Perithecia minute, black, punctiform, ultimately superficial, 

 scattered, depressed globose, olivaceous, but dark brown from 

 contained spores, membranaceous, with round slightly papillate 

 mouth, 140-160 /Li diam. Sporules numerous, dark brown, fusoid 

 to somewhat oval, 3-4-septate, not constricted at septa, with 1-2 

 obliquely longitudinal median septa, 14-17 x 7-8 /x.

Sporodochia minute, sessile, round to elliptical, gregarious or 

 broadly effused, on pale portion at junction of stem and root, also 

 on root. Conidiophores ruddy in mass, hyaline individually, 

 radiating, septate, not constricted at septa, tapering to a fine 

 point, 120x3|/i. Conidia produced at apex, very abundant, 

 hyaline, crescent-shaped, acute at both ends, 3-5 septate, not con- 

 stricted at septa, guttulate, average 70 x 2^ /z. 



Sandringham, Victoria; on flowering stem of Lobelia gihhosa,

It differs from F. roseum, Link, in the slender, graceful conidia, 

 and seems to be quite a characteristic species.

Perithecia black, punctiform, somewhat gregarious or solitary, 

 slightly erumpent, olive by transmitted light, depressed globose 

 to oval, membranaceous, of parenchymatous texture, with apical 

 pore, 170-210 /M diam. Sporidia clear olivaceous, oblong, rounded
