paler, subfimbriate tip. Asci oblong-ovate, p sp. about 20-25 x 7-8 /i. 

 Sporidia crowded, acutely elliptical, hyaline, becoming dark, 7-8 x 

 4|-5 n- The asci and sporidia often ooze out at the tip of the long 

 beak or ostiolum, and form a dark colored globule, which inclines to 

 flatten out, and thus gives the appearance of an enlarged, truncate tip.
