(p. sp.) about 75 xl2 /*, paraphysate, 8-spored. Sporidia uniseriate or 

 subbiseriate above, oblong-elliptical, yellow-brown, with three main 

 septa, slightly constricted at the middle septum, finally multiseptate 

 and muriform, 18-25 x 11-13 /i.

The perithecia are mostly thickly gregarious or crowded, but not 

 cespitose. Accompanied by perithecia with brown, Diplodia spores 

 rather smaller than the ascospores.
