Meliola livistoniae is distinguished by the forked setae and the lesuaiiaek: 
lobed capitate hyphopodia. There is great variation in the shape of the 
spores of this species; some of the spores are cylindric and slender, 12 u 
diam., others are 20-22 » diam. :

The setae are especially numerous in the vicinity of the perithecia. The 
ostiole is formed by a plate of thin-walled cells. This Meliola is associated 
with a species of Helminthosporium.
