Iiophium fusisporum. Coohe. 



Perithecia subsessile, expanded upwards, conchiform, laterally 

 compressed, black, shining, striate. Asci subcylindrical. Sporidia

 Cooke Ftingi, Britt. ser. it., 200. 



On fir branches and bark. 

 • Sporidia -05 m.m, long. I have now no doubt that the true L. 

 mytilinum has filiform sporidia the length of the ascus, as described 

 in " Handbook." Specimens from Dr. Capron, of Shere, and in 

 Fiedler's " Exsicc." are of this character. Fuckel's No. 762 in 

 my copy is sterile.
