A sei paraphysate, eight-spored, very briefly pedicellate, clavate to ovate, thick walled 
at apex, 43-574 x 23-27; they do not react to iodine. Paraphyses very numerous, 
hyaline, filiform 2-5-3 thick, slightly exceeding the asci. Spores distichous or con- 
globate, ellipsoid, two-celled, fuscous, later brown, very slightly constricted, cells almost 
equal, 20-21 u x 8-5-10u.

Stromata ascophora epiphylla, superficialia, sparsa, 4-7 mm. diam., radiato-contexta ; 
hypostromati epidermali; loculi numerosi, e medio evoluti plus minusve concentrice 
dispositi, sed discreti, rotundati v. elliptici, 160-500 u lati, 80-90 u alti; hypothecio tenue. 
Asci paraphysati, octospori, brevissime pedicellati, clavati v. ovati, ad apicem incrassati, 
43-57 u x 23-274; paraphysibus numerosis, hyalinis, filiformis, sporae distichae v. 
conglobatae, ellipticae, medio 'septatae, brunneae, leniter constrictae, loculis subaequalibus,

On Halleria elliptica, Kentani, 4.12.15, Pegler (Pegler 2348) [9163]. 
Stromata epiphyllous, superficial, scattered, round, up to 3 mm. diam., obscurely 
brown, 100-115 v. high, attached at many points, radiate in structure, with an opaque, 
rugose covering membrane 30-45 u thick; hypothecium brown, 30-36 u thick, loculi 
numerous, densely crowded in concentric circles, but discrete, round, 190-250 u diam., 
or becoming oval by crowding and then 250-280 u x 1604. Hypostroma epidermal, but 
occasionally, in centre of stroma, more deeply seated and invading the palisade cells. 
Asci ovate, 50 u x 26-33 vy or clavate, 66-70 u x 20-23 u, thickened at apex, eight-spored ; 
paraphyses hyaline, linear, about 1:5 u thick, soon disappearing. Spores distichous or 
tristichous, at first equally or sub-egually 1-septate, constricted, later muriform, usually 
transversely 5 (rarely) 7-septate, and with a longitudinal septum running the length of 
spore, rarely constricted at secondary septa; septa very delicate, plasma granular, hyaline 
(mature ?) 22-24 x 9-l10yu. Asci stain brick-red with iodine.
