 phis longiusculis ramosis laxe intertextis 5 — 7 micro. crassis fuscis saepe

Hab. upon the upper side of a climbing species of Palmae, Puerto 

 Princesa (Mt. Pulgar), Palawan, April, 1911, no. 13030. 



A beautiful species, very well marked by the disposition of the elon- 

 gated perithecia and the nodules of the hyphae. Many cells of the hyphae 

 are nodulose-incrassate, the nodules often being more or less exerted and 

 so become the hyphopodia. The latter are continuous, the colonies of the 

 fungus are more or less circular in shape, promiscuously scattering over 

 the entire blade.
