disc concave, orange; externally glabrous, whitish, gradually 
passing into the elongated rooting stem, 3-4 mm. across, about

tricately interwoven, thick-walled hyphæ, about 4 p thick ; asci 
cylindrical, apex rounded, not blue with iodine, base narrowed 
into a pedicel, 8-spored; spores l-seriate, hyaline, smooth, con- 
tinuous, 15-16x7-8 u, elliptic-oblong; paraphyses filiform, 
slender, septate, tips not thickened.

Gregarious, stipitate ; ascophore cup-shaped or funnel-shaped, 
margin incurved for some time, thin, rather tough, entirely pale 
tan-colour; dise concave, even and smooth, as is also the margin ; 
externally very minutely pruinose and sometimes more or less 
wrinkled, about 1 em. across; stem 0'5 cm. or more in length, 
often wrinkled, and sometimes slightly discoid at the base ; hypo- 
thecium formed of densely compacted hyphæ, which run parallel 
to the surface of the dise, becoming much interlaced, and run- 
ning in all directions in the excipulum or central portion, then 
again becoming parallel in a direction at right angles to that of 
the hypothecium, finally becoming parenchymatous at the cortex 
and running out in little groups of cells to form the external 
pubescence ; asci cylindrical, apex rounded, not blue with iodine, 
narrowed below into a long pedicel, 320-350 x 15 p, wall thick, 
8-spored ; spores obliquely 1-seriate, elliptic-fusiform, ends acute, 
continuous, hyaline, smooth, often 2-4-guttulate, 28-30 x 11-
