 young, then becoming plane or slightly convex, rather 

 fleshy, about 1 mm. across, orange-yellow, orange-red, or 

 pinkish; cortex parenchymatous, cells irregularly polygonal, 

 6-9 p, diameter, giving origin below the margin to hyaline, 

 septate, branched hyphae which form the subiculum; asci 

 .cylindrical, apex rounded, 8-spored; spores obliquely 1- 

 seriate, hyaline, smooth, elliptical, ends obtuse, 11-13 X 6 p.; 

 paraphyses slender, septate, slightly thickened at the tips.
