Thallus verruculosus, saepe parce sorediosus. Apo- 

 thecia minuta vel minutissima, late adnata, depresso-con- 

 vexa vel hemisphaerica, immarginata, livido-nigricantia aut 

 nigra aut rariiis livido-pallescentia, nuda. Epithecium sor- 

 dide violascens, KHO pulchre violascens. Hypothecium 

 pallidum. Sporae vulgo oblongae, apicibus obtusis, 3-sep- 

 tatae, p. p. curvatae, long. O.oii — O.ois mm ( — O.020 mm sec. 

 Stizenb.), crass. O.003 mm (raro O.004, • — ,,0.0025 mm" sec. 

 annot. Nyl.). 



Distr. Praesertim ad corticem Pini sylvestris crescit 

 et in Germania collecta etiam ad corticem aliarum arborum. 

 Ad Mustiala in Ta. (A. Kullhem) una cum Catillaria synothea 

 sec. Th. Fr. 1. c. p. 381 et 578. 



Facie externa vix differt a forma apotheciis minus intense 

 coloratis instructa Catillariae synotheae, sed sporis 3-septatis, 

 paraphysibus crassioribus et ramoso-connexis atque hypothecio 

 alio modo contexto ei dissimilis. Thallus tenuis aut raro magis 

 evolutus, vulgo dispersus, saepe sorediis parum distinctis, inter- 

 dum bene sorediosus, albido-glaucescens aut cinerascens. Apo- 

 thecia saepe crebra, lat. O.2- O.3 mm. Hypothecium hyphis irre- 

 gulariter contextis, membranis modice incrassatis, tubulis tenuibus. 

 Hymenium circ. O.040 mm crassum, jodo persistenter caerulescens 

 („demum fusco-violascens" sec. Stizenb. et „violaceo-fuscescens" sec. 

 annot. Nyl.). Epithecium sordide violascens, sec. Stizenb. „oliva- 

 ceum". Paraphyses tubulis crass. O.0015 mm, parce ramoso- 

 connexis ramosisque, gelatinam in KHO turgescentem percur- 

 rentibus. „Asci pyriformes, long. O.025 — O.ose, crass. O.012 mm" 

 (sec. Stizenb.), „polystichi" (sec. annot. Nyl.). Sporae p. p. rectae. 

 Gonidia globosa aut subglobosa, diam. O.008 — O.oii mm, simplicia 

 et parce 1-septata, vacuolis lateralibus, membrana tenui, baud 

 gelatinosa (descr. anatom. sec. Zwackh L. Exs. n. 534). In 

 Zwackh L. Exs. n. 470 Nyl. sec. annot. in herb, suo conidia 

 observavit bacilliformia, recta, long. O.006, crass. O.0006 mm 

 (similia etiam in specim. ad Eichstatt ab Arn. lecto vidit) et 

 simul alia filiformia, arcuata, long. O.016 — O.020, crass. O.ooi mm.
