"Perithecia scattered irregularly, covered by the cuticle and sub- 

 jacent cells, which are traversed by dark, cellular mycelium here and 

 there giving rise to short, toruloid threads. Asci large, cylindrical, 

 obtuse, slightly attenuated below. Sporidia biseriate, composed of 

 two apposed, irregular cones, which contain at first a single large glob- 

 ule, but at length have two irregular endochromes. Remarkable for 

 its curious mycelium and large sporidia." Cke. Hndbk., 2697.

 fluence more, entirely sunk in the substance of the stem, rather large 

 (A mm.), with thick, coriaceous walls, and minute, punctiform ostiola, 

 not elevating the epidermis. Asci cylindrical, 150-200x12-15 fx. 

 Sporidia uniseriate, oblong-cylindrical, olive-brown, uniseptate and
