al 
diam. and 190-240 u high, the base of the loculi being 30-45 u from the lower surface of 
a leaf which is normally about 130 yp thick. lLocular wall opaque, black, 13-16 » thick, 
or somewhat lighter in colour and evidently prosenchymatous in structure. Loculi 
dehiscing by a apical pore opening towards upper side of leaf. In the bilocular stromata 
the space between the apices of the loculi is entirely filled with opaque, black, stromata] 
tissue. Asci paraphysate, eight-spored, ellipsoid or narrow cylindrical, straight or curved, 
80-87 » X 15-17 u, with a short foot 6-7» long. Spores distichous or obliquely mono- 
stichous, hyaline, two-celled, not constricted, fusiform, 20-23-54 x 8:5-10 u, wall about 
1 -5-2 u thick, cells sub-equal, or upper cell 10 u long, lower cell 13-5 u long. 
Endodothella natalensis Doidge, nov. sp. 
Stromata epiphylla, minuta, rotundata, cir. 3 mm. diam. v. eantidendi majores, leniter 
convexa, atra, nitidula. Loculi 1-2 in quoque stromati, sub-globosi v. globosi-depressi, 
240-320 u diam., 190-240 u alti, totam fere foli crassitudinem occupantes, clypea, atro- 
brunneo, subopaco, ca. 15 u crasso, 500» lato, parietibus opacis, atris, 13-16  crassis. 
Asci paraphysati, octospori, ellipsoidei v. cylindracei, recti v. curvati, 80-87 u x 15-17 u, 
pede breve 6-7 u long. Sporae distichae v. oblique monostichae, hyaline, 1-septatae, 
haud constrictae, fusiformae, 20-23-54 x 8-5-10 u, cellulis subaequalibus, v. supero 10 vu 
longo, infero 13-5 u longo.

Stromata round, conical to hemispherical, 0 -7—-0 -85 mm. diam., in groups of two to three, 
dull black, epiphyllous, unilocular, surrounded by a red brown zone in the leaf tissue ; 
on the under side of the leaf only a wine-red discoloration is visible. The stroma fills 
the epidermis and the two sub-epidermal layers of elongated, flat cells, and raises these 
up to form an opaque clypeus, tearing them away from the adjacent layers of parenchyma. 
In the cavity thus formed the loculi are produced ; they are covered by a clypeus formed 
from three layers of cells and about 100 u thick; they are 650 u diam. and 180 u high; 
being separated at the base from the leaf parenchyma by a thin brown stromatic layer, 
the hyphae penetrating with the parenchyma in a more or less compact mass. Asci 
clavate, briefly pedicellate, paraphysate, 55-754 x 18-16 u, eight-spored. Spores 
distichous, oblong or clavate, hyaline, septate somewhat above the middle, not or slightly 
constricted, 14-17 u x 3-4, upper cell shorter but broader, rounded, lower cell tapering 
somewhat.
