irregularly bent or twisted; the asymmetrical lip-cells forming irregular projections, the two inner Mil- 
tended by unequal dark patches. Subbasal cell of the receptacle somewhat longer than the basal, nearly

Outer appendage simple (or distally branched?), slightly divergent; the basal cell somewhat inflated 
abruptly broader than the subbasal cell, its basal third or more obliquely involved by the op ih ol the 
insertion cell: the basal cell of the inner appendage similar to that of the Dttter, without suffusion, hearing 
a short branch on either side, each of which may bear several bran.hlets. Spores 45 X 3.5 y. Penthe-
