“ This species forms whitish spots, J-1 in.long by several lines wide. On
these spots the little pure white heads are very visible to the naked eye, dispersed
in a scattered manner over the surface. The threads are simple,
erect, and remotely jointed, dividing at the summit into two, and then subdividing
into a number of short attenuated ramuli, covered with a profusion
of spores.”—Grev.
