Perithecia gregarious, minute (.16 mm.), clothed (except 

 the black apex) with a thin white tomentum, seated on a 

 thin snow-white, tomentose-arachnoid subiculum. Asci cyl- 

 indrical, 40 X 3 /i, without paraphyses, 8-spored. Sporidia 

 uniseriate, oblong, obtuse, hyaline, 5 to 6 x 2 ;«, with a single 

 nucleus in the centre (becoming uniseptate) ? 



This is closely allied to H. subcarnea E. & E., but differs 

 in the color of the subiculum, the black apex of the peri- 

 thecia, the narrower asci, and rather longer sporidia. Pos- 

 sibly Nectria Rexiana Ellis.
