Prop. Am. Acad. Arts and Sci., Vol. XX XV, p. 443. April, 1U00. 
Hyaline or pale straw colored. Receptacle consisting of a basal and one or two more single super- 
posed cells, the cells above these becoming rather irregularly divided longitudinally to form a double m\\ 
of variable length, above which a second longitudinal division appears, the receptacle in this region In ii|g 
made up of three-celled tiers as far as the base of the perithecium, above which its distal part mnsista of 
several superposed pairs of cells, or of two rows of cells more irregularly distributed, the in* lion of tin 
appendages rather indefinite, the cells composing it producing irregular hyaline or brownish branches 
distally. Perithecium externally nearly straight, the inner margin convex, the tip rather abruptly differ- 
entiated, straight or curved outward. Perithecia 90-100 X 25-MO (L Receptacle 300-336 Total 
length to tip of perithecium 365-400 X 40-45 /(.

Receptacle consisting of an indeterminate series of superposed cell* indefinitely multiple I by inter- 
calary division and with occasional longitudinal septa. Axis of the appendage imilar to that of the 
receptacle and continuous with it, giving rise to a double row of branches arising from small .-ells pa- 
rated distally and obliquely from its successive members; many of these small cells nearer the base appar- 
ently converted directly to pointed antheridial cells. Perithecia consist?- "' « small and determinate 
number of cells.
