The curved hairs surrounding the perithecia are rough, and of a very dark brown colour ; 
the branched threads of the mycelium are hyaline, the sporidia dark brown, 4-septate, and 
0:002 inch long. Some other sporidia, which are cellular, occur ; but they seem to belong 
to some other species. Brisbane (Е. М. Bailey, no. 329).
