LUZON, Apayao Subprovince, Bur. Sci. 28331 Fenix, May 7, 1917, on 

 leaves of Macaranga tanatrius. 



This species is distinguished by the very numerous short mycelial setae; 

 the alternate capitate hyphopodia; and the large spores tapering slightly 

 from the middle toward the ends. In this species the spores sometimes 

 germinate while still within the perithecia. Two such spores were ob- 

 served with germ tubes about 40 n in length.

 pitatis alternantibus, cellula superiore ovata 12-15 p diam., cellula 

 inferiore brevi, 6-8 p, longa; hyphopodiis mucronatis paucis,
