Pale straw-colored. Peritheclum rather long, slightly inflated, tapering to a blunt apex witli 
rounded lips, its stalk consisting of a single large free basal cell surmounted by three smaller 
cells. Easal and sub-basal cells of the receptacle long and very obliquely superposed, lying 
almost side by side. The appendage consisting of a basal cell not wholly free, but partially con- 
nected with the stalk-cell of the perithecium at its base, followed by a second sub-triangula'r cell, 
the oblique upper walls of which separate it on the inside from the body of the antheridium' 
proper, and on the outside from the narrow cell which forms the sterile margin of the latter.
