angia are about 1 mm. long, in clusters of four to ten, on 
straight or flexuose combined stalks from 1 to 5 mm. in length; 
the stalks are sometimes more or less free in the upper half; the 
slender tubular threads of the capillitium spring from the whole of 
the lower part of the sporangium-wall, which forms a persistent 
cup; they are straight and nearly simple, rising in a brush about

which modify to some extent the former description, but it confirms 
the view that the species belongs to the Tubulinacee.
