 erumpeut through the slightly tubercular-elevated epidermis above. 

 Asci clavate-cyliudrical, 90-110 x 12/', 8-8pored, with tiliform para-

Perithecia gregarious, buried in the bark, globose, black, ^—2 

 mm. diam., raising the surface of the bark into distinct pustules 

 which are barely pierced by the papilliform ostiolum. Asci cylindri- 

 cal, 90-110x12,'/, paraphysate, 8-spored, stipitate. Sporidia uni-

 10//..
