44. Lachnella microspora (Kanouse) Seaver, sp. nov. 



Lachnella tricolor var. microspora Kanouse, Papers Mich. Acad. Sci. 20: 73. 

 1935. 



Apothecia gregarious, stipitate, externally pale-blue, or 

 bluish-green, densely hairy, .5 mm. in diameter; hymenium con- 

 cave, yellowish; hairs slender, nearly hyaline with transmitted 

 light, bluish-green to the unaided eye; asci clavate, 8-spored; 

 spores 1-1.5 X 5-5.5 /i; paraphyses filiform. 



On decaying wood. 



Type locality: Cascade Glen, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Dr. B. Kanouse recorded this variety as indicated above. 

 The difference in size of the spores would, in the opinion of the 

 writer, give it specific rank. It is one of the few species which 

 has greenish hairs and in this is unique.
