Very similar to E. Callidce. Amber-brown. Perithecium large subfusiform, the margins generally 
iik.it or less distinctly corrugated, often marked by fine transverse striations which may be wholly absent, 
the tip relatively small and rather abruptly distinguished, the inner lip-cell well defined, projecting beyond 
the other lip-cells so that the apex usually appears oblique, asymmetrical and slightly sulcate; the basal 
-lis somewhat shorter than the stalk-cell, their lower septa nearly equal and symmetrical, both slightly 
Uique. Receptacle of medium size, the basal cell distally enlarged lying beside the subbasal cell anil 
extending to the stalk-cell of the perthecium. Appendage short, the two basal cells rather small and 
nearly equal in length, consisting of three rows of six, four, and four cells respectively, the discharge-tube 
slightly curved, abruptly nearly erect, distally somewhat narrower and conical when young, the marginal 
cell extending marly to the base of the subbasal cell. Spores 48 X 5 [i. Perithecia 275-325 X 45-50 /*, 
the stalk-cell 100-130 ft, the basal cells 75-100 /*. Receptacle 100 X 26 fi. Appendage 100 /x. Antheri- 
dmm 45 X 21 p, the discharge tube 21 fi. Total length to tip of perithecium r ..

This species, which is closely allied to E. Callidce may be distinguished by the different number of an- 
jheruha cells m .ts antheridium, the stalk-cell of which is differently related to the receptacle, as well as 
by the different relation which the stalk-cell bears to the basal cells of the perithecium. The latter also 
has a characteristic fusiform outline from the stalk-cell to the tips. Both figures are taken from the Natal 
material. °
