This is one of the finest and most characteristic species of the genus, and is the only one of this . . lion 
in which the pcrithecium is provided with a tooth-like outgrowth. The basal half of the simple branches 
of the inner appendages appears always to be composed of three cells, distinguished by black septa: but 
the lowest branch of the outer appendage has but two sucl 
large, with stout necks abruptly and characteristically bent. The reddish color by which the disl portion 
of th* brnnehp* is suffused mav be accidental, but is present in all the specimens examined, both younj
