Hypophyllous. Mycelium usually dense, forming irregular, 

 whitish spots or patches. Perithecia scattered, flattened or depressed 

 above, large, 225-280 [i ; appendages very numerous, 250-300 or 

 more, about half as long as the diameter of the perithecium, at first 

 clavate, then attenuate and once coiled at the apex, hyaline. Asci 

 numerous, 50 or more, about 27 x 80 [i. Sporidia 2, or rarely more, 

 large, about 17 x 27 /i, nearly filling the ascus.
