 p. 25, t. 8, f. 3? 



Essentially an inhabitant of southern lands (S. France, &c.). The 

 only specimen in the British Museum is imperfectly developed, and 

 it has been impossible to find spores ; it agrees externally with the 

 diagnosis given for the species.

 forming a dark margin ; paraphyses simple ; asci elongate, 4-8-

Essentially a tropical genus only sparingly represented in Europe. 

 Owing to the elongate apothecia it is perhaps more characteristically

 are unknown.
