Paraspora iriseptata, Grove, Journ. Bot., vol. xiii. (1884), 

 p. 196, pi. 246, f. 9 ; Sacc, SylL, n. 1084. 



On dead wood. Invisible to the naked eye ; consisting of

 MILOWIA. Mass. (fig. 1, p. 313.) 



Sterile hyphae forming an intricately interwoven tuft that 

 produces here and there towards the surface large vesicular 

 bodies, which in turn bear 2—4 erect, cj'lindrical outgrowths, 

 the contents of which become broken up by transverse septa 

 into conidia ; the conidia at length escape through the 

 ruptured apex of the mother liypha.
