eight-spored, spores obliquely uniseriate or biseriate, 90 X 

 13-18 [L. Spores oval or subcymbiform, ends rounded, 

 one-septate, not constricted at the septum, wall distinctly 

 longitudinally striate, 18-34 X 8-13 jjl. 



This species is common in Ceylon. It was included in 

 Thwaites's collections, but was assigned by Berkeley and 

 Broome to Nectria sanguinea, ex Thwaites 29, and Nectria 

 cinnabarina, ex Thwaites 1102. 



According to von Hohn^l and Weese (Ann. Myc, IX., 

 p. 423), Nectria striatospora Zim.m.. = Nectria discophoraMont. 



Nectria lucida v. Hohnel. Perithecia usually in clusters in 

 small numbers on a feebly developed stroma, or often occur- 

 ring singly, globose, or ovoid, 0*35 mm. diameter, with a 

 small flat, not elevated, apical disc, and a minute conical 

 ostiolum, glabrous, blood red, becoming dark red, darkening 

 especially at the ostiolum and round the margin of the 

 apical disc. Wall of the perithecium almost opaque when 

 mounted. Asci cylindric, eight-spored, 70-100 x 6-8 \il. 

 Spores oval or cymbiform, ends obtuse, one-septate, not, or 

 slightly, constricted at the septum, hyaline, 10-16 x 5-7 \i.. 

 Common at Hakgala, especially on Acacia.
