Distinguished by the large coarsely furfuraceous perithecia. 



This species has been reported but once and the type speci- 

 men seems to be quite distinct in the presence of the bran-like 

 granules with which the perithecia are covered but whether this 

 character is constant must be decided from a study of fresh 

 material.
