dead bark. 
The species differs from others of the genus by the stromata, which 
are not superficial from the beginning, but at first immersed. At first 
sight the fungus looks like a Diatrype,

Stromatibus hypophyllis, plerumque plus minus dense aggre^ 
gatis, subinde 1-2 confluentibus, plerumque rotundatis, 0.5 ad 
1.25 mm diam,, atris, opacis, superficialibus, planis, membrana-

punctiformi praeditis, marginem versus irregulariter radiatim 
contextis ibique ex hyphis dense connatis fuscis 2 ad 3 /* crassis 
compositis; loculis irregulariter dehiscentibus, tandem late 
apertis; ascis clavatis, apice rotundatis, deorsum leniter at-

fi latis, octosporis ; sporidiis distichis, intra ascos tantum visis, 
1-septatis, oblongis, circa 9 ad 12 ^t* longis, 3 ad 4 /x latis, fus-

It is a pity that the specimens are not quite mature. Although we have 
seen the sporidia only in the interior of the asci, yet we believe they are two- 
celled with a bluish tint. In habit, the fungus has the same appearance as 
fiysterostomeUa Myrtacearum Rehm. Perhaps the measurements of the 
sporidia must later be corrected when ripe material has been examined.
