 mm. in diameter, several often confluent; peritheeial cavities few to each 

 stroma, opening on the under side of the leaf; asci clavate, 8-spored; spores

 none; asci stipitate, cylindrical, about 65 X 7|tt; paraphyses abundant, thread- 

 like; ascospores obliquely monostichous, colorless, narrowly ellipsoid, about
