 length of 90-117 yi and a diameter of 10-12 ju; spores 1-seriate, or 

 becoming 2-seriate, nearly filling the entire ascus, broadly ellip- 

 soid, olivaceous-brown with a thickened, darker band on one side, 

 containing two oil-drops, 5-8 X 12-17 ju; paraphyses 3-branched,

Apothecia arising singly or several from minute, hemi- 

 spherical sclerotia on the surface of the substratum, thin, mem- 

 branous, shallow cup-shaped, reaching a diameter of 2-3 mm., 

 stipitate; hymenium olivaceous to olive-brown when spores are 

 mature; stem long, slender, hair-like; asci 8-spored; spores simple, 

 ellipsoid, olive-brown. 



Type species, Martinia panamaensis Whetzel. 



This name is apparently untenable having previously been 

 used. See Vaniot, Acad. Geogr. Bot. 12: 31. 1903. 



1. Martinia panamaensis Whetzel, Mycologia 34: 586. 1946.

 tenuated below, reaching a length of 35-40 n and a diameter of

 paraphyses branched near the base, scarcely enlarged above.
