"Spores .0075 -.01 mm. long, .004— .005 mm. broad. Very closely allied to 

 L. furvdla, Nyl. The stratum beneath the hypothecium is composed of large 

 cells intermingled with branching fibres (which, however, prevail more in the 

 lower portion) and is accordingly, quite unlike the UBual exciple." (Stirtn.)
