Planta fere convenit cum M. Esenbeckiana (Fée sub Melanotheca), sed apothecia sunt 
magis oblongata et irregulariter acutiuscule angulosa et distincte prominenter mar- 
ginata, cæterum ut in illa statu madefacto fusco-nigricantia, carnosa; epithecium 
olivaceo-fuscum; hypothecium fere hyalinum; paraphyses tenacissime conglutinatæ, 
laxe connexæ,; asci obovoidei, superne pachydermei, 8-spori ; sporæ e hyalino demum 
fuscidulæ, cire. 20 4 longæ et 10 y latæ, obovoideæ, articulus inferior vulgo paullo 
brevior et angustior. — Apothecia demum degenerescendo ampliata et amorpho- 
macularia (unde nomen Friesii, prioritate gaudens), quod etiam hine inde in affinibus 
M. arthonioide, M. Graphidis et M. Esenbeckiana observatur. — In cortice off. (ad
