Perithecia carnose, subdiaphanous, at length of the consistence of 

 horn, superficial, conic-acute, nestling in a loose, cottony, conidia- 

 bearing mycelium. Conidia oblong, obscurely uniseptate, obtuse at 

 each end, Asci elongated-lanceolate, acuminate above, obtuse below, 

 8-spored, stipe globular. Sporidia filiform, continuous, about as long 

 as the asci, hyaline. 



B. parasitica, Fckl. 1. c. 



Perithecia gregarious, free, conical, acute, subventricose in the 

 middle, finally compressed, about the size of the perithecia of Nectria 

 coccinea, glabrous, yellowish-green, diaphanous, becoming opake, dark 

 brown, seated in a conidiophorous mycelium, first white, then yellowish- 

 green, finally brown, crowned with a terminal white globule. Conidia 

 oblong, 14 x 5 /u, hyaline. Asci lanceolate, acuminate, globose-stipi- 

 tate at base. Sporidia nearly as long as the asci, filiform, continuous, 

 hyaline. Parasitic on Bertia moriformis, (Germany); Var. cespitosa, 

 Pk. 43d Rep. p. 33, has the perithecia crowded in dense tufts and 

 sometimes tapering above into a rather long neck, asci and sporidia 

 slenderer and longer.
