Perithecia globose, seated beneath a diseolonred cinereous spot, springing
from forked septate threads, spores oblong, about three times longer than
their diameter. The forked septate threads of the mycelium, with their obtuse
apices, are very remarkable.—B .A B r .

Concealed entirely beneatb the cuticle, except tbe round ostiolum

acute at eitber end, containing many scattered, globose, pellucid
nuclei.—B. 4 Br. Ann. N .H . no. 425.
On dead leaves of Typha. Spye Park, Wilts.
The nuclei are not arranged regularly in a single row, and therefore do not
represent endochromes.

In my copy of Berkeley’s British Fungi, No. 282, the spores are brown,
