Meliola arborescens is one of the most interesting species 

 of this large genus. The sporidia are only 3 -septate, the 

 two inner cells being much larger than the outer ones. The 

 mycelium consists of long hyphae, some of them are later- 

 ally connected. They are lacking the hyphopodia. The 

 very numerous straight mycelial setae are in the upper part 

 very much branched in a dendroid manner. In this respect 

 they agree well with the setae of Meliola pvJcherrima Svd.

 anastomosantibus saepe longitudinaliter connatis atro-brunneis
