Almost uniformly translucent dirty amber-brown. Perithecium wry large and crowded with spun

lip-cells forming an erect, median, straight, hyaline, cylindrical or slight!; inflated, nearly truncate termi-

divergent, deep black brown, nearly straight or slightly outcurved pointed out rowth, it- tip ncarl on a 
level with that of the median projection: the basal cells collectively slightly larg r than the short stalk-cell, 
and not distinguished from the base of the perithecium. Basal cell of the n ptade very large, tap ring 
throughout from the broad distal to the narrow basal end, paler than the small, flattened, deeper brown 
subbasal cell. The appendage consisting of a relatively large basal stalk-cell, which is slightly longer 
than broad, and partly united to the stalk-cell of the perithecium ; above are four short nmWively smaller 
cells, their septa slightly oblique, the three lower bearing branch usual, which may branch one .ibo 
their basal cells, the branchlets brown, erect, rigid, closely aggregated; the uppermost cell pak r, with a

This large and fine species is allied to S. Brarhydrri, but is abundantly distinct as a comparison of 
the figures will show, and in the type material shows no variation en i»t in size
