 tricis 6 mycelio miniatse superficie referens, intus extusque ater ; peritheciis 

 elongatis, collo brevi, ostiolo inconspicuo. Berk, in Hook. Lond. Journ. Eat., 



vol. iv. p. 311. Forming a black, widely effused stratum, exhibiting all the 



markings of the matrix, which is tinged to the depth of a quarter of an inch, 

 orange red, black both within and without; stroma hard, half a line or more 

 thick ; perithecia vertical, elongated, with a very short neck ; ostiola not visi- 

 ble externally even under a lens. Analogous to Sp. hypomilta, Mont., re-

 exhibits on its surface all its markings. It has the habit of the tribe Concres- 

 centes.
