For many years it was not vonileaa that the sexual stage and 
the sporangial ae were states of the same fungus. Consequently 
they were treated separately in fungus books, pees it le he 
realised that they were closely allied, as e.g. in Link Se 
p. 94), where Syzygites immediately follows Sporodinia

the appendix to Fries Syst. Orb. Veg. i. p. 364. Concerning 
this Fries states (Syst. Mycol. iii. p. 330) : “Char. Flocci tubulosi,
