Through the enlargement of cell V, the broad insertion-cell in this specie is thro* n out free from h 
perithecium, which is relatively small, and united to the reeeptacle up to a poinl not far below ii broadly 
blackened blunt apex. A sufficiently characteristic form, but without striking peculiarities.

Perithecium pale yellowish brown, slightly and evenly rounded, united to the receptacle as far ; its 
subterminal cells, the nearly symmetrical tip rather broad, often flattened distally, beo ing deeply suf- 
fused with blackish, except the narrow translucent margins of the lips. Receptacle pale yellowish, cell I 
short and stout, distally suffused with blackish brown; cell VI very small, cell Y free from the | rithecium 
sometimes lateral. Insertion-cell thick and black, sometimes carried forward oppo te the apex of the 
perithecium through the elongation of cells IV and V. < rater appendage consisting of a large basal < I 
several times longer than broad, which may bear terminally one or two branches, the outer in* 
once branched, the branchlets very long, slender, tapering, hyaline or pale yellowish, more or I' - ft uou 
the inner appendage sometimes laterally placed, usually single, simple, consisting of .<> or three short 
cells with one or two lateral antheridia and sometimes producing longer branchlets, the basal cell much 
smaller than that of the outer appendage. Peritheeia 110 120 X 35 10 ft. Total length to up of peri.
