Scattered or gregarious, superficial, closed and subglobose at 
first, then becoming almost plane, margin entire, more or less 
raised when dry, glabrous, 4-2 mm. across ; dise pallid, externally 
pitch-brown ; hypothecium and excipulum formed of slender, 
interlaced hyphx, which gradually pass towards the cortex into 
rows of olive-brown cells, which increase in size as they approach 
the periphery and margin; asci clavate, apex narrowed, the 
minute apical pore blue with iodine, about 110x103 spores 
irregularly 2-seriate, hyaline, fusiform, ends acuminate, 3-sep- 
tate, 36-40 x5; paraphyses numerous, filiform, tips not at all 
thickened.

The present species is a typical species of Belonidium, and 
will stand as B. ARuNDINARI&. Saccardo’s genus Belonium, to 
which the present technically belongs, cannot stand, the distinc- 
tions from Montagne’s Belonidium being too flimsy, and not 
even constant. The minute ascophores are attached by a central 
point, and readily fall away at maturity, leaving a minute, dark, 
circular patch on the substratum caused by the coloured hyphe. 
Belonidium pullum, Phil. & Keith, is closely allied to the present, 
differing in the somewhat shorter spores having the ends acute, 
and not acuminate.
