 fragments of the mycelium, x 420 diam. 



Obs. The specimens exhibited only a few detached sporidia, which appeared to be 

 produced from the perithecia ; so that the description of the fruit is doubtful. The 

 specimens are not in good condition. The outer coat of the perithecia appears to be 

 formed by the curling round and approximation of the ramifications of the threads of 

 the mycelium, within which outer coat a membrane is afterwards formed. It is not clear 

 whether or not the curling threads sprang from the tips of the sides of the branches. 

 The large swellings in the threads exactly resemble the spores of some Helminthosporia, 

 and frequently break off from the mycelium and become free during examination under 

 the microscope, so that in the absence of perithecia the plant might easily be taken 

 for a Helminthosporium.
