Stromata minute, bursting through the periderm by minute 
longitudinally arranged fissures, multilocular, the loculi arranged 
without order, very minute, opening usually by a single pore 
in the centre of a grey, then fuscous-brown, disc. Spores 5 X ly; 
sporophores very densely tufted, slightly branched, slender, up 
to 60 p» long.

Dis hed by its very small stromata, which are rather 
crowded and burst through the periderm by minute pores or 
chinks or stellate cracks. Berkeley’s specimen is exactly —s

Stromata scattered, very small, blackish, not raising the 
epidermis much, opening by a single central pore (more rarely 
by two or three) in a minute whitish dark-margined dise which 
alone projects, containing within a few radiately arranged loculi 
or even nearly undivided. Spores 4-5 x 1-1-25; sporophores 
filiform, very slender, up to 40 w long (5-12 x 0-5-1 yp, soon 
disappearing, Died.).

The disc is at first blackish, but later pasties whitish-grey, 
beginning in the middle and so leaving the margin dark. The 
black stromata shine through the translucent epidermis. There 
seems to be some error in Diedicke’s description of the sporo- 
hores.
