On willow branches.
2-3 lines broad, gently convex, brownish, then black; perithecia in a
single row, globose, often altered in form by mutual pressure, resting upon
the matrix. Ostiola projecting slightly, often stellate. When cut off horizontally
beneath the stroma a distinct black line is seen upon the wood.

The pustnle ia brown within, but covered witb a distinct black stroma.
Sporidia ('0003 in.) -005 m.m. long. This ia clearly not tbe Valsa longirostris
of Tulasne, nor the Diatrype (Mamiania) hystrix of De Notarla. Berkeley regards
it as the Sphæria hystrix of Tode. We have seen no specimens.
