Mycelium septate, branching at right angles, occasionally two branches 

 coming from the same cell. Conidiophores erect, 30/^ long, terminated by two 

 or three elongate, ovoid spores, recalling SporotricJium Beurmanni. Hyphae 

 moniliform or smooth and united into a coremium. A layer of clear mucilage 

 surrounds the groups of spores. Spores elongate, ovoid at first, becoming 

 biscuit-shaped, 6 x 2/a, with a thick, nonstaining membrane. Gram-positive. 



Colony on glucose has a wrinkled white center and radiating hyaline 

 margin when young, becoming rose gray; then the color of barley sugar and 

 a creamy consistency. On Sabouraud conservation agar, colony at first white 

 and dry, becoming wrinkled and creamy. On ascitic agar, tiny white colonies 

 at first, becoming wrinkled and rounded with center brown, margin white and 

 radiately striate. On potato glycerol, colonies very small and slightly yel- 

 lowish, then grayish with white rays, then orange red covered with a loose
