branchlets usually short, and two-celled, the distal cell usually long, beak-like and dear purplish brown 
the lower cell hyaline or light brown and in the lower branchlets usually bearing long-necked antfn ridii 
the terminal branches with several short branchlets of a similar character. The smaller shorter append- 
ages about the bases of the larger ones, mostly dark purplish brown, with many beak-like cells. IVri- 
thecia usually several, large, symmetrical, purplish brown; the tip short, rather narrow and aluuptl 
distinguished; the basal cells relatively very large, forming a portion of the stalk sometimes half as long 
as the perithecium proper; the stalk-cell stout and elongate. IYrithccia 185 225 X 1"> * /*, the basal

Receptacle usually quite opaque, long, slender; the outline unbroken and nearly straight, tapering 
evenly to the slightly geniculate base, which is nearly hyaline just above the foot : the margin of the suf- 
fused area distally strongly oblique, especially before maturity; the appendicular cells small, becoming

associated with one or two subterminal smaller branchlets, the basal cells of which are dark contrasting 
brown: the terminal branches hyaline with branchlets like those of the basal cell; the branchlets, bow- 
ever, more numerous, contrasting, brown, simple or branched, many having characteristic beaMik 
terminations, while others are blunt tipped, with oblique septa. The smaller peripheral appendage 
more or less crowded around the bases of the larger ones, with conspicuous and numerous 1- ak-hke termi-

straight, very slightly inflated near the base, with a slight snbmedian enlargement; tapering th. ughom

than the stalk-cell an
