"Peritheda scattered, subglobose, black, rather prominent, with a 

 mamnrillate ostiohim, seated on the decayed leaves and soon becoming 

 superficial. Asci clavate. Sporidia cylindrical, slightly curved at 

 one or both ends, uniseptate (then probably triseptate), hyaline, 40-50 



X 8 /JL."

Perithecia subglobose, covered, membranaceous or coriaceo-mem- 

 branaceous, black, witli the ostiolum (typically papilliform) erumpent. 

 Asci clavate-cylindrical, paraphysate. Sporidia ovoid or oblong, con-

Differs from Lcestadia in the presence of paraphyses. The peri-
