184 FUNGUS-FLORA. 



64 hyaline, smooth, fusiform spores, 17-18 x o-Q /x, aggre- 

 gated in a cluster near the top of the ascus at maturit}- ; 

 paraphyses septate, hyaline, slender, often branched.

Type specimen examined. 



Readily distinguished by the narrowly fusiform spores.

 vesicular ; asci broadly clavate, sporidiferous cysts seated 

 towards the apices ; spores 64, broadly fusiform, hyaline, 

 smooth, 17-18 x 5 /x; paraphyses filiform, stout, simple.
