VIII, c, 6 Sydow: Enumeration of Philippine Fungi 437 
The fungus is not a typical member of the genus Apiosporella, as the 
penthecia, although solitary, are usually situated with their bases upon a 
more or less effused black stroma and the lowest portion of the perithecial 
wall is hardly developed. It cannot be placed among the Dofhideaceae, 
as the perithecia have distinct papillge. The sporidia are very long, 
unicellular, and only at perfect maturity are they 1-septate near the base!

The perithecia have a more or less broad hyaline margin which is 
sometimes up to 180 m wide. The asci contain either 8 spores or only 
^> 4, or 2 spores. The latter are very variable- in size. In younger asci 
they measure only about 30-40 ^ in length and 10-16 m in breadth, but, 
when in full maturity, they attain 75 t^ in length and 35 ^ in breadth. 
The species certainly comes very near to Micropeltis bogoriensis v. Hoehn,
