish w ith iodine. Spermogones
not rig h tly known.
Distinguisbed from Calicium by the surface of the capitulum, which is
without any accumulated sporal mass, the pluriseptate spores, and the
more slender and shorter paraphyses. The absence of a mazædium
entitles it to rank as a distinct genus, as originally proposed by Nylander,
a position to which he has again restored it. All the plants are minute
and inconspicuous.

Stenocyhe major Nyl. Bot. Not.
1854, p. 84 (nomen ineptum).
This has hitherto been confounded
by British authors (following
Aludd) with S. trajecia. From this
it is distinguished by the smaller
aud more scattered apothecia and
especially by the smaller spores.
