demum per epidermidem baud decolorotam prorumpentia glo- 
bulosa, glabra, minutissime papillulata, nigro-fusca, parenchy- 
matice crasse contexta, ca, 150 fi lat. Asci clavati, apice rotun- 
dati, teneri, 45-50 X"^ i^* 8-spori. Sporae clavatae, medio sep- 
tatae et subconstrictae, cellula superiore latiore, inferiore angus-

Reiht sich offenbar eng an Didymosphaeria minutella Penz. & Sacc. Syll. 
14: 555 an Bambusa in Java, welche aber "sporae obovatae, non constrictae" 
hat, wahrend bei unserer Art diese ganz keulig, unten fast spitz sind und 
die Zellen sich leicht trennen.
